Migration from v6 to v7

This guide describes the changes needed to migrate the Data Grid from v6 to v7.

Start using the new release

In package.json, change the version of the data grid package to next.

-"@mui/x-data-grid": "6.x.x",
+"@mui/x-data-grid": "next",

Since v7 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 v6 to v7.

Update `@mui/material` package

To have the option of using the latest API from @mui/material, the package peer dependency version has been updated to ^5.15.0. It is a change in minor version only, so it should not cause any breaking changes. Please update your @mui/material package to this or a newer version.

Run codemods

The preset-safe codemod will automatically adjust the bulk of your code to account for breaking changes in v7. You can run v7.0.0/data-grid/preset-safe targeting only Data Grid or v7.0.0/preset-safe to target other MUI X components like Date and Time pickers as well.

You can either run it on a specific file, folder, or your entire codebase when choosing the <path> argument.

// Data Grid specific
npx @mui/x-codemod@next v7.0.0/data-grid/preset-safe <path>
// Target other MUI X components as well
npx @mui/x-codemod@next v7.0.0/preset-safe <path>

Breaking changes that are handled by preset-safe codemod are denoted by a ✅ emoji in the table of contents on the right side of the screen or next to the specific point that is handled by it.

If you have already applied the v7.0.0/data-grid/preset-safe (or v7.0.0/preset-safe) codemod, then you should not need to take any further action on these items. If there's a specific part of the breaking change that is not part of the codemod or needs some manual work, it will be listed in the end of each section.

All other changes must be handled manually.

Not all use cases are covered by codemods. In some scenarios, like props spreading, cross-file dependencies, etc., the changes are not properly identified and therefore must be handled manually.

For example, if a codemod tries to rename a prop, but this prop is hidden with the spread operator, it won't be transformed as expected.

<DataGrid {...newProps} />

After running the codemods, make sure to test your application and that you don't have any console errors.

Feel free to open an issue for support if you need help to proceed with your migration.

Breaking changes

Since v7 is a major release, it contains some changes that affect the public API. These changes were done for consistency, improve stability and make room for new features. Below are described the steps you need to make to migrate from v6 to v7.

DOM changes

The layout of the grid has been substantially altered to use CSS sticky positioned elements. As a result, the following changes have been made:

The main element now corresponds to the virtal scroller element.
Headers are now contained in the virtual scroller.
Pinned row and column sections are now contained in the virtual scroller.

Removed props

The deprecated props components and componentsProps have been removed. Use slots and slotProps instead. See components section for more details.
The slots.preferencesPanel slot and the slotProps.preferencesPanel prop were removed. Use slots.panel and slotProps.panel instead.

The getOptionValue and getOptionLabel props were removed from the following components:

GridEditSingleSelectCell
GridFilterInputSingleSelect
GridFilterInputMultipleSingleSelect

Use the getOptionValue and getOptionLabel properties on the singleSelect column definition instead:

const column: GridColDef = {
  type: 'singleSelect',
  field: 'country',
  valueOptions: [
    { code: 'BR', name: 'Brazil' },
    { code: 'FR', name: 'France' },
  ],
  getOptionValue: (value: any) => value.code,
  getOptionLabel: (value: any) => value.name,
};

Behavioral changes

The disabled column specific features like hiding, sorting, filtering, pinning, row grouping, etc could now be controlled programmatically using initialState, respective controlled models, or the API object.

Here's the list of affected features, colDef flags and props to disable them and the related props and API methods to control them programmatically.

State access

Some selectors now require passing instanceId as a second argument:
```
- gridColumnFieldsSelector(apiRef.current.state);
+ gridColumnFieldsSelector(apiRef.current.state, apiRef.current.instanceId);
```
However, it's preferable to pass the apiRef as the first argument instead:
```
gridColumnFieldsSelector(apiRef);
```
See Direct state access for more info.

