Migration from v5 to v6
This guide describes the changes needed to migrate the Date and Time Pickers from v5 to v6.
Introduction
To get started, check out the blog post about the release of MUI X v6.
Start using the new release
In package.json
, change the version of the date pickers package to ^6.0.0
.
-"@mui/x-date-pickers": "5.X.X",
+"@mui/x-date-pickers": "^6.0.0",
Since v6 is a major release, it contains changes that affect the public API. These changes were done for consistency, improved stability and to make room for new features. Described below are the steps needed to migrate from v5 to v6.
Run codemods
The preset-safe
codemod will automatically adjust the bulk of your code to account for breaking changes in v6. You can run v6.0.0/pickers/preset-safe
targeting only Date and Time Pickers or v6.0.0/preset-safe
to target Data Grid as well.
You can either run it on a specific file, folder, or your entire codebase when choosing the <path>
argument.
// Date and Time Pickers specific
npx @mui/x-codemod@latest v6.0.0/pickers/preset-safe <path>
// Target Data Grid as well
npx @mui/x-codemod@latest v6.0.0/preset-safe <path>
Breaking changes that are handled by this codemod are denoted by a ✅ emoji in the table of contents on the right side of the screen.
If you have already applied the v6.0.0/pickers/preset-safe
(or v6.0.0/preset-safe
) codemod, then you should not need to take any further action on these items.
All other changes must be handled manually.
Picker components
✅ Rename the inputFormat
prop
The inputFormat
prop has been renamed to format
on all the pickers components.
<DatePicker
- inputFormat="YYYY"
+ format="YYYY"
/>
Update expected values in tests
The value rendered in the input might have been modified. If you are using RTL or if your date contains single digits sections, non-ASCII characters will be added.
If your tests are relying on the input values, you can clean them with the following method.
export const cleanString = (dirtyString: string) =>
dirtyString
.replace(/[\u2066\u2067\u2068\u2069]/g, '') // Remove non-ASCII characters
.replace(/ \/ /g, '/'); // Remove extra spaces
Update the format of the value
prop
Previously, it was possible to provide any format that your date management library was able to parse.
For instance, you could pass value={new Date()}
when using AdapterDayjs
.
This behavior brought a lot of confusion.
In v6, the format expected by the value
prop is the same as for any other prop holding a date.
Here is the syntax to initialize a date picker at the current date for each adapter:
// Date-fns
<DatePicker value={new Date()} />;
// Dayjs
import dayjs from 'dayjs';
<DatePicker value={dayjs()} />;
// Moment
import moment from 'moment';
<DatePicker value={moment()} />;
// Luxon
import { DateTime } from 'luxon';
<DatePicker value={DateTime.now()} />;
Stop rendering a clock on desktop
In desktop mode, the DateTimePicker
and TimePicker
components will no longer render the TimeClock
component.
The TimeClock
component has been replaced with a new DigitalClock
component instead.
The behavior on Mobile
and Static
variants is still the same.
If you were relying on Clock Picker in desktop mode for tests—make sure to check testing caveats to choose the best replacement for it.
You can manually re-enable the previous clock component using the new viewRenderers
prop.
The code below enables the TimeClock
UI on all the DesktopTimePicker
and DesktopDateTimePicker
in your application.
Take a look at the default props via theme documentation for more information.
const theme = createTheme({
components: {
MuiDesktopTimePicker: {
defaultProps: {
viewRenderers: {
hours: renderTimeViewClock,
minutes: renderTimeViewClock,
seconds: renderTimeViewClock,
},
},
},
MuiDesktopDateTimePicker: {
defaultProps: {
viewRenderers: {
hours: renderTimeViewClock,
minutes: renderTimeViewClock,
seconds: renderTimeViewClock,
},
},
},
},
});
Remove the keyboard view
The picker components no longer have a keyboard view to render the input inside the modal on mobile.
If your date is easier to edit with the keyboard (e.g: a birthdate), you can directly use the new field components:
function App() { return ( - <DatePicker /> + <DateField /> ) }
If you want to keep the old keyboard view, you can pass a custom
Layout
component slot to re-introduce the keyboard view.
