Upgrading to Bubbles v2

This guide covers every breaking change when migrating from Bubbles v1 (github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles) to Bubbles v2 (charm.land/bubbles/v2). It is written for both humans and LLM-assisted migration tools.

Companion upgrades required. Bubbles v2 requires Bubble Tea v2 and Lip Gloss v2. Upgrade all three together:

go get charm.land/bubbletea/v2@latest
go get charm.land/bubbles/v2@latest
go get charm.land/lipgloss/v2@latest

1. Import Paths

Replace all github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles imports with charm.land/bubbles/v2:

// Before
import (
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/cursor"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/help"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/key"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/list"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/paginator"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/progress"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/runeutil"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/spinner"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/stopwatch"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/table"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/textarea"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/textinput"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/timer"
    "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/viewport"
)

// After
import (
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/cursor"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/help"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/key"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/list"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/paginator"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/progress"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/spinner"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/stopwatch"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/table"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/textarea"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/textinput"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/timer"
    "charm.land/bubbles/v2/viewport"
)

Note: The runeutil and memoization packages are now internal and no longer importable.

Search-and-replace pattern:

github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/  →  charm.land/bubbles/v2/
github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles   →  charm.land/bubbles/v2

2. Global Patterns

These patterns repeat across multiple components. Address them first for the broadest impact.

2a. tea.KeyMsg → tea.KeyPressMsg

Bubble Tea v2 renames tea.KeyMsg to tea.KeyPressMsg. All Bubbles that handle key events have been updated. Update your own Update functions:

// Before
case tea.KeyMsg:

// After
case tea.KeyPressMsg:

2b. Exported Width/Height Fields → Getter/Setter Methods

Many components replaced exported Width and Height fields with methods. The general pattern:

// Before
m.Width = 40
m.Height = 20
fmt.Println(m.Width, m.Height)

// After
m.SetWidth(40)
m.SetHeight(20)
fmt.Println(m.Width(), m.Height())

Affected components: filepicker, help, progress, table, textinput, viewport.

2c. DefaultKeyMap Variables → Functions

Global mutable DefaultKeyMap variables are now functions returning fresh values:

// Before
km := textinput.DefaultKeyMap
km.Paste.SetEnabled(false)

// After
km := textinput.DefaultKeyMap()
km.Paste.SetEnabled(false)

Affected components: paginator, textarea, textinput.

2d. AdaptiveColor → LightDark with isDark bool

Lip Gloss v2 removes AdaptiveColor. Style functions that previously auto-adapted now require an explicit isDark bool parameter. See Section 4 for the full pattern.

2e. Removed NewModel Aliases

All NewModel variables (deprecated aliases for New) have been removed. Use New directly.

Affected components: help, list, paginator, spinner, textinput.

3. Per-Component Migration

Cursor

v1 v2
model.Blink model.IsBlinked
model.BlinkCmd() model.Blink()

Filepicker

v1 v2
DefaultStylesWithRenderer(r) DefaultStyles()
model.Height = 10 model.SetHeight(10)
_ = model.Height _ = model.Height()

Help

v1 v2
model.Width = 80 model.SetWidth(80)
_ = model.Width _ = model.Width()
NewModel() New()

New functions:

  • DefaultStyles(isDark bool) Styles
  • DefaultDarkStyles() Styles
  • DefaultLightStyles() Styles

Apply styles explicitly:

// Before
h := help.New()
// Colors auto-adapted to terminal background

// After
h := help.New()
h.Styles = help.DefaultStyles(isDark)

List

v1 v2
DefaultStyles() DefaultStyles(isDark)
NewDefaultItemStyles() NewDefaultItemStyles(isDark)
styles.FilterPrompt styles.Filter.Focused.Prompt / styles.Filter.Blurred.Prompt
styles.FilterCursor styles.Filter.Cursor
NewModel(...) New(...)

The Styles.FilterPrompt and Styles.FilterCursor fields have been consolidated into Styles.Filter, which is a textinput.Styles struct.

Paginator

v1 v2
DefaultKeyMap (var) DefaultKeyMap() (func)
model.UsePgUpPgDownKeys Removed — customize KeyMap directly
model.UseLeftRightKeys Removed — customize KeyMap directly
model.UseUpDownKeys Removed — customize KeyMap directly
model.UseHLKeys Removed — customize KeyMap directly
model.UseJKKeys Removed — customize KeyMap directly
NewModel(...) New(...)

