Overview
So, you have an app that manages intensive datasets and you might think it’s straightforward enough to handle on your own. After all, implementing virtual scrolling might seem like all it takes.
But what happens when your needs grow?
Suppose you want to pin a row at the top or bottom. Add a column that also needs to be pinned. And then start grouping these elements. Soon, you might find yourself needing cell focus and range selections. This is where the complexity increases significantly.
In scenarios like this, maintaining performance while adding sophisticated grid functionalities can become difficult.
Motivation
Confronted with vast data streams, we realized the limitations of existing solutions: while on-market 3rd-party libraries offered temporary respite, they came with their own set of challenges—prompting us to think beyond conventional method:
Our goal is to create a truly reactive datagrid core, one that could stand shoulder to shoulder with any framework while being universally accessible for developers and organizations alike. It's designed to handle the most demanding data without compromising on performance, ensuring that your applications run smoothly and efficiently.
Magic behind the scene
Revogrid is built on top of StencilJS (a compiler for building fast web apps using Web Components), leveraging the power of a reactive DOM to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness. Its architecture is designed to handle large datasets with ease, providing a seamless user experience even in data-intensive applications.
This approach allows Revogrid to be framework-agnostic, ensuring developers can integrate it into any project regardless of the underlying technology stack.
VNode Reactive DOM
At the core of Revogrid's high performance is its use of a reactive DOM model (similar one you would find in any popular reactive framework Vue Virtual DOM, React Virtual DOM, etc.). This model ensures that only the parts of the grid that need updating are re-rendered, rather than the entire grid. This selective rendering mechanism is crucial for handling large amounts of data, as it significantly reduces the amount of DOM manipulation required, leading to smoother scrolling and interactions.
Framework Native Support
We have built native support for all popular frameworks, enabling you to integrate native elements directly inside the grid cells. For example, you can embed Vue/React/Angular components within RevoGrid, allowing for a rich and interactive data grid experience.
To use native elements in your grid, simply utilize our providers. This feature enhances flexibility and allows you to leverage the unique capabilities of each framework while maintaining a unified grid experience.