✅ Rename or refactor shouldDisableTime
prop
The shouldDisableTime
prop signature has been changed.
Previously it did receive value
as a number
of hours, minutes, or seconds. Now it will receive the date object (based on the used adapter).
This will allow more powerful usage and will be compatible with the future digital time selection view.
Either rename the prop to the newly added, but deprecated shouldDisableClock
or refactor usage to account for the change in prop type.
The codemod will take care of renaming the prop to keep the existing functionality but feel free to update to the new shouldDisableTime
prop on your own.
// ℹ️ Rename and keep using the deprecated prop
// This is the change that the codemod will apply
<DateTimePicker
- shouldDisableTime={(timeValue, view) => view === 'hours' && timeValue < 12}
+ shouldDisableClock={(timeValue, view) => view === 'hours' && timeValue < 12}
/>
// ✅ Update your code to use the provided date value parameter instead of a number
<DateTimePicker
- shouldDisableTime={(timeValue, view) => view === 'hours' && timeValue < 12}
+ shouldDisableTime={(value, view) => view === 'hours' && value.hour() < 12}
/>
Change the DOM structure
The internal
CalendarOrClockPicker
component has been removed and all its element have been moved to the newLayout
component slot.The DOM node containing the toolbar and the view content (the
root
slot of theCalendarOrClockPicker
component) no longer exists. The closest equivalent is now thecontentWrapper
slot of thePickersLayout
component, which do not contain the toolbar. If you need a DOM node containing the toolbar and the view content, you will have to pass a customLayout
component slot.const theme = createTheme({ components: { - MuiCalendarOrClockPicker: { + MuiPickersLayout: { styleOverrides: { - root: { + contentWrapper: { backgroundColor: 'red', }, }, }, }, });
The internal
PickerStaticWrapper
component has been removed and all its element have been moved to the newLayout
component slot.const theme = createTheme({ components: { - MuiPickerStaticWrapper: { + MuiPickersLayout: { styleOverrides: { root: { opacity: 0.5, }, }, }, }, });
The DOM node containing the toolbar and the view content (the
content
slot of thePickerStaticWrapper
component) no longer exists. The closest equivalent is now thecontentWrapper
slot of thePickersLayout
component, which do not contain the toolbar. If you need a DOM node containing the toolbar and the view content, you will have to pass a customLayout
component slot.const theme = createTheme({ components: { - MuiPickerStaticWrapper: { + MuiPickersLayout: { styleOverrides: { - content: { + contentWrapper: { opacity: 0.5, }, }, }, }, });
Date library and adapters
✅ Do not import adapter from @date-io
In v5, it was possible to import adapters either from either @date-io
or @mui/x-date-pickers
which were the same.
In v6, the adapters are extended by @mui/x-date-pickers
to support fields components.
Which means adapters cannot be imported from @date-io
anymore. They need to be imported from @mui/x-date-pickers
or @mui/x-date-pickers-pro
.
Otherwise, some methods will be missing.
If you do not find the adapter you were using—there probably was a reason for it, but you can raise an issue expressing interest in it.
-import AdapterJalaali from '@date-io/jalaali';
+import { AdapterMomentJalaali } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/AdapterMomentJalaali';
Increase Luxon minimal version
The v6 AdapterLuxon
now requires luxon
version 3.0.2
or higher in order to work.
Take a look at the Upgrading Luxon guide if you are using an older version.
