Migration Guide (v3 -> v4)

Prerequisites

  • Update Angular version to v16 or higher.
  • Use npm v7 or higher. Don't use legacy-peer-deps in your .npmrc -file or with npm install command.
    If you use Yarn or cannot get rid of legacy-peer-deps flag – this step cannot be skipped, but you should be ready to make some additional manual efforts to resolve all transitive peer dependencies.

    See this guide from Troubleshooting section.

  • Update all Taiga UI packages to the latest v3 version.

Run migration schematics

This release introduces a lot of breaking changes. We put in a lot of effort to make updating easier for you. We wrote a bunch of schematics that automatically go through your entire project and fix most of the breaking changes.

Some final manual steps

  • Review all changed code lines. Some of them contains new code comments (something like // TODO: (Taiga UI migration) ). In most cases these comments contains instructions how to manually migrate some deleted entities by new alternative.
  • You can find out that your codebase now contains some imports from @taiga-ui/legacy . This package is a transitional state for many outdated entities before their full removal. Everything you find inside this package in the fourth major release will be removed in the fifth one. So, you can just continue to use them for a while. However, some of those components already have modern alternatives – they will be marked by comment with @deprecated tag (most IDEs displays the such entities as stricken-through). We strongly recommend to replace them by new alternatives as soon as possible!
