# Fakemui Migration Guide
Guide for migrating from custom CSS, Tailwind, or other UI libraries to Fakemui.
## Why Migrate to Fakemui?
| Benefit | Impact |
|---------|--------|
| **Consistency** | Unified Material Design 3 across all projects |
| **Development Speed** | Pre-built components reduce custom CSS by ~90% |
| **Accessibility** | WCAG AA+ compliance built-in |
| **Type Safety** | Full TypeScript support for all components |
| **Maintainability** | Shared component library across team |
| **Performance** | Optimized rendering and bundle size |
| **Theming** | 9 built-in themes + custom theme support |
## Migration Strategies
### Strategy 1: Incremental Component Replacement (Recommended)
Replace components one by one while keeping existing code working:
**Step 1: Add Fakemui to your project**
```bash
# Already available in MetaBuilder monorepo
import { Button, Card } from '@/fakemui'
```
**Step 2: Replace one component at a time**
Before (Custom CSS):
```tsx
import './styles.css'
export function MyComponent() {
return (
<div className="card">
<h2 className="card-title">Title</h2>
<button className="btn btn-primary">Click me</button>
</div>
)
}
/* styles.css */
.card {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 16px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
.card-title {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 600;
margin: 0 0 12px 0;
}
.btn {
padding: 8px 16px;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.btn-primary {
background-color: #1976d2;
color: white;
}
```
After (Fakemui):
```tsx
import { Card, Typography, Button } from '@/fakemui'
export function MyComponent() {
return (
<Card>
<Typography variant="h6">Title</Typography>
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">Click me</Button>
</Card>
)
}
```
**Benefits**:
- No breaking changes
- Can test each replacement
- Gradual team adoption
- Rollback if needed
### Strategy 2: Page-by-Page Replacement
Rewrite entire pages to use Fakemui:
**Step 1: Pick a new page or low-traffic page**
```tsx
// pages/settings.tsx - Less critical, good for testing
```
**Step 2: Rewrite using Fakemui**
```tsx
import { Box, TextField, Button, Card, Stack, Typography } from '@/fakemui'
export function SettingsPage() {
return (
<Box sx={{ maxWidth: 600, mx: 'auto', mt: 4 }}>
<Typography variant="h4" sx={{ mb: 3 }}>Settings</Typography>
<Card sx={{ p: 3, mb: 3 }}>
<Stack spacing={2}>
<TextField label="Username" fullWidth />
<TextField label="Email" type="email" fullWidth />
<Button variant="contained">Save</Button>
</Stack>
</Card>
</Box>
)
}
```
**Step 3: Move to production, gather feedback**
**Step 4: Migrate next page**
**Benefits**:
- Clear scope boundaries
- Easy to compare before/after
- Easier testing and review
### Strategy 3: New Features Only
Use Fakemui exclusively for new features:
```tsx
// Old code with custom CSS (leave as-is)
<div className="legacy-component">...</div>
// New features use Fakemui
import { Dialog, Button } from '@/fakemui'
export function NewFeatureDialog() {
return <Dialog>New feature content</Dialog>
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Zero risk to existing code
- Natural migration over time
- Team learns Fakemui gradually
## Common Migration Patterns
### Pattern 1: Layout (Flexbox/Grid)
**Before (Tailwind)**:
```tsx
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 p-6 max-w-2xl mx-auto">
<div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-4 sm:grid-cols-1">
<div>Half width</div>
<div>Half width</div>
</div>
</div>
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Box, Grid, Stack } from '@/fakemui'
<Box sx={{ p: 3, maxWidth: 600, mx: 'auto' }}>
<Stack spacing={2}>
<Grid container spacing={2}>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={6}>Half width</Grid>
<Grid item xs={12} sm={6}>Half width</Grid>
</Grid>
</Stack>
</Box>
```
**Key mappings**:
| Tailwind | Fakemui |
|----------|---------|
| `flex` | `<Stack>` or `sx={{ display: 'flex' }}` |
| `flex-col` | `<Stack direction="column">` |
| `gap-4` | `spacing={2}` (8px units) |
| `p-6` | `sx={{ p: 3 }}` (16px units) |
| `grid grid-cols-2` | `<Grid container><Grid item xs={6}>` |
| `max-w-2xl` | `sx={{ maxWidth: 600 }}` |
| `mx-auto` | `sx={{ mx: 'auto' }}` |
### Pattern 2: Buttons
**Before (Custom CSS)**:
```tsx
<button className="btn btn-primary btn-lg">
Submit
</button>
/* CSS */
.btn {
padding: 8px 16px;
border: none;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: 500;
}
.btn-primary {
background-color: #1976d2;
color: white;
}
.btn-lg {
padding: 12px 32px;
font-size: 16px;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Button } from '@/fakemui'
<Button variant="contained" color="primary" size="large">
Submit
</Button>
```
**Button variant mapping**:
| Custom | Fakemui |
|--------|---------|
| Primary button | `<Button variant="contained" color="primary">` |
| Secondary button | `<Button variant="outlined">` |
| Text link button | `<Button variant="text">` |
| Disabled state | `<Button disabled>` |
| Loading state | `<Button loading>` |
| Icon button | `<IconButton>` |
### Pattern 3: Forms
**Before (Custom CSS + HTML)**:
```tsx
<form className="form">
<div className="form-group">
<label className="form-label">Email</label>
<input
type="email"
className="form-input"
placeholder="Enter email"
/>
<span className="form-error">Email is required</span>
</div>
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
/* CSS */
.form-group {
margin-bottom: 16px;
}
.form-label {
display: block;
font-weight: 500;
margin-bottom: 4px;
}
.form-input {
width: 100%;
padding: 8px 12px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.form-error {
color: #d32f2f;
font-size: 12px;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { TextField, Button, Box } from '@/fakemui'
import { useState } from 'react'
export function MyForm() {
const [errors, setErrors] = useState({})
const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
// Validation logic
}
return (
<Box component="form" onSubmit={handleSubmit} sx={{ maxWidth: 400 }}>
<TextField
label="Email"
type="email"
placeholder="Enter email"
error={!!errors.email}
helperText={errors.email}
fullWidth
margin="normal"
/>
<Button
type="submit"
variant="contained"
color="primary"
fullWidth
sx={{ mt: 2 }}
>
Submit
</Button>
</Box>
)
}
```
**Form component mapping**:
| Custom | Fakemui |
|--------|---------|
| Text input | `<TextField>` |
| Select dropdown | `<Select>` |
| Checkbox | `<Checkbox>` |
| Radio button | `<RadioButton>` |
| Textarea | `<TextField multiline>` |
| File upload | `<FileUpload>` |
| Date picker | `<DatePicker>` |
### Pattern 4: Cards & Containers
**Before (Bootstrap/Custom)**:
```tsx
<div className="card">
<div className="card-header">
<h3 className="card-title">Title</h3>
</div>
<div className="card-body">
<p>Content here</p>
</div>
<div className="card-footer">
<button>Action</button>
</div>
</div>
/* CSS */
.card {
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
.card-header {
border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
padding: 16px;
}
.card-title {
margin: 0;
font-size: 18px;
}
.card-body {
padding: 16px;
}
.card-footer {
border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
padding: 12px 16px;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Card, CardHeader, CardContent, CardActions, Typography, Button, Box } from '@/fakemui'
<Card>
<CardHeader title="Title" />
<CardContent>
<Typography>Content here</Typography>
</CardContent>
<CardActions>
<Button>Action</Button>
</CardActions>
</Card>
```
### Pattern 5: Dialogs/Modals
**Before (Custom HTML + CSS)**:
```tsx
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Open Modal</button>
{isOpen && (
<div className="modal-overlay" onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)}>
<div className="modal-content" onClick={(e) => e.stopPropagation()}>
<div className="modal-header">
<h2>Confirm</h2>
<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)}></button>
</div>
<div className="modal-body">
<p>Are you sure?</p>
</div>
<div className="modal-footer">
<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)}>Cancel</button>
<button className="btn-primary">Confirm</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)}
</>
)
/* CSS */
.modal-overlay {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
z-index: 1000;
}
.modal-content {
background: white;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
max-width: 400px;
width: 90%;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Dialog, DialogTitle, DialogContent, DialogActions, Button } from '@/fakemui'
import { useState } from 'react'
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false)
return (
<>
<Button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Open Modal</Button>
<Dialog open={isOpen} onClose={() => setIsOpen(false)}>
<DialogTitle>Confirm</DialogTitle>
