Hey everyone! I’m working on a project and I need a really cool data grid component. You know those awesome table views in some popular productivity apps? They’ve got all these neat features like different column types, easy resizing, and they look super slick. Plus, they’re fast and work kinda like Excel.
I’ve been searching around but can’t seem to find anything quite like it. Does anyone know if there’s a component out there (free or paid) that can do all this stuff? Or do you think those big companies just make their own from scratch?
I’d really appreciate any suggestions or insights you might have! Thanks in advance for your help!
I’ve actually been down this road before, and after extensive research and testing, I found Handsontable to be an excellent solution. It’s a JavaScript/HTML5 data grid that offers spreadsheet-like functionality and appearance.
What I particularly appreciated about Handsontable was its Excel-like feel and robust feature set. It supports various column types, cell merging, and even formula calculations. The performance is impressive, handling large datasets with ease.
One caveat: while there’s a free version, the more advanced features require a commercial license. However, in my experience, the investment was worthwhile for the time and effort saved in development.
If you’re looking for something that closely mimics popular productivity apps, Handsontable might be worth exploring. It certainly solved many of the challenges I faced in a similar project.
Hey CreativeArtist88! Have u checked out AG Grid? It’s pretty dope for what ur after. Loads of features, customizable AF, and works like a charm. I’ve used it in a few projects and its been solid. Might be worth giving it a shot if u haven’t already!
I’ve had success using React-Table in my projects. It’s a lightweight, flexible solution that can be customized to match the look and feel of popular productivity apps. While it doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles out of the box, its hook-based approach allows for easy extension and integration with other libraries.
One of the key advantages I found was its virtual rendering capability, which significantly improved performance when dealing with large datasets. It also supports various column types and has good documentation.
That said, it does require more setup compared to some other solutions. You might need to implement certain features yourself or integrate additional libraries. But if you’re comfortable with React and want fine-grained control over your data grid, React-Table could be a solid choice.
