Key updates October 2024

CXBOX (Demo)

Changed: Grouping Hierarchy widget - compact look

Hierarchies now expanded in a more compact way. If grouping fields are empty or contain a single item, the hierarchy displays as expanded by default, reducing unnecessary clicks.

AfterBefore

Added: Grouping Hierarchy widget - default hierarchy

You can now (optionally) provide default hierarchy structure, that will be displayed even, when widget has no data

After: with Default HierarchyBefore: no Default Hierarchy

If data is provided from backend, frontend merges it with the default hierarchy. Default hierarchy and all data from backend are guarantied to be shown

After: default hierarchy and data from backendBefore: just data from backend

Added: Info widget - field title mode

We have updated the info widget display options for both single-column and multi-column layouts. You can now set titleMode to left or top in the settings. The default is left for backward compatibility

Title Left (default)Title Top

Added: Money field - currency support

The Money field now supports currency. Constant currency value per widget field is supported in this release. Dynamic and editable currency value support will be added in next releases

AfterBefore

Added: Checkbox field - placeholder support

We have added placeholder support for checkbox. The value set for placeholder will be displayed on the right next to the checkbox itself. Note that it will not disappear once you click on the checkbox.

Added: FormPopup widget - multiple popups support

It is now possible to set different FormPopup widgets for different buttons on the same bc/widget.

Changed: Checkbox field - uniformed look

We have improved the checkbox look by aligning it with other field types

CXBOX (Core Ui)

Changed: Improved data loading logic for child components with hidden parent

CXBOX 4.0.0-M10 (Core)

Added: FieldMetaBuilder class - getParentField() method support

This update makes getParentField() method available in FieldMetaBuilder. We have also introduced a new method getBc() in FieldMetaBuilder and *ResponseService classes

Added: FieldMetaBuilder class - defaultGroupingHierarchy method support

Example 1: explicitly provided default hierarchy tree (grouped by two Enum fields document and then briefing):

fields.defaultGroupingHierarchy(
MeetingDocumentsDTO_.document,
MeetingDocumentsDTO_.briefing,
lvl -> lvl
  .add(
    Documents.POLICY,
    lvl2 -> lvl2
      .add(Briefings.PROJECT)
      .add(Briefings.SECURITY)
   )
  .add(
    Documents.COMPLIANCE
  )
);

Example 2: dynamically provided default hierarchy tree. Can be convenient, when default hierarchy structure is configurable through admin UI, so needed to be loaded from DB/microservice:

Map<Documents, Set<Briefings>> external = Map.of(
 Documents.REFERENCE, Set.of(Briefings.FINANCIAL, Briefings.PROJECT),
 Documents.POLICY, new HashSet<>()
);
fields.defaultGroupingHierarchy(
 MeetingDocumentsDTO_.document,
 MeetingDocumentsDTO_.briefing,
 lvl1 -> external.entrySet().stream().collect(Hierarchy.toHierarchy(
   Entry::getKey,
   (doc, lvl2) -> doc.getValue().stream().collect(Hierarchy.toHierarchy(brief -> brief))
  )
 )
);
