Upgrade a library to a new major version
This prompt plans a major version upgrade, such as a router or framework, for code like yours. It lists the breaking changes with before and after examples and an upgrade order that keeps the app working.
Act as a senior developer planning an upgrade. Library: [e.g. React Router] from version [OLD] to [NEW] How we use it: [PASTE THE MAIN FILES OR DESCRIBE] Tests we have: [e.g. unit tests, no end-to-end tests] List the breaking changes that affect code like mine, with before and after examples. Give me an upgrade order that keeps the app working, including any codemods or compatibility modes. Tell me what to test by hand afterwards. If you are not sure about a detail of the new version, say so and point me to the library's own migration guide.
Always check the library's own migration guide too. AI knowledge of very new versions can be out of date.
