January 15, 2025 Release

Happy New Year! Our first release of 2025 includes a new firstDayOfWeek prop for our calendar and date picker components, support for CSS transitions in our overlay components, a new Autocomplete component in alpha, and a new React Aria test utils package. As always, a huge shoutout to everyone in the community for their feedback and contributions!

firstDayOfWeek#

By default, our date picker components determine the first day of the week from the locale. However, a common request was for the ability to override this for certain use cases regardless of the locale. Calendar, RangeCalendar, DatePicker, and DateRangePicker now support a firstDayOfWeek prop to enable this. In addition, our @internationalized/date package now includes an option to override the locale in methods such as startOfWeek, endOfWeek, getDayOfWeek, and getWeeksInMonth.

CSS transitions#

Overlay components including Modal, Popover, and Tooltip now support CSS transitions for entry and exit animations, in addition to the existing support for keyframe animations. CSS transitions have the benefit of being interruptible. If the user opens and closes an overlay quickly, transitions will smoothly animate from their current position rather than jumping to the ending state of the animation before starting the new one. You can use CSS transitions using the existing [data-entering] and [data-exiting] states. See our animation guide for more details.

Autocomplete#

The new Autocomplete component is now available in alpha! Similar to a ComboBox, this component provides the ability to display a list of suggestions as the user types in a text input. However, it is more flexible, supporting use cases such as command palettes and searchable menus where the text input is a sibling of the suggestion list rather than a separate popover. It supports both TextField and SearchField inputs, and both ListBox and Menu collections, customizable filters, and arrow key navigation while keeping focus on the input element. There are more features to come in future releases, but we'd love your feedback on this initial alpha release!

React Aria Test Utils#

We are also excited to announce the alpha release of the @react-aria/test-utils package! This package features a set of utilities that aim to make writing tests against our components much simpler and less time consuming. It includes high level methods to interact with components implementing ARIA patterns, so you don't need to figure out how to manually fire the correct sequences of events or navigate the DOM structure. See the respective React Aria and React Spectrum testing pages for more details. It is still very much a work in progress so if you discover any issues or have any feedback, please feel free to report them via GitHub issues!
