Grid.js is a TypeScript table library that renders interactive HTML tables with features like sorting, searching, pagination, and row/cell selection. It follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns: core grid functionality, configuration system, data pipeline for processing data through stages (extraction, transformation, filtering, sorting, limiting), storage abstraction for client/server data sources, UI components built with Preact, and a plugin system for extensibility. Data flows from user-provided sources through storage adapters, then through pipeline processors that handle server initiation, data extraction, format transformation, filtering, sorting, and pagination before reaching the view layer for rendering. User interactions trigger pipeline reprocessing to update the display.
VxeTable is a Vue 3 component library for building complex, enterprise-grade data tables and grids. It provides a comprehensive set of features including virtual scrolling for millions of rows, inline editing, Excel-style copy-paste, column resizing/dragging, filtering, sorting, pivot tables, tree/gannt views, and export/import/print. The library is architected as a set of Vue components (VxeTable, VxeGrid, VxeColumn, VxeToolbar, VxeColgroup) with an extensible plugin system based on hooks and renderers. It relies on a companion UI library (vxe-pc-ui) for modals, buttons, selects, and other controls, and uses xe-utils for utility functions. The codebase is large and well-organized, with separate modules for editing, filtering, keyboard navigation, validation, column customization, and export. Performance is a key focus, with virtual scrolling implemented for both X and Y axes. The library supports i18n with over 20 languages and includes a comprehensive theming system with light/dark modes. While primarily a UI component library, it also includes proxy-based server-side data operations in the VxeGrid component. The repository includes a demo application (examples/) for testing features, though the main artifact is the published npm package.
