13.0.0

Released on June 22, 2023.

For more information on this release, see:

Added

  • Angular: Added support for Angular 16. #10396

Changed

  • Breaking change (React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3): Changed Handsontable’s policy toward older versions of supported frameworks. From now on, Handsontable supports only those versions of any supported frameworks that are officially supported by their respective teams. Dropping Handsontable’s support for any older framework versions won’t be treated as a breaking change. #10396
  • Breaking change: Changed the order in which three hooks are executed: now, the beforeChange hook is fired before the afterSetDataAtCell and afterSetDataAtRowProp hooks. #10231
  • Changed the margins of the context menu in the RTL layout direction. #10375

Removed

  • Breaking change (Angular): Dropped support for Angular 13 and lower. From now on, Handsontable supports only those versions of Angular that are officially supported by the Angular team: currently, it’s 14-16. However, Handsontable 13.0.0 was thoroughly tested and, to the best of our knowledge, works correctly with versions down to Angular 12. #10396
  • Breaking change: Removed the deprecated beforeAutofillInsidePopulate hook. #10407
  • Breaking change: Removed the deprecated getFirstNotHiddenIndex method. Instead, use the getNearestNotHiddenIndex() method. #10407
  • Breaking change: Removed the deprecated parameters of the alter() method: insert_row and insert_col. Instead, use the following parameters: insert_row_above, insert_row_below, insert_col_start, and insert_col_end. #10407
  • Breaking change: Removed the deprecated parameters of the populateFromArray() method: direction and deltas. #10407

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where the “Read only” icon of the context menu displayed incorrectly in the RTL layout direction. #10375

12.4.0

Released on May 23, 2023.

  • Fixed an issue where clicking on a cell scrolled the table sideways in certain RTL configurations. #10206
  • Fixed an issue where calling getDataAtCol() or getDataAtProp() caused an error when the data set had more than 125 000 rows. #10226
  • React: Fixed React 18 warnings about deprecated lifecycle methods. We removed componentWillMount() and componentWillUpdate() from Handsontable’s codebase and recreated their functionality by using React’s portals. #10263

12.0.0

Released on April 28, 2022.

For more information on this release, see:

Added

  • Added ShortcutManager, a new API for customizing keyboard shortcuts. #8942
  • Added support for right-to-left (RTL) languages, by introducing a new configuration option: layoutDirection. #8760
  • Added an Arabic translation. #9208
  • Added a new configuration option: fixedColumnsStart. #8760
  • Added a new keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+Enter) for filling the selected range of cells with the value of the active cell. #9366
  • Added support for the Home and End keys inside cell editors, for moving the cursor to the beginning or end of the text. #9367
  • Added support for the latest Node LTS version. #9149

Changed

  • Breaking change: Changed how updateSettings() handles data updates, to improve performance and the consistency of user experience. Now, when provided with a new data object, updateSettings() updates the data without resetting any states. #7263 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change (React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3): Updating your data through a component property no longer resets your index mapper information and configuration options. #7263 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change: Changed how updatePlugin() reacts to updateSettings() calls, to improve performance and the consistency of user experience. Now, calls to updateSettings() update a plugin’s state only when the options object contains a configuration option that’s relevant to that particular plugin. #9021 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change: Changed the order of execution for two hooks: now, beforeKeyDown is properly fired before afterDocumentKeyDown. #6236 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change: Changed how default keyboard shortcuts are defined, to improve keyboard navigation consistency. Most of the shortcuts did not change and are now properly documented in the keyboard shortcuts guide. However, some shortcuts that were not defined explicitly, and were not listed in the documentation, don’t work anymore (e.g., Enter opens a cell’s editor, but Ctrl+Enter doesn’t). This change doesn’t affect custom keyboard shortcuts. #8942 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change: Split a cross-platform modifier key (Ctrl/Cmd) into two separate keys, to improve keyboard navigation consistency. Now, the Cmd key triggers actions on macOS where the Ctrl key triggers actions on Windows. For example, on macOS, Ctrl+A doesn’t work anymore: Cmd+A is used instead. #9369 [migration guide]
  • Breaking change: Changed the actions of the following keyboard shortcuts, to match the usual spreadsheet software behavior, and provide a more intuitive user experience: Ctrl/Cmd+↑, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+↑, Ctrl/Cmd+↓, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+↓, Ctrl/Cmd+←, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+←, Ctrl/Cmd+→, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+→, Home, Ctrl/Cmd+Home, End, Ctrl/Cmd+End, Shift+Page Up, and Shift+Page Down. #9363 #9364 #9365 [migration guide]
  • Changed two scripts of the main Handsontable workspace (/), to speed up the build process: now, the npm run build and npm run test scripts don’t build or test the Handsontable examples (/examples). #9412
  • Changed the version of the Moment.js dependency from 2.24.0 to 2.29.3, in reaction to a recently-found Moment.js security vulnerability that did not directly affect Handsontable. #9381
  • Changed the version of the HyperFormula optional dependency from ^1.2.0 to ^2.0.0. #9411
  • Changed an internal property name, from handsontableInstance.view.wt to handsontableInstance.view._wt, to make it clear that Walkontable (Handsontable’s rendering engine) is not a part of Handsontable’s public API. #8760

