The passing year has brought us a lot of positive news: 5 new releases, updated Spreadsheet, accessibility, but it is not all. We have something extra to offer!

We are happy to announce the upcoming major Webix 4.0 release with 4 remarkable updates that you will definitely appreciate: accessibility, Angular 2 compatibility, updated SpreadSheet, new widget, control and improvements.

Hey, guys!

Let’s be clear, have you also been affected by Pokemania? How many Pikachus have you caught by now? 😉 Yes, we also were exploring the streets, but not at working hours, when we were preparing the release of Webix 3.4. Don’t miss it, the launch day is the 26th of July.

What to expect from our new Webix 3.4 update?

Both under GPL license and in PRO edition:

1) Webix Remote for PHP and NodeJS (built-in solution for tight integration between the server-side and client-side code);

2)  Month and Year pickers;

3)  API to hide/show options in Tabbar and Form controls;

Only in PRO edition:

4)  Four new sparkline types (Bar, Area, Splice and Pie) for DataTable and TreeTable;

5)  Formatting patterns for Form inputs;

6)  Frozen rows feature for DataTable;

and, of course, lots of other updates and bug fixes.

Hi guys!

Today, we will continue highlighting the most useful articles for the newcomers that have been published in the first half of this year.

Webix TreeMap – Power of Visualization

Still don’t know how to visualize your data? With the help of Webix TreeMap we will show you how! Webix TreeMap is a powerful widget that can display hierarchical data on a proportional basis. It is interactive, easy to read and quick to analyze.

Since the beginning of 2015 many useful articles have been published. In the meantime, a lot of new customers joined Webix. So, why not to refresh our memory (for those, who forgot) and to share (for those, who are new) 5 most interesting articles of the first half of this year.

Navigate your way. Sidebar and Sidemenu

If you’re wondering how you can simplify navigation in your application, this article is definitely for you! Two extensions – Sidebar and Sidemenu will make your life easier during application navigation. While having similar appearance, they differ in their behavior. Sidebar menu is a Tree-based widget intended for creating collapsible menu bars out of complex hierarchical data. Sidemenu is Window-based, can be attached to any side of the screen and is able to contain any view inside it.

Hey guys!

It is a mid-spring and it’s time to update. Only 5 days are left before Webix 3.3 release!

What to expect from our new release:

1. full support for drag-and-drop functionality on touch devices;
2. additional layout types (PRO version);
3. Sparklines in DataTable (PRO version) – tiny inline charts, placed into datatable cells to visualize data;
4. updated JavaScript File manager look;
5. improved formula editor in JavaScript Spreadsheet;
6. improved Export to PDF and Excel;
7. and of course, lots of bug fixes and improvements.

Whoop whoop, finally Batman vs Superman is on the screen. But what we really expect is the new Iron Man against Captain America ( you can guess from the picture who we are cheering for) 🙂

This spring several films about superheroes will appear on the screen. Being inspired by this fact, we have decided to conduct a brief overview of our own heroes – Webix extensions, including a new widget – Spreadsheet which has recently joined the team.

Spreadsheet

Haven’t heard about THIS cool widget yet? We can tell you about it! Webix SpreadSheet is a JavaScript and HTML5 widget that can be used for building easy-to-use and feature-rich spreadsheets. The widget is similar to Excel or spreadsheet in Google docs. Being fully client-side it can load data either from plain JSON or database or even Excel document.

Hey everyone!

New week, new beginning. The number of our subscribers and customers is growing, and we are certainly pleased with that. 🙂 But the more customers appear, the more questions are asked. As a result, the idea of creating a series of articles considering answers on questions related to a particular topic was born. Today we’ll speak about Webix License.

There are a couple of ways of how you can get our product:

1. you can download free Trial version, to start and to try our Pro Edition, which has advanced functionality, goes under Webix Developer license and can be distributed in commercial projects. You can use Webix trial version for 1 month only.;
2. you can download Standard Edition, which has standard functionality, goes under Open source (GNU GPLv3) and can’t be distributed in not open source projects;
3. and finally, you can purchase any of our existing licenses, receive an email with the link, download the package and start developing.

Hey guys!

I’m sure that all of you already feel the smell of an upcoming spring, while we definitely feel the approach of the first major update in this year – Webix 3.2, which is scheduled for release on February 24th.

What we are going to share:

• SpreadSheet widget – a new great widget, which is similar to Excel or spreadsheet in Google docs;
• undo functionality – to revert data changes within all data components;
• export to PDF for all data components;
• and, of course, plenty of fixes and small improvements.
