What’s New in ExtReact 6.5.3

Support for New Component – SplitButton

ExtReact provides 115+ rich UI components a developer needs to build data-intensive web apps using React. With ExtReact 6.5.3, you can now use the new SplitButton component within your React app. With every component, you have access to all of the component configs as React props, respond to events, and use one of the handy dockable flexible layouts.

Support for Latest Component Enhancements

With every ExtReact component, you get access to hundreds of props, methods, events, and theme variables. For example, with the Grid component, you can provide features such as – scroll with a fixed header, sort by clicking on a column header, show and hide specific columns, add paging, grouping, summarizing, edit data in cells, export data to excel and drill down/row expansion. With ExtReact 6.5.3, you now have access to improvements in many of the UI components such as Grid, NestedList, Charts, Data View, Events, Widgets, List, Calendar, Panel, Pivot Grid, Grid Tree, Forms and more.

Themer 1.3.1 Support

ExtReact components are themable which is great for React developers. Material theme is popular amongst React developers and all ExtReact components have full support for Material theme. You can use Themer 1.3.1 to visually create uniquely themed components for your React application.