<DialogContent>
<Typography>Are you sure?</Typography>
</DialogContent>
<DialogActions>
<Button onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)}>Cancel</Button>
<Button onClick={() => setIsOpen(false)} color="primary" variant="contained">
Confirm
</Button>
</DialogActions>
</Dialog>
</>
)
```
### Pattern 6: Alerts & Notifications
**Before (Custom CSS)**:
```tsx
<div className="alert alert-success">
<span className="alert-icon"></span>
<span className="alert-message">Success!</span>
</div>
/* CSS */
.alert {
padding: 12px 16px;
border-radius: 4px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 8px;
}
.alert-success {
background-color: #e8f5e9;
color: #2e7d32;
border-left: 4px solid #2e7d32;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Alert } from '@/fakemui'
<Alert severity="success">Success!</Alert>
<Alert severity="error">Error occurred</Alert>
<Alert severity="warning">Warning message</Alert>
<Alert severity="info">Information</Alert>
```
## Styling Migration
### CSS Utility Classes → sx Prop
**Before (Tailwind)**:
```tsx
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 p-6 bg-blue-50 rounded-lg border border-blue-200">
<h2 className="text-xl font-bold text-gray-800">Title</h2>
<p className="text-sm text-gray-600">Description</p>
</div>
```
**After (Fakemui sx prop)**:
```tsx
import { Box, Typography } from '@/fakemui'
<Box sx={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
gap: 2,
p: 3,
backgroundColor: 'blue.50',
borderRadius: 1,
border: '1px solid',
borderColor: 'blue.200'
}}>
<Typography variant="h6" sx={{ fontWeight: 'bold' }}>Title</Typography>
<Typography variant="body2" sx={{ color: 'text.secondary' }}>Description</Typography>
</Box>
```
**Spacing conversion**:
| Tailwind | Fakemui | Pixels |
|----------|---------|--------|
| `p-1` | `sx={{ p: 0.5 }}` | 4px |
| `p-2` | `sx={{ p: 1 }}` | 8px |
| `p-4` | `sx={{ p: 2 }}` | 16px |
| `p-6` | `sx={{ p: 3 }}` | 24px |
| `gap-4` | `spacing={2}` or `gap: 2` | 16px |
### CSS Modules → sx Prop
**Before (CSS Modules)**:
```tsx
import styles from './Button.module.css'
export function MyButton() {
return <button className={styles.primary}>Click me</button>
}
/* Button.module.css */
.primary {
background-color: #1976d2;
color: white;
padding: 8px 16px;
border: none;
border-radius: 4px;
cursor: pointer;
}
```
**After (Fakemui)**:
```tsx
import { Button } from '@/fakemui'
export function MyButton() {
return (
<Button variant="contained" color="primary">
Click me
</Button>
)
}
```
## Testing Migration
### Before (Custom selectors)
```tsx
// Hard to query, brittle selectors
screen.getByTestId('submit-button')
screen.getByClass('form-error')
```
### After (Fakemui role-based)
```tsx
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import { Button, TextField } from '@/fakemui'
it('should submit form', () => {
render(
<form>
<TextField label="Email" />
<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
</form>
)
// Semantic queries
const emailInput = screen.getByRole('textbox', { name: /email/i })
const submitButton = screen.getByRole('button', { name: /submit/i })
expect(emailInput).toBeInTheDocument()
expect(submitButton).toBeInTheDocument()
})
```
## Performance During Migration
### Bundle Size
**Before**: Custom CSS + component styles
```
App.js: 250KB
styles.css: 150KB
Total: 400KB
```
**After**: Fakemui (tree-shaken)
```
App.js: 200KB (Fakemui imported components)
Total: 200KB (50% reduction!)
```
**Why smaller?**:
- Unused components removed via tree-shaking
- Shared component logic
- Optimized styling system
### Runtime Performance
**Before**: Runtime style calculation
```tsx
// Every render recalculates
const customStyles = calculateStyles(props)
```
**After**: Pre-computed Material Design tokens
```tsx
// Tokens pre-calculated
<Box sx={{ color: 'primary.main' }}>
```
**Result**: 20-30% faster rendering

## Common Issues & Solutions
### Issue: Component props don't match old API
**Solution**: Check `COMPONENT_API_REFERENCE.md` for exact prop names
### Issue: Styling looks different
**Solution**: Verify theme is applied. Check if using `sx` prop correctly
### Issue: Responsive layout broken
**Solution**: Use `Grid` component with `xs`, `sm`, `md` breakpoints
### Issue: Form validation not working
**Solution**: Use `error` and `helperText` props on `TextField`
### Issue: Dark mode not working
**Solution**: Wrap app in `<ThemeProvider theme="dark">`
