v1.0.0-beta.7

Aug 30, 2017

This release is particularly dense! Here are some highlights:

• We release 4 breaking changes at the same time.
  This is a first for the project.
  We wanted to release them as soon as possible, while the v1-beta market share is still at 10% of the v0.x version.
  Hopefully, the frequency of the breaking changes will slow down.
• @rosskevin has upgraded the Flow dependency. v0.53 is providing a much better typing integration with React.
• The Drawer component has some new features.
  One of them is allowing the documentation to fully take advantage of the server side rendering.
  We expect the documentation to render even faster with this beta.

Big thanks to the 12 contributors who made this release possible.

Breaking changes

• [theme] Use secondary wording over accent (#7906) @oliviertassinari

     const theme = createMuiTheme({
-      palette: createPalette({ primary: deepOrange, accent: green }),
+      palette: createPalette({ primary: deepOrange, secondary: green }),
     });

   flatAccent: {
-    color: theme.palette.accent.A200,
+    color: theme.palette.secondary.A200,

• [Drawer] New improvements (#7925) @oliviertassinari

-<Drawer docked />
+<Drawer type="persistent" />

• [theme] Simplification of the API (#7934) @oliviertassinari

  • If you are using a direct import of material-ui/styles/theme, the path changed:

  -import createMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/theme';
  +import createMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/createMuiTheme';

  • We have removed the intermediary functions, now you can provide a nested structure to override the generated theme structure inside the first argument of createMuiTheme(). Notice that you can still change the output object before providing it to the <MuiThemeProvider />.

   const theme = createMuiTheme({
  -  palette: createPalette({
  +  palette: {
       primary: blue,
       secondary: pink,
     }),
  -  typography: createTypography(palette, {
  +  typography: {
       // System font
       fontFamily:
         '-apple-system,system-ui,BlinkMacSystemFont,' +
         '"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif',
  -  }),
  +  },
  -},
  +});

• [Input] Better support required field (#7955) @oliviertassinari

Following Bootstrap, we are now forwarding the required property down to the input component. We used to only apply aria-required. This move makes us less opinionated and should help with native form handling.

If you want to avoid the default browser required property handling, you can add a noValidate property to the parent form.
