We're excited to announce the next major release of Primer React! 🥳 Starting in v36, you'll see changes to @primer/react that make it even easier to build consistent, accessible experiences that feel right at home at GitHub.

New components ✨

The following components have been moved from @primer/react/drafts to @primer/react:

Breaking changes ⚠️

The v36 release of @primer/react introduces several breaking changes to components and changes to the package itself. To understand how to migrate between v35 and v36 of @primer/react, review the sections below to understand how your project may be impacted by these changes.

Components

The following list of components have breaking changes to their API or availability in @primer/react. For a list of deprecated components that have been removed, visit the Removed components section below.

AvatarToken

The size prop for AvatarToken has been updated in v36 to only accept "large" and "xlarge".

v35 v36 
<AvatarToken size="small">
<AvatarToken size="medium">
<AvatarToken size="large">
<AvatarToken size="xlarge">
<AvatarToken size="extralarge">
 
<AvatarToken size="large">
<AvatarToken size="xlarge">

Button

The API for the Button component has been updated to match the specification for this component and align with other implementations like in Primer View Components.

  • The leadingIcon prop has been renamed to leadingVisual

    v35 v36 
    <Button leadingIcon={TrashIcon}>Delete</Button>
    		 
    <Button leadingVisual={TrashIcon}>Delete</Button>

  • The trailingIcon prop has been renamed to trailingVisual

    v35 v36 
    <Button trailingIcon={EyeIcon}>Delete</Button>
    		 
    <Button trailingVisual={EyeIcon}>Delete</Button>

  • The Button.Counter component has been removed, use the count prop instead

    v35 v36 
    <Button>
  Watch
  <Button.Counter>5</Button.Counter>
</Button>
    		 
    <Button count={5}>Watch</Button>

  • The outline variant has been removed, instead use variant="invisible"

    v35 v36 
    <Button variant="outline">Example</Button>
    		 
    <Button variant="invisible">Example</Button>

Checkbox

The validationStatus prop has been updated and no longer supports the 'warning' value. Instead, only 'error' and 'success' are supported.

FilterList

The FilterList component has been deprecated in v36 in favor of the ActionList component. To continue using this component, update your imports for FilterList to import from the deprecated entrypoint.

v35 v36 
import { FilterList } from '@primer/react';
 
import { FilterList } from '@primer/react/deprecated';

FilterSearch

The FilterSearch component has been deprecated in v36. A new filter component is currently in progress but is not yet available. Until a new component is ready, use a combination of Button, TextInput, and ActionList to reproduce this component. To continue using this component, update your imports for FilterSearch to import from the deprecated entrypoint.

v35 v36 
import { FilterSearch } from '@primer/react';
 
import { FilterSearch } from '@primer/react/deprecated';

<TextInputWithTokens size="extralarge">
 
<TextInputWithTokens size="xlarge">
