This page provides guidance for migrating your code when upgrading between major versions of Recharts.

​
Version 2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 is a major release with breaking changes. Please review this guide carefully before upgrading.

​
TypeScript rewrite

Version 2.0.0 was completely rewritten in TypeScript. This provides better type safety and improved developer experience. What changed:
  • Source code is now TypeScript (src/ contains .ts and .tsx files)
  • Full type definitions included
  • Better autocomplete and type checking in TypeScript projects
Action required:
  • Update your TypeScript types if you were using custom type definitions
  • Remove any community-provided type packages like @types/recharts

​
React version requirement

What changed:
  • Only React 16+ is supported
  • React 15 support has been removed
Action required:
  • Upgrade to React 16 or higher before upgrading Recharts
  • Replace unsafe lifecycle methods if you’re using custom components
Version 2.0.0 uses getDerivedStateFromProps to replace UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps for React 17 support.If you’re using custom components with Recharts, ensure they’re compatible with React 16+ lifecycle methods.

​
D3 package upgrades

What changed:
  • D3 packages (d3-scale, d3-shape, d3-interpolate) upgraded to version 2.x/3.x
  • D3 7.x upgrade in version 2.1.12 may break some testing tools
Action required:
If you’re using Jest for testing, you may need to update your configuration:
const path = require('path');
const d3Pkgs = [
  'd3',
  'd3-array',
  'd3-scale',
  'd3-shape',
  'd3-interpolate',
  // ... other d3 packages
];

module.exports = {
  transform: {
    '^.+\.m?[jt]sx?$': 'babel-jest',
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: [
    `/node_modules/(?!${d3Pkgs.join('|')}|internmap|d3-delaunay|delaunator|robust-predicates)`,
  ],
};

​
Prop changes

What changed:
  • Deprecated valueKey prop removed
Action required:
  • Use dataKey instead of valueKey
// Before
<Pie valueKey="value" />

// After
<Pie dataKey="value" />
What changed:
  • scale="utcTime" renamed to scale="utc"
Action required:
  • Update scale prop values
// Before
<XAxis scale="utcTime" />

// After
<XAxis scale="utc" />

​
Stack offset changes

What changed:
  • Fixed stackOffset="sign" behavior
  • Added stackOffset="positive" option for positive-only stacking
Action required:
  • Review your stacked charts with stackOffset="sign" to ensure they still display correctly
  • Use stackOffset="positive" if you need the old behavior for positive values only

​
Type exports

What changed:
  • Component props are now exported for TypeScript users
Action required:
  • Update imports if you were defining types manually
// Before (manual types)
type CustomLineProps = {
  stroke?: string;
  // ...
};

// After (use exported types)
import { LineProps } from 'recharts';
type CustomLineProps = LineProps & {
  // your custom props
};

​
Version 1.0.0

​
Breaking changes from 0.x

What changed:
  • Removed wrapperStyle prop from DefaultTooltipContent
Action required:
  • Use contentStyle prop instead for styling tooltip content
What changed:
  • Replaced axis scale value utcTime with utc
Action required:
  • Update any XAxis or YAxis components using scale="utcTime"
What changed:
  • Dots in Line charts are now clipped by default
Action required:
  • Verify that your line charts display as expected
  • Adjust margins if needed to show dots at chart boundaries
