react-data-grid

Features

• React 18.0+ support
• Evergreen browsers and server-side rendering support
• Tree-shaking support and only one npm dependency to keep your bundles slim
• Great performance thanks to virtualization: columns and rows outside the viewport are not rendered
• Strictly typed with TypeScript
• Keyboard accessibility
• Light and dark mode support out of the box. The light or dark themes can be enforced using the rdg-light or rdg-dark classes.
• Frozen columns
• Column resizing
• Multi-column sorting
  • Click on a sortable column header to toggle between its ascending/descending sort order
  • Ctrl+Click / Meta+Click to sort an additional column
• Column spanning
• Column grouping
• Row selection
• Row grouping
• Summary rows
• Dynamic row heights
• No rows fallback
• Cell formatting
• Cell editing
• Cell copy / pasting
• Cell value dragging / filling
• Customizable Renderers
• Right-to-left (RTL) support. We recommend using Firefox as Chrome has a bug with frozen columns.

Install

npm install react-data-grid

react-data-grid is published as ECMAScript modules for evergreen browsers / bundlers, and CommonJS for server-side rendering / Jest.

Quick start

import 'react-data-grid/lib/styles.css';

import DataGrid from 'react-data-grid';

const columns = [
  { key: 'id', name: 'ID' },
  { key: 'title', name: 'Title' }
];

const rows = [
  { id: 0, title: 'Example' },
  { id: 1, title: 'Demo' }
];

function App() {
  return <DataGrid columns={columns} rows={rows} />;
}

API

Components

<DataGrid />

DataGridProps

columns: readonly Column<R, SR>[]

See Column.

An array describing the grid's columns.

⚠️ Passing a new columns array will trigger a re-render for the whole grid, avoid changing it as much as possible for optimal performance.

rows: readonly R[]

An array of rows, the rows data can be of any type.

topSummaryRows?: Maybe<readonly SR[]>

An optional array of summary rows, usually used to display total values for example. topSummaryRows are pinned at the top of the rows view and the vertical scroll bar will not scroll these rows.

bottomSummaryRows?: Maybe<readonly SR[]>

An optional array of summary rows, usually used to display total values for example. bottomSummaryRows are pinned at the bottom of the rows view and the vertical scroll bar will not scroll these rows.

rowKeyGetter?: Maybe<(row: R) => K>

A function returning a unique key/identifier per row. rowKeyGetter is required for row selection to work.

import DataGrid from 'react-data-grid';

interface Row {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

function rowKeyGetter(row: Row) {
  return row.id;
}

function MyGrid() {
  return <DataGrid columns={columns} rows={rows} rowKeyGetter={rowKeyGetter} />;
}

💡 While optional, setting this prop is recommended for optimal performance as the returned value is used to set the key prop on the row elements.

onRowsChange?: Maybe<(rows: R[], data: RowsChangeData<R, SR>) => void>

A function receiving row updates. The first parameter is a new rows array with both the updated rows and the other untouched rows. The second parameter is an object with an indexes array highlighting which rows have changed by their index, and the column where the change happened.

import { useState } from 'react';
import DataGrid from 'react-data-grid';

function MyGrid() {
  const [rows, setRows] = useState(initialRows);

  return <DataGrid columns={columns} rows={rows} onRowsChange={setRows} />;
}

rowHeight?: Maybe<number | ((row: R) => number)>

Default: 35 pixels

Either a number defining the height of row in pixels, or a function returning dynamic row heights.

headerRowHeight?: Maybe<number>

Default: 35 pixels

A number defining the height of the header row.

summaryRowHeight?: Maybe<number>

Default: 35 pixels

A number defining the height of summary rows.

selectedRows?: Maybe<ReadonlySet<K>>

A set of selected row keys. rowKeyGetter is required for row selection to work.

isRowSelectionDisabled?: Maybe<(row: NoInfer<R>) => boolean>

A function used to disable row selection on certain rows.

onSelectedRowsChange?: Maybe<(selectedRows: Set<K>) => void>

A function called when row selection is changed.

import { useState } from 'react';
import DataGrid, { SelectColumn } from 'react-data-grid';

const rows: readonly Rows[] = [...];

const columns: readonly Column<Row>[] = [
  SelectColumn,
  // other columns
];

function MyGrid() {
  const [selectedRows, setSelectedRows] = useState((): ReadonlySet<number> => new Set());

  return (
    <DataGrid
      rowKeyGetter={rowKeyGetter}
      columns={columns}
      rows={rows}
      selectedRows={selectedRows}
      isRowSelectionDisabled={isRowSelectionDisabled}
      onSelectedRowsChange={setSelectedRows}
    />
  );
}

function rowKeyGetter(row: Row) {
  return row.id;
}

function isRowSelectionDisabled(row: Row) {
  return !row.isActive;
}

sortColumns?: Maybe<readonly SortColumn[]>

An array of sorted columns.

onSortColumnsChange?: Maybe<(sortColumns: SortColumn[]) => void>

A function called when sorting is changed

import { useState } from 'react';
import DataGrid, { SelectColumn } from 'react-data-grid';

const rows: readonly Rows[] = [...];

const columns: readonly Column<Row>[] = [
  {
    key: 'name',
    name: 'Name',
    sortable: true
  },
  // other columns
];

function MyGrid() {
  const [sortColumns, setSortColumns] = useState<readonly SortColumn[]>([]);

  return (
    <DataGrid
      columns={columns}
      rows={rows}
      sortColumns={sortColumns}
      onSortColumnsChange={setSortColumns}
    />
  );
}

