New Progress Kendo UI Release Adds Capabilities for jQuery, Angular, React and Vue, Plus Major Enhancements Across the Board

Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and digital experience technologies, today announced the latest release of Progress Kendo UI, the most complete UI toolkit for web development. Today’s release includes a series of new components for jQuery, Angular, React and Vue as well as major enhancements for some of its most popular existing components.

jQuery
With the latest release of Kendo UI toolkit, Progress is introducing two new components – PDF Viewer and Drawer as well as major enhancements to existing components:

• The PDF Viewer enables developers to host PDF files within the app without downloading them to local machines first. The component can work with both PDF.js and the Telerik Document Processing Library to process the PDF files for viewing and exporting. An added virtualization feature also ensures that even the largest PDF files can be displayed in the component.
• The Drawer widget, a standard for navigating web applications, can either be overlaid on top of existing content or moved to the side of content. Its elements can be customized to have their own layout templates and feature the ability to display a more compact layout, called “mini” mode, which shows only the menu items’ icons. Kendo UI also now offers zero-day support for jQuery 3.4.0.
• Existing components with major new enhancements include the Spreadsheet widget, which now has image support, cell comments and a large expansion of its events. The ListView now includes endless scrolling and the Menu offers data binding. The mobile experience for multiple components has been improved. The adaptive behavior of Grid and Scheduler has been expanded and the mobile support for the DateRangePicker has been improved.

Angular

• Kendo UI now offers Angular ColorPicker to provide either a drop-down or expanded widget to let developers select colors within Angular applications. This can be done by providing a predefined color palette for users to choose from or a gradient, which offers more flexibility for picking a specific color.
• The Angular Scheduler component has received several new features, including multi-day and week views, along with resizing and drag-and-drop support.
• Another UI component, the Editor, now has a large array of tools to manipulate its content.
• Other Angular components that saw enhancements include the Dropdown components, which received new major features and WCAG 2.1 support.
