v8.12.0

8.12.0 (2025-01-21)

Rowspan feature 📢

We already had colspan supported, via DataView ItemMetadataProvider, and now we're also adding support for rowspan as well (which is partially reusing the code from @GerHobbelt's fork that had rowspan). However please be aware that both of these features come with special constraints, any side effects (i.e. Filtering/Sorting/Paging/ColumnReorder/ColumnHidding) will require you to add your own logic to deal with these side effects (this was also true for colspan, so there's nothing new here). In other words the lib doesn't know and cannot guess how and what you want to do with the spanning when a side effect occurs, because colspan/rowspan are, and will always be, based on row indexes and the question arise when a side effect occurs what do you want to do? Do you want to keep the spanning on the same row or do you want to only keep half of it or remove it all? The system cannot guess what you want to do when these side effects happens unless you tell it what to do... so use this new feature with some due diligence.

You can see these 2 new examples demoing rowspan below and also read the Column/Row Spanning documentation

• Rowspan - Employees Timesheets
• Rowspan - Large Dataset

Note: please note that rowspan does not currently work well with Excel/CSV Export and it will be looked into in the near future.

Features

• add rowspan implementation (d583887)

also remember that Slickgrid-Universal monorepo is where the biggest portion of the code exists (~90%), so most of the commits are now happening on that side.

v8.8.1

8.8.1 (2024-09-29)

Release Info

This new release brings a new preParseDateColumns grid option that allows to pre-parse date columns to improve Date column Sorting by a factor of 10x (and also make subsequent sorting extremely fast). The problem at hand is simple, parsing dates can be an expensive process especially for large dataset, but it is required in order to do Date Sorting. When we say parsing we mean reading the formatted date string and convert it to a JS Date object. For small dataset (less than 10K), it's not much of a problem but it becomes quite noticeable with large dataset, because calling a Sort will revisit the same items over and over until every items are fully sorted and without the new option enabled, we are reparsing these items multiple times which as I said earlier can become an expensive task... so with this release, we now have a new opt-in preParseDateColumns grid option (to be used only with large dataset 10K or more, the option IS NOT enabled by default). For more info, please take the time to read the Sorting - Pre-Parse Date Columns documentation. You can test this out via Slickgrid-Universal Example 2 by clicking on "50K rows" button and then try sorting Start/Finish dates.

Features

• option to improve Date Sorting by pre-parsing date items only once (60539e7)

Bug Fixes

• redraw all open row details whenever the grid is re-rendered (fbb5383)
