Migrate from Blox Material v0.18.1 to v1.0.0

The material-components-web dependency has been upgraded to version 5.1.0. This upgrade includes substantial changes to many of the material components DOM-structure, and their styling via Sass. The Sass theming structure has chenged to use the new Sass module structure via @use instead of @import. More information can be found at Material Components Web Theming, and in the documentation for our components at Blox Material Components.

The remainder of this upgrade guide focuses on the new DOM-structure, and on changes in properties and action handlers that are introduced by the new material-components-web.

Button

No changes required

When adding a trailing mdcButtonIcon to the button, the label should be wrapped in an mdcButtonLabel directive:

<button mdcButton>
  <span mdcButtonLabel>Label</span>
  <i mdcButtonIcon class="material-icons">favorite</i>
</button>

Card

No changes required

Checkbox

No changes required

Chips

Chip DOM structure has changed

The mdcChipText should be wrapped in mdcChipCell + mdcChipPrimaryAction. Before:

<div mdcChip>
  <i mdcChipIcon class="material-icons">wb_sunny</i>
  <div mdcChipText>Turn lights on</div>
</div>

After:

<div mdcChip>
  <i mdcChipIcon class="material-icons">wb_sunny</i>
  <span mdcChipCell>
    <span mdcChipPrimaryAction>
      <div mdcChipText>Turn lights on</div>
    </span>
  </span>
</div>

An (optional) trailing icon for input chips should be wrapped in an mdcChipCell. Before:

<div mdcChip>
  <i mdcChipIcon class="material-icons">face</i>
  <div mdcChipText>Text</div>
  <i class="material-icons" mdcChipIcon>cancel</i>
</div>

After:

<div mdcChip>
  <i mdcChipIcon class="material-icons">face</i>
  <span mdcChipCell>
    <span mdcChipPrimaryAction>
      <div mdcChipText>Text</div>
    </span>
  </span>
  <span mdcChipCell>
    <i mdcChipIcon class="material-icons">cancel</i>
  </span>
</div>

Dialog

The mdcFocusTrap directive is not required anymore. An mdcDialog will automatically also have the focus trap directive attached.
The scrollable property from mdcDialogBody is dropped. Whether a dialog body must be scrollable is now automatically detected by the dialog based on the height of the dialog body.

The DOM structure has changed:

mdcDialogSurface must be wrapped in mdcDialogContainer.
mdcDialogHeader + mdcDialogHeaderTitle is replaced by mdcDialogTitle.
mdcDialogBody is replaced by mdcDialogContent.
mdcDialogFooter is replaced by mdcDialogActions.
mdcDialogCancel should be raplced by mdcDialogTrigger="close".
mdcDialogAccept should be replaced by mdcDialogTrigger="accept".
mdcDialogBackdrop should be replaced by mdcDialogScrim.

Before:

<aside mdcDialog mdcFocusTrap>
  <div mdcDialogSurface>
    <header mdcDialogHeader>
      <h2 mdcDialogHeaderTitle>Modal Dialog</h2>
    </header>
    <section mdcDialogBody scrollable>The dialog body</section>
    <footer mdcDialogFooter>
      <button mdcButton mdcDialogCancel>Decline</button>
      <button mdcButton mdcDialogAccept>Accept</button>
    </footer>
  </div>
  <div mdcDialogBackdrop></div>
</aside>

After:

<aside mdcDialog>
  <div mdcDialogContainer>
    <div mdcDialogSurface>
      <h2 mdcDialogTitle>Modal Dialog</h2>
      <section mdcDialogContent>The dialog body</section>
      <footer mdcDialogActions>
        <button mdcButton mdcDialogTrigger="close">Decline</button>
        <button mdcButton mdcDialogTrigger="accept" mdcDialogDefault>Accept</button>
      </footer>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div mdcDialogScrim></div>
</aside>

Drawer

The drawer types are now named: permanent, dismissible (was persistent), and modal (was temporary).

The DOM structure has changed:

mdcDrawerContainer is not wrapping mdcDrawer anymore, and its properties are moved to mdcDrawer (this only affects dismissible and modal drawers).
mdcDrawerToolbarSpacer does not exist anymore.
mdcDrawerHeaderContent is replaced by mdcDrawerTitle, and mdcDrawerSubtitle.
For modal drawers an mdcDrawerScrim should be added as a sibling element of the mdcDrawer.
For dismissible drawers it is recommended to apply the mdcDrawerAppContent directive to the sibling element next to the drawer so that open/close animations work correctly.

Before:

<aside [mdcDrawerContainer]="drawerType" [(open)]="open">
  <nav mdcDrawer>
    <div mdcDrawerToolbarSpacer></div>
    <div mdcDrawerHeader>
      <div mdcDrawerHeaderContent>Header</div>
    </div>
    <div mdcDrawerContent mdcListGroup>
      ...
    </div>
  </nav>
</aside>
<div>page content</div>

After:

<aside [mdcDrawer]="drawerType" [(open)]="open">
  <div mdcDrawerHeader>
    <h3 mdcDrawerTitle>Header</h3>
    <h6 mdcDrawerSubtitle>subtitle</h6>
  </div>
  <div mdcDrawerContent mdcListGroup>
    ...
  </div>
</aside>
<div mdcDrawerScrim *ngIf="drawerType === 'modal'"></div>
<div [mdcDrawerAppContent]="drawerType === 'dismissible'">page content</div>

Elevation

No changes required

Floating Action Button

The extended property is removed. A floating action button will automatically be extended when it contains an mdcFabLabel. Before:

<button mdcFab extended>
  <span mdcFabIcon class="material-icons">favorite</span>
  <span mdcFabLabel>Like</span>
</button>

After:

<button mdcFab>
  <span mdcFabIcon class="material-icons">favorite</span>
  <span mdcFabLabel>Like</span>
</button>

Focus Trap

A focus trap is now automatically applied to mdcDialog and modal mdcDrawer directives. So you should remove mdcFocusTrap from elements with those directives.
The escape key does not untrap an mdcFocusTrap anymore. Add your own handlers if untrapping on Escape key press is required. (Note that mdcDialog and mdcDrawer already have their own handlers for the Escape key, so handling Escape is only needed if you are implementing a raw mdcFocusTrap).
mdcFocusTrap does not block mouse interaction anymore. Add a scrim element to prevent mouse interactions outside the trap (for an example check out the demo at https://material.src.zone/components/focus-trap). Please note that mdcDialog and mdcDrawer already come with scrim elements.
Property untrapOnOutsideClick is not supported anymore. Please add your own click handler to the scrim mentioned in the previous bullet.
Property ignoreEscape is not supported anymore. See the previous comments about handling the Escape key.

Icon Button

No changes required for the non-toggling variant of mdcIconButton.

The DOM structure has changed for toggling mdcIconButton. The on/off icons are now child elements of mdcIconButton. Before:

<button mdcIconButton
  class="material-icons"
  labelOn="Remove from favorites"
  labelOff="Add to favorites"
  iconOn="favorite"
  iconOff="favorite_border"
  [(on)]="favorite"></button>

After:

<button mdcIconToggle
  labelOn="Remove from favorites"
  labelOff="Add to favorites"
  [(on)]="favorite">
  <i mdcIcon="on" class="material-icons">favorite</i>
  <i mdcIcon class="material-icons">favorite_border</i>
</button>

See https://material.src.zone/components/icon-button for more examples, including samples for SVG icons, and samples for icon fonts that use classnames instead of ligatures.

Icon toggle

mdcIconToggle is replaced by mdcIconButton. See above.

