Dash Mantine Components Roadmap

Last updated Feb 17, 2025

As many of you know, Dash Mantine Components (DMC) is a wrapper around the popular Mantine library. By using Mantine, we can offer a rich set of components for Dash that makes it easier to create responsive and attractive applications. Over the past few years, Mantine has evolved rapidly, with major updates that introduced new features and sometimes brought breaking changes. This post will go over our roadmap for DMC, what’s changing, and how we’re making things more stable moving forward.

1. Background: Mantine Major Releases and Their Impact on DMC

Mantine has grown quickly since its launch, with regular major releases that have added new features and made significant improvements -- and also included breaking changes. Each big update has also required DMC to update in order to stay compatible.

Mantine Major Releases

• Version 7.0 – September 2023

• Version 6.0 – March 2023

• Version 5.0 – July 2022

• Version 4.0 – March 2022

• Version 3.0 – October 2021

Here’s a quick look at recent DMC releases and how they aligned with Mantine’s:

DMC Releases with Breaking Changes

• 0.14.0 – April 2024 (Uses Mantine 7.0)

• 0.13.0a1 – August 2023 (Uses Mantine 6.0)

• 0.12.0 – March 2023 (Uses Mantine 5.10.5)

• 0.7.0 – March 2022 (Uses Mantine 4.0)

We know these changes haven’t been easy for users to manage, and we appreciate your patience. The good news is that this fast release cycle is now slowing down, so there should be fewer changes and more stability going forward.

2. Looking Ahead

The next major release, Mantine 8.0, is planned for May 2025. This update introduces fewer breaking changes than previous major versions. For details, see:

3. DMC Roadmap & Goals

DMC 1.x

• DMC 1. is fully compatible with both Dash 2 and Dash 3.
• Earlier DMC versions (<1.0) must pin to Dash <3.0.0.
• Built on Mantine 7.17, the final minor release before Mantine 8.
• Performance improvements:
  • When used with Dash 3, updates to one component no longer trigger unnecessary re-renders of multiple components, improving efficiency.
  • Async loading for charts and code highlighting:
    - Reduced dash_mantine_components.js file size from 2.68 MiB to 823 KiB 🎉
    - Faster page load times and improved time-to-first-render.

DMC 2.0.0

• Will be based on Mantine 8.0.
• Prioritizing release as soon as possible after Mantine 8 is stable.

Key Development Priorities

• Fixing Bugs: Quickly addressing any issues that arise will be a top priority.

• Adding More Mantine Features: Our goal is to bring in features from Mantine that aren’t yet in DMC, to keep both libraries as similar as possible.

For details on these priorities, please see GitHub Issues and the ideas topic in Discussions

We’ll prioritize requests from the community, especially those with the most upvotes on GitHub.

We also welcome contributions, so if you have ideas or want to help improve DMC, feel free to open an issue, submit a pull request or start a topic here in Discussions.