Columns

The GridColDef['type'] has been narrowed down to only accept the built-in column types. TypeScript users need to use the GridColDef interface when defining columns:

// 🛑 `type` is inferred as `string` and is too wide
const columns = [{ type: 'number', field: 'id' }];
<DataGrid columns={columns} />;

// ✅ `type` is `'number'`
const columns: GridColDef[] = [{ type: 'number', field: 'id' }];
<DataGrid columns={columns} />;

// ✅ Alternalively, `as const` can be used to narrow down the type
const columns = [{ type: 'number' as const, field: 'id' }];
<DataGrid columns={columns} />;

The type GridPinnedColumns has been renamed to GridPinnedColumnFields.
The type GridPinnedPosition has been renamed to GridPinnedColumnPosition.
Column grouping is now enabled by default. The flag columnGrouping is no longer needed to be passed to the experimentalFeatures prop to enable it.
The column grouping API methods getColumnGroupPath and getAllGroupDetails are not anymore prefixed with unstable_.
The column grouping selectors gridFocusColumnGroupHeaderSelector and gridTabIndexColumnGroupHeaderSelector are not anymore prefixed with unstable_.
The columns management component has been redesigned and the component is extracted from the ColumnsPanel which now only serves as a wrapper to display the component over the headers as a panel. As a result, a new slot columnsManagement, and corresponding prop slotProps.columnsManagement have been introduced. The props corresponding to the columns management component which were previously passed to the prop slotProps.columnsPanel should now be passed to slotProps.columnsManagement. slotProps.columnsPanel could still be used to override props corresponding to the Panel component used in ColumnsPanel which uses Popper component under the hood.

 <DataGrid
  slotProps={{
-   columnsPanel: {
+   columnsManagement: {
      sort: 'asc',
      autoFocusSearchField: false,
    },
  }}
 />

Show all and Hide all buttons in the ColumnsPanel have been combined into one Show/Hide All checkbox in the new columns management component. The related props disableShowAllButton and disableHideAllButton have been replaced with a new prop disableShowHideToggle.

Clipboard

Clipboard paste is now enabled by default. The flag clipboardPaste is no longer needed to be passed to the experimentalFeatures prop to enable it.
The clipboard related exports ignoreValueFormatterDuringExport and splitClipboardPastedText are not anymore prefixed with unstable_.

Print export

The print export will now only print the selected rows if there are any. If there are no selected rows, it will print all rows. This makes the print export consistent with the other exports. You can customize the rows to export by using the getRowsToExport function.

Selection

✅ The unstable_ prefix has been removed from the cell selection props listed below.

Old name New name

unstable_cellSelection cellSelection

unstable_cellSelectionModel cellSelectionModel

unstable_onCellSelectionModelChange onCellSelectionModelChange

Old name	New name
`unstable_cellSelection`	`cellSelection`
`unstable_cellSelectionModel`	`cellSelectionModel`
`unstable_onCellSelectionModelChange`	`onCellSelectionModelChange`

The unstable_ prefix has been removed from the cell selection API methods listed below.

Old name	New name
`unstable_getCellSelectionModel`	`getCellSelectionModel`
`unstable_getSelectedCellsAsArray`	`getSelectedCellsAsArray`
`unstable_isCellSelected`	`isCellSelected`
`unstable_selectCellRange`	`selectCellRange`
`unstable_setCellSelectionModel`	`setCellSelectionModel`

Filtering

The getApplyFilterFnV7 in GridFilterOperator was renamed to getApplyFilterFn. If you use getApplyFilterFnV7 directly - rename it to getApplyFilterFn.
The signature of the function returned by getApplyFilterFn has changed for performance reasons:

 const getApplyFilterFn: GetApplyFilterFn<any, unknown> = (filterItem) => {
   if (!filterItem.value) {
     return null;
   }

   const filterRegex = new RegExp(escapeRegExp(filterItem.value), 'i');
-  return (cellParams) => {
-    const { value } = cellParams;
+  return (value, row, colDef, apiRef) => {
     return value != null ? filterRegex.test(String(value)) : false;
   };
 }

The getApplyQuickFilterFnV7 in GridColDef was renamed to getApplyQuickFilterFn. If you use getApplyQuickFilterFnV7 directly - rename it to getApplyQuickFilterFn.
The signature of the function returned by getApplyQuickFilterFn has changed for performance reasons:

 const getGridStringQuickFilterFn: GetApplyQuickFilterFn<any, unknown> = (value) => {
   if (!value) {
     return null;
   }
   const filterRegex = new RegExp(escapeRegExp(value), 'i');
-  return (cellParams) => {
-    const { formattedValue } = cellParams;
+  return (value, row, column, apiRef) => {
+    let formattedValue = apiRef.current.getRowFormattedValue(row, column);
     return formattedValue != null ? filterRegex.test(formattedValue.toString()) : false;
   };
 };

The Quick Filter now ignores hidden columns by default. See Including hidden columns section for more details.

The header filters feature is now stable. unstable_ prefix is removed from prop headerFilters and the following exports.

