What's New in the ThingWorx Web Component SDK Version 9.6.0¶

Lit Version 3 Migration¶

The ThingWorx Web Component SDK library and all of its web components are upgraded to use the Lit 3 library out of the box. This allows the library to take advantage of the latest enhancements available in Lit 3.
We strongly recommend using Lit 3 when creating new components. If you are using custom components that were created using older versions of the library, such as Lit 2 or Polymer, you may need to manually adjust your code when upgrading to Lit 3.
The web component samples in the Getting Started Tutorial were updated to support Lit 3.

For more information about upgrading to Lit 3, refer to the Lit 3 Upgrade Guide.

Web Component SDK Utility¶

Support for custom web components created using Polymer or Lit 2 is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The utility continues to support both libraries until they are removed from the Web Component SDK. However, PTC recommends migrating to Lit 3 to continue using the utility in future releases.

New Web Components¶

ptcs-progress-tracker - Enables you to simplify complex workflows by dividing them into multiple mashups with linear navigation between each step. Each step displays a mashup.
ptcs-kpi-dial - Enables you to display Key Performance Indicator (KPI) values using one of several layouts, such as a dial, a horizontal bar, or a vertical column.
ptcs-collection - Enables you to display a collection of cells that contain various UI components. You can display the cells using several layouts such as flex, grid, or table.
ptcs-tree-selector - Enables you to display hierarchical data, allowing users to navigate and select items from a tree structure. It includes two views: a tree area and an item selection area.

Lit Web Component Migration¶

The following components are migrated from Polymer to Lit:
- ptcs-list
- ptcs-dropdown
- ptcs-file-upload

All visual components that are migrated to Lit maintain the same API and appearance.
