backstage/packages/ui/CHANGELOG.md

@backstage/ui

0.14.0-next.2

Minor Changes

• b4a1875: BREAKING: Tab href values in the Header component are now resolved through the router context instead of being passed raw to the <a> tag. This means relative href values (e.g. sub3, ./sub4, ../catalog) are now resolved against the current route, and absolute href values may be affected by the router's basename configuration.

  Migration:

  Tab navigation should work the same for absolute href values in most setups. If you use relative href values in tabs, verify they resolve as expected. If your app configures a router basename, check that absolute tab href values still navigate correctly.

  Affected components: Header

Patch Changes

• 4032ad7: Added new Badge component for non-interactive labeling and categorization of content. It shares the visual appearance of Tag but renders as a plain DOM element with no interactive states.

  Affected components: Badge

• b4a1875: Added automatic active tab detection to the Header component. When activeTabId is omitted, the active tab is now auto-detected from the current route using matchRoutes. Pass an explicit activeTabId to override, or null for no active tab.

  Affected components: Header

• aa47a37: Add an initial CheckboxGroup component implementation and docs coverage.

• 386972f: Fixed the Tabs active indicator not hiding when no tab matches the current route.

  Affected components: Tabs

0.14.0-next.1

Patch Changes

• 2e5c5f8: Bumped glob dependency from v7/v8/v11 to v13 to address security vulnerabilities in older versions. Bumped rollup from v4.27 to v4.59+ to fix a high severity path traversal vulnerability (GHSA-mw96-cpmx-2vgc).

• 8d79835: Added RangeSlider component for selecting numeric ranges.

  Affected components: RangeSlider

• 5081bcc: Fixed Avatar becoming elliptical in flex layouts by preventing it from shrinking.

  Affected components: Avatar

• d840ba9: Fixed relative href resolution for BUI link components. Relative paths like ../other are now correctly turned into absolute paths before reaching the React Aria layer, ensuring client-side navigation goes to the right place.

  Affected components: ButtonLink, Card, CellProfile, CellText, Link, ListRow, MenuItem, MenuListBoxItem, Row, SearchAutocompleteItem, Tab, Tag

• 3bc23a5: Added support for disabling pagination in useTable complete mode by setting paginationOptions: { type: 'none' }. This skips data slicing and produces pagination: { type: 'none' } in tableProps, removing the need for consumers to manually override the pagination prop on Table. Also fixed complete mode not reacting to dynamic changes in paginationOptions.pageSize.

  Affected components: useTable

• c368cf3: Updated dependency @types/use-sync-external-store to ^1.0.0.

• d0f055f: Added showPaginationLabel prop to TablePagination and useTable pagination options. When set to false, the pagination label (e.g., "1 - 20 of 150") is hidden while navigation controls remain visible. Defaults to true.

  Affected components: TablePagination, useTable

• feaf3d1: Fixed HeaderNav hover indicator covering tab text when theme uses opaque background colors. Also fixed an incorrect CSS variable reference (--bui-font-family → --bui-font-regular).

  Affected components: Header

0.14.0-next.0

Minor Changes

• 8659f33: BREAKING: The Header component's tabs prop now uses HeaderNavTabItem[] instead of HeaderTab[]. Tabs render as a <nav> element with links and optional dropdown menus instead of role="tablist". A new activeTabId prop controls which tab is highlighted.

  Migration:

  - import { Header, type HeaderTab } from '@backstage/ui';
  + import { Header, type HeaderNavTabItem } from '@backstage/ui';
  
    // Tabs no longer support matchStrategy — active state is controlled via activeTabId
  - const tabs: HeaderTab[] = [
  -   { id: 'overview', label: 'Overview', href: '/overview', matchStrategy: 'prefix' },
  + const tabs: HeaderNavTabItem[] = [
  +   { id: 'overview', label: 'Overview', href: '/overview' },
    ];
  
  - <Header title="My Page" tabs={tabs} />
  + <Header title="My Page" tabs={tabs} activeTabId="overview" />
  

  Affected components: Header

• bed3307: BREAKING: Dropped support for React 17. The minimum supported React version is now 18.

• 49ffe8a: BREAKING: Removed the toolbarWrapper element from PluginHeader and dropped toolbarWrapper from PluginHeaderDefinition.classNames. Toolbar layout styles now live on toolbar (.bui-PluginHeaderToolbar).

  Migration: Update custom CSS that targeted .bui-PluginHeaderToolbarWrapper to use .bui-PluginHeaderToolbar instead.

  Affected components: PluginHeader

Patch Changes

• bcbb6eb: Made SearchAutocomplete background-aware. The input now adapts its background color based on its parent container's background level.

  Affected components: SearchAutocomplete

• 8c2e24e: Added aria-hidden to the PluginHeader icon to prevent screen readers from announcing decorative plugin icons.

  Affected components: PluginHeader

• 3d67aeb: Added prefers-reduced-motion support to Tab indicator animations. Users with reduced motion preferences will no longer see sliding transitions on the active and hover indicators.

  Affected components: Tabs

• cc4a682: Fixed the ButtonIcon's loading spinner animation

  Affected components: ButtonIcon

• adcdd2f: Simplified the Menu component's item structure by removing the inner wrapper element and applying styles directly to the menu item, improving DOM clarity.

  Affected components: Menu

• 0257ada: Added react-aria, react-stately, @react-aria/interactions, @react-stately/layout, and @react-stately/overlays as dependencies.

• Updated dependencies

  • @backstage/version-bridge@1.0.12

0.13.0

Minor Changes

• 768f09d: BREAKING: Simplified the neutral background prop API for container components. The explicit neutral-1, neutral-2, neutral-3, and neutral-auto values have been removed from ProviderBg. They are replaced by a single 'neutral' value that always auto-increments from the parent context, making it impossible to skip or pin to an explicit neutral level.

  Migration:

  Replace any explicit bg="neutral-1", bg="neutral-2", bg="neutral-3", or bg="neutral-auto" props with bg="neutral". To achieve a specific neutral level in stories or tests, use nested containers — each additional bg="neutral" wrapper increments by one level.

  // Before
  <Box bg="neutral-2">...</Box>
  
  // After
  <Box bg="neutral">
    <Box bg="neutral">...</Box>
  </Box>
  

  Affected components: Box, Flex, Grid, Card, Accordion, Popover, Tooltip, Dialog, Menu

• b42fcdc: BREAKING: Removed --bui-bg-popover CSS token. Popover, Tooltip, Menu, and Dialog now use --bui-bg-app for their outer shell and Box bg="neutral-1" for content areas, providing better theme consistency and eliminating a redundant token.

  Migration:

  Replace any usage of --bui-bg-popover with --bui-bg-neutral-1 (for content surfaces) or --bui-bg-app (for outer shells):

  - background: var(--bui-bg-popover);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-1);
  

  Affected components: Popover, Tooltip, Menu, Dialog

• bd3a76e: BREAKING: Data attributes rendered by components are now always lowercase. This affects CSS selectors targeting camelCase data attributes.

  Migration:

  Update any custom CSS selectors that target camelCase data attributes to use lowercase instead:

  - [data-startCollapsed='true'] { ... }
  + [data-startcollapsed='true'] { ... }
  

  Affected components: SearchField

• 95702ab: BREAKING: Removed deprecated types ComponentDefinition, ClassNamesMap, DataAttributeValues, and DataAttributesMap from the public API. These were internal styling infrastructure types that have been replaced by the defineComponent system.

  Migration:

  Remove any direct usage of these types. Component definitions now use defineComponent() and their shapes are not part of the public API contract.

  - import type { ComponentDefinition, ClassNamesMap } from '@backstage/ui';
  

  If you were reading definition.dataAttributes, use definition.propDefs instead — props with dataAttribute: true in propDefs are the equivalent.

• 42f8c9b: BREAKING: Centralized client-side routing in BUIProvider. Components like Link, ButtonLink, Tabs, Menu, TagGroup, and Table now require a BUIProvider rendered inside a React Router context for client-side navigation to work.

  Migration:

  This change requires updating @backstage/plugin-app and @backstage/core-app-api alongside @backstage/ui. If you only upgrade @backstage/ui, BUI components will fall back to full-page navigation.

  If you cannot upgrade all packages together, or if you have a custom app shell, add a BUIProvider inside your Router:

  + import { BUIProvider } from '@backstage/ui';
  
    <BrowserRouter>
  +   <BUIProvider>
        <AppContent />
  +   </BUIProvider>
    </BrowserRouter>
  

  Affected components: Link, ButtonLink, Tabs, Menu, TagGroup, Table

• 17d6398: BREAKING: Renamed internal CSS classes to match the Header component name.

