Deprecated APIs¶
Skuid deprecates APIs when we identify better ways of accomplishing the same task. We also deprecate APIs if there are changes to an associated application (a data source, or perhaps jQuery elements) that impacts the effectiveness of the API.
Warning
Deprecated APIs used within Skuid pages may continue to work after they have been deprecated.
However, to ensure the most consistent user experience, builders are strongly encouraged to use the alternative/workaround API option on all pages going forward, and (for pages already in production) to replace deprecated APIs with the listed alternatives.
