PrimeTek is pleased to announce the 2.0-Final release of PrimeNG, the most complete open source UI component suite for Angular along with the all-new Poseidon application template.
CSS over JS
PrimeNG 1 was using js to add hover effects and focus events, this was causing an unnecessary change detection in the context of Angular so we’ve reimplemented this to use CSS pseudo instead. Result is better performance, especially significant on pages with a lot of widgets.
DataTable
DataTable is the most complex component and to deal with complexity it has been revamped to have separate internal components like headers, body, scrollable views. This allows us to implement the new Frozen Columns easily. Another important add-on is the customizable editable cells. Highlight anticipated column resize support for scrollable tables is also now available.
Performance
Various components such as Dropdown, Calendar have received performance improvements, results are significant and performance has been improved drastically.
Quality
Thanks to the included defect fixes, quality is being improved with each release.