  Migration:: If you are targeting these classes directly in your styles, update the following:

  • bui-HeaderPage → bui-Header
  • bui-HeaderPageContent → bui-HeaderContent
  • bui-HeaderPageBreadcrumbs → bui-HeaderBreadcrumbs
  • bui-HeaderPageTabsWrapper → bui-HeaderTabsWrapper
  • bui-HeaderPageControls → bui-HeaderControls

  Affected components:: Header

• 9d5f3ba: Removed redundant selected and indeterminate props from the Checkbox component. Use the isSelected and isIndeterminate props instead, which are the standard React Aria props and already handle both the checkbox behaviour and the corresponding CSS data attributes.

  Migration: Replace any usage of the selected and indeterminate props on Checkbox with the isSelected and isIndeterminate props. Note that the checked state and related CSS data attributes (such as data-selected and data-indeterminate) are now driven by React Aria, so any custom logic that previously inspected or set these via the old props should instead rely on the React Aria-managed state and attributes exposed through the new props.

  Affected components: Checkbox

Patch Changes

• 04d9d8d: Added List and ListRow components. These provide a standalone, accessible list of interactive rows built on top of React Aria's GridList and GridListItem primitives. Rows support icons, descriptions, actions, menus, and single or multiple selection modes.

  Affected components: List, ListRow

• a1f4bee: Made Accordion a bg provider so nested components like Button auto-increment their background level. Updated useDefinition to resolve bg propDef defaults for provider components.

• db92751: Added interactive support to the Card component. Pass onPress to make the entire card surface pressable, or href to make it navigate to a URL. A transparent overlay handles the interaction while nested buttons and links remain independently clickable.

• 12d8afe: Added analytics capabilities to the component library. Components with navigation behavior (Link, ButtonLink, Tab, MenuItem, Tag, Row) now fire analytics events on click when a BUIProvider is present.

  New exports: BUIProvider, useAnalytics, getNodeText, and associated types (AnalyticsTracker, UseAnalyticsFn, BUIProviderProps, AnalyticsEventAttributes).

  Components with analytics support now accept a noTrack prop to suppress event firing.

  Affected components: Link, ButtonLink, Tab, MenuItem, Tag, Row

• b838cc9: Added a loading prop and data-loading data attribute to TableRoot, allowing consumers to distinguish between stale data and initial loading states. Both stale and loading set aria-busy on the table.

  Affected components: TableRoot

• 690786f: Improved the Table component loading state to show a skeleton UI with visible headers instead of plain "Loading..." text. The table now renders its full structure during loading, with animated skeleton rows in place of data. The loading state includes proper accessibility support with aria-busy on the table and screen reader announcements.

  Affected components: Table

• 58224d3: Fixed neutral-1 hover & pressed state in light mode.

• 95702ab: Migrated all components from useStyles to useDefinition hook. Exported OwnProps types for each component, enabling better type composition for consumers.

  Affected components: Avatar, Checkbox, Container, Dialog, FieldError, FieldLabel, Flex, FullPage, Grid, HeaderPage, Link, Menu, PasswordField, PluginHeader, Popover, RadioGroup, SearchField, Select, Skeleton, Switch, Table, TablePagination, Tabs, TagGroup, Text, TextField, ToggleButton, ToggleButtonGroup, Tooltip, VisuallyHidden

• 430d5ed: Fixed interactive cards so that CardBody can scroll when the card has a constrained height. Previously, the overlay element blocked scroll events.

  Affected components: Card

• 4c2c350: Removed the transition on Container padding to prevent an unwanted animation when the viewport is resized.

  Affected components: Container

• e0b7eb0: Fixed --bui-fg-success token in light mode to be more accessible.

• ad7c883: Deprecated the HeaderPage component name in favor of Header. The old HeaderPage, HeaderPageProps, HeaderPageOwnProps, HeaderPageBreadcrumb, and HeaderPageDefinition exports are still available as deprecated aliases.

• 0ebde15: Added documentation for the table cell wrapper requirement to TSDoc comments for Cell, CellText, CellProfile, ColumnConfig, and RowRenderFn.

• d9d2dd6: Added SearchAutocomplete and SearchAutocompleteItem components for building accessible search-with-results patterns. Built on React Aria's Autocomplete with keyboard navigation and screen reader support. Designed for async/external search results with a configurable popover width.

  Affected components: SearchAutocomplete, SearchAutocompleteItem

• a6b84e1: Made Checkbox children optional and added a dev warning when neither a visible label, aria-label, nor aria-labelledby is provided. The label wrapper div is no longer rendered when there are no children, removing the unnecessary gap.

