Roadmap

We are happy to announce that soon you will be able to take advantage of a brand new theme: the Fluent theme. It will be added to the built-in collection of themes: Default, Bootstrap, and Material already available for Telerik UI for Blazor users.

The Fluent theme will allow the Telerik UI components to follow the Microsoft Fluent Design System guidelines for web applications and will be available by simply including a reference. From there, any Telerik UI component can fit the look and feel of the Fluent Design System. No additional configuration will be needed.

 

The PDF Viewer component will allow users to view and interact with PDF files in Blazor apps directly from the browser without the need to download files or use 3rd party tools.

The new Compact Grid feature, also called a High Density Grid, focuses on displaying as much information as possible in a single Grid component by reducing the padding and margins used by elements within the Blazor Data Grid. The end-result is a data table with a more condensed look-and-feel which gives the opportunity to display more data at once.

The new compact grid feature will be offered through configuration options and can be used in combination with any of the built-in Default, Bootstrap, Material, and (upcoming) Fluent themes.

In addition to the existing scaffolder in Visual Studio Code, we will introduce code snippets, scaffolding, and code generation for Telerik UI for Blazor components within your favorite Visual Studio IDE.

 

 

We will work towards making sure Telerik UI for Blazor components adjust smoothly to various screen sizes. A few of the components we plan to address include: Form, Popup, Menu and more.

The Blazor Calendar will be updated with a header template feature, allowing you to render custom content in top part of the component.

The Blazor PanelBar UI component will be boosted with two new events: OnExpand & OnCollapse, that would provide you flexibility on the logic and interaction with the component. 

In R3 2022, we will expose drag and drop events in multiple Blazor components such as: Scheduler, Grid, TreeList and more! Having this feature available to you, enabling a drag & drop action within and between different components will be an effortless experience. 

The Blazor MultiColumn ComboBox UI component provides a dropdown that displays information about items in multiple fields arranged in columns. This gives end-users additional information associated with data items beyond the traditional list of a single-string text. Once a user selects an item, a single value will be displayed in the input.

The new Signature component aims at providing end-users with an area to draw their signature in ASP.NET Core applications. Users will be able to add signatures using their mouse or fingertips.

 

In R3 2022 we will enhance the Window component for Blazor with features allowing you to apply different animations. 

The new AppBar UI component will come in handy when you need to organize and display information and actions related to app screens.

Powerful visualization PivotGrid component with capability to load massive volumes of data in Blazor apps and allowing users to perform data analysis/drill-down operations over multi-dimensional data.

As always, the top data components Blazor Grid and TreeList will be further expanded with multiple new features to expand the programmable control over them, as well as sleek UI features for the end users:

• Header Cell Class
• Customize FilterOperators shown in the filter list 
• Apply DisplayFormat to filtering format
• and more!

In our upcoming 2022 releases, we will continue with our efforts to improve the overall accessibility of Telerik UI components, ensuring compliance with WAI-ARIA, WCAG 2.1, and Section 508 standards, as well as solid documentation and resources. 

With R1 2022 we have shipped the ThemeColor, Size, Shape, Rounded, and FillMode theme options for the Buttons, Inputs, DateInputs, and DropDowns component categories. Since the total UI component set that is covered by our Sass themes spans over 100 components, we plan to address this work across several releases in 2022, and potentially into 2023, so that we can update all the available components.

R2 & R3  2022 theme options roadmap: AppBar, BottomNavigation, Badge, Notification, Tooltip, Loader, Toolbar, Window, Dialog, TabStrip, PanelBar, ExpansionPanel, Upload, Editor, Scheduler, and more!

Keep in mind that things may change here as our roadmap does adjust based on customer feedback, but this should still serve as a rough plan for when certain components will be targeted.

As with every release we plan to implement several features in the Chart for Blazor based on your requests in the product feedback portal.
