The DataGrid component is designed to handle large datasets efficiently while offering a rich set of features for customization and interactivity.

• React 19.0+ 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: Freeze columns to keep them visible during horizontal scrolling.
• 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.

Install react-data-grid using your favorite package manager:

npm i react-data-grid

pnpm add react-data-grid

yarn add react-data-grid

bun add react-data-grid

Additionally, import the default styles in your application:

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

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

Here is a basic example of how to use react-data-grid in your React application:

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

import { DataGrid, type Column } from 'react-data-grid';

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

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

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

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

See Column.

An array of column definitions. Each column should have a key and name.

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

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

Rows pinned at the top of the grid for summary purposes.

Rows pinned at the bottom of the grid for summary purposes.

Function to return a unique key/identifier for each 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.

Callback triggered when rows are changed.

The first parameter is a new rows array with both the updated rows and the other untouched rows. T 8870 he 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} />;
}

Default: 35 pixels

Height of each row in pixels. A function can be used to set different row heights.

Default: 35 pixels

Height of the header row in pixels.

Default: 35 pixels

Height of each summary row in pixels.

A map of column widths containing both measured and resized widths. If not provided then an internal state is used.

const [columnWidths, setColumnWidths] = useState((): ColumnWidths => new Map());

function addNewRow() {
  setRows(...);
  // reset column widths after adding a new row
  setColumnWidths(new Map());
}

return <DataGrid columnWidths={columnWidths} onColumnWidthsChange={setColumnWidths} ... />

Callback triggered when column widths change. If not provided then an internal state is used.

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

Function to determine if row selection is disabled for a specific row.

Callback triggered when the selection changes.

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;
}

An array of sorted columns.

Callback triggered when sorting changes.

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}
    />
  );
}

More than one column can be sorted via ctrl (command) + click. To disable multiple column sorting, change the onSortColumnsChange function to

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

Default options applied to all columns.

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

Callback triggered when a pointer becomes active in a cell. The default behavior is to select the cell. Call preventGridDefault to prevent the default behavior.

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

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

See CellMouseArgs and CellMouseEvent

Callback triggered when a cell is clicked.

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

See CellMouseArgs and CellMouseEvent

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

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

See CellMouseArgs and CellMouseEvent

Callback triggered when a cell is right-clicked.

function onCellContextMenu(args: CellMouseArgs<R, SR>, event: CellMouseEvent) {
  if (args.column.key === 'id') {
    event.preventDefault();
    // open custom context menu
  }
}

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

See CellMouseArgs and CellMouseEvent

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();
  }
}

Callback triggered when a cell's content is copied.

Callback triggered when content is pasted into a cell.

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

Callback triggered when the grid is scrolled.

Callback triggered when column is resized.

Callback triggered when columns are reordered.

Default: true

This prop can be used to disable virtualization.

Custom renderers for cells, rows, and other components.

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 contexts or tweak props

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

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

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 render function to renderRow.

Function to apply custom class names to rows.

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';
}

Custom class name for the header row.

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 cursor is shown on the left edge of the column
• Scrollbar is moved to the left

Custom class name for the grid.

Custom styles for the grid.

The label of the grid. We recommend providing a label using aria-label or aria-labelledby

The id of the element containing a label for the grid. We recommend providing a label using aria-label or aria-labelledby

If the grid has a caption or description, aria-describedby can be set on the grid element with a value referring to the element containing the description.

This prop can be used to add a testid for testing. We recommend querying the grid by by its role and name.

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

test('grid', () => {
  render(<MyGrid />);
  const grid = screen.getByRole('grid', { name: 'my-grid' });
});

TreeDataGrid is component built on top of DataGrid to add row grouping. This implements the Treegrid pattern. At the moment TreeDataGrid does not support onFill and isRowSelectionDisabled props

See RenderEditCellProps

See renderers

See RenderRowProps

The ref prop is supported.

See FormatterProps

See RenderGroupCellProps

The name of the column. Displayed in the header cell by default.

A unique key to distinguish each column

Default auto

Width can be any valid css grid column value. If not specified, it will be determined automatically based on grid width and specified widths of other columns.

width: 80, // pixels
width: '25%',
width: 'max-content',
width: 'minmax(100px, max-content)',

max-content can be used to expand the column to show all the content. Note that the grid is only able to calculate column width for visible rows.

Default: 50 pixels

Minimum column width in pixels.

Maximum column width in pixels.

Class name(s) for the cell

Class name(s) for the header cell.

Class name(s) for the summary cell.
