Reductions in bundle size, updated theming, column header content customization.
What's New
AG Grid 33 significantly reduces bundle size via modularization and enhances functionality, theming and accessibility as described in the release post. These major improvements require certain breaking changes as listed below.
Please use the codemods to start your migration, then review the changes to modules and themes.
AG Grid 33 is aimed at addressing long-standing community feedback around bundle size and theming. Naturally, given the significance of these changes, this release has introduced more breaking changes than usual. We recognise that not all users can immediately benefit from these improvements.
Therefore we are launching Long-Term Support (LTS) versions of AG Grid (v32-lts) and AG Charts (v10-lts), ensuring you can continue receiving bug fixes without upgrading to the latest major release. We will proactively identify necessary fixes, but please feel free to report any issues you encounter against our LTS versions.
Changes to Modules / Packages
Version 33 introduces a major change to how modules work to allow for smaller bundle sizes. Previously AG Grid supported two approaches - modules and packages. These have now been merged together to allow for simpler configuration and greater optimisation of bundle size.
If you are using the UMD bundle, then you do not need to make any changes as all modules are automatically registered. Otherwise, see the steps below.
Migrating from AG Grid Community
ag-grid-community
To match the existing behaviour simply register the AllCommunityModule bundle via the ModuleRegistry before any grid is created. This module contains all the features that were previously included as part of ag-grid-community.
Most users will want to set {theme: "legacy"} if not already using the new Theming Api, see Theming for more details.
import { AllCommunityModules, ModuleRegistry, provideGlobalGridOptions } from 'ag-grid-community';
// Register all community features
ModuleRegistry.registerModules([AllCommunityModules]);
// Mark all grids as using legacy themes
provideGlobalGridOptions({ theme: "legacy"});
Migrating from AG Grid Enterprise
ag-grid-enterprise
To match the existing behaviour simply register the AllEnterpriseModule bundle via the ModuleRegistry alongside your LicenseManager.
If you are using Integrated Charts or Sparklines, see the migration steps below.
Most users will want to set {theme: "legacy"} if not already using the new Theming Api, see Theming for more details.
import { ModuleRegistry, provideGlobalGridOptions } from 'ag-grid-community';
import { AllEnterpriseModule, LicenseManager } from 'ag-grid-enterprise';
LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('your License Key');
// Register all enterprise features
ModuleRegistry.registerModules([AllEnterpriseModule]);
// Mark all grids as using legacy themes
provideGlobalGridOptions({ theme: "legacy"});
Migrating from AG Grid Modules
@ag-grid-community/**
/ @ag-grid-enterprise/**
In v33 there is no longer a requirement for separate NPM feature modules to achieve tree shaking. This means we can simply export all the modules from either ag-grid-community or ag-grid-enterprise as follows:
-
@ag-grid-community/**
packages are replaced withag-grid-community
Apart from
@ag-grid-community/locale
which remains unchanged.
@ag-grid-enterprise/**
packages are replaced withag-grid-enterprise
.
Here is an example of a typical package.json diff for the migration:
an example package.json diff
AG Grid Community
"dependencies": {
-
- "@ag-grid-community/client-side-row-model": "^32.3.0",
- "@ag-grid-community/csv-export": "^32.3.0",
+
+ "ag-grid-community": "33.0.1-beta.20241221.1523",
}
AG Grid Enterprise
"dependencies": {
-
- "@ag-grid-community/client-side-row-model": "^32.3.0",
- "@ag-grid-community/csv-export": "^32.3.0",
- "@ag-grid-enterprise/clipboard": "^32.3.0",
- "@ag-grid-enterprise/master-detail": "^32.3.0",
- "@ag-grid-enterprise/row-grouping": "^32.3.0",
+
+ "ag-grid-enterprise": "33.0.1-beta.20241221.1523",
}
After updating your package.json file, we recommend using the Codmod to assist your migration as it will update all your applications import paths and module registration to ensure backwards compatibility.
npx @ag-grid-devtools/cli@33.0 migrate --from=$FROM_VERSION
Validation Module
To help identify missing modules and configuration issues at development time, we recommend including the ValidationModule in your development build. This will provide helpful details on missing modules for a particular feature. This is provided as a separate module so that it can be excluded from production builds saving even more bundle size. It is included in the AllCommunityModule.
Changes to Existing Modules
The following changes have been made to the existing modules to ensure that each feature only includes the minimal code required for that feature:
ColumnsToolPanelModule
- no longer imports theRowGroupingModule
ExcelExportModule
- no longer imports theCsvExportModule
-
MenuModule
- split intoColumnMenuModule
for the Column Menu, andContextMenuModule
for the Context Menu. RangeSelectionModule
- replaced withCellSelectionModule
.-
RowGroupingModule
- split into several modules.RowGroupingModule
- Row Grouping onlyTreeDataModule
- Tree DataPivotModule
- PivotingRowGroupingPanelModule
- Row Grouping Panel / Pivot PanelGroupFilterModule
- Group Filter
-
GridChartsModule
- replaced withIntegratedChartsModule
and requires AG Charts module to be registered. -
SparklinesModule
- requires AG Charts module to be registered.
The codemod will include the new modules to match the existing behaviour of v32 module dependencies. For example, if you were importing the ExcelExportModule in v32 then the codemod will automatically include the CsvExportModule in v33.
Optimizing Bundle Size
To take full advantage of the new modules you may wish to use the Module Selector to work out which modules you require for a give set of features.