View components
✅ Rename components
The view components allowing to pick a time, a date or parts of a date without an input have been renamed to better fit their usage:
-<CalendarPicker {...props} />
+<DateCalendar {...props} />
-<DayPicker {...props} />
+<DayCalendar {...props} />
-<CalendarPickerSkeleton {...props} />
+<DayCalendarSkeleton {...props} />
-<MonthPicker {...props} />
+<MonthCalendar {...props} />
-<YearPicker {...props} />
+<YearCalendar {...props} />
-<ClockPicker {...props} />
+<TimeClock {...props} />
Component names in the theme have changed as well:
-MuiCalendarPicker: {
+MuiDateCalendar: {
-MuiDayPicker: {
+MuiDayCalendar: {
-MuiCalendarPickerSkeleton: {
+MuiDayCalendarSkeleton: {
-MuiMonthPicker: {
+MuiMonthCalendar: {
-MuiYearPicker: {
+MuiYearCalendar: {
-MuiClockPicker: {
+MuiTimeClock: {
✅ Rename date
prop to value
The date
prop has been renamed to value
on MonthCalendar
, YearCalendar
, TimeClock
, and DateCalendar
(components renamed in previous section):
-<MonthPicker date={dayjs()} />
+<MonthCalendar value={dayjs()} />
-<YearPicker date={dayjs()} />
+<YearCalendar value={dayjs()} />
-<ClockPicker date={dayjs()} />
+<TimeClock value={dayjs()} />
-<CalendarPicker date={dayjs()} />
+<DateCalendar value={dayjs()} />
Use the 12h/24h format from the locale as the default value of the ampm
prop on TimeClock
The default value of the ampm
prop changed from false
to utils.is12HourCycleInCurrentLocale()
.
It means that the TimeClock
component will use a 12h time format for locales where the time is usually displayed with a 12h format.
If you want to keep the previous behavior, you just have to set the ampm
prop to false
(components renamed in previous section):
- <ClockPicker />
+ <TimeClock ampm={false} />
Stop using the responsive classes on PickersMonth
and PickersYear
The modeMobile
and modeDesktop
classes have been removed from the PickersMonth
and PickersYear
internal components.
If you were using those classes on responsive components,
you can import DEFAULT_DESKTOP_MODE_MEDIA_QUERY
from @mui/x-date-pickers
or @mui/x-date-pickers-pro
(or use your custom media query if any):
<GlobalStyles
styles={{
- [`.${pickersYearClasses.modeDesktop}`]: {
- backgroundColor: 'red'
- }
+ [DEFAULT_DESKTOP_MODE_MEDIA_QUERY]: {
+ [`.${pickersYearClasses.root}`]: {
+ backgroundColor: 'red'
+ }
+ }
- [`.${pickersYearClasses.modeMobile}`]: {
- backgroundColor: 'red'
- }
+ [DEFAULT_DESKTOP_MODE_MEDIA_QUERY.replace('@media', '@media not')]: {
+ [`.${pickersYearClasses.root}`]: {
+ backgroundColor: 'red'
+ }
+ }
}}
/>
Localization
✅ Rename localization props
The props used to set the text displayed in the pickers have been replaced by keys inside the localeText
prop:
Removed prop | Property in the new localText prop |
---|---|
endText |
end |
getClockLabelText |
clockLabelText |
getHoursClockNumberText |
hoursClockNumberText |
getMinutesClockNumberText |
minutesClockNumberText |
getSecondsClockNumberText |
secondsClockNumberText |
getViewSwitchingButtonText |
calendarViewSwitchingButtonAriaLabel |
leftArrowButtonText |
openPreviousView (or previousMonth when the button changes the visible month) |
rightArrowButtonText |
openNextView (or nextMonth when the button changes the visible month) |
startText |
start |
getOpenDialogAriaText |
openDatePickerDialogue /(or openTimePickerDialogue for time pickers) |
For instance if you want to replace the startText
/ endText
<DateRangePicker
- startText="From"
- endText="To"
+ localeText={{
+ start: 'From',
+ end: 'To',
+ }}
/>
✅ Rename locale
prop on LocalizationProvider
The locale
prop of the LocalizationProvider
component have been renamed adapterLocale
:
<LocalizationProvider
dateAdapter={AdapterDayjs}
- locale="fr"
+ adapterLocale="fr"
>
{children}
</LocalizationProvider
Component slots / component slot props
All the props used to pass props to parts of the UI (e.g: pass a prop to the input) have been replaced by component slot props. All the props used to override parts of the UI (e.g: pass a custom day renderer) have been replaced by component slots.
