[lucas-koehler]

The react material renderers should support latest MUI and MUI X version 9.

Hi,

We just migrated our application (which uses @jsonforms/material-renderers in production) to MUI v9 and are very interested in this upgrade as well. May I ask if there is already a rough idea of when MUI v9 support with Version 3.9 might land, or whether any help is needed? We'd be happy to test a pre-release against our app.

Thanks a lot for your work on JSON Forms!

Hi @jgteske , there is no fixed timeline for this issue. However, we plan on working on this either this or next month. However, contributions are always welcome, too, and could accelerate the process. Would you like to contribute this?

There is an open PR for this #2588 but it seems to be abandoned.

The timeline of 3.9 is independent of this. The full release will probably land later in the year. But once we have the upgrade merged, we can do a pre-release any time :)

Hi @lucas-koehler,
Yes, I'd be happy to contribute this! I will have a look at #2588 and create a new PR for this issue.

Any pointers or constraints are welcome.

Good to know the 3.9 timeline is independent — a pre-release once this is merged sounds great.

@jgteske Thank you!
Regarding constraints. There are no hard constraints but the changes should be as little breaking as possible behavior and API wise. Of course, if there is no way around this, it is still acceptable.
As a hint, make sure to test the date and time renderers. From experience, the date and/or time widgets can be quite brittle.

As a general note, creating a pre-release is very little effort for us. Thus, we can do them at nearly anytime. Quite often they are prompted by community members that want to use their just-merged contributions 😄
Only full releases are rarer due to higher effort because of release notes, website updates, etc.

@lucas-koehler Thank you for the hints. I will keep this in mind when implementing.
