Roadmap

In 2023 we will work towards expanding the functionality of the KendoReact PivotGrid component. You will be able to take advantage of the new built-in features such as:

• Running Totals
• Summary Display Modes
• Expand All / Collapse All

Thanks to your requests in the product feedback portal, we plan to ship the following new features and improvements in the KendoReact Chart components:

• Drill-down option for data series
• Improved animations
• Control of chart legend display
• and more!

In 2023 we plan to expand the collection of React Chart components by adding a Trendline chart. You will be able to easily illustrate trends in data series and provide charting predictions capabilities to your React applications.

The KendoReact Timeline component will allow you to visualize a list of chronological events in a professionally designed manner. The timeline will support both vertical and horizontal orientation, as well as options to render custom content and collapse/expand events. 

We will work towards making sure KendoReact UI components adjust smoothly to various screen sizes. We plan to ensure adaptiveness and responsiveness in multiple select and editor type controls such as AutoComplete, ComboBox, MultiSelect, etc., plus the Date & Time picker UI components.

The KendoReact team will be busy adding features to the native React Data Grid. One of the most popular components in the UI library today, this will remain a big focus for development in upcoming releases. These features include, but are not limited to:

 

• Configuration options to control the number of records to be pre-rendered during Virtual Scrolling
• Column Re-Ordering Auto-Scroll
• Copy & Copy With Headers options for Selected Cells

In 2023 we plan to improve the user experience related to navigation, editing, and validation in the KednoReact DateInput and Date & Time picker components.

We will improve the KendoReact Gantt component popup edit form by adding a tabs feature and exposing additional task properties that can be configured in it.

 

The KendoReact Editor will receive the often-requested Table Wizard. This end-user tool will provide a more guided way for users to create and manage Tables within the Editor content.

 

 

In our upcoming 2023 releases, we will continue with our efforts to improve the overall accessibility of KendoReact UI components, ensuring the highest level of compliance with WAI-ARIA, Section 508, and the new WCAG 2.2 standards.

The KendoReact team will focus on building React-specific tooling for the Kendo UI Productivity Tools for Visual Studio Code. This Visual Studio Code extension provides helpful tools like code snippets, application and page scaffolding, and much more.

With the combination of our React UI components and the Kendo UI Productivity Tools all developers can enjoy a productivity boost when developing their user experience with the KendoReact components.

Pursuing the goal to be CSP compatible and ultimately ensure strict CSP compliance for KendoReact, we are planning to implement the following incremental changes in 2023:

• With R2 2023, we plan to replace all font icons internally used with SVG icons in order to address the font-src directive;
• Further in 2023, we plan to detach font-related CSS from Kendo themes in order to remove the need for the font-src directive.

The KendoReact Wizard lets users create a multi-step process which guides uses step-by-step through a particular process. Building on top of the already popular React Stepper component, the Wizard will be focused on helping developers build longer forms which are then broken down to more manageable steps.
