Upgrade Angular from 4.XX to 5.XX using the Essential JS1 for Angular controls

Question

Hi, I'd like to know if current "Essential JS 1 for Angular" controls are compatible with angular 5.XX as Im planing to upgrade angular packages.

I can see the JS2 controls are fully compatible + fully angular native, but I would like to upgrade progressively. AlsoIm using the FileExplorer control that is not in JS2 ( I dont know if is planned )

Thank you

Currently, we don’t have any immediate plan for File Explorer. However, we would like to know more on your use cases and expected feature list. This will help us prioritize the features during our control implementation.     
   
Please let us know if you need further assist on this.
