Sticky Group Row for Master-Detail, Tree Data and Server-side Row Model

AG Grid 29.3 adds support sticky group rows for master-detail, tree data and server-side row model. This allows you to always see the row group header while scrolling through its children when using master detail, tree data or row grouping with the server-side row model. See this demonstrated here and shown below:

Horizontal Sticky Column Group Headers


AG Grid 29.3 adds support for sticky column group headers. This way when there are many columns in column groups, the column group header is always visible while scrolling the grid horizontally. See this demonstrated here and shown below:

ShadowDOM Support

AG Grid 29.3 can now be rendered inside a ShadowDOM element. We've updated the grid to fully support row dragging, popup resizing, range selection resizing that uses drag and drop when rendered inside a ShadowDOM element.

You can see AG Grid rendered in a ShadowDOM element in this live example.

Chart Series Tooltip Interaction

AG Charts now allows you to interact with a series item tooltip. When hovered, the tooltip remains visible so the user can interact with any of the elements displayed in it. This is documented here and shown below:

Chart Tooltip Pointer Positioning

AG Charts now allows you to display the tooltip not over the hovered chart item but at an offset from the mouse pointer. See this documented here and shown below:

Summary

AG Grid 29.3 delivers major improvements to help build more user-friendly grid and chart UIs and makes a number of improvements to stability and performance. This is why we highly recommend upgrading to this version soon.

We suggest reviewing the list of new features in the release notes when planning to update and seeing the full list of changes in our changelog.