Linear Progress

No changes required

List

The activated property was removed. Use selected to enable either the activated, or the selected state. The mdcList will choose between the different selection modes (aria-current, aria-selected, aria-checked) depending on selectionMode and DOM-structure.
Not setting the nonInteractive property will now make the list fully interactive. Previously a list without nonInteractive set would only have stylings applied, but mouse and keyboard actions were not handled.
The DOM-structure of single-line-lists has changed. The text of each item should now be wrapped in mdcListItemText directives. Before:
```
<li mdcListItem>Wi-Fi</li>
```
After:
```
<li mdcListItem>
  <span mdcListItemText>Wi-Fi</span>
</li>
```

The DOM structure of two-line-lists has changed. The primary text of a list item should now be wrapped in mdcListItemPrimary directives. Before:

<li mdcListItem>
  <span mdcListItemText>
    Wi-Fi
    <span mdcListItemSecondaryText>Strong signal</span>
  </span>
</li>

After:

<li mdcListItem>
  <span mdcListItemText>
    <span mdcListItemPrimaryText>Wi-Fi</span>
    <span mdcListItemSecondaryText>Strong signal</span>
  </span>
</li>

It is recommended to open an mdcMenu through an mdcMenuTrigger directive. This takes care of following ARIA recommended practices for focusing the correct element, and maintaining proper aria-* and role attributes on the interaction element, menu, and list.
The cancel output has been removed. For detecting if the menu was closed without any menu choice selection, try to use afterClosed in combination with listening for pick.

The DOM-structure of menu items has changed. Before:

<li mdcListItem value="reload">Reload</li>

After:

<li mdcListItem value="reload">
  <span mdcListItemText>Reload</span>
</li>

Radio Button

No changes required

Ripple

No changes required

Select

The box and outlined property are gone. An mdcSelect will now display in the outlined variant when the mdcFloatingLabel is wrapped inside mdcNotchedOutline and mdcNotchedOutlineNotch directives. Otherwise the boxed variant will be used. You can change the styling at runtime, by changing the DOM-structure, as demonstrated in the Select Component Guide.
The mdcSelect does not wrap a native select input element anymore, but uses mdcSelectMenu and mdcList for the list of choices.
There is no need anymore to include an empty disabled option value for representing the no choice state.

For an outlined mdcSelect the changes are as follows. Before:

<div mdcSelect outlined>
  <select mdcSelectControl [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="disabled">
    <option value="" disabled selected></option>
    <option value="green">Green</option>
    <option value="orange">Orange</option>
    <option value="red">Red</option>
  </select>
  <label mdcFloatingLabel>Pick a Color</label>
</div>

After:

<div mdcSelect [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="disabled">
  <div mdcSelectAnchor>
    <div mdcSelectText>{{value}}</div>
    <span mdcNotchedOutline>
      <span mdcNotchedOutlineNotch>
        <span mdcFloatingLabel>Pick a Color</span>
      </span>
    </span>
  </div>
  <div mdcSelectMenu>
    <ul mdcList>
      <li mdcListItem value="green">Green</li>
      <li mdcListItem value="orange">Orange</li>
      <li mdcListItem value="red">Red</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

For a boxed mdcSelect the changes are as follows. Before:

<div mdcSelect box>
  <select mdcSelectControl [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="disabled">
    <option value="" disabled selected></option>
    <option value="green">Green</option>
    <option value="orange">Orange</option>
    <option value="red">Red</option>
  </select>
  <label mdcFloatingLabel>Pick a Color</label>
</div>

After:

<div mdcSelect [(ngModel)]="value" [disabled]="disabled">
  <div mdcSelectAnchor>
    <div mdcSelectText>{{value}}</div>
    <span mdcFloatingLabel>Pick a Color</span>
  </div>            
  <div mdcSelectMenu>
    <ul mdcList>
      <li mdcListItem value="green">Green</li>
      <li mdcListItem value="orange">Orange</li>
      <li mdcListItem value="red">Red</li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

Slider

No changes required

Snackbar

The MdcSnackbarService property startAligned property is replaced by a properyy with the name leading.
The MdcSnackbarService property dismissesOnAction was removed. Snackbars will always close when the action button is clicked.
The property multiline of MdcSnackbarMessage is replaced by a property with the name stacked.
The property actionOnBottom was removed. Set the stacked property when the action button must be shown below the text instead of adjacent to the text.
The default value for the timeout property of an MdcSnackbarMessage was changed from 2750ms to 5000ms.
The property (observer) afterShow of MdcSnackbarRef was replaced by property afterOpened.
The property (observer) afterHide of MdcSnackbarRef was replaced by property afterClosed.

