Remove some low impact APIs that were deprecated on WP 5.3 #34537

This PR removes some old APIs that have a low impact and that were deprecated in 5.3.

  • menuLabel prop in Dropdown menu: without it, the Dropdown menu still works, it just might render a slightly different aria label.
  • position prop: the Dropdown menu still works without it but might have a different position.
  • onClickOutside for Popover component: the component still works without it, it might not close when you click outside it.

I also removed some selectors and actions from the 'core/editor' store after checking that it has no impact based on a wpdirectory.net

There are still other APIs that were deprecated on 5.3 that I decided against removing for now because of their potential impact (we could consider removal in future WP major versions):

  • The TextColumns block
  • The move from wp.editor to wp.blockEditor for some components, selectors and actions
  • the wp.components.ServerSideRender component.

What do you think of my arbitrations here?

The TextColumns block

Should we move it to the post editor so it isn't included on other screens? One thing I'm not sure about is how all those screen-specific blocks would work when saved inside the Reusable block. I guess it's something that should be discussed separately anyway.

I also removed some selectors and actions from the 'core/editor' store after checking that it has no impact based on a wpdirectory.net

Should we take one more step and remove all the logic but keep those functions defined with deprecations for one more major release?

In general, it sounds like a good plan.

I guess you're talking about the core/editor to core/block-editor here, right? I'm not sure yet, there's a lot, so I felt it's a bit too soon for these to break.

I think I misguided you, I was referring to getAutosave, getBlocksForSerialization, hasAutosave, and resetAutosave that got removed. In WordPress core, the approach is to leave an empty function/class definition so PHP doesn't throw a fatal error when it's used. In JavaScript, we can better isolate the change so it isn't mandatory but maybe we want to align the process a bit.

Oh for these, I was pretty confident because I checked wpdirectory and also because they really seem like "core" things and things plugin authors would very rarely use.

Thank you for the cleanup, Riad! I mostly had a look at the changes in @wordpress/components.

onClickOutside for Popover component: the component still works without it, it might not close when you click outside it.

From a quick look at the code, I don't think that before this PR, clicking outside the popover would close the popover itself — maybe I'm missing something? (Or did you mean that the modal could have been with some 3rd party code in the onClickOutside callback?)

Also, I can still see traces of the menuLabel and position deprecated props in the React Native version of DropdownMenu

What do you think of my arbitrations here?

👍 from me. These have been properly marked as deprecated for a while.

I finally got back to this PR and remove the removed props from the native code. I think it's ready.
