Migration Guide for Templates

This guide covers updating templates up to version 3.x, PrimeVue v4 will have a new theming system.

Migration an application template to a newer version of PrimeVue requires updating the PrimeVue version and the designer folder to align the theme.

1) PrimeVue Version

Open package.json and update the PrimeVue dependency.

"primevue": "x.y.z"

2) SASS Theme

Visit the primevue-sass-theme and download the release that matches the PrimeVue version. Extract the contents of the bundle copy the theme-base folder, and update the theme-base folder at /public/layout/styles/theme/theme-base with the new content. The final structure should be like the following;

• /public/layout/styles/theme/theme-base
  • _colors.scss
  • _common.scss _ _components.scss
  • _mixins.scss _ components

3) Compile SASS

Final step is compiling the SASS to generate CSS. Install SASS if you do not have sass at command line.

sass --update src/main/webapp/resources:src/main/webapp/resources

If you receive compilation errors, it may be due to missing SASS variables. In this case add the missing variables and compile again.
