Upgrading Unpoly

Unpoly will occasionally rename or remove an existing function, event or HTML attribute.

To re-enable old APIs, load the file unpoly-migrate.js that ships with Unpoly 2 or higher:

Development	Production
unpoly-migrate.js	unpoly-migrate.min.js	4.3 KB gzipped

By loading unpoly-migrate.js, calls to most old APIs will be forwarded to the new version. A deprecation notice will be logged to your browser console. This way you can upgrade Unpoly, revive your application with a few changes, then replace deprecated API calls under green tests.

Installing unpoly-migrate.js

unpoly-migrate.js must be loaded after Unpoly, but before your own code. For example:

<script src="unpoly.js">
<script src="unpoly-migrate.js">
<script src="app.js">
  

What unpoly-migrate.js does

Renamed functions are aliased

Calls to deprecated functions will be forwarded if there is an equivalent function in the current version.

E.g. up.modal.close() will call up.layer.dismiss().

Renamed options are aliased

Usage of deprecated options will be rewritten if there is an equivalent option in the current version.

E.g. { reveal: false } will be renamed to { scroll: false }.

Renamed packages are aliased

Usage of deprecated pcakages will be rewritten if there is an equivalent packages in the current version.

E.g. up.proxy.config will return up.network.config.

Occasionally a package will be removed

Renamed HTML attributes are aliased

E.g. <a up-close> will translate to <a up-dismiss>

Renamed events are aliased

E.g. up.on('up:proxy:load') will bind to up:request:load.

Note that event aliases are only used when registering listeners with up.on(), but not with the native Element#addEventListener().