You can find more information about this pattern in the Base UI documentation.
These changes apply to all the components that had the prop.
For example, the ToolbarComponent
has been replaced by a Toolbar
component slot on all pickers.
Input renderer (required in v5)
The
renderInput
has been replaced by aninput
component slot props:<DatePicker - renderInput={(inputProps) => <TextField {...props} variant="outlined" />} + slotProps={{ textField: { variant: 'outlined' } }} /> <DateRangePicker - renderInput={(startProps, endProps) => ( - <React.Fragment> - <TextField {...startProps} variant="outlined" /> - <Box sx={{ mx: 2 }}> - </Box> - <TextField {...endProps} variant="outlined" /> - </React.Fragment> - )} + slotProps={{ textField: { variant: 'outlined' } }} />
The Date Range Picker also have a new
fieldSeparator
component slot and component slot props to customize only this part of the UI:<DateRangePicker - renderInput={(startProps, endProps) => ( - <React.Fragment> - <TextField {...startProps} /> - <Box sx={{ mx: 2 }}> to </Box> - <TextField {...endProps} /> - </React.Fragment> - )} + slotProps={{ fieldSeparator: { children: 'to' } }} />
Toolbar (ToolbarComponent
)
✅ The
ToolbarComponent
has been replaced by atoolbar
component slot:<DatePicker - ToolbarComponent={MyToolbar} + slots={{ toolbar: MyToolbar }} />
✅ The
toolbarPlaceholder
,toolbarFormat
, andshowToolbar
props have been moved to thetoolbar
component slot props:<DatePicker - toolbarPlaceholder="__" - toolbarFormat="DD / MM / YYYY" - showToolbar + slotProps={{ + toolbar: { + toolbarPlaceholder: '__', + toolbarFormat: 'DD / MM / YYYY', + hidden: false, + } + }} />
✅ The
toolbarTitle
prop has been moved to the localization object:<DatePicker - toolbarTitle="Title" + localeText={{ toolbarTitle: 'Title' }} />
✅ The toolbar related translation keys have been renamed to better fit their usage:
<LocalizationProvider localeText={{ - datePickerDefaultToolbarTitle: 'Date Picker', + datePickerToolbarTitle: 'Date Picker', - timePickerDefaultToolbarTitle: 'Time Picker', + timePickerToolbarTitle: 'Time Picker', - dateTimePickerDefaultToolbarTitle: 'Date Time Picker', + dateTimePickerToolbarTitle: 'Date Time Picker', - dateRangePickerDefaultToolbarTitle: 'Date Range Picker', + dateRangePickerToolbarTitle: 'Date Range Picker', }} />
The
onChange
/openView
props on the toolbar have been renamed toonViewChange
/view
.const CustomToolbarComponent = props => ( <div> - <button onChange={() => props.onChange('day')}>Show day view</button> + <button onClick={() => props.onViewChange('day')}>Show day view</button> - <div>Current view: {props.openView}</div> + <div>Current view: {props.view}</div> </div> ) <DatePicker - ToolbarComponent={CustomToolbarComponent} + slots={{ + toolbar: CustomToolbarComponent + }} />
The
currentlySelectingRangeEnd
/setCurrentlySelectingRangeEnd
props on the Date Range Picker toolbar have been renamed torangePosition
/onRangePositionChange
.const CustomToolbarComponent = props => ( <div> - <button onChange={() => props.setCurrentlySelectingRangeEnd('end')}>Edit end date</button> + <button onClick={() => props.onRangePositionChange('end')}>Edit end date</button> - <div>Is editing end date: {props.currentlySelectingRangeEnd === 'end'}</div> + <div>Is editing end date: {props.rangePosition === 'end'}</div> </div> ) <DateRangePicker - ToolbarComponent={CustomToolbarComponent} + slots={{ + toolbar: CustomToolbarComponent + }} />
Tabs
✅ The
hideTabs
andtimeIcon
props have been moved totabs
component slot props. ThedateRangeIcon
prop has been renamed todateIcon
and moved totabs
component slot props:<DateTimePicker - hideTabs={false} - dateRangeIcon={<LightModeIcon />} - timeIcon={<AcUnitIcon />} + slotProps={{ + tabs: { + hidden: false, + dateIcon: <LightModeIcon />, + timeIcon: <AcUnitIcon />, + } + }} />