Switch

The DOM-structure has changed. Before:

<div mdcSwitch>
  <input mdcSwitchInput type="checkbox"/>
</div>

After:

<div mdcSwitch>
  <div mdcSwitchThumb>
    <input mdcSwitchInput type="checkbox"/>
  </div>
</div>

Tabs

The old mdcTab* directives have been replaced by completely new mdcTab* directives, based on a new material components web component.
For details about the new components please check the Tab Directives Guide.
The mdcTabBarScroller* directives are removed. A scroller must now always be added by having an mdcTabScroller directive inside the mdcTabBar. (The old mdcTabBarScroller* directives were optional, and were wrapping the tab bar instead of being wrapped by it).
The mdcTabRouter directive is now implied by having an element that has both an mdcTab and a routerLink attribute. It is recommended to change mdcTabRouter to mdcTab (although mdcTabRouter is still supported for backward compatibility).

The most notable changes are documented with the following snippets. Before:

<nav mdcTabBar>
  <a mdcTab tabindex="0">Tab 1</a>
  <a mdcTab tabindex="0">Tab 2</a>
</nav>

After:

<nav mdcTabBar>
  <div mdcTabScroller>
    <div mdcTabScrollerArea>
      <div mdcTabScrollerContent>
        <a mdcTab>
          <span mdcTabContent>
            <span mdcTabLabel>Tab 1</span>
          </span>
          <span mdcTabIndicator><span mdcTabIndicatorContent></span></span>
        </a>
        <a mdcTab>
          <span mdcTabContent>
            <span mdcTabLabel>Tab 2</span>
          </span>
          <span mdcTabIndicator><span mdcTabIndicatorContent></span></span>
        </a>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

Text Field

The box and outlined property are gone. An mdcTextField will now display in the outlined variant when the mdcFloatingLabel is wrapped inside mdcNotchedOutline and mdcNotchedOutlineNotch directives. Otherwise the boxed variant will be used. You can change the styling at runtime, by changing the DOM-structure, as demonstrated in the Text Field Component Guide.
mdcTextFieldHelperText must now be wrapped inside an mdcTextFieldHelperLine directive.

For an outlined mdcTextField the changes are as follows. Before:

<div mdcTextField outlined [helperText]="helpertxt">
  <input mdcTextFieldInput type="text"/>
  <label mdcFloatingLabel>Input Label</label>
</div>
<p mdcTextFieldHelperText #helpertext="mdcHelperText">Help text</p>

After:

<label mdcTextField [helperText]="helpertext">
  <input mdcTextFieldInput type="text"/>
  <span mdcNotchedOutline>
    <span mdcNotchedOutlineNotch>
      <span mdcFloatingLabel>Input Label</span>
    </span>
  </span>
</label>
<div mdcTextFieldHelperLine>
  <p mdcTextFieldHelperText #helpertext="mdcHelperText">Help text</p>
</div>

For a boxed mdcTextField the changes are as follows. Before:

<div mdcTextField boxed [helperText]="helpertxt">
  <input mdcTextFieldInput type="text"/>
  <label mdcFloatingLabel>Input Label</label>
</div>
<p mdcTextFieldHelperText #helpertext="mdcHelperText">Help text</p>

After:

<label mdcTextField [helperText]="helpertext">
  <input mdcTextFieldInput type="text"/>
  <span mdcFloatingLabel>Input Label</span>
</label>
<div mdcTextFieldHelperLine>
  <p mdcTextFieldHelperText #helpertext="mdcHelperText">Help text</p>
</div>

Toolbar

mdcToolbar was replaced by mdcTopAppBar. Please see https://material.src.zone/components/top-app-bar for instructions and examples on using the mdcTopAppBar directive.

Utility

All documented utility directives have remained unchanged.
