Migration guide to version v6

Updating AdminJS to v6

To update AdminJS package to the sixth wersion please use following npm command

npm install adminjs

This should update the version of adminjs and adminjs-design-system packages to newest beta versions.

If you have adminjs-design-system in your dependencies you should update it accordingly.

Changes

:warning: React upgrade to v18.1.0+

If you don't have react as a dependency in your project you won't have to do anything 😉

AdminJS now uses react and react-dom in v18.1.0+ as a dependency. Hence if you're using react outside of AdminJS, please upgrade it to the matching version. Instructions on how to do it are available here

Additionally, we upgraded the styled-components package to v5.3.5, which works well with react v18.

:warning: Rebranding

Branding option softwareBrothers is now not supported and replaced with withMadeWithLove which shows a tiny heart icon on the bottom sidebar and login page.

⚠️ New RichText input library

Due to security and support issues, richText implementation has changed from Quill to TipTap. Therefore, in AdminJS v6, all quill-related configurations will no longer be valid.

:white_check_mark: Phone and currency inputs

AdminJS gained two new input types. To use phone and currency inputs, use them as a type in your resource option.

Example of use

const TransactionResource: ResourceWithOptions = {
  resource: Transaction,
  options: {
    properties: {
      price: {
        type: 'currency',
      },
      phone: {
        type: 'phone',
      },
    },
    navigation: {
      name: 'App',
      icon: 'Settings',
    }
  }
};

:white_check_mark: Select component available in `adminjs-design-system`

The select component was extracted from the core package to adminjs-design-system. You no longer need to implement such a component on your own.
