Only thing still not working correctly is global styles, but that is matter of minutiously following the component upgrade instructions I guess...

Again, thanks so much!

Hi @Morriz,
There are three canonical setup app here: https://github.com/garronej/tss-react/tree/main/src/test/apps
You have the instruction about how you can run them here:
https://github.com/garronej/tss-react#development

If you follow the instructions it works without any known issues with MUI: https://docs.tss-react.dev/readme-1
You also have specific instructions for SSR: https://docs.tss-react.dev/ssr

If you want to use a custom cache there are specific instruction here but I recommend you to stick with the default setup.

Best regard

Hi, tnx for your quick reply. But is that cache needed in the first place? I don't read anything saying so. Thing is that I don't see any specificity ordering after following the instructions, sometimes loading theme styles before, and sometimes loading it after component styles

[Morriz]

do I have to forcefully use cx in every component now? And pass className to it from the props? To force funneling and ordering? I hope not, and don't think that would be needed...

[Morriz]

Btw, I already consistently use these exports:

export const {
  makeStyles,
  useStyles, // <- To use when you need css or cx but don't have custom classes
} = createMakeStyles({ useTheme: getTheme })

(where getTheme returns my customized theme)

[garronej]

But is that cache needed in the first place?

Yes, it is, MUI is using emotion internally. We have to explicitly provide an emotion cache that uses prepend: true to MUI so TSS can use another cache.
This way we ensure that the styles defined with TSS are injected after and thus have a higher priority than the ones defined internally by MUI.

do I have to forcefully use cxin every component now?

It's recommended to use cx instead of clsx yes as it gives you greater control. See this explanation

And pass className to it from the props?

I am not sure that I understand what you mean. You don't have to use cx if you have just one className.
If you want to merge the internal classes and the one that might have been provided as props into a single classes object you can use this utility.

I can see you are frustrated, the upgrade from material-ui v4 to MUI v5 is not as smooth as you hoped it would be.
Things with TSS are not exactly as they used to be but you'll find that it's an upgrade all across the board.
I encourage you to put your expectation aside and follow the instructions provided in the documentation.

Best regard,

[Morriz]

thanks for the in depth response. So the cache is needed, and I followed the instructions, but I still don't set the specificity enforced. Let me recap:

I have this setup:

    <Suspense fallback={<Loader />}>
      <CacheProvider value={muiCache}>
        <ThemeProvider theme={getTheme()}>
          ...
            <CssBaseline />
            <Helmet titleTemplate='%s | xx' defaultTitle='xx' />
            <Context.Provider
              value={{
                ...
              }}
            >
              <Router basename={env.CONTEXT_PATH || ''}>
                <Switch>
                  <Route path='/' component={Dashboard} exact />

And I use makeStyles from

export const {
  makeStyles,
  useStyles, // <- To use when you need css or cx but don't have custom classes
} = createMakeStyles({ useTheme: getTheme })

I am not using cx much, and assume it is mostly used to order the classnames that are given to it.

So, what could I still be missing here? I see only one Route is working correctly, but see no differences in my handling there.

I see no error in the snippet of code you shared but I don't have the full picture.
To help you debug I offer you three options (ordered by preference):

1. Create a sandbox with stackblitz or code sandbox where you reproduce the issue you are facing.
2. Share your repo, or as least a dumbed-down version of your repo, privately or publicly.
3. Share your package.json dependencies, your full TSS and MUI setup and an example of how you are using TSS. Explain what isn't working as expected.

Best regards

[Morriz]

That is awesome feedback. I will add you to the repo, as it is not really private just not ready for publication.

[garronej]

I cloned your repo, I see master is still using @material-ui/core (v4) and I see no mention of tss-react.
I looked on the other branches to see if there was a upgrade_to_muiv5 but I didn't see anything like it.

Do you confirm that you are in the process of upgrading from @material-ui/core (v4) to @mui/material (v5)?
Or do you just want to use tss-react with @material-ui/core? It's also possible but the setup isn't the same.

[Morriz]

Excuse me, I just pushed to branch moz/feat/app-shortcuts. It is there now. Sorry!

[Morriz]

Also, I wouldn't mind sharing my screen if that helps ;)

[garronej]

I can't say for sure because there are some private dependencies that I can't install but looking at your package-lock.json it looks like you might have two copies of @emotion/react cohabitating in the same project.
If it's the case it's easy to check. You just have to change the key like:

And look in your chrome development tool if you can see the foo-bar appear.

If you can't then we found the problem. If you know how to fix it great, if not I can share some tips.

While I am at it. You are using the default mui Theme so you don't need to export makeStyles from your src/theme.ts file. You can just import it like import { makeStyles } from "tss-react/mui";.

Also you don't need the type annotation for Theme you can change:

Last thing, you don't need a callback if you're not using the theme nor any params:

(I have red squigly lines because I can't npm install)

[Morriz]

Thanks! I also found the culprit: I had to import the old mui 4 as peerdep for @rjsf, but forgot to make the Layout's use v5. That solved it.

As to your last remark about not passing theme or typing it: I know so much, and eslint will warn me about it. However, I didn't receive type hints in your abstraction first, so that is why I type theme like that. But now that I solved it they appear ;)

[garronej]

Great, I am glad your problem is (mostly) solved.
