What's new: May 2024

While the world is turning its vacation mode on, the UI Bakery team is reaping the heat with some sizzling new features! 🚀 Let’s dive into the latest and greatest updates!

SQL-Like Data Sources: EU Server 🌍

Dear EU friends, this one's for you! We’re thrilled to announce outbound regions for SQL-like data sources. If your requests have been lagging, fret no more! Just select the EU region in your data source settings. Our tests show that EU customers with EU-based data sources can reduce request time by three times. Read all about it here.

‍State Variables in the Actions Tab 💻

Navigating the App structure to check state variables? Pfft, that’s so last season. Now, state variables are right where they belong – in the Actions tab! No more searching through your app structure. Cool, right?

Bulk Delete Rows Action 🚮

The Bulk Delete Rows action is here. With just a few clicks, you can delete rows of data like they never even existed. No more complex multi-step processes – it’s deletion made simple.

Apps: Export and Import 💾

You asked, and we delivered. Exporting and importing apps is now a reality! Whether you’re moving your apps between instances, backing them up, or sending them to us for debugging, it’s all possible. Just remember, the archive isn’t the source code, it’s merely a model. 

Sidebar: expand() and collapse() methods and custom width ↔️

The sidebar got a nice makeover. You can now customize its width property and use the expand() and collapse() methods to open or close it programmatically.

Databricks and Spanner Data Sources 📀

The data sources family just got bigger and better! Please give a warm welcome to our new Databricks and Spanner data sources. Now you can integrate your Databricks or Spanner data like a pro. Curious about how to set it up? Check out the details in the documentation: Databricks and Spanner.

Ability to Create JS Files 🗂️

We’ve added the ability to create JS files. Now you can organize custom functions and variables to your heart’s content. These JS files are perfect for storing reusable helpers and utilities within components and actions. Learn more about this feature here.

‍A sneak peek at what's next in UI Bakery (hint: it's not bread, it's features) 🔮

In the backlog for June, we have an unstructured form component, global code search, the ability to open actions in tabs, and other action dx improvements! ☄️ Don’t forget to post your ideas to our public roadmap.✨
