Web development practices in Flexmonster: more about the technologies we implement.

Flexmonster stops providing the ECMAScript 2009 (ES5) version of the product

ECMAScript 2009, also known as ES5, is the first major revision to JavaScript that was used for many years. Since then several new standards were released and now, in the development of our components, we use only the ES6 standard as it has improved performance and is supported by all modern browsers. The only browser that did not switch to ES6 is InternetExplorer 11, but in 2022 Microsoft stopped supporting it in favor of their new browser Edge.

Flexmonster Pivot with amCharts: a new connector for a smooth integration

The best way to understand large data quantities is to visualize them. Luckily, we have a lot of instruments to do that.

Flexmonster Pivot helps to represent your data grouped in a stylish grid with all the aggregations, sorting, and filtering that has been done before. It also has pivot charts to display this data even more clearly or visually highlight the core.

Integration with React Native

Keeping up with the latest technologies in mobile app development, we couldn't miss React Native - the most powerful framework for building cross-platform applications. Supported by Facebook, its GitHub repository is the 2nd most popular by the number of contributions. 

Today we're excited to share with you awesome news about integration with React Native.

Flexmonster is not affected by CVE-2021-44228/Log4J

A new cyber vulnerability connected to Apache Log4J was publicly disclosed on 10 December 2021. The issue identifier is CVE-2021-44228.

Our security experts prepared a statement on how Flexmonster is affected.

Our product, Flexmonster Pivot, is not vulnerable to the Apache Log4J attack. Flexmonster is a JavaScript library without any Java libraries. In particular, Flexmonster does not use the vulnerable Java Log4J library.

Flexmonster 2.9: meet our new summer release features

We are so happy to announce the version 2.9 release of Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts Component! This release is very diverse, but there is something that will appeal to all our users - the performance speed of Flexmonster has become even better! Compared to the previous version, we perform up to 3 times as fast!

Flexmonster Admin Panel: take control of your data

Since version 2.8 our customers can benefit from using our server-side tool for working with large data volumes - Flexmonster Data Server.

Initially, it was possible to configure the Data Server via configuration files, which is a preferred way for many developers. In this release, we are introducing a new way of working with the Data Server as a Windows / Unix service and providing a new GUI tool to manage and configure it -
Flexmonster Admin Panel.

Accessibility in Flexmonster 2.9

Version 2.9 has brought many notable features. Among them, there is one we are incredibly proud of — accessibility.

We started working on it long before the major release, and it's been quite a journey to make Flexmonster accessible. Why did we invest so much into accessibility? Let us share our motivation with you:
