Improved Javascript Queries​

  • Javascript Queries lets you script Retool to do pretty much anything.
  • This works by invoking methods on Retool primitives (components, queries, etc.).
  • All of these operations are asynchronous - they don't immediately take effect (e.g. triggering a REST API query).
  • To help make this easier, Retool now supports promise based syntax and async-await syntax on newer browsers Screen Shot 2018-10-11 at 6.26.13 PM.png

Improved Tables​

  • The column of buttons can be moved to the leftmost column of the Table.
  • The header of the column of buttons can be customized.
  • Server side paginated tables no longer requires the total number of records in the dataset to page correctly.

Misc Improvements​

  • Added .setValue to checkboxes

  • Added percents to pie charts

  • Added the HTML class ._retool- to containers

  • Fixed: GraphQL errors have been improved

  • Fixed: Allow underscores in odbc based connections

  • Fixed: SAML login cast to lower case for consistency
