7.6.0 (2024-03-23)

Quick Info

This release upgrades multiple-select-vanilla package (that I also maintained), with a much more modern UI with the use of SVG icons. The SVG icons in that external lib are now also written in pure CSS which helps for Dark Mode (in that mode, the primary color for checked icon is a lighter version of the primary color). Note however that the SVG icons in Slickgrid-Universal are not yet pure CSS since that would introduce breaking changes in Slickgrid-Universal (a new major version will be pushed later on to address that).

⚠️ Custom Editor/Filter should not be newed

Please note that Custom Editor/Filter should never be newed even though the documentation previously said otherwise, this has been corrected in this release via an update on the Column interface, so if you have any of them instantiating that way then please fix them to avoid build errors.

// same goes for Custom Filter
editor: {
  // reference your custom editor class without instantiating it
-  model: new CustomInputEditor()
+  model: CustomInputEditor 
},

⚠️ internalColumnEditor is deprecated and no longer needed

Note that in the past, SlickGrid and Slickgrid-Universal/Angular-Slickgrid were using 2 different references for editor. The original SlickGrid was using editor as a Class to be later instantiated (e.g. Editors.longText) but that wasn't very convenient for the end users (you). For that reason I decided a long time ago to take this editor and reassign to another ref named internalEditor and then SlickGrid kept using editor (read from editor.model) and whenever the user wanted to read the SlickGrid editor after the grid was initialized, the user would have to get it from column.internalEditor (because after the initialization editor is SlickGrid's internal editor class not the one provided by the user), but that was so damn confusing... but now that Slickgrid-Universal is a standalone (no longer relying on 6pac/slickgrid) I decided to get rid of this confusion, so with this new release the editor remains the same to the user but the one used by SlickGrid just got renamed to editorClass. So in summary, editor is the same for the end user and editorClass is what is defined by model: Editors.longText and the internal ref swap that Slickgrid-Universal/Angular-Slickgrid was previously doing is no longer needed internally. Below is an example of when that would be in use

// previously, to add an item to the editor/filter collection 
this.columnDefinitions = [{ id: 'complexity', editor: { model: Editors.singleSelect, collection: [{ value: 1, label: 'Simple' }, /*...*/ ]; }];
// then adding an item would require to read `internalColumnEditor` 
// after grid init, our `editor` became `internalColumnEditor
- const complexityEditor = this.columnDefinitions[0].internalColumnEditor; 
// BUT with this new release, adding a new item to the collection is as simple as 
+ const complexityEditor = this.columnDefinitions[0].editor; 
complexityEditor.collection.push({ value: 9, label: 'Hard' });

// and if you want to read the SlickGrid editor, you would now use
this.columnDefinitions[0].editorClass; // which is the same as `editor.model`