Integrated Charts / Sparklines
AG Grid Enterprise no longer includes AG Charts as part of its distribution to avoid bloating the bundle size. If you are using either Integrated Charts or Sparklines, you must now explicitly include either the community / enterprise AG Charts library as a dependency.
Integrated Charts / Sparklines Migration Steps
For an application using Integrated Charts / Sparklines via the AllEnterpriseModule bundle with the Enterprise version of AG Charts first add ag-charts-enterprise to your package.json dependencies.
"dependencies": {
"ag-grid-enterprise": "33.0.1-beta.20241221.1523",
+ "ag-charts-enterprise": "11.0.3-beta.20241219",
}
Then pass the AgChartsEnterpriseModule to the AllEnterpriseModule to activate the charting features.
import { AllEnterpriseModule, LicenseManager, ModuleRegistry } from 'ag-grid-enterprise';
import { AgChartsEnterpriseModule } from 'ag-charts-enterprise';
LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('your License Key');
ModuleRegistry.registerModules([
AllEnterpriseModule.with(AgChartsEnterpriseModule)
]);
If you are using AG Grid Modules, then both the IntegratedChartsModule
and SparklinesModule
also require the AG Charts module to be registered when they are used.
import { IntegratedChartsModule, SparklinesModule, LicenseManager, ModuleRegistry } from 'ag-grid-enterprise';
import { AgChartsEnterpriseModule } from 'ag-charts-enterprise';
LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('your License Key');
ModuleRegistry.registerModules([
IntegratedChartsModule.with(AgChartsEnterpriseModule),
SparklinesModule.with(AgChartsEnterpriseModule)
]);
Theming
The new and improved Theming API is now the default theming method for AG Grid. If you wish to migrate to the Theming Api see the Theming API Migration Guide. However, this is not a requirement to upgrade to v33.
Continue with Legacy Themes
If you want to upgrade to v33 without immediately adopting the Theming API, you can opt back in to the v32 style of
themes by setting the grid option theme:"legacy"
. You can then continue to use legacy themes.
If you have multiple grids you can mark them all as using legacy themes via a Global Grid Option. Enterprise users can define this alongside their license key.
import { provideGlobalGridOptions } from 'ag-grid-community';
// Mark all grids as using legacy themes
provideGlobalGridOptions({ theme: "legacy" });
Codemods
Follow these steps to upgrade your project's AG Grid version to 33.0.1-beta.20241221.1523
:
-
Locate your project's package.json and note the version of AG Grid that you are currently using.
-
Update any AG Grid dependencies listed in the package.json as outline above to version
33.0.1-beta.20241221.1523
. -
Open a terminal and navigate to your project's root folder.
-
Run the
migrate
command of version33.0
of the AG Grid codemod runner, where$FROM_VERSION
refers to your project's existing AG Grid version:npx @ag-grid-devtools/cli@33.0 migrate --from=$FROM_VERSION
This will update your project's source files to prepare for the new release.
By default the Codemod runner will locate all source files within the current directory. For projects with more specific requirements, pass a list of input files to the
migrate
command, or specify the--help
argument to see more fine-grained usage instructions.
The Codemod runner will check the state of your project to ensure that you don't lose any work. If you would
rather see a diff of the changes instead of applying them, pass the --dry-run
argument.
The codemod only transforms source files that make use of deprecated features, so if you aren't currently making use of any of those APIs your source code will be unaffected by the codemod.
See the Codemods documentation for more details.
Breaking Changes
The full list of breaking changes across all features for v33.
Breaking Changes
This release includes the following breaking changes:
Changes To Modules / Packages
Changes outline above in the Changes to Modules / Packages section
Integrated Charts / Sparklines
Changes outline above in the Integrated Charts / Sparklines section
Property Value Coercion
For non-TS users or users who use TS but avoid type validation there's changes in property value coercion: For boolean values provided as strings, “false” is no longer converted to false any more - all string values are truthy.
Server-side Rendering
AG Grid no longer patches global properties that are not present in a Server environment, i.e HTMLElement and others. If possible you should avoid rendering AG Grid on the server as this is not supported.
Stricter Types
The following properties are now strictly typed to only their valid values instead of string
:
-
gridOptions -
chartMenuItems
/getMainMenuItems
/getContextMenuItems
- columnDefs -
mainMenuItems
/contextMenuItems
Column Menu
The column property is now optional in the callback to get column menu items (in the grid option
getMainMenuItems
or colDef.mainMenuItems
). column
will be null when a
column group header or empty column space is right-cpcked on. A new property columnGroup
will be provided when a column group header is right-clicked on.
Row Drop Zone
api.getRowDropZoneParams()
returns undefined if the RowDragModule
is not registered.
Server-side Row Model
Server-side Row Model full store (activated by suppressServerSideInfiniteScroll
property) is now
removed. Please use the standard server-side row model functionality as documented.
Column State
Column state properties in the column definition are no longer parsed to number/boolean. Provide the correct types instead of strings.
Grid State
Grid state colId ag-Grid-ControlsColumn
is now named ag-Grid-SelectionColumn
.
Restoring grid state with the old colId
will have no effect.
Integrated Charts
navigator
is removed from ChartFormatPanelGroup
. Navigator setting is now part of
the Integrated Charts Advanced Settings.
Sparklines
-
type: 'column'
- removed, usetype: 'bar'
anddirection: 'vertical'
instead. -
tooltip.renderer
no longer returns tooltip font colour and opacity - use CSS instead. tooltip.xOffset / tooltip.yOffset
- removed, use CSS instead.tooltip.container

andoutsideEnd
, please useinside-center
,inside-start
,inside-end
oroutside-end
