Breaking changes and migration guide

No need to await JavaScript calls

When using run_javascript, run_method, call_api_method and call_column_api_method,
you can decide whether the client should respond with a return value or not by awaiting the method call or not.
The method will automatically inform the client.
The respond parameter of run_javascript is not used anymore. See https://nicegui.io/documentation/run_javascript

ui.chart is now ui.highchart and requires the package "nicegui-highchart"

Highcharts requires you to buy a license for commercial products if the code is installed on your machine.
That's why we made it an optional package.
Install with pip install nicegui[highcharts].

The globals module is gone

We removed the ugly globals module, which was never intended to be public API,
but might have been used nonetheless.

• If you need the app configuration, use app.config instead (using from nicegui import app to get the app object).
• If you need the current client or slot, use the context module instead.
• If you need the client dictionary, use Client.instances instead.

FastAPI's new lifespan API

Since FastAPI's @on_event("startup") and @on_event("shutdown") are deprecated,
NiceGUI switched to the new lifespan API.
You can still use app.on_startup() and app.on_shutdown().

Layout elements use flex layout by default

Before you needed to use ui.column inside, e.g., ui.tab_panel and other elements to get proper alignment, padding and spacing.
Now most UI elements provide reasonable default so that the content looks like in a ui.row or ui.column.
