In a recent update some controls like the Select control added new functionality with a layout type option
I have maybe ten pages each with their own select controls, which in turn each have their own logic.
What is the best way to update to the new version of this control?
I was also told that the data grid will soon have a ‘Select All’ option and once that is released I’d like to update all of the data grids to use this new functionality.
I’m hoping there is a button somewhere labeled ‘Update Control’ (or something like that) which updates the controls to the newest version without the need to reapply logic and collection bindings.
Most of the time we try to make the new version of our component retrocompatible. This means that when a new version is released, you have nothing to do to have the new version ! This will be the case for the datagrid.
But sometimes, because the data and the implementation are too different, we cannot update the component directly, and instead we release a completly new component. Previous may be mark as “deprecated” or “legacy”. The UiKit of weweb will be updated to use the new component, but all previous one will still be the “old” component version. In this case only a manual update is possible.
We are working for a way to make this smoother with the creation of Reusable Component, but this is a big topic for Q1 next year
