Migrating from 1.8.5 to 2.3.2

[amd-9]

Is there any guide on migrating from 1.8.5 to 2.3.2?

[ckifer]

I don't think there is currently but this would be a good thing to have. We can maybe add a minimal guide here and move it from here to the website

From 1.8.5 to 2.0.0:

• Recharts has been refactored to TypeScript - you may run into random typing issues. Fix properties that the compiler complains about and update to the correct type.
• Drop support for React < 16

Looking at the changelog its really really hard to spot breaking changes as they aren't called out at all. The upgrade to 2.0 was mostly to use TypeScript. Type issues will probably be the biggest thing you run into.

From 2.0.0 to 2.3.2:
All changes here in minor and patch versions are supposed to be non-breaking, but some things have been merged that are breaking over time.

Items to watch out for:

• Tooltip tab index and pie chart tab index issue (adds border on tooltip, makes the tooltip auto-focus)
• Tooltip formatter types broken with TValue

Best bet is to upgrade yourself and then document what you need to do here. Sorry my answer this isn't better than this 😅 . Please please document any upgrades here! Thanks

I'm migrating now and have a question.
Sometimes I want to use Recharts's (internal?) types like Coordinate.
IDE suggests importing them from modules such as 'recharts/types/util/types'.
Are they exported intentionally, and won't change frequently?
Or, should we avoid importing them?

[ckifer]

Our tenants will be to not introduce breaking changes (including with types) without a new major version. I'd stay as top-level as you can recharts/types or the types exported at recharts - but we'll try not to move things around randomly.

[seiyab]

Thank you for your response. I'd avoid relying types that is not exposed at top-level.

Just for information to who are planning to migrate to v2.
V2 has #2176.
We are stopping migration because of this.

[ckifer]

Can you create an updated code sandbox that recreates that issue?

Here it is.

I also pasted screenshot at the issue comment #2176 (comment).