  Affected components: Checkbox

• b99f6d5: Fixed Dialog content overflowing when no height prop is set. The dialog now grows with its content and scrolls when content exceeds the viewport height.

  Affected components: Dialog

• 2f581de: Fixed focus ring styles to use React Aria's [data-focus-visible] data attribute instead of the native CSS :focus-visible pseudo-class. This ensures keyboard focus rings render reliably when focus is managed programmatically by React Aria (e.g. inside a GridList, Menu, or Select).

  Affected components: Accordion, Button, ButtonIcon, ButtonLink, Card, List, Menu, Select, ToggleButtonGroup

• 17d6398: Fixed incorrect bottom spacing caused by Container using padding-bottom for its default bottom spacing. Changed to margin-bottom and prevented it from applying when Container is used as the Header root element.

  Affected components: Container, Header

• 2e5c651: Fixed PluginHeader to avoid triggering ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications warnings when used in layouts that react to the header height, such as pages that use FullPage.

  Affected components: PluginHeader

• d4fa5b4: Fixed tab matchStrategy matching to ignore query parameters and hash fragments in tab href values. Previously, tabs with query params in their href (e.g., /page?group=foo) would never show as active since matching compared the full href string against location.pathname which never includes query params.

  Affected components: Tabs, PluginHeader

• bc42b60: Fixed Table component to use current --bui-bg-neutral-1 tokens instead of the removed --bui-bg-tint tokens, restoring row hover, selected, pressed, and disabled background colors.

• 9314ff5: Fixed a bug in the useTable hook where the loading skeleton was never shown for complete mode when using getData. The initial data state was an empty array instead of undefined, causing the Table component to skip the loading state.

• f42f4cc: Fixed Table column headers overflowing and wrapping when there is not enough space. Headers now truncate with ellipsis instead.

  Affected components: Table

• 1f9682b: Fixed Table row hover, selected, pressed, and disabled background states to use the correct neutral token level based on the container background.

  Affected components: Table

• fbd5c5a: Fixed Table rows showing a pointer cursor when not interactive. Rows now only show cursor: pointer when they have an href, are selectable, or are pressable.

  Affected components: Table

• 612c217: Fixed Table rows with external href values to open in a new tab by automatically applying target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer".

  Affected components: Table

• 545129a: Updated Table selection checkboxes to use aria-label instead of empty fragment children, improving accessibility and removing the unnecessary label gap in the selection cells.

  Affected components: Table

• 36987db: Fixed handling of the style prop on Button, ButtonIcon, and ButtonLink so that it is now correctly forwarded to the underlying element instead of being silently dropped.

  Affected components: Button, ButtonIcon, ButtonLink

• 95702ab: Fixed Link variant default from 'body' to 'body-medium' to match actual CSS selectors. The previous default did not correspond to a valid variant value.

  Affected components: Link

• 9027b10: Fixed scroll overflow in Menu and Select popover content when constrained by viewport height.

  Affected components: Menu, Select

• 7960d54: Added support for native HTML div attributes on the Flex, Grid, and Grid.Item components.

  Affected components: Flex, Grid, Grid.Item

• 0559408: Added virtualized prop to Table component for virtualized rendering of large datasets. Accepts true for default row height, { rowHeight: number } for fixed height, or { estimatedRowHeight: number } for variable height rows.

• 8909359: Fixed focus-visible outline styles for Menu and Select components.

  Affected components: Menu, Select

• 12d8afe: Fixed MenuItem onAction prop ordering so user-provided onAction handlers are chained rather than silently overwritten.

• aa29b50: Pages created with PageBlueprint now render the plugin header by default in the new frontend system.

• bb66b86: The Select trigger now automatically adapts its background colour based on the parent background context.

  Affected components: Select

• 4105a78: Merged the internal PluginHeaderToolbar component into PluginHeader, removing the separate component and its associated types (PluginHeaderToolbarOwnProps, PluginHeaderToolbarProps) and definition (PluginHeaderToolbarDefinition). This is an internal refactor with no changes to the public API of PluginHeader.

  Affected components: PluginHeader

• 9599697: Updated dependency globals to ^17.0.0.

• 0f462f8: Improved type safety in useDefinition by centralizing prop resolution and strengthening the BgPropsConstraint to require that bg provider components declare children as a required prop in their OwnProps type.

• 8909359: Added proper cursor styles for RadioGroup items.

  Affected components: RadioGroup

• fcaac3b: Fixed Card interactive cards not firing the onPress handler when clicking the card surface.

