Why choose the Syncfusion React Data Grid?
Efficient data binding
The React Data Grid component supports seamless data binding to various local and remote data sources, such as JSON, OData, WCF, and RESTful web services, by using a data manager that supports all custom APIs.
Advanced editing
The React Data Grid component supports create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations for both business objects and remote data services. These operations are managed through a data manager, enabling efficient and flexible editing workflows with any data source.
Custom template implementation
The React Data Grid component allows users to create custom a UI using a wide range of templates. These templates enable customization of the grid’s appearance and behavior to achieve specific designs.
Globalization and localization support
The React Data Grid component allows users from different locales to format dates, currencies, and numbers according to regional preferences. This ensures a consistent and culturally appropriate user experience across global applications.
React Data Grid Quick Start: Code example
Get started with the React Data Grid using a few lines of TSX code, as demonstrated below. You can also explore our React Data Grid example that demonstrates how to render and configure the component in a React application.
import { Grid, Columns, Column, TextAlign } from '@syncfusion/react-grid'; import { orderDetails } from './orderDetails'; export default function App() { return ( <div> <Grid dataSource={orderDetails} height={400}> <Columns> <Column field="OrderID" headerText="Order ID" width={110} textAlign={TextAlign.Right} /> <Column field="CustomerName" headerText="Customer Name" width={140} /> <Column field="OrderDate" headerText="Order Date" type={ColumnType.Date} format='yMd' textAlign={TextAlign.Right} width={120} /> <Column field="ShipCountry" headerText="Ship Country" width={120} /> <Column field="Freight" headerText="Freight Charges" width={110} textAlign={TextAlign.Right} format="C2" /> </Columns> </Grid> </div> ); };
Editing
The React Data Grid component provides robust support for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. It includes built-in editor components for modifying individual cell values and supports the integration of custom editors through templating. A data manager enables seamless editing workflows across local array-based collections and remote data services.
Sorting
The React Data Grid component allows users to sort rows in ascending or descending order by clicking a column header. For multicolumn sorting, hold the Ctrl key and click additional headers to arrange data across multiple columns. Custom sorting logic can also be defined to meet specific application requirements.


Filtering
Filtering enables the retrieval of specific or related records that meet defined criteria within the Data Grid. It can be applied through the user interface or programmatically, providing flexible options for refining data based on text, numeric, or date-based conditions. Support for diacritic characters ensures accurate filtering across multilingual datasets. This enhances data exploration and improves access to relevant information.
Paging
Paging allows users to navigate a segment of data from the assigned data source, improving performance and usability when working with large datasets. The React Data Grid includes a built-in pager UI, which can be fully customized to match application design requirements. Additionally, it supports on-demand paging, enabling efficient data retrieval from remote web services as needed.


Selection
Select rows by clicking them. To select multiple rows, hold the Ctrl, Shift, or Command key while clicking, or select multiple rows programmatically.
Aggregation
The React Data Grid component supports aggregation of column values, allowing summary data to be displayed easily. Aggregates can be customized to appear in individual summary rows, providing a clear overview of key metrics and enhancing data analysis within the grid.


Columns
Columns in the React Data Grid establish the data source schema and support a range of features, including data formatting, auto-generated columns, customizable column definitions, text wrapping, and more, enabling flexible and precise data presentation.
Accessibility

Keyboard navigation
The React Data Grid component supports keyboard navigation across all cells. Features such as sorting, selection, and editing can be performed using defined keyboard shortcuts. This functionality promotes accessibility and supports the development of inclusive applications.

Screen reader
The React Data Grid component includes complete WAI-ARIA accessibility support, ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers. Its user interface incorporates high-contrast visual elements to improve visibility for users with low vision. Valid UI descriptions are exposed to screen readers, supporting inclusive and accessible application design.

Right to left (RTL)
The React Data Grid component supports right-to-left rendering, allowing text and the component’s layout to flow from right to left. This improves accessibility and enhances the user experience for users who use languages that are written from right to left.
