Sencha Debuts Ext JS 6.7 with Tooling Updates


Sencha, (a division of Idera, Inc.), a leading provider of cross-platform application developer productivity tools, today announced the release of Sencha Ext JS 6.7 with enhancements to its Modern toolkit that will help developers rapidly design and develop web apps for desktop and mobile devices.

As JavaScript frameworks evolve, high-quality web apps are becoming more efficient to build. Ext JS provides the most comprehensive, single-source solution with hundreds of components, plugins and tooling built-in. This release brings major improvements to Sencha's powerful UI, allowing developers to build more feature-rich applications with an improved UX for its end users.

Ext JS 6.7 Modern features include grid filtering and locking, virtual scrolling for infinite grid, material chip, multiselect combobox and color picker. In addition, the Ext JS 6.7 Classic toolkit now includes multiple new component updates to grid, calendar, panel, charts, window, combobox, tabs and dashboard. Ext JS 6.7 supports plugins for JetBrains, Eclipse and Visual Studio.

"Ext JS 6.7 is our response to customer demand. It truly underscores our commitment to provide the industry's most comprehensive collection of pre-integrated and tested UI components for JavaScript developers," said Sandeep Adwankar, senior product manager at Sencha. "The Ext JS framework and UI library work together so dev teams can get their apps to market faster and more cost effectively."
