Upgrading from ADF v5.0 to v6.0

Upgrading from ADF v5.0 to v6.0

This guide explains how to upgrade your ADF v5.0 project to work with v6.0.

Do not skip this task, if you want your application to be updated to a most recent version of ADF. Upgrades of multiple versions of ADF cannot be done in one step only, but should follow the chain of sequential updates.

Note: the steps described below might involve making significant changes to your code. If you are working with a versioning system then you should commit any changes you are currently working on. If you aren't using versioning then be sure to make a backup copy of your project before going ahead with the upgrade.

Since 6.0 is a major version release, there are breaking changes you need to take into account as well as the usual library updates. After updating the libraries, check the other sections to see if any of the changes affect your project.

• Library updates
• Breaking changes

Library updates

1. Update the package.json file with the latest library versions:

   "dependencies": {
       ...
       "@alfresco/adf-core": "6.0.0",
       "@alfresco/adf-content-services": "6.0.0",
       "@alfresco/adf-process-services-cloud": "6.0.0",
       "@alfresco/adf-insights": "6.0.0",
       "@alfresco/js-api": "6.0.0",
       ...
   

2. Clean your old distribution and dependencies by deleting node_modules and package-lock.json.

3. Reinstall your dependencies

   npm install
   

Breaking changes

The ADF project follows the semver conventions and so we only make breaking changes (ie, not backward-compatible) in major versions. ADF 6.0 is the first major version since general availability so a number of deprecated items have been removed and also some existing items have been renamed. The sections below explain how to adapt your project to the changes in 6.0. See also our For more information about the changes and links to the associated pull requests.
