Question 1

How to enable cell editing in react-data-grid?

Accepted Answer

Use the `renderEditCell` prop on columns to provide a custom editor component, or use built-in editors like `renderTextEditor`. The README includes examples under the API reference for implementing editable cells.

Question 2

react-data-grid vs AG Grid: which is better?

Accepted Answer

React Data Grid is open-source with a flexible React-centric API and strong virtualization, ideal for custom integrations. AG Grid offers more enterprise features like built-in filtering but can be heavier. Choose based on your need for customization versus out-of-the-box functionality.

Question 3

Can react-data-grid handle server-side data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it doesn't manage server-side operations automatically. You need to handle data fetching, pagination, and sorting externally, then update the rows prop, as implied by the controlled sorting and editing callbacks.

Question 4

How to change the theme to dark mode?

Accepted Answer

Use CSS variables with `light-dark()` functions or apply the `rdg-dark` class to the grid. The README's styling section shows how to set color schemes via `:root` or grid-specific classes.

Question 5

Is react-data-grid accessible for keyboard users?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes built-in keyboard navigation and ARIA attributes, making it accessible for screen readers and keyboard interactions, as emphasized in the features and API documentation.

Question 6

What's the bundle size of react-data-grid?

Accepted Answer

It supports tree-shaking to keep bundles slim, but size can vary. Check the bundlephobia badge in the README for current metrics; it's moderate due to its comprehensive feature set.
