21.2.0

New Features

• IgxOverlayService

  • IgxOverlayService.createAbsoluteOverlaySettings - Added a new overload accepting useContainerStrategy?: boolean as the second parameter. When true, uses ContainerPositionStrategy; otherwise defaults to GlobalPositionStrategy. The previous overload accepting outlet?: IgxOverlayOutletDirective | ElementRef is still supported but deprecated.

• IgxSnackbarComponent, IgxToastComponent

  • Added a new positioning input property. When set to container, the components is displayed inside its nearest positioned ancestor in place of the now deprecated outlet property .

• IgxCombo, IgxSimpleCombo

  • Introduced the selectionChanged event for both components. The event is not cancelable and is emitted after the selection is committed and the component state is updated.
  • Added disableClear input that allows hiding the clear button even when items are selected. Defaults to false.

General

• IgxOverlayService
  • Deprecation - The outlet property in OverlaySettings, IgxOverlayOutletDirective, and igxToggleOutlet input on IgxToggleActionDirective are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. As overlay service now integrates the HTML Popover API and prefers rendering content in place / in the top layer, significantly reducing the need for outlet containers, new code should rely on the default in-place / top-layer rendering behavior instead of custom outlet containers.
