Request for Updated JavaScript Files Compatible with Latest Axios Version in Metronic 8 Theme

If you are using an older Metronic 8 release, I would avoid replacing plugins.bundle.js directly with a file from a newer release. The bundled plugins can depend on specific versions of other Metronic components.

The safer approach is to check the latest Metronic 8 package from KeenThemes and identify which Axios version is included in your specific release. If the project allows it, Axios can also be updated separately and the bundle rebuilt rather than swapping the entire plugins.bundle.js.

I would also recommend checking the Axios changelog and testing the application after the upgrade, especially if the theme uses Axios APIs or interceptors that may have changed between versions.

If your license is still active, KeenThemes support may be able to provide the appropriate updated package for your Metronic 8 version rather than using a bundle from a different release.

Hi there,

Understanding

You're using Metronic 8 Demo 60 and need to upgrade Axios to version 1.15.0 or later due to security vulnerabilities detected in your current plugins.bundle.js file.

Solution

The latest Metronic v8 release is v8.3.3 (Bootstrap), which includes Axios v1.13.2. We do not currently ship an official Metronic v8 build with Axios 1.15.0 or later.

To upgrade Axios manually:

1. Update to Metronic v8.3.3 if you haven't already - this includes the latest security fixes for our bundled version.

2. For manual Axios upgrade, you'll need to rebuild the plugins bundle:

# Navigate to your Metronic v8 root directory
cd metronic

# Update Axios in package.json
npm install axios@latest

# Rebuild the plugins bundle
npm run build

3. Alternative approach - Replace the Axios file directly:

# Download the latest Axios
curl -L https://github.com/axios/axios/releases/download/v1.18.1/axios.min.js -o assets/plugins/global/axios.min.js

# Update the plugins.bundle.js to reference the new file
# (This requires rebuilding the bundle with Gulp)

Important notes:

• Metronic v8 uses Gulp for asset bundling. You'll need Node.js LTS (v14.x recommended) to rebuild.
• The plugins bundle includes many other dependencies. Updating only Axios may cause compatibility issues with other plugins.
• We recommend testing thoroughly after any manual updates to ensure all Metronic features work correctly.
