WEBIX JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY BLOG

Spring is a time of great changes and endless possibilities! This spring a new Webix version 2.3 has also brought plenty of useful updates and new features.

Webix team has been working hard on adding advanced features and responding to all the great feedback from the Webix Community. Version 2.3 comes with entirely new components such as Organogram and Barcode along with a fresh material skin, TypeScript support and other cool enhancements.

Material Design

Everybody talks about material design. First of all, people discuss it as it was developed by Google. Secondly, it looks really nice and simplifies end users’ work with apps. So Webix is also on-trend and now it can boast of its new attractive Material skin.

The interface of this skin is clean, clear and responsive, the colors for highlighting controls are bright. No excessive elements. Thus, end users will be entirely concentrated on the key issues of your app.

Since version 2.3 it is possible to apply the Material skin to your web app built with Webix. This skin won’t be included in a library package but can be taken from a separate repository at github.com.

We are happy to inform you about the update of Webix UI library. The new version 2.2 introduces plenty of new handy features and lots of other significant improvements.

New Buttons in Calendar

Version 2.2 has brought new optional “Clear” and “Today” buttons to the Calendar widget.
The button “Today” makes it possible to view the current calendar date. The “Clear” control is intended for removing the date selection.

These buttons will be visible by default. If you need to hide these controls, you can easily do it with one codeline.

We are glad to inform you about the update of Webix to version 2.1. This release presents a wide range of features. Most of them are aimed to improve the current compatibility of the Webix widgets with frameworks, libraries and browsers. Version 2.1 also includes some UI improvements and general bug fixes.

Compatibility with Bootstrap

Since version 2.1, Webix runs with Bootstrap, a popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework, even better, which allows you to build nice web apps which contain beautiful elements.

Good news from Webix team! The release of new Webix 2.0 is ready! It is a serious version number that’s why we’ve prepared lots of useful updates for you.

Enhanced DataTable

Most Webix widgets have been updated but DataTable has undergone the greatest improvements . Let’s start with it.

Now it has such cool features as:

• Rowspan and Colspan
• Header menu
• Advanced editors
• Grouped columns
• Saving current state
• Advanced filter
• Vertical header
• Custom height for footers and headers

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:

• starting with version 1.10 Webix is IE12 ready. Despite this version of IE hasn’t been released yet, all widgets of Webix UI already support it.
• we have updated the documentation. Now it includes more articles, less typos and new mobile-friendly design. We hope that you’ll evaluate the look of our new documentation as well as its enhanced usability.
