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.

To see a full list of what's new in version 14.2.0, see our release notes.

Handsontable is licensed per developer and is available as an Annual or Perpetual license with 1 year support and maintenance. See our Handsontable licensing page for full details.

Visually Highlight Critical Data Elements

March 12, 2024
Enhance data visualization and user experience by drawing attention to important React grid data with conditional formatting.

Conditional formatting in a grid allows you to dynamically alter the visual style of cells based on specific criteria within your data. This functionality enhances readability and user experience by highlighting important information. For instance, negative values can be displayed in red, exceeding values in bold, and empty cells with a light gray background, all within the grid itself. This reduces the need for users to manually scan through data and immediately draws attention to critical elements.

Several React grid controls offer conditional formatting, including:

  • KendoReact Data Grid (part of KendoReact by Telerik) facilitates applying custom styles and colors to grid cells based on data conditions.
  • Wijmo FlexGrid (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) empowers developers to implement conditional formatting rules for visual data analysis in React apps.
  • Handsontable by Handsoncode enables the creation of data grids with dynamic cell formatting dependent on specific values.
  • jQWidgets Grid (part of jQWidgets) offers conditional formatting capabilities to highlight patterns and trends within React data grids.
  • Syncfusion Grid (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) provides conditional formatting rules to enhance grid data visualization.
