Upgrading from Vaadin 23

Tip
Upgrading from an earlier version
See the Vaadin 23 upgrading guides if you are upgrading from an earlier version.

This guide goes through the changes you need to make in your application when upgrading from Vaadin 23. After these changes, your application should compile, run, behave and look the way it did before.

Many of the breaking changes are needed because the fundamental changes in the Java platform and the major dependencies Vaadin relies on, including the following:

Servlet 6

Vaadin 24 is based on Servlet 6 specifications and is compatible with the Jakarta EE 10. Vaadin encapsulates the usage of the classes from javax / jakarta packages. Therefore, the application’s code doesn’t need to use servlets, directly. Nevertheless, this is needed in various cases, like accessing the cookies, setting servlet’s parameters, etc.

Spring Boot 3

Vaadin 24 uses the latest Spring Boot 3 and Spring Framework 6 versions. This leads in turn to making breaking changes in Spring-based features compared to earlier Spring-boot 2 and Spring Framework 5 versions.

Java 17

Vaadin 24 requires Java 17 or later. This is dictated by Spring framework and newer versions of application servers.

Overview

Vaadin 24 doesn’t fundamentally change how applications are developed and behave. Still, the upgrade process requires the following essential steps:

  • Upgrade Vaadin version in the project’s pom.xml, checking for the latest Vaadin 24 release in GitHub.

  • Convert package names to Jakarta EE 10 namespace.

  • For Spring-based applications, upgrade to Spring-boot 3 or Spring framework 6, depending on what is used in your project.

  • For non-Spring applications, upgrade the application server version to one compatible with Jakarta EE 10.

  • Upgrade third-party dependencies used in your project (such as, Maven/Gradle plugins, libraries, frameworks) to the Jakarta and Spring-compatible versions.

  • Check if your application is not using deprecated code fragments.

  • Make sure your application runs well on Java 17 runtime.

  • Make sure the front-end build works as it should with Vite, as webpack is no longer supported.

Limitations

Portlet and OSGi integrations are not included, for two reasons:

  • The latest Portlet 3 specification corresponds to Servlet 3, and it doesn’t work with Servlet 6.

  • Jakarta EE 10 compatible version of OSGi core runtime Apache Felix 8 is under development. Apache Karaf container is based on Apache Felix and doesn’t have a Jakarta compatible version.

Preparations

Upgrade the Vaadin version in pom.xml / build.gradle to the latest release like so:

<vaadin.version>24.0.1</vaadin.version>

See the list of releases in GitHub for the latest one.

Since a pre-release is used, you have to add the following repositories:

<repository>
    <id>vaadin-prereleases</id>
    <url>https://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases/</url>
</repository>

<pluginRepository>
    <id>vaadin-prereleases</id>
    <url>https://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases/</url>
</pluginRepository>

Jakarta EE 10 Namespaces

You can use the following free tools for the package name conversion:

When being applied to a project, those tools convert Java class imports, manifests, property files, and other resources to use jakarta.* namespace when needed. Conversion instructions are in each tool’s README file.

The last versions of IntelliJ IDEA offers migration refactoring tools, including a Java EE to Jakarta EE package converter.

Make sure that the Jakarta specifications in your project have the proper versions. Refer to the full list of Jakarta EE 10 specifications for more information.

Below are a few examples:

<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.annotation</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.annotation-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.enterprise</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.enterprise.cdi-api</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>jakarta.enterprise.concurrent</groupId>
    <artifactId>jakarta.enterprise.concurrent-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Spring Upgrade Instructions

Spring Boot 3 and Spring Framework 6 don’t fundamentally change how applications are developed. The main changes are around Jakarta EE 10 namespaces and supported products, Java version and the dependency upgrades and deprecations.

Spring Boot 3 / Framework 6 use new versions of third-party dependencies: Hibernate 6, Hibernate Validator 8, servlet containers - Jetty 11, Tomcat 10.1 and many others.

Spring provides the Dedicated Migration Guide for Spring-boot 3.0 and Upgrading to Spring Framework 6.x Guide.

To browse the full list of changes, see the Spring-boot 3.0 Release Notes and the What’s New in Spring Framework 6.x page.

