Introducing TMS WEB Core v2.8.0.0: AgGrid Integration & AI-Powered Web Design

We are excited to introduce TMS WEB Core v2.8.0.0, now available as a beta for all TMS ALL-ACCESS users! This latest version brings groundbreaking enhancements, empowering developers with greater flexibility, efficiency, and productivity in their web applications.

TWebDataGrid: Power of AgGrid for TMS WEB Core

One of the standout additions in this release is the TWebDataGrid, a powerful new component that provides seamless integration with AgGrid, one of the most feature-rich JavaScript grids available today. TWebDataGrid wraps the free to use MIT licensed version of AgGrid. With TWebDataGrid, Delphi developers can now leverage AgGrid’s capabilities effortlessly within their TMS WEB Core applications.

The TWebDataGrid can be used in both data-bound and non-data-bound modes, giving developers full flexibility in how they interact with their data. In a data-bound scenario, the TWebDataGrid seamlessly connects with backends like StellarDS.io or TMS XData, enabling effortless CRUD operations without writing a single line of code. Moreover, automatic paging is available out-of-the-box, ensuring smooth navigation through large datasets.

To illustrate the possibilities, 25 new demo projects are now included, showcasing various real-world scenarios and configurations that highlight the power and flexibility of TWebDataGrid. Among these, dedicated samples demonstrate how to use TWebDataGrid with a StellarDS.io or TMS XData backend, making it even easier to integrate structured data management into your applications. Whether you need advanced data manipulation, sorting, filtering, or custom rendering, this component makes it easier than ever to build high-performance, modern web applications with Delphi.

AI-Powered Web Design: Generate HTML & CSS from the IDE

TMS WEB Core v2.8.0.0 also introduces enhanced AI services that assist developers in generating HTML and CSS for their web applications. While we had already OpenAI ChatGpt support (see video), we have now extended the IDE integration with more AI services.From within the TMS WEB Core IDE, developers can now choose from an expanded list of AI models to assist in design and front-end development, significantly accelerating UI/UX creation. Especially when using the new web form designer, you can see WYSIWYG from the IDE the forms you are creating including testing the responsive behavior! 

Supported AI services now include:

• OpenAI ChatGPT
• Grok
• Gemini
• Claude
• Perplexity
• Mistral
• Ollama

These AI-powered tools can generate responsive layouts, CSS styling, and HTML structures, making it easier for developers to craft beautiful web applications with minimal effort.
