JavaScript Data GridMigrate from 9.0 to 10.0

Migrate from Handsontable 9.0 to Handsontable 10.0, released on September 29, 2021.

More information about this release can be found in the 10.0.0 release blog post (opens new window).
For a detailed list of changes in this release, see the Changelog.

Step 1: Rename your Handsontable hooks
Step 2: Adapt to the HyperFormula dependency update
Step 3: Adapt to the configuration options' new default values
Step 4: Adapt to the Handsontable hooks changes
Step 5: Adapt to the font changes

Step 1: Rename your Handsontable hooks

If you use the beforeRender or afterRender Handsontable hooks, update their names in your app (#8632 (opens new window)).

Before	After
`beforeRender`	`beforeViewRender`
`afterRender`	`afterViewRender`

There are still Handsontable hooks that are named beforeRender and afterRender, but they do completely new things now. For more details, see the Handsontable 10.0 API reference:

Step 2: Adapt to the HyperFormula dependency update

In Handsontable 10.0.0, we updated the optional HyperFormula dependency from 0.6.2 to ^1.1.0 (#8669 (opens new window)).

For more details on the breaking changes between HyperFormula 0.6.x and HyperFormula 1.0.x, see the migration guide (opens new window).

Step 3: Adapt to the configuration options' new default values

In Handsontable 10.0.0, we changed the default values of the autoWrapCol and autoWrapRow configuration options, from true to false (#8662 (opens new window)):

Before	After
`autoWrapCol: true`	`autoWrapCol: false`
`autoWrapRow: true`	`autoWrapRow: false`

We also changed the default values for the rowsLimit and columnsLimit options of the CopyPaste plugin, from 1000 to Infinity (#8676 (opens new window)):

Before	After
`rowsLimit: 1000`	`rowsLimit: Infinity`
`columnsLimit: 1000`	`columnsLimit: Infinity`

Step 4: Adapt to the Handsontable hooks changes

In Handsontable 10.0, we unified the naming of an argument used by the beforeOnCellMouseDown and beforeOnCellMouseOver Handsontable hooks (#8591 (opens new window)):

Handsontable hook	Before	After
`beforeOnCellMouseDown`	`blockCalculations`	`controller`
`beforeOnCellMouseOver`	`blockCalculations`	`controller`

In both cases, the renamed controller object now has a cell property, instead of a cells property:

`blockCalculations` (before)	`controller` (after)
`row` `column` `cells`	`row` `column` `cell`

This change affects the following plugins:

Step 5: Adapt to the font changes

To make Handsontable look good right out of the box, we added default font-family, font size, font weight, and color properties for all elements within the .handsontable CSS class (#8681 (opens new window)). If you're not overwriting these properties in your app, this change will affect your grid's font.