Below is a general overview of the changes needed for Spring-based Vaadin applications:

  • Upgrade Spring to the Latest

    You need to upgrade Spring versions to the latest, including the starter parent dependency:

    <parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</parent>

  • Deprecation

    Deprecated VaadinWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter was removed since Spring no longer has WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class. Use instead VaadinWebSecurity base class for your security configuration. Below is an example of this:

    @EnableWebSecurity
@Configuration
public class SecurityConfig extends VaadinWebSecurity {

    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        // Delegating the responsibility of general configurations
        // of http security to the super class. It's configuring
        // the followings: Vaadin's CSRF protection by ignoring
        // framework's internal requests, default request cache,
        // ignoring public views annotated with @AnonymousAllowed,
        // restricting access to other views/endpoints, and enabling
        // ViewAccessChecker authorization.
        // You can add any possible extra configurations of your own
        // here (the following is just an example):

        // http.rememberMe().alwaysRemember(false);

        // Configure your static resources with public access before calling
        // super.configure(HttpSecurity) as it adds final anyRequest matcher
        http.authorizeHttpRequests().requestMatchers(
                        new AntPathRequestMatcher("/admin-only/**"))
                .hasAnyRole("admin");
        http.authorizeHttpRequests().requestMatchers(
                        new AntPathRequestMatcher("/public/**"))
                .permitAll();
        super.configure(http);

        // This is important to register your login view to the
        // view access checker mechanism:
        setLoginView(http, LoginView.class);
    }

    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        // Customize your WebSecurity configuration.
        super.configure(web);
    }

    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }

    /**
     * Demo UserDetailsManager which only provides two hardcoded
     * in memory users and their roles.
     * NOTE: This shouldn't be used in real world applications.
     */
    @Bean
    public UserDetailsService userDetailsService(
            PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder) {
        InMemoryUserDetailsManager manager = new InMemoryUserDetailsManager();
        manager.createUser(User.withUsername("user")
                .password(passwordEncoder.encode("userPass"))
                .roles("USER").build());
        manager.createUser(User.withUsername("admin")
                .password(passwordEncoder.encode("adminPass"))
                .roles("USER", "ADMIN").build());
        return manager;
    }
}

    In this example, AuthenticationManagerBuilder, used in Spring-boot 2.x, is replaced by UserDetailsService. And http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers() are replaced by http.authorizeHttpRequests().requestMatchers().

Java Version

Java 17 or later is required. Below is an example of how to use this version:

<properties>
    <java.version>17</java.version>
    <!-- OR: -->
    <maven.compiler.source>17</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>17</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

Application Servers

Before migrating, find the corresponding version of Jakarta EE 10-compatible application server used in your project. See Jakarta Compatible Products for more information.

CDI 4.0 specification, which is part of Jakarta EE 10, changes the default value of bean-discovery-mode attribute to annotated and uses annotated as the default when an empty beans.xml file is found in a deployment. See https://jakarta.ee/specifications/cdi/4.0/ for more information.

To let the container scan and manage Vaadin components and views when the bean-discovery-mode attribute is not defined and the default is used, one should annotate Vaadin components and views with the com.vaadin.cdi.annotation.CdiComponent annotation to allow Vaadin components to be detected correctly as CDI beans.

Or you can set bean-discovery-mode=all in the beans.xml if it’s applicable to your project. However, this is not recommended.

Polymer Templates

Polymer support has been deprecated since Vaadin 18 (released in November 2020), in favor of faster and simpler Lit templates. The built-in support for Polymer templates has been removed and is only available for Prime and Ultimate customers via an addon. However, a free conversion tool is also available to assist you in converting your Polymer templates to Lit.

Commercial Polymer Template Addon

If you are on a Prime or Ultimate subscription, you can continue to use Polymer templates by adding the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
    <artifactId>flow-polymer-template</artifactId>
</dependency>

Then you will need to update all imports of the PolymerTemplate class to the new coordinates: com.vaadin.flow.component.polymertemplate.PolymerTemplate.

Free Polymer to Lit Conversion Tool

You can use the free conversion tool to facilitate the migration from Polymer to Lit by automatically converting basic Polymer constructions into their Lit equivalents in Java and JavaScript source files.

Limitations

The converter covers only basic cases. More advanced cases, such as TypeScript source files or usage of internal Polymer API, should still be converted manually.

See the Polymer-to-Lit converter documentation for more information about limitations and supported transformations.

