Even though the summer is in full swing, our team of developers has been working hard to bring you the new version of Webix. Webix 5.4 includes the new WJet utility that will help you start working with Webix Jet, GraphQL and Firestore support, updated SpreadSheet and Scatter chart widgets, and usability improvements for Form Builder and Snippet Tool. Check out the What’s new page for the full list of updates.
GraphQL Support
Webix 5.4 can work with GraphQL due to the new proxy. Now Webix users can make precise queries using GraphQL syntax to fetch detailed information from backend exactly as the client side requests it. The GraphQL proxy also allows saving data back, through GraphQL mutations.
Data Formats for SpreadSheet
Formatting numbers in SpreadSheet has become much friendlier with the new custom format dialogue. Apart from creating arbitrary formats, users can change a built-in format by choosing from options available in the dialogue.
Scatter Chart: Drawing Graphs by Coordinates
Now the Scatter chart can connect points with a line. Optionally, you can close a line into an empty or filled shape. Points are drawn on the chart by their coordinates.
Firestore Support
Following the major update of Firebase, Webix supports integration with Cloud Firestore. Now our users can enjoy real-time data synchronisation and data operations in the offline mode.

WJet Utility for Faster Prototyping in Webix Jet
