Release: Tarantula
Latest New productsBMX Web Components 2.5.0 · A notification centre, a filter panel, an API explorer, a mind map, a process explorer, a trace viewer and a lineage graph
Seven new products, from the inbox and the search panel every application needs to the tools that show how work, requests and data really flow. The notification centre and the filter panel are in every licence that carries the library; the API explorer and the mind map are in Hypernova Pro and Gold; the process explorer, the trace viewer and the lineage graph are in Hypernova Gold. As always, everything runs in the browser, loads nothing from anywhere and sends nothing anywhere.
- Stacked, snoozed, acted on
- Facets counted properly
- OpenAPI tried in the page
- Mind maps from the keyboard
- Process mining
- The critical path
- Column-level lineage
- No dependencies
Notification centre — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-notification-center>, in every web licence: the bell with its unread count and the inbox behind it, grouped under Pinned, Today, Yesterday and earlier, with repeats stacked into one. - NewEach notification read or unread, pinned, snoozed or dismissed, with up to three actions of its own; tabs, a source filter, search and muting; new ones announced to screen readers; and an activity-feed mode drawn in place.
Filter panel — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-filter-panel>, in every web licence: faceted search for any list, with checkbox facets and their live counts, ranges over a histogram, dates with quick choices, ratings and switches. - NewChips, Clear all, saved views and the choice kept in the address bar; each facet counted with every other filter applied but its own; your records filtered in the page, or the query handed to your server; a side panel, a bar above a table, or folded away on a phone.
API explorer — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-api-explorer>, in Hypernova Pro and Gold: an OpenAPI 3.0 or 3.1 description, in JSON or YAML, or a Swagger 2.0 file, documented operation by operation, with schemas as tables of fields. - NewEvery operation tried in the page, with parameters checked as they are typed, credentials kept only in memory and the response checked against its schema; each request as cURL, JavaScript, C# and Python; and a mock mode that answers from the description’s own examples.
Mind map — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-mind-map>, in Hypernova Pro and Gold: a mind map built from the keyboard as fast as you think, or from an indented outline kept in step beside it. - NewFour layouts that never overlap, branches in eight colours, folding, notes, links and icons; branches moved by dragging or from the keys, with undo; OPML, Markdown, JSON and text in and out, and PNG and SVG pictures.
Process explorer — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-process-explorer>, in Hypernova Gold: the event log of an ERP, CRM, ticketing or workflow system, as records, CSV, XES or JSON, turned into the process map, by frequency or by wait. - NewAn animated replay of every case; variants ranked by share and duration; each case with its timeline; conformance against the path cases should follow; statistics and filters; and the engine on a server.
Trace viewer — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-trace-viewer>, in Hypernova Gold: distributed traces from OpenTelemetry, Zipkin or Jaeger as a timeline in their call tree, coloured by service, with events and failures marked. - NewThe critical path that decided how long the request took, with each span’s self time; a flame graph, figures by service and operation, the service map, and two runs compared span by span; tens of thousands of spans scroll smoothly.
Lineage graph — BMX Web Components
- New
<bmx-lineage-graph>, in Hypernova Gold: OpenLineage events, a dbt manifest or plain JSON laid out from sources to dashboards, each asset with its columns, owner, system and health. - NewEverything upstream and downstream of an asset lit up; columns traced both ways; impact analysis with the owners to tell; PII and other classifications carried downstream; checks for gaps in the lineage; and the engine on a server, for checks in CI.
Live showcase
- NewSeven new showcase pages: an operations inbox and an activity feed; a product catalogue and a table of support tickets filtered; an orders API tried in mock mode and a Swagger description; a launch plan and a radial map from Markdown; purchase to pay and a help desk mined from their event logs; a slow checkout traced across twelve services; and a shop’s data platform and a dbt project.
