Optimize Cell Updates With Smart Re-rendering

March 13, 2024
Handsontable 14.2.0 now uses memoization to prevent unnecessary re-renders after user interactions like cell editing or scrolling.

Handsontable is a JavaScript library designed to help developers build interactive data grids into their web applications. Offering a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, it allows users to edit, sort, and filter data with ease. Highly customizable and compatible with popular frameworks like React and Angular, Handsontable empowers developers to build robust data manipulation features into their web applications.

Handsontable 14.2.0 improves cell re-rendering using the React wrapper. The wrapper now uses memoization to optimize performance during user interactions like cell editing or scrolling in the grid, allowing the wrapper to remember the previous state and only update the elements that have actually changed. This smarter approach results in a smoother and more stable experience in your Handsontable apps, especially for complex custom cell types.
