Migration

To migrate your codebase automatically, use the migration codemod:

# IMPORTANT: make sure to commit all changes to git / create a backup before running the codemod
npx @assistant-ui/cli upgrade

Or run the specific migration:

npx @assistant-ui/cli codemod v0-11/content-part-to-message-part .

Manual Migration Examples

If you prefer to migrate manually, here are some examples:

Imports:

-import { TextContentPart, useContentPart, ToolCallContentPartComponent } from "@assistant-ui/react";
+import { TextMessagePart, useMessagePart, ToolCallMessagePartComponent } from "@assistant-ui/react";

Type annotations:

-function processContent(part: TextContentPart): void {
+function processContent(part: TextMessagePart): void {
   console.log(part.text);
 }

-const MyTool: ToolCallContentPartComponent = ({ toolName }) => {
+const MyTool: ToolCallMessagePartComponent = ({ toolName }) => {
   return <div>{toolName}</div>;
 };

Hooks:

 function MyComponent() {
-  const part = useContentPart();
-  const text = useContentPartText();
-  const runtime = useContentPartRuntime();
+  const part = useMessagePart();
+  const text = useMessagePartText();
+  const runtime = useMessagePartRuntime();
   return null;
 }

JSX Components:

-<ContentPartPrimitive.Text />
-<ContentPartPrimitive.Image />
+<MessagePartPrimitive.Text />
+<MessagePartPrimitive.Image />

Providers:

-<TextContentPartProvider text="Hello" isRunning={false}>
+<TextMessagePartProvider text="Hello" isRunning={false}>
   <div>Content</div>
-</TextContentPartProvider>
+</TextMessagePartProvider>

Why this change?

The ContentPart naming was inconsistent with the rest of the codebase, where "message parts" are used throughout. This change improves semantic clarity and makes the API more intuitive by aligning terminology across the entire library.

The old ContentPart APIs continue to work but are now deprecated and will be removed in a future major version.
