+title: Migrating components to new theming system
+category: Contributor Guides
+order: 01
+---
+
+# Token migration
+
+The new token system consists of auto-generated tokens form design. They can be imported from `ui-themes`.
+
+## Changing tokens only
+
+The migration strategy with the least amount of effort is only changing tokens. This approach keeps the component as class-based and retains the `View` component.
+
+Changes needed:
+
+- Import token types from `@instructure/ui-themes` instead of `@instructure/shared-types`
+- Update `generateStyle` function to use `NewComponentTypes['ComponentName']` for the theme parameter
+- Replace old theme tokens with new token names from the design system
+- Replace `@withStyleRework` decorator with `@withStyle` and remove `generateComponentTheme`
+- delete `theme.ts`
+
+If tokens are from a different (usually parent) components, add the `componentID` of that component as second paramater of `@withStyle` and use that name in the `generateStyle` function in `style.ts`: `NewComponentTypes['ParentComponentNameWithTheTokens']`
+
+`generateStyle` accepts a third parameter as well, which are the `sharedTokens`. These provide tokens for shared behaviors such as focus rings, shadows or margins. `'@instructure/emotion'` has various util functions that uses these, such as `calcSpacingFromShorthand` and `calcFocusOutlineStyles`.
+
+## Removing View
+
+For some components it makes sense to remove the `View` component underneath the component structure. Most of the time, `View` only provides margins, focus rings, or minor visual aid. These can be replicated - in most cases - by the `sharedTokens` and their utils.
+
+Ideally all occurrences of `View` would be eliminated from the codebase.
+
+## Transforming class based components to functional
+
+The ultimate goal is to migrate all components to functional based ones. Currently it's not a priority and detailed migration guides will be available later. For the time being, `Avatar` or `RadioInput` can be used as starting reference points.

-However you might have noticed from the type definition that a message can be `error` and `newError` type. This is due to compatibility reasons. `error` is the older type and does not meet accessibility requirements, `newError` (hance the name) is the newer and more accessible format.
+The `error` type has been updated to meet accessibility requirements with proper icons and visual styling. Previously, there was a `newError` type that provided this enhanced behavior, but it has been consolidated into the standard `error` type for consistency. `newError` has been deprecated.
 
-We wanted to allow users to start using the new format without making it mandatory, but after the introductory period `newError` will be deprecated and `error` type will be changed to look and behave the same way.
-
-With this update we also introduced the "required asterisk" which will display an `*` character next to field labels that are required. This update is not opt-in and will apply to **all** InstUI form components so if you were relying on a custom solution for this feature before, you need to remove that to avoid having double asterisks.
