Release 3.5.0

Intent UI v3.5.0 adds new components, upgrades core dependencies, and introduces clearer, more consistent form APIs.

Introduction

Intent UI v3.5.0 is here. This release adds new components, refines form patterns, and upgrades key dependencies to improve speed, consistency, and accessibility.

New components

Highlights

  • Updated to the latest React Aria Components and Tailwind CSS.
  • Input provides a consistent, accessible primitive for form fields.
  • ButtonGroup lets you group related actions with a compact layout.
  • Text standardizes typography so content looks consistent across your app.

Breaking changes

Form components now use explicit child elements for labels, descriptions, and errors. This improves flexibility and composition.

TextField

Before

<TextField
  label="Username"
  description="Enter your username"
  errorMessage="Username is required"
/>

After

<TextField>
  <Label>Username</Label>
  <Input/>
  <Description>Enter your username</Description>
  <FieldError>Username is required</FieldError>
</TextField>

Textarea

Before

<Textarea
  label="Bio"
  description="Tell us about yourself"
  errorMessage="Bio is required"
/>

After

<TextField>
  <Label>Bio</Label>
  <Description>Tell us about yourself</Description>
  <Textarea/>
  <FieldError>Bio is required</FieldError>
</TextField>

Checkbox

CheckboxLabel replaces using Label inside Checkbox.

<Checkbox>
  <CheckboxLabel>Accept terms and conditions</CheckboxLabel>
</Checkbox>

Switch

SwitchLabel replaces using Label inside Switch.

Before

<Switch>
  <Label>Enable notifications</Label>
</Switch>

After

<Switch>
  <SwitchLabel>Enable notifications</SwitchLabel>
</Switch>

Select

Props for label, description, and errorMessage are removed in favor of child elements.

Before

<Select
  label="Country"
  description="Select your country"
  errorMessage="Country is required"
>
  <SelectContent />
</Select>

After

<Select>
  <Label>Country</Label>
  <SelectTrigger />
  <SelectContent />
  <Description>Select your country</Description>
  <FieldError>Country is required</FieldError>
</Select>

ComboBox

Same pattern as Select and TextField.

Before

<ComboBox
  label="City"
  description="Select your city"
  errorMessage="City is required"
>
  <ComboBoxContent />
</ComboBox>

After

<ComboBox>
  <Label>City</Label>
  <ComboBoxInput />
  <ComboBoxContent />
  <Description>Select your city</Description>
  <FieldError>City is required</FieldError>
</ComboBox>

Additional changes

Components that used dot notation like Card.Header and Modal.Footer are now flattened; use CardHeader and ModalFooter instead.

Migration notes

  • Replace removed props with <Label>, <Description>, and <FieldError> children.
  • Use CheckboxLabel and SwitchLabel for their respective components.
