What’s New in Layui v2.9.7? Detailed Component Updates and Fixes

Layui

Layui is a free open‑source web UI component library that follows a lightweight modular specification and native HTML/CSS/JavaScript development patterns, making it extremely easy to pick up and use out of the box. Its minimalist yet elegant design, down to the documentation, is crafted for rapid web‑page construction.

Unlike many mainstream front‑end frameworks, Layui does not rely on complex build tools; it embraces a pragmatic approach where developers work directly in the browser, assembling elements and interactions with minimal overhead.
