Data-heavy React apps rarely start with five UI vendors. They get there one reasonable decision at a time. The base component library has no serious grid, so the team adds one. The grid vendor's charts don't fit, so a chart…

In most large organizations, every React app has its own UI stack. One team uses MUI with AG Grid, another uses Ant Design with Recharts, a third has a homegrown table, and the legacy app still runs on Ext JS.…

Ask a React team what they use for UI, and you'll usually hear the name of a react ui component library: a set of buttons, inputs, dialogs, and tables they assemble into screens. For many apps, that's exactly right. But…

A UI component library is one of the longest-lived decisions in an enterprise front end. Frameworks get upgraded, and backends get rewritten, but the components on users' screens (the grids, charts and forms they use every day) often stay for…

A React data grid that feels instant with 1,000 rows can freeze with 100,000 and crash the tab with a few million. The fix isn't a faster grid alone. Good data grid performance at millions of rows comes from two…

Picking a React grid component looks easy in week one. Every option sorts columns and scrolls through a few hundred rows. The differences show up months later, when users ask for grouped subtotals, frozen columns, Excel export, and smooth scrolling…

Almost every enterprise React data grid advertises the same features: grouping, pivoting, Excel export, clipboard, server-side data. The difference is where those features live. In most grids, the core is free and the features enterprise teams actually need sit in…

Four features decide most enterprise React data grid evaluations: column locking, pivoting, export and server-side data. They're the features users ask for once an app is in real use, the ones vendors most often keep in paid tiers, and the…

We know that Ext JS is a war tank. When it comes to handling absurd volumes of data and complex front-end architectures, few frameworks come close. However, writing entire themes based on Sass can become rigid compared to the agile…
