Version 12 to 13

This migration guide contains migration instructions for:

Note

Potential breaking changes ahead: this update might require a lot of changes, as Frontend libs is being simplified, and some parts extracted into Eightshift UI components.

Expected duration:

  • ~4h for basic replacements and checks
  • ~10-20h for complete replacements and checks (recommended)

Exact time will depend on number of blocks/components and how complex they are.

Helpers​

Removed helpers​

Some helpers were deprecated and removed, without a replacement. If they were used in the project before, you can take the source of the helper from Frontend libs 12 and include it in your project.

These helpers were removed:

  • getNavigatorVibrate
  • escapeString
  • elementChildrenHeight
  • device

Helpers moved to ES UI components​

Import these helpers from @eightshift/ui-components/utilities instead of Frontend libs:

  • truncate
  • truncateMiddle
  • unescapeHTML
  • camelCase
  • pascalCase
  • snakeCase
  • kebabCase
  • isEmpty
  • lowerFirst
  • upperFirst
  • has
  • isPlainObject
  • isObject
  • isEqual
  • debounce
  • throttle

Helpers with new names​

These helpers should be imported from @eightshift/ui-components/utilities instead of Frontend libs:

  • camelize → camelCase
  • classnames → clsx
  • ucfirst → upperFirst

Classnames​

❌

classnames([
	'class-1',
	'class-2',
	'class-3',
])

✅

clsx(
	'class-1',
	'class-2',
	'class-3',
)

If you're using selector and have the condition argument the same as the block argument, you can omit the condition and replace selector with bem.

❌

clsx(
	selector(blockClass, blockClass, 'something'),
	...
)

✅

clsx(
	bem(blockClass, 'something'),
	...
)

(bem comes from Frontend libs)

If you have a condition set, you can move it outside of the function call.

❌

clsx(
	selector(myCondition, blockClass, 'something'),
	...
)

✅

clsx(
	myCondition && bem(blockClass, 'something'),
	...
)

(bem comes from Frontend libs)

If there's a selector with the same 2 arguments, omit the function.

❌

clsx(
	selector(blockClass, blockClass),
	...
)

✅

clsx(
	blockClass,
	...
)

If you have only one entry within classnames/clsx, just keep that entry.

❌

clsx(
	classnames([bem(blockClass, selectorClass)]),
	...
)

✅

clsx(
	bem(blockClass, selectorClass),
	...
)

Icons​

Import these from @eightshift/ui-components/icons instead of Frontend libs:

  • icons
  • illustrations
  • blockIcons
  • BlockIcon

Additionally, if you used dangerouslySetInnerHTML for rendering SVGs, you can now use the JsxSvg component to render it more safely and elegantly.

<JsxSvg svg="<svg ..." />

Styles​

Utility classes​

Frontend libs utility classes are deprecated and will be removed in the next version.

Remove them from your code if possible, and check if some of them can be replaced with ones from ES UI components (they have the es- prefix).

CSS reset​

The default CSS reset was updated. Do a quick look-around on your site to see if anything is different, but nothing major is expected.

SCSS​

Some SCSS functionalities were removed from Frontend libs.

If you were using them, you can re-define them in your project. The previous implementation can be checked in Frontend libs v12 source.

Placeholders​

Removed placeholders:

  • %absolute-center
  • %bg-image
  • %clearfix
  • %site-padding
  • %site-padding-correction
  • %link-transition
  • %heading-reset
  • %paragraph-reset
  • %dl-reset

Functions​

Removed functions:

  • calc-column-width / calcCW
  • calc-dynamic-size / calcDS
  • calc-grid-width / calcGW
  • line-height / lh
  • em

Keyframes​

Keyframes were removed from Frontend libs

Mixins​

Removed mixins:

  • flex-container
  • box-sizing (replace with box-sizing, if no arguments were specified, the default is border-box)
  • column-offset-modifiers
  • flex-column-width-modifiers
  • flex-column-width
  • flex-grid-width-modifiers
  • flex-grid-width
  • flex-horizontal-align-modifiers
  • flex-vertical-align-modifiers
  • text-align-modifiers
  • stretch
  • placeholder
  • inline-font-colors
  • grid-offset-modifiers
  • font-smoothing
  • custom-bullets
  • link-modifiers
  • link
  • modifiers-deep
  • modifiers-range
  • modifiers
  • responsive-modifiers
  • responsive-selectors-visibility
  • responsive-selectors
  • responsive
  • for-each-attribute
  • es-eases

Component styles, editor overrides, ...​

The previously included Gutenberg component style overrides are not included by default anymore. overrides-editor.scss is still present, but only a couple of styles are left for compatibility reasons. Instead, you can @import '~@eightshift/ui-components/dist/assets/wp-ui-enhancements.css'; from Eightshift UI components.

es-component-styles.scss (in Frontend libs) are not bundled with overrides-editor.scss anymore, and should be imported separately if needed.

Replace components​

This will take some time, but the guide below should make it easier. Our recommendation is to go block by block (instead of replacing one type of UI component at a time).

Note

Some components will still have fallbacks not to break everything immediately, but replacing them is strongly recommended, as everything will be removed in the next version.
