I’m trying to find a data grid component that looks and works like the ones in some well-known productivity tools. These grids are really cool. They have different column types, you can resize them, and they look great. Plus, they’re super fast and work kind of like Excel.
Has anyone come across a component (free or paid) that does all this stuff? Or do you think these companies made their own custom grids?
I’m hoping to add something similar to my project, but I’m not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be super helpful!
In my experience, Tabulator has been a solid choice for spreadsheet-like data grids. I’ve used it in a couple of projects and it’s quite versatile. It handles different column types well, supports resizing, and has a clean, modern look. The performance is impressive, even with larger datasets.
One thing I particularly appreciate about Tabulator is its extensive documentation and active community. This made customization much easier when I needed to tailor it to specific project requirements.
While it might not have all the bells and whistles of some proprietary solutions, it’s definitely worth considering. It strikes a good balance between functionality and ease of use. Just be prepared to invest some time in learning its API and configuration options to get the most out of it.
I’d recommend looking into Handsontable. It’s a JavaScript data grid component that closely mimics spreadsheet functionality. I’ve used it in a few projects and found it quite powerful. It supports various column types, cell merging, and even formula calculations. The performance is solid, even with large datasets. While there’s a free version available, the premium features might be worth considering depending on your specific needs. Keep in mind though, it does have a bit of a learning curve, so factor in some time for implementation and customization.