Removed

8.0.0

Released on August 5, 2020.

For more information on this release, see:

Major changes

This version introduces a completely new architecture for row and column management - index mapper, which is responsible for the storage and management of index values. In prior versions, the calculation between physical and visual indexes was based on callbacks between hooks. That solution slowly led to inconsistencies and the calculation was imperfect in some cases. To fix that there was a major change in the whole system of mapping the indexes. The current solution offers an easier and more straightforward way to perform CRUD and move operations on rows and columns. It keeps all data in one place so getting and managing information is easier and less prone to bugs.

The existing features were adapted to benefit from the new architecture. Apart from that, extra methods and hooks were added and there are few depreciations and removals, too.

Breaking changes

  • Modifying the table’s data by reference and calling render() will not work properly anymore. From this point onward, all the data-related operations need to be performed using the API methods, such as populateFromArray or setDataAtCell.
  • The modifyRow, modifyCol, unmodifyRow, unmodifyCol hooks are no longer needed and were removed. Their functionality can be achived by using API. More information in the 8.0.0 migration guide.
  • skipLengthCache hook was removed, indexMapper is now responsible for the cache and length.
  • The ManualColumnFreeze plugin doesn’t use the ManualColumnMove plugin anymore.
  • The CollapsibleColumns plugin doesn’t use the HiddenColumns plugin anymore.
  • The NestedRows and Filters plugins don’t use the TrimRows plugin anymore.
  • The minSpareRows and minRows options will ensure that the number of visible rows corresponds to the value provided to them (for example, the TrimRows plugin won’t have an impact on the number of displayed rows).
  • toPhysicalRow and toVisualColumn now return null for non-existant rows/columns. #5945).
  • The afterLoadData hook receives a different set of arguments. It used to be just the initialLoad flag, now the first argument is sourceData, followed by initialLoad.
  • The ManualColumnFreeze plugin will now put the unfrozen columns right next to the last frozen one.
  • The RecordTranslator object and the t property available in the plugins were removed.
  • After-prefixed hooks (afterLoadData, afterFilter, etc.) are now called just before the render call.
  • Newly created rows and columns are now placed in the source data in the place calculated from its position in the visual context (they “stick” to their adjacent rows/columns). It also applies to moved rows and columns.
  • When the NestedRows plugin is enabled, moving rows will be possible only using the UI or by calling the dragRows method of the ManualRowMove plugin.
  • The beforeRowResize, afterRowResize, beforeColumnResize, afterColumnResize hooks have the order of their arguments rearranged for the sake of consistency with other hooks and to fix an issue where multiple hooks didn’t get the modified value in the pipeline: #3328.
  • Changed the argument structure in collapsibleColumns’ toggleCollapsibleSection method: #6193.
  • The following sublist shows changes related to the refactor of HiddenColumns and CollapsibleColumns. They will be compatible with upcoming IndexMappers #5945 along with other adjustments #6547:
    • Hidden indexes aren’t rendered. As a consequence hooks beforeValueRender, beforeRenderer, afterRenderer, modifyColWidth, beforeStretchingColumnWidth etc. will be executed just for some of the columns (just the rendered ones).
    • The getColWidth for hidden index will return 0 – it used to return 0.1. Also, it will no longer be called internally, the need can be now achieved by managers of rows and columns.
    • The modifyColWidth hook will not be called internally. However, it will be executed when the user will call the getColWidth.
    • Hidden indexes aren’t rendered. As a consequence hooks beforeValueRender, beforeRenderer, afterRenderer, modifyColWidth, beforeStretchingColumnWidth etc. will be executed just for some of the columns (just the rendered ones).