The
onChange
prop onDateTimePickerTabs
component has been renamed toonViewChange
to better fit its usage:<DateTimePickerTabs - onChange={() => {}} + onViewChange={() => {}} />
const CustomTabsComponent = props => ( <div> - <button onClick={() => props.onChange('day')}>Show day view</button> + <button onClick={() => props.onViewChange('day')}>Show day view</button> </div> ) <DateTimePicker slots={{ tabs: CustomTabsComponent }} />
Action bar
The
actions
prop of theactionBar
component slot can no longer receive a callback. Instead, you can pass a callback at the component slot props level<DatePicker - componentsProps={{ - actionBar: { - actions: (variant) => (variant === 'desktop' ? [] : ['clear']), - }, - }} + componentsProps={{ + actionBar: ({ wrapperVariant }) => ({ + actions: wrapperVariant === 'desktop' ? [] : ['clear'], + }), + }} // or using the new `slots` prop + slotProps={{ + actionBar: ({ wrapperVariant }) => ({ + actions: wrapperVariant === 'desktop' ? [] : ['clear'], + }), + }} />
Day (renderDay
)
The
renderDay
prop has been replaced by aday
component slot:<DatePicker - renderDay={(_, dayProps) => <CustomDay {...dayProps} />} + slots={{ day: CustomDay }} />
The
Day
component slot no longer receives aselectedDays
prop. If you need to access it, you can control the value and pass it to the component slot props:function CustomDay({ selectedDay, ...other }) { // do something with 'selectedDay' return <PickersDay {...other} />; } function App() { const [value, setValue] = React.useState(null); return ( <DatePicker value={value} onChange={(newValue) => setValue(newValue)} slots={{ day: CustomDay }} slotProps={{ day: { selectedDay: value }, }} /> ); }
✅ Popper (PopperProps
)
The
PopperProps
prop has been replaced by apopper
component slot props:<DatePicker - PopperProps={{ onClick: handleClick }} + slotProps={{ popper: { onClick: handleClick } }} />
✅ Desktop transition (TransitionComponent
)
The
TransitionComponent
prop has been replaced by adesktopTransition
component slot:<DatePicker - TransitionComponent={Fade} + slots={{ desktopTransition: Fade }} />
✅ Dialog (DialogProps
)
The
DialogProps
prop has been replaced by adialog
component slot props:<DatePicker - DialogProps={{ backgroundColor: 'red' }} + slotProps={{ dialog: { backgroundColor: 'red' }}} />
✅ Desktop paper (PaperProps
)
The
PaperProps
prop has been replaced by adesktopPaper
component slot props:<DatePicker - PaperProps={{ backgroundColor: 'red' }} + slotProps={{ desktopPaper: { backgroundColor: 'red' } }} />
✅ Desktop TrapFocus (TrapFocusProp
)
The
TrapFocusProps
prop has been replaced by adesktopTrapFocus
component slot props:<DatePicker - TrapFocusProps={{ isEnabled: () => false }} + slotProps={{ desktopTrapFocus: { isEnabled: () => false } }} />
Paper Content
The
PaperContent
/paperContent
component slot and component slot props have been removed.You can use the new
Layout
component slot. The main difference is that you now receive the various parts of the UI instead of a singlechildren
prop:+import { usePickerLayout } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/PickersLayout'; function MyCustomLayout(props) { - const { children } = props; - - return ( - <React.Fragment> - {children} - <div>Custom component</div> - </React.Fragment> - ); + const { toolbar, tabs, content, actionBar} = usePickerLayout(props); + + return ( + <PickersLayoutRoot> + {toolbar} + {content} + {actionBar} + <div>Custom component</div> + </PickersLayoutRoot> + ); } function App() { return ( <DatePicker - components={{ - PaperContent: MyCustomLayout, - }} + components={{ + Layout: MyCustomLayout, + }} // or using the new `slots` prop + slots={{ + layout: MyCustomLayout, + }} /> ); }
