Releases: mobxjs/mobx-state-tree
v7.0.0-pre.2
Breaking Changes
- Validate state tree instances instead of snapshots in the
SnapshotProcessor.isoverride by @airhorns in #2182 - Fix typings for snapshot processor by @thegedge in #2198 (we also consider this a fix)
Features
Fixes
- Fix tsconfig and typechecking by @thegedge in #2200
- Fix typings for snapshot processor by @thegedge in #2198 (for some users, this may break types if you relied on prior type assumptions)
Migration Path
For most users, migrating from v6 -> v7 will be straightforward and require no work. However, we have made a breaking change in the assumption for types.snapshoProcessor and its is method.
In v6, we validated processed snapshots in this method. But now we will only validate instances. If you upgrade to v7 and all of your TypeScript types and runtime tests are passing, no additional work necessary on your end.
If this change has broken you, it may in fact be surfacing subtle bugs or gaps in your type modeling where your codebase is considering two different types to be "the same" because they have matching SnapshotOut shapes. If you need to preserve that behavior in your codebase, you might consider writing custom logic to check for this type of equality. MST is specifically taking a stance to check against Instances and valid SnapshotIn types.
The snapshot processor typings have also changed, which may break during upgrade, but for the most part we have relaxed them to be more correct. If you relied on old workarounds, you may be able to remove custom type assertions.

Migration Guide from v5 to v6
TypeScript update
Make sure you're using TypeScript 5.3.3, and you have the following compiler flags:
{
"strictNullChecks": true,
"strictFunctionTypes": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"noImplicitThis": true
}Or the shorthand:
{
"strict": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true
}Removing $nonEmptyObject
We removed the $nonEmptyObject key from the ModelCreationType. For the most part, this was an internal feature that would only have shown up in TypeScript errors. There is no runtime change, but if you have any custom typings that relied on something like [$nonEmptyObject] - you should be able to eliminate those.
Union Type Changes
In the past, named enumerations had more specific type than unnamed enumerations. You may have some TypeScript errors where you were using anonymous enumerations. You can type those with the union of literal values inside the enumeration now.
import { t } from "mobx-state-tree";
/**
* In MobX-State-Tree 5.4.1, this is typed as:
* ISimpleType<"Red" | "Orange" | "Green">
*/
const namedEnum = t.enumeration("Color", ["Red", "Orange", "Green"]);
/**
* In MobX-State-Tree 5.4.1, this is typed as:
* ISimpleType<string>
*/
const anonymousEnum = t.enumeration(["Red", "Orange", "Green"]);
/**
* If you use mobx-state-tree@^6.0.0, both of these will be typed as:
* ISimpleType<"Red" | "Orange" | "Green">
*/This has also fixed #1525 and #1664
For #1525, If you had models with properties that were unions including other models, you may have done some type assertions to resolve the issue. This should no longer be necessary. In most cases, we don't expect this to show up as errors. But the inferred types have changed. Look through your codebase for unions of models in the properties of other models, and if you hit any issues, you may be able to use better typing form here on out.
The issue presented itself in #1664 when using types with different creation and instance types which were passed to unions inside of arrays. If you see more TypeScript errors aside from the other items mentioned, look for types.union that creates a union which includes Array, Map, or Model types. If you had any custom type assertions, you may no longer need those.
Array operation patch changes
When an Array type calls clear, or splices itself from index 0, the generated patch is different. We have shortened the operations to be a patch like:
op: "replace", path: "", value: []
If you use onPatch and expect any specific shape of patches from Array.clear or Array.splice, you may need to update your app logic to handle the changed patch generation.
getEnv now throws
If you call getEnv and there is no environment, it will now throw an error. Previously, it would return an empty object.
Check your codebase for getEnv calls, and guard against this error with hasEnv, which will return true if the current state tree has an environment, or false if not.

v5.4.2-pre.1
Version 5.4.2-pre.1 is an important build for everyone to test out, because it includes some TypeScript changes that could be seen as either bug fixes or breaking changes.
RFC - should we consider these changes bug fixes (bump to 5.4.2) or breaking changes (bump to 6.0.0)
import { t } from "mobx-state-tree";
/**
* In MobX-State-Tree 5.4.1, this is typed as:
* ISimpleType<"Red" | "Orange" | "Green">
*/
const namedEnum = t.enumeration("Color", ["Red", "Orange", "Green"]);
/**
* In MobX-State-Tree 5.4.1, this is typed as:
* ISimpleType<string>
*/
const anonymousEnum = t.enumeration(["Red", "Orange", "Green"]);
/**
* If you use mobx-state-tree@5.4.2-pre.1, both of these will be typed as:
* ISimpleType<"Red" | "Orange" | "Green">
*/CodeSandbox for version 5.4.2-pre.1
It's reasonable to call this change a "bug fix", but for projects that relied on the prior behavior, a patch version might "break" their TypeScript types, if they've typed around our existing bug.
The change comes from #2151, which also "fixes" #1525 and #1664 again, by changing types.
We have also removed NonEmptyObject. If a project had relied on that for any kind of type casting, I think that could also be seen as a breaking change.
And of course, we've moved to TypeScript 5.3.3, which shouldn't have a direct impact downstream, but we have previously only called out TS 3.0 or later. This is not strictly a breaking change, and it's technically in line with "TypeScript 3.0 or later", but it could be seen as disruptive to move so far ahead in TypeScript without ample warning in our version.
