React DataGrid Code Example
Easily get started with the React Data Grid using a few simple lines of TSX code as demonstrated below. Also explore our React DataGrid Example which shows you how to render and configure a DataGrid in React.
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';
import { GridComponent, ColumnsDirective, ColumnDirective } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { orderDetails } from './data';
import { SampleBase } from '../common/sample-base';
export class Default extends SampleBase<{}, {}> {
render() {
return (
<div className='control-pane'>
<div className='control-section'>
<GridComponent dataSource={orderDetails} height='350'>
<ColumnsDirective>
<ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign='Right'></ColumnDirective>
<ColumnDirective field='CustomerName' headerText='Customer Name' width='150'></ColumnDirective>
<ColumnDirective field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' width='130' format='yMd' textAlign='Right' />
<ColumnDirective field='Freight' headerText='Freight' width='120' format='C2' textAlign='Right' />
<ColumnDirective field='ShippedDate' headerText='Shipped Date' width='130' format='yMd' textAlign='Right'></ColumnDirective>
<ColumnDirective field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150'></ColumnDirective>
</ColumnsDirective>
</GridComponent>
</div>
</div>

}
}
Editing
The React DataGrid component supports create, read, update, and delete operations (CRUD). In addition to built-in editor components to edit a particular column value, custom editor components can be created using templates according to the application’s needs. With the help of a data manager, you can perform editing operations with array collection or remote data service.
Sorting
Sort rows either in ascending or descending order against a column by simply clicking the header in React DataGrid. Sort multiple columns’ data by holding the Ctrl key + header click. In addition, define your own custom sorting logic based on the application needs.
Filtering
Filtering helps view particular or related records that meet a given criteria in the data grid. The data grid supports various filter types, including powerful Excel-like filters. Choose the appropriate filter type, define your own custom filtering logic, and customize the filtering UI based on the application’s needs. Diacritic characters can also be filtered.
Paging
Paging is used to view a segment of data from the assigned data source. The React DataGrid offers a built-in pager UI with options to customize its entire UI. It also has an on-demand paging mode for effective data retrieval from remote web services.
Selection
Select rows or cells using the checkbox or by simply clicking them. Select more than one row or cell by holding Ctrl, Shift, or Command, or programmatically.
Grouping
Group rows to display the data in an organized hierarchical structure in ascending or descending order to facilitate easier expansion and collapse of records. There is an option to group records of the desired column by simple drag and drop of that column in an interactive drop area.
Aggregation
Aggregates for column values can be easily displayed using the aggregate feature. Aggregates can be customized to show their value in individual summary rows, individual group summary rows, or group caption rows.
Column
Columns define the schema of the data source in the React Data Grid. It supports formatting, auto-generating columns, column definitions, freezing rows and columns, column spanning, text wrapping, column chooser, column menu, and other features.
Frozen rows and columns
Frozen rows and columns are visible at the top and on the left, right, both , or fixed position, respectively, making the remaining grid content scrollable. This feature is mainly used to compare cell values.
Sticky header
The React Data Grid header has to be in a fixed position when scrolling the document vertically to visualize the data grid content along with the column header.
Row drag and drop
The React Grid allows users to drag and drop rows to another DataGrid or custom component. Users can also drag and drop rows within the same DataGrid using the drag icon and transfer rows between different groups.
Master-detail Grid
React Master Detail Grid is a use-case scenario in which a record’s details are viewed in a separate data grid by clicking a particular row.
Adaptive UI layout
The React Data Grid user interface is customized and redesigned for great views and usability on small screens. Filter, sort, search, and edit dialogs adaptive to the screen size and also render row elements in a vertical direction.
Skeleton loading indicator
The React Data Grid control shows the Shimmer effect as a loading indicator while fetching data and binding it to the grid during initial rendering, refreshing, or after performing grid actions like sorting, filtering, grouping, and more. The data grid offers two types of loading indicator effects: spinner and shimmer.
State management
The state management in the React Data Grid component allows you to maintain the grid’s state even after a browser refresh or when navigating to a different page within the same browser session. This feature is especially beneficial for retaining the grid’s configuration and data following a page reload.
Live update
The DataGrid updates live data in its cells at specific time intervals. These updates occur without causing any lag or slowdown, ensuring that the system remains highly responsive and efficient.
Integrated Charts with Data Grid
The Data Grid now integrates with the Charts component, transforming selected grid data into dynamic, interactive visualizations. This powerful combination of tables and charts empowers users to gain clearer insights at a glance. Customize the chart types, axes, and visuals.
Additional features
Row height
Row height is a major factor when displaying the number of records in the viewport, and it is easily customizable based on the application’s UI requirements. It is also possible to set row height conditionally.
Copy to clipboard
The clipboard allows users to copy data from selected rows or cells into it. The Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+H key combinations copy data with and without headers, respectively.
Context menu
Performs various actions in a Data Grid using the popup menu that appears when the cell, header, or pager is right-clicked. In addition to built-in default menu items, custom context menu items can be added.
Width and height
Set the width and height properties to change the size of the data grid. When the content overflows the grid element, horizontal and vertical scrollbars will appear. To fill the data grid’s parent container, simply set the height and width to 100%.
Stacked headers
Stacked headers allow grouping and visualizing column headers in a stacked manner. The number of columns that can be stacked is unlimited. Perform all Data Grid actions even when the columns are stacked.
Accessibility
Keyboard navigation
React Data Grid ensures that every cell is accessible using the keyboard. Major features like sort, select, and edit can be performed using keyboard commands alone; no mouse interaction is required. This helps in creating highly accessible applications using this component.
Screen reader
The React Data Grid view has complete WAI-ARIA accessibility support. Its UI includes high-contrast visual elements that help visually impaired people to have the best viewing experience. Also, valid UI descriptions are easily accessible through assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Right to left (RTL)
Right-to-left rendering allows displaying the text and layout of the Data Grid from right to left. This improves the user experience and accessibility for RTL languages.
Mobile-optimized and touch-friendly
DataGrid in React has a highly responsive layout and an optimized design for desktops, touch screens, and smart phones. It works well on all mobile phones that use iOS, Android, or Windows 8 OS.
Touch support
User-friendly touch gestures and an interactive UI design provide the best user experience. All React Grid features work on touch devices with zero configuration.
Responsive pager
The React DataGrid pager acts intelligently and changes its complete UI responsively based on the dimension. Its optimized design provides the best UI interaction on different devices.