✅ Left arrow button
The component slot
LeftArrowButton
has been renamed toPreviousIconButton
:<DatePicker - components={{ - LeftArrowButton: CustomButton, - }} + components={{ + PreviousIconButton: CustomButton, + }} // or using the new `slots` prop + slots={{ + previousIconButton: CustomButton, + }} - componentsProps={{ - leftArrowButton: {}, - }} + componentsProps={{ + previousIconButton: {}, + }} // or using the new `slotProps` prop + slotProps={{ + previousIconButton: {}, + }} />
✅ Right arrow button
The component slot
RightArrowButton
has been renamed toNextIconButton
:<DatePicker - components={{ - RightArrowButton: CustomButton, - }} + components={{ + NextIconButton: CustomButton, + }} // or using the new `slots` prop + slots={{ + nextIconButton: CustomButton, + }} - componentsProps={{ - rightArrowButton: {}, - }} + componentsProps={{ + nextIconButton: {}, + }} // or using the new `slotProps` prop + slotProps={{ + nextIconButton: {}, + }} />
✅ Input
The
InputProps
prop has been removed. You can use theInputProps
of thetextField
component slot props instead:<DatePicker - InputProps={{ color: 'primary' }} + slotProps={{ textField: { InputProps: { color: 'primary' } } }} />
✅ Input adornment
The
InputAdornmentProps
prop has been replaced by aninputAdornment
component slot props:<DatePicker - InputAdornmentProps={{ position: 'start' }} + slotProps={{ inputAdornment: { position: 'start' } }} />
✅ Open Picker Button
The
OpenPickerButtonProps
prop has been replaced by anopenPickerButton
component slot props:<DatePicker - OpenPickerButtonProps={{ ref: buttonRef }} + slotProps={{ openPickerButton: { ref: buttonRef } }} />
Rename remaining private
components
The four components prefixed with Private
are now stable.
These components were renamed:
PrivatePickersMonth
->MuiPickersMonth
PrivatePickersSlideTransition
->MuiPickersSlideTransition
PrivatePickersToolbarText
->MuiPickersToolbarText
PrivatePickersYear
->MuiPickersYear
Manual style overriding will need to use updated classes:
-.PrivatePickersMonth-root {
+.MuiPickersMonth-root {
-.PrivatePickersSlideTransition-root {
+.MuiPickersSlideTransition-root {
-.PrivatePickersToolbarText-root {
+.MuiPickersToolbarText-root {
-.PrivatePickersYear-root {
+.MuiPickersYear-root {
Component name changes are also reflected in themeAugmentation
:
const theme = createTheme({
components: {
- PrivatePickersMonth: {
+ MuiPickersMonth: {
// overrides
},
- PrivatePickersSlideTransition: {
+ MuiPickersSlideTransition: {
// overrides
},
- PrivatePickersToolbarText: {
+ MuiPickersToolbarText: {
// overrides
},
- PrivatePickersYear: {
+ MuiPickersYear: {
// overrides
},
},
});
Behavior of field onChange
props
Since the masked input has been replaced by fields the input value is valid most of the time.
In v5, the user had to delete a character and type in another character to update the date resulting in onChange
being called twice.
Firstly with deleted character, and then with the complete date again.
In v6, user can override the field section, so onChange
is called at nearly every key pressed.
If you were relying on onChange
to send server requests, you might be interested in debouncing it to avoid sending too many requests.
To do so please refer to the corresponding docs example.
Rename components
to slots
(optional)
The components
and componentsProps
props are being renamed to slots
and slotProps
props respectively.
This is a slow and ongoing effort between all the different libraries maintained by MUI.
To smooth the transition, pickers support both the components
props which are deprecated, and the new slots
props.
If you would like to use the new API and do not want to see deprecated prop usage, consider running rename-components-to-slots
codemod handling the prop renaming.
