WaveMaker 11.10.3 - Release date: 03 March 2025
WaveMaker's Release 11.10.3 is here with impactful enhancements like users being able to select JWS and Opaque as security providers, Readable Version names for artifacts, and Case-insensitive sorting. This release will also include significant bug fixes related to Load on Demand property, Carousel widget, and many React Native bug fixes.
Enhancements
Selecting JWS and Opaque Security Providers
With this release, users can now select and cofigure JWS and Opaque security providers in security settings page like other security providers.
To apply JWS and Opaque security providers, users need to select the options from the Security Provider drop down available in Security under Settings.
Selecting JWS:
Selecting Opaque:
Readable Version Names for Artifacts
Introducing Readable version filed for artifacts. Users can now add the readable version name while maintaining alignment with the Standard Version. This feature enhances clarity and usability by providing a customized display option for version information.
With Readable Versioning
(Readable Version)(Standard Version)
Example: CK-NI-Web-prefatis-card-1.5.9 (1.5.19)
Without Readable Versioning
(Standard Version)
Example: 1.5.19
Users can export with the readable version name along with the standard version details but once exported, the readable version in the target instance cannot be modified.
Case Insensitive Sorting
In this release we have added a new property, Case-Insensitive Sort. This property is to enable sorting without distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase letters. This property is available only for Model variables and Service variables and is shown when the Enable Sort property is enabled.
Case-Insensitive Sort property can be enabled to the column level in the Advanced Settings dialog.
Additionally, in model variables, date fields were previously treated as strings, causing incorrect sorting. Now, dates are sorted in proper chronological order.
Elaborated Hint Text For Chart Values
Introducing an enhancement that allows adding detailed hint text for x-axis values in Line charts. For example, if the x-axis displays dates in the DD, MM format, this feature enables the display of an expanded format, DD, MM, YYYY, when hovering over the x-axis labels. Implementing this functionality can enhance data readability and user interaction within your charts.
To add the elaborated hint text for chart values, use the below code.
Page.chart3Beforerender = function (widget, chartInstance) {
setTimeout(function () {
d3.selectAll("text")
.on("mouseover", function (event, d) {
const textElement = d3.select(this);
// Remove existing title if present
textElement.select("title").remove();
// Retrieve original x, y values from the dataset
const xValue = widget.chartData[d].Date; // Assuming dataset contains {x: ..., y: ...}
const yValue = widget.chartData[d].Amount;
// Append new title with dataset values
textElement.append("title")
.text(`x: ${xValue}, y: ${yValue}`);
});
}, 1000);
}