  Affected components: Card

• b303857: Fixed isRequired prop not being passed to the underlying React Aria field components in TextField, SearchField, and PasswordField. Previously, isRequired was consumed locally for the secondary label text but never forwarded, which meant the input elements lacked aria-required="true" and React Aria's built-in required validation was not activated.

  Affected components: TextField, SearchField, PasswordField

• 934ac03: SearchField and TextField now automatically adapt their background color based on the parent bg context, stepping up one neutral level (e.g. neutral-1 → neutral-2) when placed on a neutral background. TextField also gains a focus ring using the --bui-ring token.

  Affected components: SearchField, TextField

• cd3cb0f: Improved useBreakpoint performance by sharing a single set of matchMedia listeners across all component instances instead of creating independent listeners per hook call.

• 36987db: Extended AlertProps, ContainerProps, DialogBodyProps, and FieldLabelProps with native div element props to allow passing attributes like aria-* and data-*.

  Affected components: Alert, Container, DialogBody, FieldLabel

  Affected components: Box, Flex, Grid, Card, Accordion, Popover, Tooltip, Dialog, Menu

• b42fcdc: BREAKING: Removed --bui-bg-popover CSS token. Popover, Tooltip, Menu, and Dialog now use --bui-bg-app for their outer shell and Box bg="neutral-1" for content areas, providing better theme consistency and eliminating a redundant token.

  Migration:

  Replace any usage of --bui-bg-popover with --bui-bg-neutral-1 (for content surfaces) or --bui-bg-app (for outer shells):

Patch Changes

• 58224d3: Fixed neutral-1 hover & pressed state in light mode.

• 95702ab: Migrated all components from useStyles to useDefinition hook. Exported OwnProps types for each component, enabling better type composition for consumers.

  Affected components: Avatar, Checkbox, Container, Dialog, FieldError, FieldLabel, Flex, FullPage, Grid, HeaderPage, Link, Menu, PasswordField, PluginHeader, Popover, RadioGroup, SearchField, Select, Skeleton, Switch, Table, TablePagination, Tabs, TagGroup, Text, TextField, ToggleButton, ToggleButtonGroup, Tooltip, VisuallyHidden

Minor Changes

• 46a9adc: BREAKING: Alert no longer accepts a surface prop

  The Alert component's background is now driven entirely by its status prop. The surface prop has been removed.

  - <Alert surface="1" status="info" />
  + <Alert status="info" />
  

  Affected components: Alert

• b63c25b: BREAKING: Removed gray scale tokens and renamed background surface tokens to neutral tokens

  The --bui-gray-1 through --bui-gray-8 tokens have been removed. The --bui-bg-surface-* and --bui-bg-neutral-on-surface-* tokens have been replaced by a unified --bui-bg-neutral-* scale.

  Migration:

  Replace surface tokens directly:

  - background: var(--bui-bg-surface-0);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-0);
  

  Replace on-surface tokens shifted by +1:

  - background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-on-surface-0);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-1);
  

  Replace gray tokens 1-4 with neutral equivalents (--bui-gray-5 through --bui-gray-8 have no direct replacement):

  - background: var(--bui-gray-1);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-1);
  

• 7898df0: BREAKING: Replaced Surface / onSurface system with new provider/consumer background system

  The old Surface type ('0'–'3', 'auto') and its associated props (surface, onSurface) have been replaced by a provider/consumer bg architecture.

  Types:

  • ContainerBg — 'neutral-1' | 'neutral-2' | 'neutral-3' | 'danger' | 'warning' | 'success'
  • ProviderBg — ContainerBg | 'neutral-auto'

  Consumer components (e.g. Button) inherit the parent's bg via data-on-bg, and CSS handles the visual step-up. See "Neutral level capping" below for details on how levels are bounded.

  Hooks:

  • useBgProvider(bg?) — for provider components. Returns { bg: undefined } when no bg is given (transparent). Supports 'neutral-auto' to auto-increment from the parent context.
  • useBgConsumer() — for consumer components. Returns the parent container's bg unchanged.

  Component roles:

  • Provider-only (Box, Flex, Grid): set data-bg, wrap children in BgProvider. Transparent by default — they do not auto-increment; pass bg="neutral-auto" explicitly if you want automatic neutral stepping.
  • Consumer-only (Button, ButtonIcon, ButtonLink): set data-on-bg, inherit the parent container's bg unchanged.
  • Provider + Consumer (Card): sets both data-bg and data-on-bg, wraps children. Card passes bg="neutral-auto" to its inner Box, so it auto-increments from the parent context.

  Neutral level capping:

  Provider components cap at neutral-3. There is no neutral-4 prop value. The neutral-4 level exists only in consumer component CSS — for example, a Button sitting on a neutral-3 surface uses neutral-4 tokens internally via data-on-bg.

  Migration:

  Rename the surface prop to bg on provider components and update values:

  - <Box surface="1">
  + <Box bg="neutral-1">
  
  - <Card surface="2">
  + <Card bg="neutral-2">
  
  - <Flex surface="0">
  + <Flex bg="neutral-1">
  
  - <Grid.Root surface="1">
  + <Grid.Root bg="neutral-1">
  

  Remove onSurface from consumer components — they now always inherit from the parent container:

  - <Button onSurface="1" variant="secondary">
  + <Button variant="secondary">
  
  - <ButtonIcon onSurface="2" variant="secondary" />
  + <ButtonIcon variant="secondary" />
  
  - <ToggleButton onSurface="1">
  + <ToggleButton>
  

  Update type imports:

  - import type { Surface, LeafSurfaceProps, ContainerSurfaceProps } from '@backstage/ui';
  + import type { ContainerBg, ProviderBg } from '@backstage/ui';
  

  Replace hook usage in custom components:

  - import { useSurface, SurfaceProvider } from '@backstage/ui';
  + import { useBgProvider, useBgConsumer, BgProvider } from '@backstage/ui';
  
  - const { surface } = useSurface({ surface: props.surface });
  + const { bg } = useBgProvider(props.bg);
  
  - const { surface } = useSurface({ onSurface: props.onSurface });
  + const { bg } = useBgConsumer();
  

  Update CSS selectors targeting surface data attributes:

  - [data-surface='1'] { ... }
  + [data-bg='neutral-1'] { ... }
  
  - [data-on-surface='1'] { ... }
  + [data-on-bg='neutral-1'] { ... }
  

  Note: Provider components use data-bg (values: neutral-1 through neutral-3, plus intent values). Consumer components use data-on-bg, which reflects the parent container's bg directly. The neutral-4 level never appears as a prop or data-bg value — it is used only in consumer CSS.

  Affected components: Box, Button, ButtonIcon, ButtonLink, ToggleButton, Card, Flex, Grid

• 4137a43: BREAKING: Renamed, added, and removed CSS tokens.

  • Renamed --bui-bg-neutral-0 to --bui-bg-app.
  • Renamed --bui-border to --bui-border-2.
  • Added --bui-border-1 for subtle, low-contrast borders.
  • Added --bui-bg-popover for the background color of popovers, tooltips, menus, and dialogs.
  • Removed --bui-border-hover, --bui-border-pressed, and --bui-border-disabled.

  Migration:

  - var(--bui-bg-neutral-0)
  + var(--bui-bg-app)
  
  - var(--bui-border)
  + var(--bui-border-2)
  

  Remove any references to --bui-border-hover, --bui-border-pressed, and --bui-border-disabled as these tokens no longer exist.

• b1f723b: BREAKING: Changed CSS selectors for ButtonIcon and ButtonLink components. Custom styles targeting .bui-Button to style these components must be updated to use .bui-ButtonIcon or .bui-ButtonLink respectively.

  -/* This no longer styles ButtonIcon or ButtonLink */
  -.bui-Button[data-variant="primary"] { ... }
  +/* Use component-specific selectors */
  +.bui-ButtonIcon[data-variant="primary"] { ... }
  +.bui-ButtonLink[data-variant="primary"] { ... }
  

  Affected components: ButtonIcon, ButtonLink

• caeb9ad: BREAKING: The cell and header properties in ColumnConfig now return ReactElement instead of ReactNode.

  This fixes an issue where React Aria's Collection component would inject an id prop into Fragment wrappers, causing "Invalid prop id supplied to React.Fragment" errors on render.

  Migration:

  const columns: ColumnConfig<MyItem>[] = [
    {
      id: 'name',
      label: 'Name',
  -   cell: (item) => item.name,
  +   cell: (item) => <CellText title={item.name} />,
  -   header: () => 'Name',
  +   header: () => <Column>Name</Column>,
    },
  ];
  

• 0ec3c0e: BREAKING: Renamed the Header component to PluginHeader for clarity.