Usage

Regarding usage, run the converter in your project’s root folder as follows:

mvn vaadin:convert-polymer

To convert a project that is based on versions before Vaadin 24, use the following:

mvn com.vaadin:vaadin-maven-plugin:24.0.1:convert-polymer

Configuring

The converter accepts the following properties:

-Dvaadin.path=path/to/your/file

By default, the converter scans all files that match /.js and /.java and then tries to convert them to Lit.

To limit conversion to a specific file or directory, you can use the vaadin.path property like so:

mvn vaadin:convert-polymer -Dvaadin.path=path/to/your/file

The path is always relative to your project’s root folder.

-Dvaadin.useLit1

By default, the converter transforms Polymer imports into their Lit 2 equivalents.

If your project is using Lit 1 (i.e., before Vaadin 21), you can use the vaadin.useLit1 flag to enforce Lit 1 compatible imports:

mvn vaadin:convert-polymer -Dvaadin.useLit1
-Dvaadin.disableOptionalChaining

By default, the converter transforms [[prop.sub.something]] expressions into ${this.prop?.sub?.something}.

If your project is using the Vaadin webpack configuration, which doesn’t support the JavaScript optional chaining operator (?.), you can use the vaadin.disableOptionalChaining flag like so:

mvn vaadin:convert-polymer -Dvaadin.disableOptionalChaining

Multiplatform Runtime

Multiplatform Runtime allows the use of legacy Vaadin 7 or 8 framework components in Vaadin Flow applications. The Multiplatform Runtime artifacts remain the same: mpr-v8 and mpr-v7. However, the framework server dependencies now contain a mpr-jakarta postfix:

<!-- Vaadin 8 -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
    <artifactId>vaadin-server-mpr-jakarta</artifactId>
    <version>8.19.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
    <artifactId>vaadin-compatibility-server-mpr-jakarta</artifactId>
    <version>8.19.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Vaadin 7 -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
    <artifactId>vaadin-server-mpr-jakarta</artifactId>
    <version>7.7.37</version>
</dependency>

Other legacy framework dependencies have the same names, but transitive dependencies to vaadin-server artifacts must be detected and excluded. Consult Exclude Incompatible Framework 8 Dependency for further details.

Maven and Gradle Plugins

Ensure that the Maven plugins your project explicitly defines are compatible with Java 17. As an example, the nexus-staging-maven-plugin` requires a minimum version of 1.6.13.

Maven version 3.5 and later support Java 17, but avoid using 3.8.2 or 3.8.3 that break redeploy in Jetty.

To run Gradle on top of Java 17, you need to use version 7.5 or later. See the (Gradle release notes) for further details. If your project uses Spring Boot, upgrade the plugin org.springframework.boot to version 3.0.x.

If you’re using a Gradle wrapper, update it to version 7.5 by executing the following command in the terminal:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.5

You may need to update the sourceCompatibility setting in your project’s build file to version 17 for Java 17 compatibility. Check your project’s build file and make any necessary changes.

SLF4J 2.0

Vaadin 24 and Spring-boot 3 use SLF4J library version 2.0, which has breaking changes compared to earlier versions. See the SLF4J release notes for more information.

Breaking Changes in Vaadin Components

  • Badges no longer shrink by default; this can be overridden globally with CSS [theme~="badge"] { flex-shrink:1; }, or for specific instances with badge.getStyle().set("flex-shrink", "1"); or layout.setFlexShrink(badge, 1);

  • Buttons no longer shrink by default; this can be overridden globally with CSS vaadin-button { flex-shrink:1; }, or for specific instances with btn.getStyle().set("flex-shrink", "1"); or layout.setFlexShrink(btn, 1);

  • CheckboxGroup::setItemLabelGenerator no longer clears the current selection; CheckboxGroup.clear() can be used to clear value separately

  • BlurNotifier<CustomField> type signature was corrected to BlurNotifier<CustomField<T>>

  • Date Picker now uses the ISO 8601 date format (yyyy-mm-dd) as fallback for unsupported locales, instead of mm-dd-yyyy

  • Number Field’s default width now matches that of other text input components; the old default can be brought back with CSS vaadin-number-field { width:8em; }

  • Time Picker no longer automatically adjusts values to fit min/max constraints

  • RichTextEditor::setvalue and getValue now use HTML format by default, instead of Delta

    • Applications using the Delta format must be refactored to use the RichTextEditor.asDelta() API (e.g. rte.asDelta().getValue() and binder.forField(rte.asDelta()))