Old name	New name
`unstable_gridFocusColumnHeaderFilterSelector`	`gridFocusColumnHeaderFilterSelector`
`unstable_gridHeaderFilteringEditFieldSelector`	`gridHeaderFilteringEditFieldSelector`
`unstable_gridHeaderFilteringMenuSelector`	`gridHeaderFilteringMenuSelector`
`unstable_gridHeaderFilteringStateSelector`	`gridHeaderFilteringStateSelector`
`unstable_gridTabIndexColumnHeaderFilterSelector`	`gridTabIndexColumnHeaderFilterSelector`

The filter panel no longer uses the native version of the Select component for all components.
The filterModel now supports Date objects as values for date and dateTime column types. The filterModel still accepts strings as values for date and dateTime column types, but all updates to the filterModel coming from the UI (e.g. filter panel) will set the value as a Date object.

Accessibility

The ariaV7 experimental flag has been removed and the Data Grid now uses the improved accessibility implementation by default. If you were using the ariaV7 flag, you can remove it from the experimentalFeatures prop:
```
-<DataGrid experimentalFeatures={{ ariaV7: true }} />
+<DataGrid />
```
The most notable changes that might affect your application or tests are:
- The role="grid" attribute along with related ARIA attributes are now applied to the inner div element instead of the root div element:
```
-<div class="MuiDataGrid-root" role="grid" aria-colcount="5" aria-rowcount="101" aria-multiselectable="false">
+<div class="MuiDataGrid-root">
   <div class="MuiDataGrid-toolbarContainer"></div>
-    <div class="MuiDataGrid-main"></div>
+    <div class="MuiDataGrid-main" role="grid" aria-colcount="5" aria-rowcount="101" aria-multiselectable="false"></div>
   <div class="MuiDataGrid-footerContainer"></div>
 </div>
```
- When Tree data feature is used, the grid role is now role="treegrid" instead of role="grid".
- The Data Grid cells now have role="gridcell" instead of role="cell".

Other exports

The import path for locales has been changed:

-import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid';
+import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid/locales';

-import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid-pro';
+import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid-pro/locales';

-import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid-premium';
+import { enUS } from '@mui/x-data-grid-premium/locales';

The deprecated constants SUBMIT_FILTER_STROKE_TIME and SUBMIT_FILTER_DATE_STROKE_TIME are no longer exported. Use the filterDebounceMs prop to customize filter debounce time.
The GridPreferencesPanel component is not exported anymore as it wasn't meant to be used outside of the Data Grid.
The buttons in toolbar composable components GridToolbarColumnsButton, GridToolbarFilterButton, GridToolbarDensity, and GridToolbarExport are now wrapped with a tooltip component and have a consistent interface. In order to override some props corresponding to the toolbar buttons or their corresponding tooltips, you can use the slotProps prop. Following is an example diff. See Toolbar section for more details.

 function CustomToolbar() {
  return (
    <GridToolbarContainer>
      <GridToolbarColumnsButton />
      <GridToolbarFilterButton
-       title="Custom filter" // 🛑 This was previously forwarded to the tooltip component
+       slotProps={{ tooltip: { title: 'Custom filter' } }} // ✅ This is the correct way now
      />
      <GridToolbarDensitySelector
-       variant="outlined"    // 🛑 This was previously forwarded to the button component
+       slotProps={{ button: { variant: 'outlined' } }} // ✅ This is the correct way now
      />
    </GridToolbarContainer>
  );
 }

CSS classes

Some CSS classes were removed or renamed

| MUI X v6 classes | MUI X v7 classes | Note | | :------------------------------------------ | :--------------- | :--------------------- | --- | | .Mui-hovered | :hover | For rows | | .MuiDataGrid--pinnedColumns-(left\|right) | Removed | Not applicable anymore | --> |

Changes to the public API

The method getRootDimensions() now returns a non-null value.
The field mainElementRef is now always non-null.
The field rootElementRef is now always non-null.
The field virtualScrollerRef is now always non-null.
The event renderedRowsIntervalChange params changed from GridRenderedRowsIntervalChangeParams to GridRenderContext, and the former has been removed.

Changes to slots

The slot columnHeaders has had these props removed: columnPositions, densityFactor, minColumnIndex.
The slot row has had these props removed: containerWidth, position.
The slot row has typed props now.
The slot headerFilterCell has had these props removed: filterOperators.
All slots are now strongly typed, previously were React.JSXElementConstructor<any>.
