“Never judge a book by its cover”, — my teacher told me many a time, but still I cannot deny that good design opens all doors, especially in web development. Since colorful and motley interfaces passed into oblivion long time ago, font and icons became a small but significant detail that can add a unique aesthetic touch to web apps. In this article we will speak about conventional ways of altering font and icons within Webix widgets.
Webix has never been just a javascript library. At first sight it looks like a static collection of widgets and ties between them, but an experienced eye will easily trace the system of reusable mixins and UI components. At the same time, Webix API allows anybody build homemade but fully functional tools. In this article we will cast the light on the peculiarities of prototyping in Webix and create an Office-like ribbon interface.
We are happy to introduce Webix 4.1 UI library with a Gage widget, Rich Text Editor control, and upgrades for Charts widget. This release of Webix JavaScript library will help you to solve the task of displaying dynamic data. You can create a dashboard for monitoring the performance of several resources and even a complex control panel like in a vehicle or weather station. For more information check our previous updates: minor Webix 3.4 and major Webix 4.0.
Web dashboards are in high demand today as they have proven to be a helpful tool for at-a-glance analysis of complex data together with its laconic visual presentation. Although dashboards originated from desktop applications web environment requires something not typical for them – responsiveness. In this article we will find out what Webix has already issued to meet this requirement and build our own flexible web dashboard.
September 27 is the most important day of the year for Webix community — as we have recently announced, it is the date of Webix 4.0 release.
Hey all! Can you already smell the autumn in the air? Alas, the fruitful summer gradually comes to an end, and it’s time to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Webix 🙂 Today I suggest you to brush up your knowledge of data components by uncovering one of the base concepts – DataStore. In the article below you will learn what is hidden behind visual presentation and may pick useful snippets for working with data.
Hey guys!
We are so glad to present our new Webix 3.4 update today! Hope you are still fresh and rested after the weekend and ready to test something new, because definitely we have a bunch of features to show. Here we go!
Establishing communication between a client and a server can be rather a difficult task. While working with a single component it may cause little problem, but any reasonably big app becomes a mess of AJAX calls on the client side and pretty tangled code on the server side.
To make your life easier, Webix 3.4 provides a solution to call server-side code directly from JavaScript.
Hey, guys!
