What's new in JS DataViews 2.1.2

The library registers the Grid class as a web component. You can use the tag to create the control.

When instantiated as a web component, the control creates required HTML elements as internal shadow DOM. You can get the JavaScript object corresponding to a web component by calling the find method with id argument.

<mindfusion-grid id="grid">
</mindfusion-grid>

var dv = MindFusion.DataViews;
var grid = dv.Grid.find("grid");
grid.model = new dv.ArrayModel(participants, columns, "index");

What's new in JS DataViews 2.1

The DataViews module now includes a Property Grid providing user interface for browsing and editing the properties of an object. The PropertyGrid control can be bound to any object or an array of objects as specified by its selectedObject property. If showAllProperties is set to true, the control enumerates all properties and fields of the object and its prototype chain, resolves their data types and displays their name and value in a grid layout. If showAllProperties is set to false, only properties and fields included in the metaData dictionary are displayed.

React support

The GridView React component allows integrating the MindFusion.DataViews API into React applications. It is a wrapper component for the Grid control, handles the rendering and keeps its DOM in sync with React’s virtual DOM. Grid properties can be set from JSX, and grid events can be handled through JSX syntax as well.