    • To help avoid using the wrong setter, RichTextEditor.setValue(String) now throws an exception if the value looks like Delta format (starts with [ or {)

    • To set an HTML value starting with the above characters, either wrap the value in an HTML tag, or use the RichTextEditor.asHtml() API that doesn’t check for them

  • The default top and bottom margins of the H1…​H6 HTML elements have been removed; this change can be reverted by applying the following CSS:

    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { margin-top: 1.25em; }
h1 { margin-bottom: 0.75em; }
h2, h3, h4 { margin-bottom: 0.5em; }
h5 { margin-bottom: 0.25em; }

Removed Flow Component APIs

The following Vaadin component APIs have been removed or renamed in Flow:

  • The Generated[ComponentName] classes have been removed. Extend the normal component classes instead when extending components.

    The following event classes were introduced in V23.3 as replacements for the ones in the generated classes: DatePicker.OpenedChangeEvent, DatePicker.InvalidChangeEvent, Dialog.OpenedChangeEvent, Notification.OpenedChangeEvent and SplitLayout.SplitterDragendEvent

    The generic type parameters in these events (introduced in V23.3 for backward compatibility) was removed in V24.

  • Button.setDisabled() removed in favor of setEnabled(false)

  • Charts HTMLLabels and HTMLLabelItem APIs removed (as broken) in favor of Configuration.addLabel or Configuration.setLabels (with AnnotationItemLabel objects instead of HTMLLabels; Coordinate information for the label can be provided using AnnotationItemLabel.setPoint)

  • Checkbox::setLabelAsHtml removed in favor of renderers (setRenderer)

  • CheckboxGroup and RadioButtonGroup no longer implement the HasComponents and HasItemComponents interfaces, and the following methods have been removed:

    • add(Component…​), add(Collection) and add(String)

    • remove(Component…​), remove(Collection) and removeAll()

    • addComponentAtIndex(int, Component)

    • addComponentAsFirst(Component)

    • addComponents(T, Component…​)

    • prependComponents(T, Component…​)

    • getItemPosition(T)

  • ContextMenu clickListener API removed (wasn’t working); apply click listeners to the menu’s target component instead if needed

  • CustomFieldI81n::parseValue and CustomFieldI18n::formatValue moved to CustomField::parseValue and CustomField::formatValue

  • DatePickerI18n setters and getters for clear, .calendar and .week removed as unused

  • FlexLayout.getFlexDirection(HasElement elementContainer) overload removed (as pointless) in favor of getFlexDirection()

  • Grid::setHeightByRows removed in favor of Grid::setAllRowsVisible

  • Grid.addColumn(renderer, sortingProperties) removed in favor of addColumn(renderer).setSortProperty(sortingProperties)

  • Grid.ItemClickEvent and ItemDoubleClickEvent without columnId were removed

  • Grid::findInShadowRoot removed

  • Grid::setVerticalScrollingEnabled removed (wasn’t working)

  • Map.Coordinate::fromLonLat removed as unnecessary since the default coordinate system is now EPSG:4326, and new Coordinate(x,y) is sufficient

  • Map APIs that used float values now use double

  • NumberField::setMaxLength, setPattern and setPreventInvalidInput removed as they didn’t work

  • NumberField::setHasControls renamed setStepButtonsVisible

  • RichTextEditor(String value) constructor removed in favor of RichTextEditor() followed by setValue(String value)

  • Select(T…​ items) constructor removed in favor of Select(String label, T…​ items)

  • SplitLayout.IronResizeEvent was removed as part of move away from Polymer

  • Tabs no longer implements the HasComponents interface and the following APIs were removed or deprecated:

    • add(Collection) removed in favor of add(Tab…​)

    • remove(Collection) removed in favor of remove(Tab…​)

    • add(String) removed

    • indexOf(Component) deprecated in favor of indexOf(Tab)

    • add(Component) deprecated in favor of add(Tab)

    • remove(Component) deprecated in favor of remove(Tab)

    • replace(Component, Component) deprecated in favor of replace(Tab, Tab)

    • getComponentAt(int) deprecated in favor of getTabAt(int)

    • addComponentAtIndex(int, Component) deprecated in favor of addTabAtIndex(int, Tab)

    • addComponentAsFirst(Component) deprecated in favor of addTabAsFirst(Tab)

  • TemplateRenderer public API removed in favor of LitRenderer

  • TextField::setPreventInvalidInput removed in favor of setAllowedCharPattern

  • TimePicker.setMin(String) and setMax(String) removed in favor of setMin(LocalTime) and setMax(LocalTime)

