Getting started

This page explains how to get started with the SVAR React DataGrid component by adding a basic table to your React application.

Step 1. Install the package

Installation.

npm install wx-react-grid

Step 2. Create and initialize the Grid

Import the Grid component to your project with a css file:

import { Grid } from "wx-react-grid";
import "wx-react-grid/dist/grid.css";

export default function App() {
  return (
    // JSX code goes here
  );
}

Initialize the Grid properties.

The example below shows how to create a simple table with six columns and two rows.

The data array holds data to be displayed in the table and the columns array includes the table columns. It's necessary to define the components inside the Grid tag.

import { Grid } from "wx-react-grid";

const data = [
  {
    id: 1,
    city: "Amieshire",
    email: "Leora13@yahoo.com",
    firstName: "Ernest",
    lastName: "Schuppe",
    companyName: "Lebsack - Nicolas",
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    city: "Gust",
    email: "Mose_Gerhold51@yahoo.com",
    firstName: "Janis",
    lastName: "Vandervort",
    companyName: "Glover - Hermiston",
  },
];

const columns = [
  { id: "id", width: 50 },
  {
    id: "city",
    width: 100,
    header: "City",
    footer: "City",
  },
  {
    id: "firstName",
    header: "First Name",
    footer: "First Name",
    width: 150,
  },
  {
    id: "lastName",
    header: "Last Name",
    footer: "Last Name",
    width: 150,
  },
  {
    id: "email",
    header: "Email",
    footer: "Email",
  },
  {
    id: "companyName",
    header: "Company",
    footer: "Company",
  },
];

export default function App() {
  return <Grid data={data} columns={columns} />;
}

More instructions about loading data you can see here Loading data.

Step 3. Apply a theme

To add look and feel to the application and make all elements display correctly:

• Import one of the predefined themes:

  • Willow
  • WillowDark

• Add the div element with the theme class name:

import { getData } from "./common/data";
import { Grid } from "wx-react-grid";
import { Willow } from "wx-react-grid";

const data = getData();
const columns = [/* Define or import your columns here */];

function App() {
  return  (
     <div class="wx-willow-theme">
       <Grid data={data} columns={columns} />
     </div>
  );
}

export default App;