  The following exports have been renamed:

  • Header → PluginHeader
  • HeaderProps → PluginHeaderProps
  • HeaderDefinition → PluginHeaderDefinition

  The HeaderTab type is unchanged as it is shared with HeaderPage.

  CSS class names have been updated from bui-Header* to bui-PluginHeader*.

  Migration:

  -import { Header, HeaderDefinition } from '@backstage/ui';
  +import { PluginHeader, PluginHeaderDefinition } from '@backstage/ui';
  
  -<Header title="My plugin" />
  +<PluginHeader title="My plugin" />
  

  Affected components: plugin-header

• 058ffd9: BREAKING: Removed large size variant from Button component as it was never implemented.

  Migration:

  - <Button size="large">Click me</Button>
  + <Button size="medium">Click me</Button>
  

  Affected components: Button

• 110fec0: BREAKING: Removed link and tint color tokens, added new status foreground tokens, and improved Link component styling

  The following color tokens have been removed:

  • --bui-fg-link (and all related tokens: -hover, -pressed, -disabled)
  • --bui-fg-tint (and all related tokens: -hover, -pressed, -disabled)
  • --bui-bg-tint (and all related tokens: -hover, -pressed, -disabled)
  • --bui-border-tint (and all related tokens)

  New Status Tokens:

  Added dedicated tokens for status colors that distinguish between usage on status backgrounds vs. standalone usage:

  • --bui-fg-danger-on-bg / --bui-fg-danger
  • --bui-fg-warning-on-bg / --bui-fg-warning
  • --bui-fg-success-on-bg / --bui-fg-success
  • --bui-fg-info-on-bg / --bui-fg-info

  The -on-bg variants are designed for text on colored backgrounds, while the base variants are for standalone status indicators with improved visibility and contrast.

  Migration:

  For link colors, migrate to one of the following alternatives:

  .custom-link {
  - color: var(--bui-fg-link);
  + color: var(--bui-fg-info);  /* For informational links */
  + /* or */
  + color: var(--bui-fg-primary);  /* For standard text links */
  }
  

  For tint colors (backgrounds, foregrounds, borders), migrate to appropriate status or neutral colors:

  .info-section {
  - background: var(--bui-bg-tint);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-info);  /* For informational sections */
  + /* or */
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-1);  /* For neutral emphasis */
  }
  

  If you're using status foreground colors on colored backgrounds, update to the new -on-bg tokens:

  .error-badge {
  - color: var(--bui-fg-danger);
  + color: var(--bui-fg-danger-on-bg);
    background: var(--bui-bg-danger);
  }
  

  Affected components: Link

Patch Changes

• 644e303: Added a new FullPage component that fills the remaining viewport height below the PluginHeader.

  <PluginHeader title="My Plugin" tabs={tabs} />
  <FullPage>
    {/* content fills remaining height */}
  </FullPage>
  

  Affected components: FullPage

• 44877e4: Fixed dark theme --bui-fg-secondary and --bui-fg-disabled tokens using black-based oklch(0% ...) instead of white-based oklch(100% ...), making secondary and disabled text visible on dark backgrounds.

• 350c948: Fixed Box component to forward HTML attributes to the underlying div element.

  Affected components: Box

• 7455dae: Use node prefix on native imports

• c8ae765: Fixed nested Accordion icon state issue where the inner accordion's arrow icon would incorrectly show as expanded when only the outer accordion was expanded. The CSS selector now uses a direct parent selector to ensure the icon only responds to its own accordion's expanded state.

  Affected components: Accordion

• 4d1b7f4: Fixed CSS Module syntax to comply with Next.js 16 Turbopack validation by flattening nested dark theme selectors.

  Affected components: Popover, Tooltip

• 2c219b9: Added destructive prop to Button for dangerous actions like delete or remove. Works with all variants (primary, secondary, tertiary).

  Affected components: Button

• 5af9e14: Fixed useDefinition hook adding literal "undefined" class name when no className prop was passed.

• 5c76d13: Allow ref as a prop on the Tag component

  Affected components: Tag

• ab25658: Cleaned up useDefinition ownProps types to remove never-typed ghost properties from autocomplete.

• 741a98d: Allow data to be passed directly to the useTable hook using the property data instead of getData() for mode "complete".

  This simplifies usage as data changes, rather than having to perform a useEffect when data changes, and then reloading the data. It also happens immediately, so stale data won't remain until a rerender (with an internal async state change), so less flickering.

  Affected components: Table

• a0fe1b2: Fixed changing columns after first render from crashing. It now renders the table with the new column layout as columns change.