  • Upload SelectedChangeEvent(Tabs source, boolean fromClient) overload removed in favor of SelectedChangeEvent(Tabs source, Tab previousTab, boolean fromClient)

  • UploadI18n::setCancel/getCancel removed as unused

Web Component APIs

Click and read if you’re using Vaadin components without Flow

The following changes only affect the client-side APIs of Vaadin components:

  • The label on vaadin-checkbox and vaadin-radio-button must be set using the label property, as the default slot has been removed

  • vaadin-confirm-dialog.cancel and .reject properties renamed .cancelButtonVisible and .rejectButtonVisible

  • vaadin-number-field property has-controls renamed step-buttons-visible

  • Deprecated @vaadin/vaadin- (e.g. @vaadin/vaadin-grid) npm packages have been removed; use the new @vaadin/ instead (e.g. @vaadin/grid)

  • Deprecated **Element legacy class aliases (e.g. GridElement) have been removed; use the plain component classes instead (e.g. Grid)

  • Deprecated misspelled vaadin-icons removed: buss, funcion, megafone, palete, trendind-down

  • notifyResize and updateStyles methods removed from various components as obsolete

  • preventInvalidInput in text input fields removed in favor of setAllowedCharPattern

  • The read-only theme property was removed; use the theme attribute instead

Update Your Component Styling

Click and read if you have styled Vaadin components

The internal structure of many Vaadin components has been modified in order to improve accessibility and enable the new, simplified styling approach in Vaadin 24. These changes may affect custom CSS applied to the components.

When upgrading from Vaadin 23 (or earlier), you can choose to either stay on the old (Shadow DOM based) styling approach, and rewrite only those selectors that affect your application, or to refactor all your CSS to the new, simplified styling approach. Both methods can also be used in parallel, if desired.

The instructions below are based on the old approach, which is the faster route for upgrading. The new styling approach is described in the Styling section of the documentation.

Accordion

The summary (or header) of Accordion panels has been refactored into a separate custom element type, slotted into the panel component.

[part="summary"] {...}
::slotted(vaadin-accordion-heading) {...}

Parts that were previously inside vaadin-accordion-panel are now in vaadin-accordion-heading:

[part="toggle"] {...}
[part="toggle"] {...}

The summary-content part was renamed to content and is now in vaadin-accordion-heading:

[part="summary-content"] {...}
[part="content"] {...}

App Layout

The background of the drawer and navbar are now defined in the parts themselves, instead of in ::before pseudo-elements:

[part="navar"]::before {
    background: ...;
}
/* and */
[part="drawer"]::before {
    background: ...;
}
[part="navbar"] {
    background: ...;
}
/* and */
[part="drawer"] {
    background: ...;
}

The navbar now has a defined min-height. This change can be reverted with

[part="navbar"] {
    min-height: 0;
}

The drawer now renders a shadow when in overlay mode. It can be disabled with

:host([overlay]) [part="drawer"] {
    box-shadow: none;
}

Avatar Group

Individual Avatars in the Avatar Group have been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

[part="avatar"] {...}
::slotted(vaadin-avatar) {...}

Context Menu

The context menu’s items, vaadin-context-menu-item, no longer extend the vaadin-item element, and as such no longer inherit styling from it. The items can be styled separately by targeting vaadin-context-menu-item instead of vaadin-item.

Combo Box

Flow only: items rendered with a ComponentRenderer no longer render their contents wrapped into a <flow-component-renderer> element. This may affect the rendering of the contents, especially in terms of scaling, as they are now rendered directly into a <vaadin-combo-box-item>.

CRUD

The "new item" button has been moved from the CRUD’s shadow DOM to a slot, and the new-button attribute has been removed from it:

[new-button] {...}
/* or */
vaadin-button {...}
::slotted([slot="new-button"])

The Grid inside the non-Flow version of the CRUD component has been moved out of the CRUD’s shadow DOM to a slotted element.

