v8.5.0 - Infinite Scroll

8.5.0 (2024-08-07)

Release Info

This new release adds the Infinite Scroll feature and with it adds not just 1 but 3 new examples to cover all use cases (read the new Infinite Scroll docs for more info)

1. Example 38 - with OData Backend
2. Example 39 - with GraphQL Backend
3. Example 40 - with JSON data (local)

Infinite scrolling allows the grid to lazy-load rows from the server when reaching the scroll bottom (end) position. In its simplest form, the more the user scrolls down, the more rows get loaded. If we reached the end of the dataset and there is no more data to load, then we'll assume to have the entire dataset loaded in memory. This contrast with the regular Pagination approach which will only hold a single page data at a time.

Features

• Infinite Scroll for Backend Services (OData/GraphQL) (#1244) (c19ddbb) - by @ghiscoding
• Infinite Scroll for JSON data (#1245) (a982443) - by @ghiscoding

v8.2.0

8.2.0 (2024-06-18)

New Release Info

This new release brings Filter Shortcuts that once defined will be added as sub-menus the Column Header Menu. These shortcuts are nothing new in terms of what you can already do with Column Filters, however the main reason to use them is to define some filters with simple logic, for example give me all the Blanks or Non-Blanks Values or even better filter the last 6 months data. For more info and demo, take a look at:

• Example 6 - Filter "Next 20 days" with Date Range
• Example 15 - Filter "Description" Blanks/Non-Blanks and "Start" Until Now/Future
• Read the Filter Shortcuts docs on how to use it

Lastly there's also a new Example 37 which is showing Column Totals in the grid Footer (the code was taken from an old SlickGrid example).

Features

• add Footer Totals Row and fix footer styling (#1224) (f1ae45c) - by @ghiscoding
• add new optional filterShortcuts to Column Filter (#1223) (d4b1e28) - by @ghiscoding
• paste multiline content as single cell (3e74491) - by @ghiscoding

v8.1.0 - Filter Predicates

8.1.0 (2024-06-08)

New Release Info

This new release brings a ton of new features and most of the new feature ideas came from this great Stack Overflow question Angular Slickgrid - Custom Filter which the user asked if it was possible to create a custom filter as SQL LIKE. So, from this idea in mind and considering that we already had a sortComparer for custom Sorting but no ways to customize Filtering, now let's work around this idea shall we?

• filterPredicate for local JSON dataset (see Example 32 for SQL LIKE demo)
• new filterQueryOverride which is the filter override for Backend Services (OData / GraphQL)
• new OperatorType.custom that can be used with above custom filter predicate/override
• new Operator a*z (StartsWith & EndsWith combo) available for local JSON dataset and Backend Services
• new Top-Header panel which now allows the user to use both Draggable Grouping and Header Grouping together, this just wasn't possible before (see Example 18)

This new release also brings a lot of improvements to the Excel Export with a new Example 36 which demos how to dynamically use Excel Formulas (e.g. Sums), you can even use Excel Formulas with Grouping to do Sums, isn't it awesome!? Let's just say that pretty much everything you can do in excel-builder-vanilla, you can probably do in Slickgrid-Universal.

A huge thanks to @zewa666 and @jr01 for their contributions & feedback to add some of these new features and fixes. 🚀

v8.0.1

8.0.1 (2024-05-12)

Bug Fixes

• small styling issues & better primary color support w/Dark Mode (#1204) (9636a5b) - by @ghiscoding

v8.0.0 - Modern UI

8.0.0 (2024-05-10)

New Major 8.0 Release

This new release brings a lot of changes oriented toward better UI/UX, our SVG icons are now pure CSS and can be colorized like any other text via the native CSS color property (which helped a lot improving the Dark Mode Theme).

Another noticeable UI change is the migration of the date picker from Flatpickr to Vanilla-Calendar-Pro, this new library has ESM support, it has modern styling and an awesome UI/UX. Another change that is mostly internal but is also indirectly connected to the date picker is the migration from MomentJS to Tempo which is a new modern lib and is also packaged as ESM which is great for Tree Shaking. Lastly DOMPurify is now optional, giving you the choice to install it or to use something else like isomorphic-dompurify for SSR support... Please note that even if it is now optional, we strongly suggest that you install it nonetheless that is if you want to stay secure and CSP compliant (see migration below for more info).

I believe that with all of these recent changes, the project is pretty much feature complete and you should not expect any new major releases for a long time (hopefully) which is also why I decided to require Angular 18 as soon as it came out.

Note

Follow the Migration to 8.0 for all the changes

v7.7.0

7.7.0 (2024-04-20)

Quick Info

This new release adds 2x new grid options defaultEditorOptions and defaultFilterOptions so that user can define global Editor/Filter options instead of having to duplicate same options on each column editorOptions/filterOptions. An example is shown below.

• Note: for defaultFilterOptions, we use the same keys as the Editor (date, select, slider, ...) but please note that these 3 filters options have combined options into 1 prop for compound & range filters (e.g. date is for both compoundDate and dateRange filter options).

this.gridOptions = {
  defaultEditorOptions: { 
    autocompleter: { debounceWaitMs: 150 }, // auto-typed as AutocompleterOption
    date: { minDate: 'today' },
    longText: { cols: 50, rows: 5 } 
  }
}

⚠️ Breaking Change (Aurelia 2 - Beta.15)

Please note that I upgraded Aurelia 2 to Beta 15 which has breaking changes with @decorator, so if you want to update Aurelia-Slickgrid, you will to also upgrade Aurelia 2 Beta 15. The changes are as following (also remove decorators from tsconfig.json)

- constructor(@I18N private readonly i18n: I18N) {
+ constructor(private readonly i18n: I18N = resolve(I18N)) {

• add global defaultEditorOptions & defaultFilterOptions (#1183) (eefca81) - by @ghiscoding
