Ant Design (antd) underwent a significant evolution moving from version 3.26.20 to the major release 4.0.0, bringing with it a host of changes impacting developers. Version 4 introduces architectural improvements, particularly in the underlying icon system, migrating to @ant-design/icons (version 4) while phasing out @ant-design/icons-react (version 2.0.1) used in version 3. This upgrade delivers enhanced performance and a more modular approach to icon management.
The dependency tree saw modifications, with rc-field-form being a notable addition in version 4, providing enhanced form management capabilities. Several peer dependency updates were also implemented in Ant Design 4, bumping to React versions >=16.8.0 and React-DOM versions >=16.8.0
Developers upgrading should note that the Ant Design (4.0.0) introduces breaking changes, and a thorough review of the migration guide is recommended. The upgrade brought improvements with form handling, icon management and performance improvements.
While the core functionality remains consistent, developers gain access to a refined API and streamlined workflows, ultimately leading to a more maintainable and efficient development experience.
