UX improvements
? Auto-calculation bar
Without exaggeration, it’s the most remarkable and requested feature of our release.
Want to instantly see intermediate calculations once you select several cells? This is where the auto-calculation bar comes in handy.
With this new UI feature, you can see the progress during calculations in real-time. The auto-calculation bar automatically displays the sum, average, and count of the selected cells. Its main advantage is that it gives you quick answers during your work.

Even more features are at your fingertips now!
Now you can connect to a remote JSON data source in two clicks. Just click the Connect tab and insert a URL to load your data into the pivot table component:
Features for developers ?‍??‍?
Just like we always do, we took care not only of end-users but also of developers.
And here’s what came out of it.
Improved module dependencies
This update is a true blessing for front-end developers since the importing of WebDataRocks to your project is enhanced in many ways. The two major changes you can benefit from are:
- There’s no need to import the Toolbar’s script separately – now it’s included in the
webdatarocks.jsscript. - The Node.JS modules are improved and AMD has become supported now.
TypeScript type definitions for WebDataRocks
Integration with TypeScript has never been more seamless.
You can use the type definitions for WebDataRocks right out of the box. They are available as a part of an npm package.
React + TypeScript app with Pivot Table
Take full advantage of introduced type definitions – integrate WebDataRocks into a React + TypeScript app.
Here’s a brand-new GitHub project to guide you through the process:
