Version 2.4.2

v2.4.2

Minor Changes#

React 2.4.2#

• Add ChakraBaseProvider, a minimal version of ChakraProvider that supplies just the theme tokens, and ignores components.

  Historically, one of the biggest causes of the large initial JS payload is the size of the component themes. With this approach, you get to apply the theme for just the component you need by using extendBaseTheme.

  Base theme refers to the minimal theme for just the design tokens

  import { ChakraBaseProvider, extendBaseTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'
  import { Button } from '@chakra-ui/theme/components'
  
  const theme = extendBaseTheme({
    components: {
      Button,
    },
  })
  
  function App() {
    return (
      <ChakraBaseProvider theme={theme}>
        <Component {...pageProps} />
      </ChakraBaseProvider>
    )
  }

Styled System 2.4.0#

• Add support for textIndent style prop

CLI 2.2.0#

• Add the flag --strict-token-types for @chakra-ui/cli tokens to generate strict types for theme tokens (e.g. color, spacing)

  chakra-cli tokens --strict-token-types

  copy

  // before
  <Box padding="abc" />
  // valid type, but "abc" is not available in the theme
  
  // after
  <Box padding="abc" /> // invalid
  // Type '"abc"' is not assignable to type '"1" | "2" | ... | undefined'.

Menu 2.1.5#

• Added support for setting the initially focused menu programmatically using initialFocusRef.

  const Example = () => {
    const itemRef = useRef(null)
    return (
      <Menu initialFocusRef={itemRef}>
        <MenuButton>Welcome</MenuButton>
        <MenuList>
          <MenuItem>Menu 1</MenuItem>
          <MenuItem ref={itemRef}>Menu 2</MenuItem>
          <MenuItem>Menu 3</MenuItem>
        </MenuList>
      </Menu>
    )
  }

  copy

Button 2.0.13#

• Added support for orientation prop in the ButtonGroup component.

  This makes it possible to now have vertical button groups when isAttached is set to true.

  <ButtonGroup isAttached orientation='vertical'>
    <Button>Button 1</Button>
    <Button>Button 2</Button>
    <Button>Button 3</Button>
    <Button>Button 4</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>

  copy

Icon 3.0.13#

• Added support for styling the Icon component from the theme object.

  const theme = extendTheme({
    components: {
      Icon: {
        width: 'auto',
      },
    },
  })