    • listen function from the core API used to accept modifyDocumentFocus as optional parameter, this parameter was removed.
    • CustomBorders plugin was adapted to work with HiddenColumns properly. From now on hiding cells at the start or the end of the range will also hide their borders. Hiding a single cell with borders will hide all of its borders. #7083.
    • CollapsibleColumns will no longer use HiddenColumns plugin to work. #6204.
    • Adjusted HiddenColumns to be compatible with upcoming IndexMappers. #6547.
    • hiddenRow and hiddenColumn hooks were removed. They were used to check if a given index is hidden in the HiddenColumns and HiddenRows plugins. Since now there may be more sources of hiding indexes they have been replaced by IndexMapper with the new isHidden method. It keeps the broad information about hidden indexes and their sources.
    • rowOffset and colOffset were removed since they aliased the methods from Walkontable. #6547.
  • Changes related to adjusting HiddenRows to new IndexMapper architecture are #6177:
    • Adjusted HiddenRows to new IndexMapper architecture. #6177.
  • Developed a unified way to identify HOT “input” elements. All input elements owned by HOT got an attribute “data-hot-input” which are identified by that key. #6383.
  • NestedHeaders plugin was rewritten, from now on, only a tree-like structure will be allowed, meaning, there will be no possibility to place nested headers in-between layers. #6716
  • The right mouse button (RMB) click on the corner when there is no data will show all options disabled. #6547.
  • Left mouse button (LMB) click on the top left corner will now select all cells along with their headers. #6547.
  • Removed the experimental GanttChart plugin. #7022.
  • Adding properties which were not defined on initialization or by updateSettings to the source data is possible only by the usage of setSourceDataAtCell. #6664.
  • Passing columns or data inside the settings object when calling the updateSettings method will result in resetting states corresponding to rows and columns (ie. row/column sequence, column width, row height, freezed columns etc.). The same behavior can be seen when using loadData. In such cases, it is assumed that a new dataset is introduced upon calling updateSettings or loadData .#6547.

New features

  • Added the Index Mapper architecture and its API. #5112 (more information available in the PRs #5945 with additional changes in #6547)
  • Added a new batch method. #5945 along with other adjustments (#7068)

Deprecations

  • The ObserveChanges plugin is no longer enabled by columnSorting and became deprecated. #5945
  • HeaderTooltips plugin becomes deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. #7023

  • Passing columns or data inside the settings object when calling the updateSettings method will result in resetting states corresponding to rows and columns (ie. row/column sequence, column width, row height, freezed columns etc.). The same behavior can be seen when using loadData. In such cases, it is assumed that a new dataset is introduced upon calling updateSettings or loadData .#6547.
  • The right mouse button (RMB) click on the corner, column and row headers will show just some options, defined by newly created specification #7082
  • Hidden indexes will no longer be rendered, as a consequence afterRenderer, modifyColWidth, beforeStretchingColumnWidth will be executable only on visible (meaning, rendered) rows and columns. #6547
  • The getColWidth for hidden index will return 0 - it used to return 0.1 #6547
  • The modifyColWidth hook isn’t called internally. However, it will be executed when the user will call the getColWidth. #6547

  • Selection behavior changed when hiding cells from the ContextMenu, now it is selecting a column on the right when there is space on right to the last selected column, selecting a column on the left otherwise. #6547
  • Developed a unified way to identify HOT “input” elements. All input elements owned by HOT got an attribute “data-hot-input” which are identified by that key. #6383
  • NestedHeaders plugin was rewritten, from now on, only a tree-like structure will be allowed, meaning, there will be no possibility to place nested headers in-between layers. #6716
