injectContentManagerComponent() removed#

In Strapi 5, the injectContentManagerComponent method is removed because the Content Manager is now a plugin. The Admin Panel API method is replaced by getPlugin('content-manager').injectComponent().

Breaking change description#

In Strapi v4

A component is injected into the Content Manager as follows:

app.injectContentManagerComponent('editView', 'right-links', {
    name: 'PreviewButton',
    Component: () => (
      <Button onClick={() => window.alert('Not here, The preview is.')}>Preview</Button>
    ),
  });

In Strapi 5

A component is injected into the Content Manager as follows:

app.getPlugin('content-manager').injectComponent('editView', 'right-links', {
    name: 'PreviewButton',
    Component: () => (
      <Button onClick={() => window.alert('Not here, The preview is.')}>Preview</Button>
    ),
  });

Migration steps#

Change your plugin index.ts file from:

app.injectContentManagerComponent()

to the following:

app.getPlugin('content-manager').injectComponent()
