Ask Sencha AIIf you’re developing a data-driven web application with React 16, chances are you’ll use a grid or spreadsheet-like interface at some point to display data for your users. A grid can be one of the trickiest and most complex UI components to build in React because many of the necessary features require both significant React expertise, as well as the willingness and ability to dig down into the DOM. Fortunately, the ExtReact Grid provides all of these capabilities and more. In this article, we’re going to create an example using the Sencha ExtReact Grid that shows information about Stocks and equities companies. If you want to code a grid using an HTML table or another third-party component, you might have to do something like handle clicking on a column header to sort, or clicking on a divider between a column header to resize, or maybe sliding a pager and doing a fetch for the next page of data. With ExtReact Grid, these functionalities are built in. Read on to get started with building an application using ExtReact Grid!

JavaScript is transforming development teams’ expectations for desktop, server and mobile apps. JavaScript based hybrid apps or progressive web apps provide great benefits for enterprise applications – as you can create native and web apps with the same code base, resulting in less development costs and faster time to market. Enhancements to JavaScript are enabling it to break free of the browser, while technologies such as Node.js and its package manager npm facilitate creation of portable front-end and back-end apps that rival those traditionally created for desktop and mobile environments.

React uses a declarative, component-based approach, allowing developers to build apps by composing components into larger components that encapsulate their own data and logic. This encapsulation makes it much easier to understand, improve, refactor and maintain even large-scale apps. If you’re developing a sophisticated, data-driven app with React, you can take advantage of the components offered in ExtReact.
