# Migrating from Angular 17 to Angular 18
This guide describes how to migrate ADF from Angular version 17 to version 18. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition.
## 1. Update changed dependencies
Update the following packages in your `package.json`:
### dependencies
```json
{
"@angular/animations": "18.2.13",
"@angular/cdk": "18.2.14",
"@angular/common": "18.2.13",
"@angular/compiler": "18.2.13",
"@angular/core": "18.2.13",
"@angular/forms": "18.2.13",
"@angular/material": "18.2.14",
"@angular/material-date-fns-adapter": "18.2.14",
"@angular/platform-browser": "18.2.13",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "18.2.13",
"@angular/router": "18.2.13",
"@apollo/client": "3.13.1",
"@mat-datetimepicker/core": "14.0.0",
"apollo-angular": "10.0.3",
"minimatch-browser": "1.0.0",
"node-fetch": "^3.3.2",
"zone.js": "0.14.10"
}
```
### devDependencies
```json
{
"@angular-devkit/architect": "0.1802.13",
"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "18.2.14",
"@angular-devkit/core": "18.2.13",
"@angular-devkit/schematics": "18.2.13",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "18.2.13",
"@nx/angular": "19.2.0",
"@nx/js": "18.3.5",
"@nx/workspace": "18.3.5",
"@storybook/angular": "8.4.7",
"ng-packagr": "18.2.1",
"npm-run-all": "^4.1.5",
"postcss": "8.4.41",
"postcss-sass": "^0.5.0",
"tsconfig-paths": "^4.1.1",
"typescript": "5.5.4",
"webpack-cli": "^5.1.4"
}
```
## 2. Material mixins update
Angular Material 18 introduced Material 3 mixins as new default. As we are still using Material 2, we need to ensure that we are still using the Material 2 version.
In order to use Material 2 mixins, you need to add a `m2-` prefix to the mixins in your stylesheets. For example:
```scss
mat.define-typography-config()
mat.get-color-from-palette()
```
should be changed to:
```scss
mat.m2-define-typography-config()
mat.m2-get-color-from-palette()
```
## 3. Fixing CI/CD issues
After running the migration script, you may need to manually fix some issues. Run common build targets to identify any problems.
```bash
npx nx run-many --target=build --skip-nx-cache
```
If blocked by linting issues, disable the linting rules in the affected files. You can re-enable them in the next step.
### Lint jobs
After getting the build to work, run the lint jobs. Re-enable previously disabled linting rules and fix any issues that arise.
```bash
npx nx run-many --target=lint --skip-nx-cache
```
### Unit tests
Run the unit tests and fix any problems that arise.
```bash
npx nx run-many --target=test --skip-nx-cache
```
## 4. Review Angular 18 breaking changes
Angular 18 is a minor update with no major breaking changes for most projects. However, always review the [Angular 18 changelog](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) and [official update guide](https://angular.dev/update-guide?v=17.0-18.0).