Grid can be sorted on multiple columns using ctrl (command) + click. To disable multiple column sorting, change the onSortColumnsChange function to

onSortColumnsChange(sortColumns: SortColumn[]) {
  setSortColumns(sortColumns.slice(-1));
}

defaultColumnOptions?: Maybe<DefaultColumnOptions<R, SR>>

Column options that are applied to all the columns

function MyGrid() {
  return (
    <DataGrid
      columns={columns}
      rows={rows}
      defaultColumnOptions={{
        minWidth: 100,
        resizable: true,
        sortable: true,
        draggable: true
      }}
    />
  );
}

onPaste?: Maybe<(event: PasteEvent<R>) => R>

onCellClick?: Maybe<(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) => void>

Triggered when a cell is clicked. The default behavior is to select the cell. Call preventGridDefault to prevent the default behavior

function onCellClick(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) {
  if (args.column.key === 'id') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
  }
}

<DataGrid rows={rows} columns={columns} onCellClick={onCellClick} />;

This event can be used to open cell editor on single click

function onCellClick(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) {
  if (args.column.key === 'id') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
    args.selectCell(true);
  }
}

Arguments:

args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>

• args.rowIdx: number - row index of the currently selected cell
• args.row: R - row object of the currently selected cell
• args.column: CalculatedColumn<TRow, TSummaryRow> - column object of the currently selected cell
• args.selectCell: (enableEditor?: boolean) => void - function to manually select the cell and optionally pass true to start editing

event extends React.MouseEvent<HTMLDivElement>

• event.preventGridDefault:: () => void
• event.isGridDefaultPrevented: boolean

onCellDoubleClick?: Maybe<(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) => void>

Triggered when a cell is double clicked. The default behavior is to open the editor if the cell is editable. Call preventGridDefault to prevent the default behavior

function onCellDoubleClick(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) {
  if (args.column.key === 'id') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
  }
}

<DataGrid rows={rows} columns={columns} onCellDoubleClick={onCellDoubleClick} />;

onCellContextMenu?: Maybe<(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) => void>

Triggered when a cell is right clicked. The default behavior is to select the cell. Call preventGridDefault to prevent the default behavior

function onCellContextMenu(args: CellClickArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) {
  if (args.column.key === 'id') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
  }
}

<DataGrid rows={rows} columns={columns} onCellContextMenu={onCellContextMenu} />;

onCellKeyDown?: Maybe<(args: CellKeyDownArgs<R, SR>, event: CellKeyboardEvent) => void>

A function called when keydown event is triggered on a cell. This event can be used to customize cell navigation and editing behavior.

Examples

• Prevent editing on Enter

function onCellKeyDown(args: CellKeyDownArgs<R, SR>, event: CellKeyboardEvent) {
  if (args.mode === 'SELECT' && event.key === 'Enter') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
  }
}

• Prevent navigation on Tab

function onCellKeyDown(args: CellKeyDownArgs<R, SR>, event: CellKeyboardEvent) {
  if (args.mode === 'SELECT' && event.key === 'Tab') {
    event.preventGridDefault();
  }
}

Check more examples

onSelectedCellChange?: Maybe<(args: CellSelectArgs<R, SR>) => void>;

Triggered when the selected cell is changed.

Arguments:

• args.rowIdx: number - row index
• args.row: R - row object of the currently selected cell
• args.column: CalculatedColumn<TRow, TSummaryRow> - column object of the currently selected cell

onScroll?: Maybe<(event: React.UIEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => void>

A function called when the grid is scrolled.

onColumnResize?: Maybe<(column: CalculatedColumn<R, SR>, width: number) => void>

A function called when column is resized.

enableVirtualization?: Maybe<boolean>

Default: true

This prop can be used to disable virtualization.

renderers?: Maybe<Renderers<R, SR>>

This prop can be used to override the internal renderers. The prop accepts an object of type

interface Renderers<TRow, TSummaryRow> {
  renderCell?: Maybe<(key: Key, props: CellRendererProps<TRow, TSummaryRow>) => ReactNode>;
  renderCheckbox?: Maybe<(props: RenderCheckboxProps) => ReactNode>;
  renderRow?: Maybe<(key: Key, props: RenderRowProps<TRow, TSummaryRow>) => ReactNode>;
  renderSortStatus?: Maybe<(props: RenderSortStatusProps) => ReactNode>;
  noRowsFallback?: Maybe<ReactNode>;
}

For example, the default <Row /> component can be wrapped via the renderRow prop to add context providers or tweak props

import DataGrid, { RenderRowProps, Row } from 'react-data-grid';

function myRowRenderer(key: React.Key, props: RenderRowProps<Row>) {
  return (
    <MyContext.Provider key={key} value={123}>
      <Row {...props} />
    </MyContext.Provider>
  );
}

function MyGrid() {
  return <DataGrid columns={columns} rows={rows} renderers={{ renderRow: myRowRenderer }} />;
}

⚠️ To prevent all rows from being unmounted on re-renders, make sure to pass a static or memoized component to renderRow.

rowClass?: Maybe<(row: R, rowIdx: number) => Maybe<string>>

A function to add a class on the row

import DataGrid from 'react-data-grid';

function MyGrid() {
  return <DataGrid columns={columns} rows={rows} rowClass={rowClass} />;
}

function rowClass(row: Row, rowIdx: number) {
  return rowIdx % 2 === 0 ? 'even' : 'odd';
}

direction?: Maybe<'ltr' | 'rtl'>

This property sets the text direction of the grid, it defaults to 'ltr' (left-to-right). Setting direction to 'rtl' has the following effects:

• Columns flow from right to left
• Frozen columns are pinned on the right
• Column resize handle is shown on the left edge of the column
• Scrollbar is moved to the left

function MyGrid() {
  return <DataGrid aria-label="my-grid" columns={columns} rows={rows} />;
}

function MyGridTest() {
  const grid = screen.getByRole('grid', { name: 'my-grid' });
