Instructions

Phase 1: Project Analysis

1. Detect Current Version

   grep -r "@nuxt/ui" package.json
   

2. Scan for Breaking Changes Search for patterns that will break in v4:

   • ButtonGroup → renamed to FieldGroup
   • PageMarquee → renamed to Marquee
   • PageAccordion → removed (use Accordion)
   • .nullify modifier → renamed to .nullable
   • inputRef.value.$el → now returns element directly
   • .js extension in composable imports

3. Identify Dependencies

   • Check Tailwind CSS version (v4 required)
   • Check Vue version (3.5+ required)
   • Check for @internationalized/date (needed for InputDate/InputTime)

Phase 2: Migration Guide

Key v3 → v4 Breaking Changes:

1. Component Renames

   - <UButtonGroup>
   + <UFieldGroup>
   
   - <UPageMarquee>
   + <UMarquee>
   

2. Removed Components

   - <UPageAccordion>
   + <UAccordion unmount-on-hide="false">
   

3. Model Modifiers

   - v-model.nullify="value"
   + v-model.nullable="value"
   

4. Template Refs (v4.2+)

   - inputRef.value.$el.focus()
   + inputRef.value?.focus()
   

5. Composable Imports

   - import { useToast } from '#ui/composables/useToast.js'
   + import { useToast } from '#ui/composables/useToast'
   

6. CSS Import Order

   <style>
   @import "tailwindcss";  /* FIRST */
   @import "@nuxt/ui";     /* SECOND */
   </style>
   

7. UApp Wrapper Required

   <template>
     <UApp>
       <NuxtPage />
     </UApp>
   </template>
   

8. Form Transformations

   • Now apply only to submit data, not internal state
   • Nested forms require explicit nested prop

Phase 3: Automated Fixes

For each breaking change found, offer to:

1. Show the affected files
2. Explain what needs to change
3. Apply the fix automatically (with user confirmation)

Phase 4: Verification

After migration:

1. Run bun run build to check for errors
2. Run bun run typecheck if available
3. Test key functionality manually

New Features in v4

After migration, inform user about new capabilities:

• 125+ components (up from ~50)
• Dashboard components for admin interfaces
• Chat components for AI integration
• Editor components for rich text
• Page layout components for landing pages
• Pricing components for SaaS pages
• Blog/Changelog components for content

Always fetch the official migration guide using the MCP tool for the most accurate information.
