Frappe DataTable is a simple, modern and interactive datatable library for displaying tabular data. Originally built for ERPNext, it can be used to render large amount of rows without sacrificing performance and has the basic data grid features like inline editing and keyboard navigation. It does not require jQuery, unlike most data grids out there.
I was trying to remove all legacy UI components from the frappe codebase. We were using SlickGrid for rendering tables. It was unmaintained and UI was dated. Other datatable solutions either didn't have the features we needed or were closed source. So we built our own.
- Cell: Enable editing within individual cells and features like custom formatters, inline editing, and mouse selection. Users can easily copy cell content, navigate through cells using the keyboard, and take advantage of a custom cell editor for advanced functionality.
- Column: Columns are highly flexible, allowing users to reorder, resize, and sort them with ease. Additional features include hiding/removing columns and adding custom actions.
- Row: Rows support advanced interactions, including row selection, tree-structured organization, and inline filters for precise control. They handle large datasets efficiently with dynamic row heights.
