jQuery Grid Plugin – jqGrid

Hello,

We are glad to announce the new release of Guriddo jqGrid JavaScript version 5.9.0.
This version is a minor release and add replaces the existing features which causes problems and can not be used full.

The first one is the local data manipulation, where we have a used a eval based new Function to parse the data. This causes jqGrid not to run in CSP. The new module is rewritten and currently we do not use any eval and new Function

The second one in list is the virtual scroll. This module is entirely rewritten and  currently we support variable row height virtual scroll. See the docs for the setup. The old virtual scroll is still available for compatibility.

Loading the grid state with loadState does not require eval anymore.  We can now safely save and load the grid state.

The release has a lot of important bug fixes.

For a full list of additions and fixes look below:

Additions and Updates

• Replace the old local data manipulation engine of Hugo Bonacci with the new one v3.0.1, which does not use eval and new Function
• Rewrite virtual scroll module. See documentation
• Removing the runCode function which run simulated eval and optimizing the JSON parse function
• Make pivot grid and tree grid to work properly with the new local engine
• Change autoSelect method to work with the new local engine
• parseFunc which convert json string, containing functions, is rewritten so that it does not use new Function. The idea is to parse the json string, separate the functions and then include the string which contain functions as JavaScript in the code. This is dirty hack, but I do not see any other way to save the existing users not to change existing code.
• Restore grid state (loadState method) use the same approach of separating the functions. To make the script compatible with CSP the nonce parameter is added which should cover the the case when it is used. See documentation (read to the end)
• To overcome errors in frozenrows is added baseclass , so the user can set any custom additional class for the frozen rows. See setFrozenRows method.
• Now it is possible to add aria-label in column headers via property arialabel in colModel
• Add aria-label to close button x in modal
• Updates in lang files
• Add dataCleaner to local data to strip not needed keys in the input local data array (as from example Ember data)