Date Picker

The buttons in the Date Picker’s overlay have been moved from shadow DOM to slots:

[part="today-button"] {...}
/* and */
[part="cancel-button"] {...}
::slotted([slot="today-button"]) {...}
/* and */
::slotted([slot="cancel-button"]) {...}
/* or target both with */
::slotted(vaadin-button) {...}

The date cells in the calendar can have multiple part names to reflect their states, so the part attribute selector must use the ~= operator to match individual words:

[part="date"] {...}
[part~="date"] {...}

The state attributes for date cells have been replaced with part names:

[part="date"][disabled] {...}
[part="date"][focused] {...}
[part="date"][selected] {...}
[part="date"][today] {...}
[part~="date"][part~="disabled"] {...}
[part~="date"][part~="focused"] {...}
[part~="date"][part~="selected"] {...}
[part~="date"][part~="today"] {...}

Details

The summary (or header) part has been refactored into a separate custom element, slotted into the Details component:

[part="summary"] {...}
::slotted(vaadin-details-summary) {...}

The toggle part is now in the new vaadin-details-summary element:

[part="toggle"] {...}
[part="toggle"] {...}

The summary-content part is now in the vaadin-details-summary element, and renamed content:

[part="summary-content"] {...}
[part="content"] {...}

Dialog

Flow only: the contents of a Dialog are no longer rendered into a <div> inside a <flow-component-renderer> element. This may affect the rendering of the contents, especially in terms of scaling, as they are now rendered directly into a slot in the vaadin-notification-card root element. If desired, contents can be wrapped in a layout component, a Div, or any other container element with the desired sizing etc. (Note that, in a draggable Dialog, you need to add the draggable and draggable-leaf-only class names to these custom wrappers in order for them to work as drag handles.)

Grid

Flow only: inline editor components, and cell contents rendered with a ComponentRenderer, are no longer rendered wrapped into a <flow-component-renderer> element. This may affect the rendering of the contents, especially in terms of scaling, as they are now rendered directly into a slot in the vaadin-dialog-overlay web component.

Login

The "forgot password" button has been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

#forgotPasswordButton {...}
/* or */
vaadin-button[theme~="forgot-password"] {...}
/* or */
vaadin-button {...}
::slotted([slot="forgot-password"]) {...}

The menu-bar buttons (i.e. the top-level menu items) have been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

[part="menu-bar-button"] {...}
/* or */
vaadin-menu-bar-button {...}
::slotted(vaadin-menu-bar-button) {...}

The items in the Menu Bar drop-down menus are now vaadin-menu-bar-item instead of vaadin-context-menu-item and need to be styled separately from Context Menu items.

Message Input

The text area and button have been moved from shadow DOM to slots, and replaced with regular Text Area and Button instances:

vaadin-message-input-text-area {...}
/* and */
vaadin-message-input-button {...}
::slotted(vaadin-text-area) {...}
/* and */
::slotted(vaadin-button) {...}

Message List

The message elements in the list have been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

vaadin-message {...}
::slotted(vaadin-message) {...}

Avatars in messages have been moved to their own slots, and replaced with regular vaadin-avatar instances:

[part="avatar"] {...}
/* or */
vaadin-message-avatar {...}
::slotted(vaadin-avatar) {...}

Multi-Select Combo Box

The chip elements, as well as the overflow chip, have been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

vaadin-multi-select-combo-box-chip {...}
[part~="chip"] {...}
[part~="overflow"] {...}
[part~="overflow"][part~="overflow-one"] {...}
::slotted(vaadin-multi-select-combo-box-chip) {...}
::slotted([slot="chip"]) {...}
::slotted([slot="overflow"]) {...}
::slotted([slot="overflow"][count="1"]) {...}

Notification

Flow only: components placed into the Notification are now longer rendered into a <div> inside a <flow-component-renderer> element. This may affect the rendering of the contents, especially in terms of scaling, as they are now rendered directly into a slot in the vaadin-notification-card web component.

Upload

The file list has been refactored into its own vaadin-upload-file-list custom element, slotted into the Upload component:

[part="file-list"] {...}
::slotted(vaadin-upload-file-list) {...}

The upload button has been moved from shadow DOM to a slot:

[part="upload-button"] {...}
/* or*/
#uploadButton {...}
/* or */
vaadin-button {...}
::slotted(vaadin-button) {...}

The drop label and icon have been moved from shadow DOM to slots, and the icon is now a vaadin-upload-icon element:

#dropLabel {...}
/* and */
[part="drop-label-icon"] {...}
::slotted([slot="drop-label"]) {...}
/* and */
::slotted(vaadin-upload-icon) {...}

Removed Deprecations

APIs which were deprecated earlier have now been removed. The following linked issue lists the removals:
