SvGrid Roadmap - What We Are Building Next

15 planned features for the SvGrid Svelte 5 data grid, grouped by area, plus 100 recently shipped. An honest, living account - the full accounting lists workarounds available today.

Editing

• Custom calendar systems for the date editor (Hijri, Buddhist, fiscal-year, custom holidays) - Gregorian date / datetime / time editors already ship as editorType.

Menus

• Custom column menu items / actions API to extend the built-in menu with your own commands - Row + cell context menus already accept a custom item list; this is the column-header menu half.
• Programmatic api.openColumnMenu(colId) / api.openContextMenu(rowId, colId) - Both menus open on interaction today; this exposes them on SvGridApi.
• Menu theming hooks: danger styling + disabled state - Per-item icons and separators already ship on SvMenuList; danger styling is what is left.

Views (@svgrid/enterprise)

• Gantt view - task bars on a time axis with dependency arrows, critical path and drag-to-reschedule - Demo 45 already renders a Gantt-shaped timeline as a recipe - one wide cell per row with an absolutely-positioned bar - and the scheduler ships the two hard halves underneath: a working-time axis (buildAxis, with break and collapsed segments) and a dependency model carrying the four link types FS / SS / FF / SF plus a graph builder. What is missing is a first-class view over that model: summary/rollup rows, drawn dependency arrows, critical path, and drag-to-reschedule that writes back through the dependency graph.

Export (@svgrid/enterprise)

• PDF export layout extensions: cover page, repeating section headers, multi-section reports - Branded headers/footers/logo (demo 57) plus the portrait / landscape toggle with auto-landscape for wide grids already ship, and the Print path has a boardroom cover page (demo 39). Bringing the cover page and the multi-section pass to PDF export is what is left.
• PDF export with charts and KPI strip alongside the table
• Server-side export pipeline that streams large datasets without the browser-memory ceiling
• Saveable export templates / presets the user can reuse across reports

Data adapters and integrations

• Packaged first-class adapters for OData and Firestore - Supabase now ships as a real adapter (schema introspection, realtime, auth) alongside the REST shape adapters and the GraphQL demo. OData and Firestore are what is left.
• Streaming adapter for Kafka / Pulsar / Redpanda over a thin server proxy
• Auth helpers for data adapters: OAuth flow, signed-URL refresh - Static and computed request headers (so Bearer works today) plus Supabase auth already ship; the OAuth + signed-URL refresh helpers are what is left.

Templates and starters

• Remaining industry template: telco service-assurance - Studio now ships 18 sample apps, including support/ticketing, fleet/field-service, and ecommerce + inventory for retail ops, alongside CRM, clinic, HR, ATS, insurance, invoicing and more.

SvelteKit

• Streaming SSR for generated screens - return promises from load so a slow dataset streams in after first paint - The load function and the CRUD form actions both ship now (see below); streaming is the piece still outstanding.

Mobile

• In progress: Touch row dragging - confirm the pointer path on real hardware - Shipped in 2.6.7: a pointer-based path with a long-press start so scrolling still works, hit-testing, edge autoscroll and drop on lift. The mechanics are now covered by an automated real-touch test (tests/e2e/mobile/row-drag-touch.spec.ts) that drives Chromium through CDP touch input rather than jsdom: scroll-vs-drag arbitration at the slop, long-press start, drop on lift, cancel on interruption and a second finger mid-drag all pass. What is left is genuinely WebKit-on-hardware - momentum and rubber-banding, iOS back-swipe near the left edge, the URL bar resizing mid-drag - so #66 stays open on a short device checklist in the Row dragging doc.

Recently shipped

• Rich-text + Markdown cells - SvRichCell paints formatted values through a strict sanitizer, and the richtext editorType edits them
• SvelteKit starter with an auth scaffold - cookie sessions, PBKDF2 over Web Crypto, and role gating enforced in the load and the action
• Pivot dashboard starter - a pivot cube, a linked chart and a drill-through rail over one fact table, from npm create @svgrid
• SSR-native SvelteKit output - Studio emits +page.server.ts with a load function and CRUD form actions, so a generated screen renders on the server instead of fetching after it mounts
• SvGrid UI in the box - 84 components (SvButton, SvCalendar, SvDateTimePicker, SvDockLayout, SvToaster, selects, dialogs, split panes) export from @svgrid/grid itself, no extra install
• In-panel chart editing - retype, re-group, re-measure and restyle a chart from the panel (Type, Group by, Split by, Value, Aggregate, Format) without reopening the wizard
• Every chart type in the picker - the panel offered 4 of 15; it now offers each type the current columns can feed, with the controls that type actually uses
• Candlestick / OHLC with an ordinal date axis that skips non-trading days
• Chart series palette tokens (--sg-chart-1..8), so a theme can recolour the data and not just the chrome
• Client-side tree data - treeData nests rows by parent id (or nested children via flattenTreeData), with treegrid keyboard + ARIA
• Row-grouping display modes - groupRows banners, a single combined Group column, or one column per grouped field
• Group footers - a subtotal row per group, plus paging that budgets data rows instead of group banners
• Async editor options - editorOptions may return a Promise, per column or per row, with loading state and caching
• Two-condition column filters - AND / OR on one column, in the menu and via api.setFilter
• Filter-row operator picker - pick the condition per column inline, matching the column menu
