Upgrade preparations

Topic: Upgrade preparations

itay pro asked 5 years ago

Hi, As I read the change logs, I see that there are some several major issues that I need to address in my code, yet from the text, it is not clear what should I do so I ask for more info:

Ver 6.3.0 Select - resolved problems with label styling. For the label to work correctly, we encourage you to add it via [label] input instead of HTML tag. What should I do exactly ?
Ver 7.3.0 - Changing from 4 to 5 is not backward compatible, so we recommend updating the application to Font Awesome 5. What should I do exactly ?
We also updated Bootstrap to the newest version (4.2.1) – What does it mean ?
In Ver 6.2.6 - Resolved problem with 'ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError' in mdb-select filter input. Yet I still get that error when clicking an component
Ver 7.2.0 - We encourage you to use mdb-auto-completer. What are the differences and why should I change ?
Ver 7.1.0 - The mdbInputDirective directive has been divided into mdbInput and mdbValidate directives. When will mdbInputDirective not work any more ?

My current ver is 7.2.0

Thanks, Itay

Dear Itay,

Let me answer your questions in order which have you asked them:

1) If you want to use the label in your select component, please use the <code>[label]</code> property instead of creating the label as standalone HTML tag <code><label></code>.

2) You have to remove the old <code>font-awesome</code> library, and install the FA5 library called <code>@fortawesome/fontawesome-free</code>.

Also you have to change the imports in <code>angular.json</code> file:

<pre class="prettyprint"><code>"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome.scss",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid.scss",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular.scss",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands.scss",
</code></pre>

3) It means, that in 7.4.0 version of MDB Angular we're using the Bootstrap 4.2.1.

4) Could you please provide me with more information about this problem?

5) The old <code>mdb-autocomplete</code> component was bugged. There were problems with checking the changes dynamically. The new <code>mdb-auto-completer</code> is much better because there you can define your own template.

6) The <code>mdbInputDirective</code> will be removed from the code in MDB Angular 8 (few weeks after releasing the Angular 8).
