CSS layers

Starting from 7.1.0 it is possible to import all @mantine/* packages styles with rules
defined in mantine CSS layer.
CSS rules within a layer are grouped together and applied before rules without a layer. This means that
even if you do not have control over styles import order, you can still override Mantine styles with
regular styles.

// If your styles are not wrapped in @layer directive,
// they will be applied after Mantine styles.
// Import order does not affect styles in this case
import classes from './Demo.module.css';
import '@mantine/core/styles.layer.css';

You can import styles within a layer by importing @mantine/*/styles.layer.css files.
Note that these files are a full replacement for @mantine/*/styles.css files –
you should not import both of them.

import '@mantine/core/styles.layer.css';
import '@mantine/dates/styles.layer.css';
// ... other styles

CSS layers are also useful if you want to combine Mantine components with other libraries which also
provide styles. You can use @layer directive to control the order of styles:

@layer base, mantine, components;

In this example, Mantine styles will take precedence over other library base styles, but other library
components styles will take precedence over Mantine component styles.

As of September 2023, CSS layers are supported in all modern browsers and have 90% browser support.

renderRoot prop

All polymorphic components now support renderRoot prop, which
is an alternative to component prop. renderRoot prop allows changing the root element
to any other component or HTML tag with a callback function. It can be used in cases when
component prop is not flexible enough:

• Target component props are incompatible with Mantine component. For example, Button component expects className
  to be a string, but react-router-dom NavLink expects
  className to be a function.
• Target component is a generic – it either accepts type as a parameter or its type changes depending
  on its props. Examples: typed Next.js Link, TanStack router Link

renderRoot example with react-router-dom NavLink:

import cx from 'clsx';
import { Button } from '@mantine/core';
import { NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Button
      renderRoot={({ className, ...others }) => (
        <NavLink
          className={({ isActive }) => cx(className, { 'active-class': isActive })}
          {...others}
        />
      )}
    >
      React router NavLink
    </Button>
  );
}

renderRoot example with typed Next.js Link:

import Link from 'next/link';
import { Button } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <Button renderRoot={(props) => <Link href="/hello" {...props} />}>
      Typed Next link button
    </Button>
  );
}

Improved ESM support

All @mantine/* packages now have improved ESM support:

• Files in esm folder now have .mjs extension
• You can use @mantine/* packages with type: module in package.json without any additional configuration
• All packages are now fully compatible with Remix v2
• Tree shaking was improved for some bundlers

CSS variables in style prop

It is now possible to define CSS variables in style prop in all Mantine components –
style prop is no longer restricted by React.CSSProperties type:

import { Box } from '@mantine/core';

function Demo() {
  return <Box style={{ '--radius': '0.5rem', borderRadius: 'var(--radius)' }} />;
}

form.setInitialValues

@mantine/form now supports form.setInitialValues method
which allows updating initial values after the form was initialized. This method is useful when you
want to update values that are used in form.reset and to compare values for dirty fields state:

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useForm } from '@mantine/form';

function Demo() {
  const form = useForm({
    initialValues: {
      name: '',
      email: '',
    },
  });

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/user')
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((data) => {
        // Update initial values after form was initialized
        // These values will be used in form.reset
        // and to compare values to get dirty state
        form.setInitialValues(data);
        form.setValues(data);
      });
  }, []);
}
