Migration from v5 to v6

This guide describes the changes needed to migrate the Data Grid from v5 to v6.

Start using the alpha release

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

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

Using next ensures that it will always use the latest v6 alpha release, but you can also use a fixed version, like 6.0.0-alpha.0.

Breaking changes

Since v6 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 v5 to v6.

Renamed props

• To avoid confusion with the props that will be added for the cell selection feature, some props related to row selection were renamed to have "row" in their name. The renamed props are the following:

  Old name	New name
  selectionModel	rowSelectionModel
  onSelectionModelChange	onRowSelectionModelChange
  disableSelectionOnClick	disableRowSelectionOnClick
  disableMultipleSelection	disableMultipleRowSelection

State access

• The gridSelectionStateSelector selector was renamed to gridRowSelectionStateSelector.

Events

• The selectionChange event was renamed to rowSelectionChange.

Removed props

• The disableIgnoreModificationsIfProcessingProps prop was removed and its behavior when true was incorporated as the default behavior. The old behavior can be restored by using apiRef.current.stopRowEditMode({ ignoreModifications: true }) or apiRef.current.stopCellEditMode({ ignoreModifications: true }).