  Affected components: Table

• 508bd1a: Added new Alert component with support for status variants (info, success, warning, danger), icons, loading states, and custom actions.

  Updated status color tokens for improved contrast and consistency across light and dark themes:

  • Added new --bui-bg-info and --bui-fg-info tokens for info status
  • Updated --bui-bg-danger, --bui-fg-danger tokens
  • Updated --bui-bg-warning, --bui-fg-warning tokens
  • Updated --bui-bg-success, --bui-fg-success tokens

  Affected components: Alert

• da30862: Fixed client-side navigation for container components by wrapping the container (not individual items) in RouterProvider. Components now conditionally provide routing context only when children have internal links, removing the Router context requirement when not needed. This also removes the need to wrap these components in MemoryRouter during tests when they are not using the href prop.

  Additionally, when multiple tabs match the current URL via prefix matching, the tab with the most specific path (highest segment count) is now selected. For example, with URL /catalog/users/john, a tab with path /catalog/users is now selected over a tab with path /catalog.

  Affected components: Tabs, Tab, TagGroup, Tag, Menu, MenuItem, MenuAutocomplete

• 092c453: Fixed an infinite render loop in Tabs when navigating to a URL that doesn't match any tab href.

• becf851: export PasswordField component

• becee36: Migrated Accordion components to use useDefinition instead of useStyles, and added automatic background adaptation based on parent container context.

• 5320aa8: Fixed components to not require a Router context when rendering without internal links.

  Affected components: Link, ButtonLink, Row

• a7e0d50: Updated react-router-dom peer dependency to ^6.30.2 and explicitly disabled v7 future flags to suppress deprecation warnings.

• 8c39412: The Table component now wraps the react-aria-components Table with a ResizableTableContainer only if any column has a width property set. This means that column widths can adapt to the content otherwise (if no width is explicitly set).

  Affected components: Table

• cb090b4: Bump react-aria-components to v1.14.0

• c429101: Fixed React 17 compatibility by using useId from react-aria instead of the built-in React hook which is only available in React 18+.

• 74c5a76: Fixed Switch component disabled state styling to show not-allowed cursor and disabled text color.

  Affected components: Switch

Minor Changes

• b63c25b: BREAKING: Removed gray scale tokens and renamed background surface tokens to neutral tokens

  The --bui-gray-1 through --bui-gray-8 tokens have been removed. The --bui-bg-surface-* and --bui-bg-neutral-on-surface-* tokens have been replaced by a unified --bui-bg-neutral-* scale.

  Migration:

  Replace surface tokens directly:

  - background: var(--bui-bg-surface-0);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-app);
  

  Replace on-surface tokens shifted by +1:

  - background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-on-surface-0);
  + background: var(--bui-bg-neutral-1);
  

  Replace gray tokens 1-4 with neutral equivalents (--bui-gray-5 through --bui-gray-8 have no direct replacement):

• 16543fa: BREAKING: The Cell component has been refactored to be a generic wrapper component that accepts children for custom cell content. The text-specific functionality (previously part of Cell) has been moved to a new CellText component.

  Migration:

  If you were using Cell with text-specific props (title, description, leadingIcon, href), you need to update your code to use CellText instead:

  Before:

  <Cell
    title="My Title"
    description="My description"
    leadingIcon={<Icon />}
    href="/path"
  />
  

  After:

  <CellText
    title="My Title"
    description="My description"

0.10.0-next.1

Minor Changes

• 16543fa: BREAKING: The Cell component has been refactored to be a generic wrapper component that accepts children for custom cell content. The text-specific functionality (previously part of Cell) has been moved to a new CellText component.

  Migration:

  If you were using Cell with text-specific props (title, description, leadingIcon, href), you need to update your code to use CellText instead:

  Before:

  <Cell
    title="My Title"
    description="My description"
    leadingIcon={<Icon />}
    href="/path"
  />
  

  After:

  <CellText
    title="My Title"
    description="My description"
    leadingIcon={<Icon />}
    href="/path"
  />
  

  For custom cell content, use the new generic Cell component:

  <Cell>{/* Your custom content */}</Cell>

• 134151f: BREAKING: Fixing styles on SearchField in Backstage UI after migration to CSS modules. SearchField has now its own set of class names.

  • Use Backstage UI components directly as building blocks, or
  • Duplicate the component CSS in your own stylesheets instead of relying on internal class names

• b78fc45: BREAKING: Changed className prop behavior to augment default styles instead of being ignored or overriding them.
