Nova Flutter for mobile

Explore the new features in the Nova Flutter package, including a fresh SDK, improved lifecycle hygiene, and enhanced accessibility.

Nova React for web

Discover leaner runtimes and standard kebab-case ARIA props in Nova React—now upgraded to React 19. Reduce your install size by making the @visa/nova-icons-react package optional, and remove extra forwardRef wrappers so components use the native ref prop for cleaner code and more accurate TypeScript types.

Nova styles for web

Experience smarter theming, fewer overrides, and better scaling with Core CSS. Adjust dialog spacing instantly with the —v-dialog-margin token, and ensure consistent keyboard focus spacing with the dense list-item pattern. Hybrid themes now automatically follow the operating system’s light/dark setting, with consolidated light and dark styles. All sizing tokens now use rem for accurate icon and text scaling with —theme-scale-factor.