Progress

This component has the most extensive changes.

Width

// Before
p.Width = 40
fmt.Println(p.Width)

// After
p.SetWidth(40)
fmt.Println(p.Width())

Colors

Color types changed from string to image/color.Color:

// Before
p.FullColor = "#FF0000"
p.EmptyColor = "#333333"

// After
p.FullColor = lipgloss.Color("#FF0000")
p.EmptyColor = lipgloss.Color("#333333")

Gradient/Blend Options

// Before
progress.New(progress.WithGradient("#5A56E0", "#EE6FF8"))
progress.New(progress.WithDefaultGradient())
progress.New(progress.WithScaledGradient("#5A56E0", "#EE6FF8"))
progress.New(progress.WithDefaultScaledGradient())
progress.New(progress.WithSolidFill("#7571F9"))

// After
progress.New(progress.WithColors(lipgloss.Color("#5A56E0"), lipgloss.Color("#EE6FF8")))
progress.New(progress.WithDefaultBlend())
progress.New(progress.WithColors(lipgloss.Color("#5A56E0"), lipgloss.Color("#EE6FF8")), progress.WithScaled(true))
progress.New(progress.WithDefaultBlend(), progress.WithScaled(true))
progress.New(progress.WithColors(lipgloss.Color("#7571F9")))
v1 v2
WithGradient(a, b string) WithColors(colors ...color.Color)
WithDefaultGradient() WithDefaultBlend()
WithScaledGradient(a, b string) WithColors(...) + WithScaled(true)
WithDefaultScaledGradient() WithDefaultBlend() + WithScaled(true)
WithSolidFill(string) WithColors(color) (single color)
WithColorProfile(termenv.Profile) Removed (automatic)
Update() (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) Update() (Model, tea.Cmd)

New options:

  • WithColorFunc(func(total, current float64) color.Color) — dynamic per-cell coloring
  • WithScaled(bool) — scale blend to filled portion

Spinner

v1 v2
NewModel() New()
spinner.Tick() (package func) model.Tick() (method)

Stopwatch

// Before
sw := stopwatch.NewWithInterval(500 * time.Millisecond)

// After
sw := stopwatch.New(stopwatch.WithInterval(500 * time.Millisecond))
v1 v2
NewWithInterval(d) New(WithInterval(d))

Table

v1 v2
model.viewport.Width model.Width() / model.SetWidth(w)
model.viewport.Height model.Height() / model.SetHeight(h)

The table already had SetWidth/SetHeight/Width()/Height() in v1, but internally these now use viewport getter/setters.

Textarea

KeyMap

// Before
km := textarea.DefaultKeyMap
// After
km := textarea.DefaultKeyMap()

New key bindings added: PageUp, PageDown.

Styles

The styling system has been restructured:

// Before
ta := textarea.New()
ta.FocusedStyle.Base = lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.RoundedBorder())
ta.BlurredStyle.Base = lipgloss.NewStyle().Border(lipgloss.HiddenBorder())

// After
ta := textarea.New()
// Styles are now nested under a Styles struct
// Access via Styles.Focused and Styles.Blurred (type StyleState)
v1 v2
textarea.Style (type) textarea.StyleState (type)
model.FocusedStyle model.Styles.Focused
model.BlurredStyle model.Styles.Blurred
DefaultStyles() (focused, blurred Style) DefaultStyles(isDark bool) Styles

Cursor

// Before
ta.Cursor                           // cursor.Model (virtual cursor)
ta.SetCursor(col)                   // set cursor column

// After
ta.Cursor()                         // func() *tea.Cursor (real cursor)
ta.SetCursorColumn(col)             // renamed for clarity
ta.VirtualCursor                    // bool: true = virtual, false = real
ta.Styles.Cursor                    // CursorStyle for cursor appearance

New additions:

  • Column() — returns current cursor column (0-indexed)
  • ScrollYOffset() — returns vertical scroll offset
  • ScrollPosition() — returns scroll position
  • MoveToBeginning() / MoveToEnd() — navigate to start/end

Textinput

KeyMap

// Before
km := textinput.DefaultKeyMap
// After
km := textinput.DefaultKeyMap()

Width

// Before
ti.Width = 40
// After
ti.SetWidth(40)

Styles

Individual style fields have moved into a Styles struct:

// Before
ti.PromptStyle = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("63"))
ti.TextStyle = lipgloss.NewStyle()
ti.PlaceholderStyle = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("240"))
ti.CompletionStyle = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("240"))

// After
s := textinput.DefaultStyles(isDark)
s.Focused.Prompt = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("63"))
s.Focused.Text = lipgloss.NewStyle()
s.Focused.Placeholder = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("240"))
s.Focused.Suggestion = lipgloss.NewStyle().Foreground(lipgloss.Color("240"))
ti.SetStyles(s)
v1 Field v2 Location
Model.PromptStyle StyleState.Prompt
Model.TextStyle StyleState.Text
Model.PlaceholderStyle StyleState.Placeholder
Model.CompletionStyle StyleState.Suggestion
Model.CursorStyle Styles.Cursor
Model.Cursor (cursor.Model) Model.Cursor() (func → *tea.Cursor)

New:

  • Model.Styles() / Model.SetStyles(Styles) — get/set styles
  • Model.VirtualCursor() / Model.SetVirtualCursor(bool) — toggle cursor mode

Timer

// Before
t := timer.NewWithInterval(30*time.Second, 100*time.Millisecond)
t := timer.New(30 * time.Second)

// After
t := timer.New(30*time.Second, timer.WithInterval(100*time.Millisecond))
t := timer.New(30 * time.Second)
v1 v2
NewWithInterval(timeout, interval) New(timeout, WithInterval(interval))

Viewport

This component has the most new features alongside its breaking changes.

Constructor

// Before
vp := viewport.New(80, 24)

// After
vp := viewport.New(viewport.WithWidth(80), viewport.WithHeight(24))
// or
vp := viewport.New()
vp.SetWidth(80)
vp.SetHeight(24)

Width, Height, YOffset

// Before
vp.Width = 80
vp.Height = 24
vp.YOffset = 5
fmt.Println(vp.Width, vp.Height, vp.YOffset)

// After
vp.SetWidth(80)
vp.SetHeight(24)
vp.SetYOffset(5)
fmt.Println(vp.Width(), vp.Height(), vp.YOffset())

Removed

  • HighPerformanceRendering — removed entirely (deprecated in Bubble Tea v2)

New Features (non-breaking)

These are additions you can adopt incrementally:

  • Soft wrapping: vp.SoftWrap = true
  • Left gutter for line numbers: 
    vp.LeftGutterFunc = func(info viewport.GutterContext) string {
    if info.Soft { return "     │ " }
    if info.Index >= info.TotalLines { return "   ~ │ " }
    return fmt.Sprintf("%4d │ ", info.Index+1)
}
  • Highlighting: 
    vp.SetHighlights(regexp.MustCompile("pattern").FindAllStringIndex(vp.GetContent(), -1))
vp.HighlightNext()
vp.HighlightPrevious()
vp.ClearHighlights()
  • SetContentLines([]string) — set lines directly with virtual soft-wrap support
  • GetContent() string — retrieve content
  • FillHeight bool — fill viewport with empty lines
  • StyleLineFunc func(int) lipgloss.Style — per-line styling
  • Horizontal scrolling with left/right arrow keys
  • Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling

4. Light and Dark Styles

Lip Gloss v2 removes AdaptiveColor, so Bubbles no longer auto-detect terminal background. You must explicitly choose light or dark styles.

Recommended: Query via Bubble Tea

func (m model) Init() tea.Cmd {
    return tea.RequestBackgroundColor
}

func (m model) Update(msg tea.Msg) (tea.Model, tea.Cmd) {
    switch msg := msg.(type) {
    case tea.BackgroundColorMsg:
        isDark := msg.IsDark()
        m.help.Styles = help.DefaultStyles(isDark)
        m.list.Styles = list.DefaultStyles(isDark)
        // ... apply to other components
    }
    return m, nil
}

This is required when using Wish to detect the client's background.

Quick: Use compat Package

import "charm.land/lipgloss/v2/compat"

var isDark = compat.HasDarkBackground()

func main() {
    h := help.New()
    h.Styles = help.DefaultStyles(isDark)
}

Warning: The compat approach uses blocking I/O outside Bubble Tea's event loop and will not detect remote client backgrounds over SSH.

Manual

h.Styles = help.DefaultDarkStyles()   // force dark
h.Styles = help.DefaultLightStyles()  // force light
