Beta Features API

The Reveal SDK provides a centralized way to enable and manage beta features. This allows you to test new or experimental functionality before it's officially released.

Enabling a Beta Feature​

You can enable a beta feature using:

//enable one feature
RevealSdkSettings.betaFeatures.enable("newPieChart");

//enable multiple features
RevealSdkSettings.betaFeatures.enable("newPieChart", "newDonutChart");

//alternatively use an array
RevealSdkSettings.betaFeatures.enable(...[
    "newPieChart",
    "newDonutChart"
]);

Disabling a Beta Feature​

To disable a previously enabled beta feature:

RevealSdkSettings.betaFeatures.disable("newPieChart");

Getting All Enabled Beta Features​

const betafeatures = RevealSdkSettings.betaFeatures.getEnabledFeatures();

Available Beta Flags​

The following beta feature flags are available:

newDataGrid​

Enables the new data grid visualization in the Reveal SDK.

The new data grid offers:

  • Improved rendering performance
  • Enhanced sorting and filtering capabilities
  • Column summaries support
  • Column pinning functionality
  • Responsive layout for better mobile and tablet experiences
  • Sorting, grouping, and filtering when the grid is bound to a paged data source
  • And more improvements for a modern grid experience

This feature introduces a significant upgrade to the grid visualization, providing users with a more powerful and flexible data grid component. It is ideal for users who need advanced grid functionality and better performance when working with tabular data.

Recent update: Paged grids previously disabled grouping and filtering (and paged sorting was limited). Sorting, grouping, and filtering are now applied server-side and kept in sync with paging, so multi-column sort precedence, grouping, and column filters work the same way whether or not paging is enabled.

✅ Recommended for testing improved grid performance and new grid capabilities in your dashboards.

newTooltip​

Released. Hover tooltips are now the default tooltip experience in the Reveal SDK and this beta flag has been removed. Enabling it no longer has any effect and the call can be deleted.

Tooltips now appear on hover for every visualization type that supports them, and tooltip actions such as drill down and filtering are available directly from the tooltip. Use the RevealView.showTooltips property to turn tooltips on or off. See Working with Tooltips for details.
