Upgrade guide

Follow this guide to upgrade from Flux v1.x to v2.x.

Prerequisites

Before upgrading to Flux v2, make sure you have the following:
  • Laravel version 10 or later
  • Livewire version 3.5.19 or later
  • Tailwind CSS version 4 or later
Flux v2 is built on top of Tailwind CSS v4, so if you are using an older version of Tailwind CSS, you need to upgrade it to v4 or later by following the Tailwind CSS upgrade guide.

Update Flux

Run the following composer command to upgrade your application's Flux and Flux Pro dependencies to v2:

Rename @fluxStyles

In Flux v2, the
@fluxStyles
directive has been removed as these styles are now imported directly into your
app.css
file.
However, the
@fluxAppearance
directive has been added as a replacement to manage dark mode in your application—it controls the
.dark
class on the
<html>
element.

Clear the view cache

Run the following Artisan command from your application's root directory to clear any cached/compiled Blade views:

Tailwind Config

Because Flux's styles are no longer added via the
@fluxStyles
directive, you will need to import the Flux CSS file directly into your
./resources/css/app.css
file like so:

Migrating accent colors

If you had previously defined custom accent colors in your
app.css
and
tailwind.config.js
file, then you will need to update them in your
app.css
file.
Before, these were defined in a single
@layer base
block within your
app.css
file, but now they are defined as two separate blocks:
  • default colors are now inside the
    @theme
    block
  • dark mode colors are now inside the
    @layer theme
    block
Here's an example of defining
sky
as your application's accent color:

If you're still using your old Tailwind config, you can now remove the following lines:

Re-assigning gray

If you had previously re-assigned Flux's gray of choice in your
tailwind.config.js
file, then you will need to move this to your
app.css
file.
Here's an example of re-assigning
zinc
to
neutral
:

If you are continuing to use your
tailwind.config.js
file in your application, then you can remove the following:

Dark mode changes

If you had previously set
darkMode: null
in your
tailwind.config.js
file to prevent Flux from controlling the
.dark
class and handling dark mode automatically, you can now accomplish this by not including the
@fluxAppearance
directive in your layout file:

Rename components

In Flux v2, some components have been renamed. You will need to update your code accordingly:
v1 v2
flux:options flux:select.options
flux:option flux:select.option
flux:cell flux:table.cell
flux:columns flux:table.columns
flux:column flux:table.column
flux:rows flux:table.rows
flux:row flux:table.row
