Glide Data Grid 6.0.3

Fun fact: this release was done while riding in a 737 MAX. If this is the last release of GDG ever I pray I shorted Boeing on the way down. I guess this also puts me in the mile high npm club? Hurrah.

Improvements

• src now included in the package to make sure sourcemaps work
• readonly no longer sometimes ignore by uri cell, thanks @lukasmasuch
• Fixed the focus ring sometimes being clipped
• There is now an API editOnType to control if the overlay editor can be triggered by simply typing or not.

Glide Data Grid 6.0.2

New Features

• Add multiselect cell
• Add support for circular checkboxes in row marker
• Add ability to configure the editor bloom amount

Enhancement

• Bump react-select version

Bug Fixes

• Fix issue where highlight regions would sometimes not show when center region is only 1 column wide
• Trailing row no longer selectable via DND when not sticky
• onItemHovered no longer emitted when resizing a column, thanks @BrianHung
• FIx bug where disabling the focus ring did not disable the background color
• Fix a clipping issue when vertical borders are not drawn
• Add ability to have a hover effect on text cells to preview editing

Glide Data Grid 6.0.1

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug where headers would not always redraw when animating
• Fix full API docs link, thank you @alistairholt

Glide Data Grid 6.0.0

🚨 Breaking Changes

New dependency

• canvas-hypertxt bumped to 1.0.3
• @linaria/react now added as dep (extremely tiny)

✌️ Farewell create react app 4

CRA 4 is no longer officially supported. While it is definitely possible to make it work, it may require extra work. CRA 5 works fine.

🚢 Better exports

Exports for Glide Data Grid are now done in a more standard esm compliant manner. This should enable better tree shaking.

🧼 Cell API cleanup

Some cells have had minor tweaks to their API to bring them in line with standard conventions. The ImageCell and all the cells in the cells package now uses the standard readonly flag.

👋 Minimap removed

The minimap was awesome, and largely unused. It has been removed from this version of Glide Data Grid in the service of smaller packages and a more maintainable surface area. We appreciate your service 🫡

🎨 drawCell callback improved.

The drawCell callback now receives a callback argument which paints the standard cell. This allows dramatically more flexibility with custom under and overdrawing of cells. It is also now a void method eliminating a source of confusion.

const drawCell: DrawCellCallback = React.useCallback(
    (args, draw) => {
      // Draw something below the cell drawing
      draw()
      // Draw something on top of the cell drawing
}, [])

🎉 New Features

💪 Kinetic super scroll on iOS

Are you the one person presenting data grids to your mobile users? This feature is for you. GDG will now artificially boost the framerate during kinetic scroll on iOS to maintain a smooth experience. This is still experimental, but if feedback goes well we intend to promote this to stable.

    return (
        <DataEditor
            {...otherProps}
            experimental={{
                kineticScrollPerfHack: true,
            }}
        />
    );

🏁 Performance improvements when updating lots of data at once

Damage rendering now is 2x faster than the 5.0 series. This is enabled by reducing the amount of clipping during a damage pass. This improvement is what has made the DOOM easter egg on the main site possible. The easter egg may also be the reason for the improvement...

🌐 UriCell improvements

The URI cell supports drawing an underscore on hovering a URI value via the hoverEffect property. It also supports click events (e.g., to open the URL) via the onUriClick property and uses the displayData within the cell rendering.

⚽️ Add support for rounding radius in the theme

Configure the rounding radii of checkboxes, bubbles, skeletons, images, buttons, and other rounded elements via the optional roundingRadius theming property.

🤕 Header menu icons can now be configured

Customize the header menu icon via the menuIcon property in GridColumn. It supports triangle for the default menu icon, dots for the three-dots menu icon, or a key of one of the icons passed to the headerIcons prop.

📈 Sparkline cell now supports even more charts

The line graphKind got renamed to area. The new line chart now renders just a simple line chart. Additionally, the x-axis can be hidden via hideAxis.

🥶 Freeze trailing rows

Get going by specifying the number of freeze trailing rows you want.

    return (
        <DataEditor
            {...otherProps}
            freezeTrailingRows={2}
        />
    );

💀 LoadingCell skeletons

The loading cell can be configured to show skeletons when skeletonWidth is set to a value > 0. The height can be configured via the optional skeletonHeight property, and it also supports a randomized variability applied to the width via skeletonWidthVariability.

⌨️ Fully remappable keybindings

Keybindings can now be remapped instead of just turned off and on. More details here.

🪤 Focus trapping

There is now a trapFocus prop that will cause the grid to prevent focus leaving the grid during caret browsing or pressing tab.

🙅‍♀️ Prevent column reordering

Reordering of columns can now be prevented as new column locations are proposed using the new onColumnProposeMove callback. This allows for greater control over where users are allowed to drag columns.

💾 Copy and paste methods now available

The copy and paste functionality of the data grid is now exposed for direct usage by developers.

🌲 Tree view cell

This cell represents the basic building block required to make collapsable and groupable rows. We will continue to improve support for row grouping in the rest of the 6.0.0 series.

⬇️ Dropdown cell improvements

Allow specifying label and value independently in dropdown cell and some other visual improvements.

🚀 Improvements

💍 Improved drawing of highlight and selection rings

When the selection ring or a highlight ring is at the right or bottom edge of the grid it will no longer be clipped out.

🦏 Safari performance improvements

Safari now renders around 2 to 5 times faster on mobile devices. Less hitching, better grids, papa johns.

🔦 Large highlight region support

Prior to 6.0.0 large highlight regions could cause excessively slow drawing performance. This is no longer a problem.

🔍 Search no longer renders eagerly

Don't use the search? No problem. You no longer pay the penalty for something you don't need.

🏁 Mouse hover render reduction

Hovering with the mouse no longer results in excessive react rendering.

👓 Hover interactions now can discern blank spots of grid from outside of grid

More details here: #811

↔️ Resize column indicator

There is a new column resize indicator. It can be configured via the resizeIndicatorColor theme property.

☕️ Fill handle improvements

• Controllable selection behavior
• FillPattern support
• Larger fill handle click region
• New visual representation

🔲 Get the bounds of the entire scroll area

If getBounds get called with col and row as undefined, the bounding box of the entire data grid scroll area is returned.

🔚 Odds and ends

• GDG now prefixes most of the css classes it uses to avoid conflicting with commonly used names.
• Page up and down keybindings are now on by default

🐞 Bug Fixes

• onDelete now properly called when doing a cut operation.
• Fixed a crasher caused by attemping to draw negative radius arcs.
• Fix a bug where getBounds would compute for the wrong cell.
• Fixed multiple bugs where strict mode would be violated
• Horizontally center bubble cell editor to align with cell rendering.
• Fix copy escaping for array values.
• Fix issues with paste logic.
• Fix text cell editor color in Safari.
• Fix jittering issue with grow columns.
• Use the configured padding for measuring of number, row-id, dropdown and date-picker cells.
• Fix sparkline chart error related to arrays with less than 3 values.
