It is believed that one of the most boring tasks in web-development is a form creating. Nowadays nearly any web app contains at least one form inside. The process of creating them over and over again isn’t much fun. That’s why we have created Form Builder.
This tool is intended to speed up the process of form creating. You just need to define the necessary fields as well as the desired form layout and then customize the auto generated form through the visual editor.
Today it is the time for our monthly Webix updates. This new version 1.10 doesn’t include any great features for now, only a few bug fixes and small updates. You can check the full list of changes here.
Though we can’t boast an abundance of new features, we still have two major news:

Despite it is summer and the thermometer says it’s time go at the seaside we are actively preparing for the release of Webix 2.0. There a lot of plans for the next library version and we implement them little by little.
In general, the new version 2.0 will deliver an improved performance, plenty of new features, UI improvements and a smoother behaviour. In this article it goes about a few of them.
With Webix multi-text inputs, it will be possible to create a form where a user will be able to add multiple entries dynamically and submit them simultaneously.
On pressing ‘+’ icon, an additional text input will be created and added to the form. And on pressing ‘-‘ icon, the input will be removed.
We are glad to introduce the release of Webix UI 1.9, a JavaScript library for building fast desktop and mobile apps. The new version includes some UI improvements that speed up apps development as well as enhancements of the skins and some bug fixes.
The hotkey functionality was initially included in the Webix API. But you could implement hotkeys for controls only by using custom functions.
With the new version of the library, you get the possibility to define hotkeys for controls (inputs, buttons) in one line of code. Pressing a hotkey is fully equal to clicking on the corresponding input/control. It will bring focus to the input and invoke all the attached click handlers.
Today Webix has been updated to the version 1.8 that brings some pleasant bonuses for our users. The new version includes UI improvements, bug fixes and a few techniques for building responsive apps.
Previously when you were developing Webix web apps for desktop you had a problem with adapting the same app for the mobile devices. These desktop web apps had screens too wide for mobile apps.
So in Webix 1.8 we’ve added 2 features that will make your web apps responsive and improve user experience on both desktop and mobile devices.
Let’s consider the responsive web app made with Webix to show you this functionality.
Here is the screenshot of desktop web app:
Today our team is happy to announce the release of Webix 1.7 that includes a new appealing default skin, support for multiselect on touch devices, some UI improvements and bug fixes.
A new skin looks and runs great on both desktop and mobile devices. It is styled in a flat design that will make your web apps look trendy and user-friendly.
The main colors of Webix 1.7 skin are sky blue, snow-white ( the color of background), bright green (the color of controls and selection) and dark grey. This color palette reflects the vibrant colors of spring nature that will cheer up your users. To evaluate the flat skin please check our Webix demo.
Good news! The installation of Webix is becoming easier. From today the library can be installed with the help of NuGet or Bower dependency management tools.
NuGet is a package manager for the Microsoft development platform. You can install Webix by executing the following command line:
If you are a user of Microsoft Visual Studio, you should run the next command from Package Manager Console:
Today we are thrilled to announce a new version of Webix.
Webix 1.6 runs properly on Windows 8 touch devices and supports drag-and-drop operations on all kinds of touch devices. Version 1.6 also brings several UI improvements and enhancements in server-side integration.
After improving the work of the library on iOS and Android mobile devices we’ve passed on to enhancement of Webix support for Windows 8 touch devices.
Now you can develop web apps that support Windows 8 touch devices and show high performance.
Modern project managers need a fast and easy-to-use tool that will allow them to manage projects: add new tasks, set time limits for them, create different relationships between the set tasks and etc.
Update of October 8, 2020
With the release of Webix 8.0 the original JavaScript Gantt Chart component has become available. Now Webix users can enjoy the native Webix Gantt. This component is created according to the canons of the Webix framework and it is intended for the integration into any business applications regardless of their architecture and system platform.
If you want to add JavaScript charts with main Pivot Table functions to your web app, you can use Webix Pivot Chart. This powerful component shows data series, categories and chart axes the same way a widget JavaScript Charts does and provides you with interactive filtering controls for quick dataset analyzing.
Pivot Chart delivers various types of charts: line and spline chart, area chart, bar chart, pie chart, 3d pie chart, donut chart, scatter chart, and radar chart.
