release

Today we released AdapTable 22.0, the latest version of our market-leading AG Grid extension.

AdapTable 22.0 is a major release and supports AG Grid v.35.0

Breaking Change

Like all releases, AdapTable 22.0 contains many new user-requested features including:

The main focus in AdapTable 22 is a cleaner and more intuitive User Interface, which developers can enhance and extend with custom themes and colour schemes.

We've introduced Action Column Commands which hook into our Row Forms, enabling our users to edit data quickly, efficiently and safely.

And we now support saving the order of Pivot Result Columns - the most common request from our advanced financial clients and something not available in any competing product.

Action Column Commands

AdapTable Version 22 includes a convenient, new feature: Action Column Command Buttons.

Note

Action Column Buttons are essentially a time-saving combination of 2 existing AdapTable features:

  • Action Columns - in which they are specialised buttons
  • Row Forms - designed to safely and easily create, clone, edit and delete Rows

AdapTable provides 4 Action Column Commands:

CommandAction when Clicked
createOpens the Create Row Form
cloneOpens the Clone Row Form
editOpens the Edit Row Form
deleteTriggers the (non-visible) Delete Row Form

Action Column Command Buttons can be created with just few lines of code:

  actionColumnOptions: {
    actionColumns: [
      {
        columnId: 'action',
        friendlyName: 'Actions',
        actionColumnButton: [{ command: 'edit' }, { command: 'delete' }],
      },
    ],
  },

Like all AdapTable functionalities, Action Column Commands are highly configurable and can be:

  • placed in any column in any position in the Grid
  • given custom icons
  • provided with an optional label
  • pinned
  • disabled (or hidden) on a per-row basis

Layouts

Version 22 contains a number of user-requested enhancements to Layouts.

Note

Layouts are central to AdapTable, managing Column behaviour and properties in Table and Pivot views

Layout Editor

The Layout Editor (the UI Component which creates Layouts) has been given a makeover.

In particular, it is much easier to see the properties of a Column, and make any required edits.

Extended Layouts

Extended Layouts allow users to associate other functionalities in AdapTable - typically styles, formats and custom sorts - to a given Layout.

We have added a range of functions to Layout API which enable Extended Layouts to be more easily shared, cloned and displayed.

Pivot Result Columns

It is now possible to save the order of Pivot Result Columns.

Note

  • Pivot Result Columns are the unique combination of a Pivot Column Value and Aggregation Column
  • AG Grid creates them dynamically when the Grid is Pivoted and their order is not normally saved

This was the most popular request from our advanced financial users.

only Aggregation Function

AdapTable 22 contains a new `only` aggregation function available in Grouped Layouts.

Note

This is in addition to the ONLY aggregation function in AdapTableQL, used in Calculated Columns

The function returns a value if there is one, and only one, result in the aggregated data.

Hint

  • Layouts also support the aggFuncs provided by AG Grid (sum, avg, min, max, count, first, last)
  • And additionally WEIGHT which is provided by AdapTable to support Weighted Averages

DevTools Chrome Profiler

Profiling in AdapTable has improved dramatically with the new, custom Chrome DevTools profiler.

It provides a number of useful profiling tools, including stacktraces to give developerss a better sense of the timings of various operations in AdapTable.

Note

The profiler also shows correlations between user actions, browser events and the AdapTable instance

AdapTable shows up in Chrome DevTools Performance Profiler tracks

The following tracks are available:

  • Init - shows timing and performance for the init phase
  • Runtime - various actions that can happen at runtime (more to follow in due course)
  • Redux - reflects every Redux action that AdapTable dispatches internally and long it took
  • LayoutManager - Layout specific updates - interactions with the underlying AG Grid instance

React Hooks

AdapTable React now provides custom React Hooks.

These are available for developers to leverage in their React components.

There are, currently, 3 React Hooks available:

Hiding AdapTable UI

AdapTable 22 provides 2 companion functions to hide and show the AdapTable UI.

Hint

  • These functions enable developers to create a single package containing AdapTable and AG Grid
  • And then each individual application and DataGrid can hide / show AdapTable as required

These functions will hide / show all AdapTable UI components:

Note

The one exception is AdapTable's Column Filtering components, which remain in operation throughout

UI Changes

Version 22 includes many changes and improvements to the AdapTable UI including:

  • the introduction of tailwind
  • using CSS Layers
  • changes to CSS Variables (primarily removable of redundant items)

Note

  • These changes are primarily internal and won't directly affect the user experience
  • But they make it easier for developers to extend the AdapTable UI and provide custom themes
