Key Features

• High Performance: Render 1M+ rows and millions of cells with no hard row limit in the grid. Virtualization keeps the DOM focused on the visible viewport.

• Accessibility: Follows WAI-ARIA best practices.

• RTL Support: Comprehensive Right-to-Left language support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and other RTL languages. Features automatic column reordering, proper text alignment, and layout adjustments for RTL interfaces.

• Keyboard Support:

  • Excel-like focus for efficient navigation and editing.
  • Seamless copy/paste from Excel, Google Sheets, or any other sheet format.

• Lightweight: Minimal initial bundle size. Can be imported with polyfills or as a module for modern browsers.

• Intelligent Virtual DOM: Smart row recombination to minimize redraws.

• Virtual Scroll: Handles large datasets without rendering every row or column into the DOM.

• Drag and Drop: Drag and drop in rows and columns.

• Sorting: Multiple options, customizable per column, with advanced event handling.

• Filtering:

  • Predefined system filters.
  • Multi column filters.
  • Conditional filters.
  • Preserve existing collections.
  • Selection.
  • Slider.
  • Header filtering.
  • Custom filters to extend system filters with your own set.

  Blank filters preserve source-value identity and own-property presence. By default, null, owned undefined, exactly "", and missing own properties are blank; whitespace-only strings, false, 0, NaN, arrays, and objects are not. The policy can be configured at grid level and overridden field-by-field per column with blankSemantics. Existing saved empty and notEmpty operator IDs remain compatible and are labeled “Is blank” and “Is not blank.”

  ts

  const filter = {
    blankSemantics: {
      whitespaceOnlyString: true,
      emptyArray: true,
      isBlank(value, context, fallbackResult) {
        return value === 'N/A' || fallbackResult;
      },
    },
  };
  
  const columns = [{
    prop: 'tags',
    filter: 'array',
    // Partial column policy; other fields inherit the grid policy.
    blankSemantics: { emptyArray: false },
  }];
  

  An inherited property counts as missing. A cellParser supplies the value for ordinary comparisons but does not replace the raw value used for blank checks. The callback receives the source value, row model, column, property, parsed value, own-property status, effective policy, and fallback result. “Is not blank” is the exact inverse of the resolved blank predicate. Typed operators remain strict; blank configuration never normalizes false, 0, or arrays into another source value.

With Yarn:

yarn add @revolist/revogrid;

Browser Support

Framework

In <revo-grid /> we have developed a sophisticated Continuous Delivery (CD) system powered by GitHub Actions. This advanced system automatically builds and delivers grid versions across multiple frameworks, including React, Angular, Svelte, Vue 2, Vue 3, and Plotly Dash for Python, with full type support. This ensures continuous version delivery, providing the latest grid enhancements and upgrades across all supported frameworks ✨. In the future (version 5), we are planning to switch to monorepo-based development.

• Vue 3 and Vue 2
• React
• Angular
• Svelte
• Dash / Python
• JavaScript

Basic Usage

RevoGrid functions as a web component. Simply place the component on your page and access its properties as you would with any other HTML element. It also offers multiple ways to integrate our grid into your project:

• Import the grid into your project

JavaScript Data Grid Simple Usage

// Select the RevoGrid element from the DOM
const grid = document.querySelector('revo-grid');

// Define the columns for the grid
grid.columns = [{ prop: 'name', name: 'First Column' }, { prop: 'details' }];
// Define the data source for the grid
grid.source = [{ name: 'New Item', details: 'Item Description' }];

Custom cell template

// Select the RevoGrid element from the DOM
const grid = document.querySelector('revo-grid');

// Define the columns for the grid
grid.columns = [
  {
    prop: 'name',
    name: 'Custom cell template',
    // Custom cell template
    cellTemplate(h, { value }) {
      return h(
        'div',
        {
          style: { backgroundColor: 'red' }, // Styling the cell background
          class: { 'inner-cell': true }, // Adding a CSS class
        },
        value || '' // Display the cell content or an empty string if undefined
      );
    },
  },
];
// Define the data source for the grid
grid.source = [{ name: 'New Item' }];

Example and guide

• Vue 3 and Vue 2
• React
• Angular
• Svelte
• Dash / Python
• JavaScript

Versions

• 2.0+: Introduced the plugin system, grouping, sorting, and filtering.

• 3.0+: Breaking changes introduced:

  • Removed the redundant viewport component.
  • Renamed classes to support Bootstrap and other libraries:
    • row -> rgRow
    • col -> rgCol
    • data-cell -> rgCell
    • data-header-cell -> rgHeaderCell
  • Migrated all method names to lowercase to align with modern event naming conventions. For example, afterEdit is now afteredit. Check the API for details.
  • Added support for pure ESM modules to enable the use of the grid in all modern frontend tooling like Vite, Parcel, etc. You can now import custom elements without lazy loading. Note that you are responsible for polyfills.

• 4.0+: Breaking changes introduced. See the migration guide.

• Redesigned type support: - Removed deprecated namespaces: - Before: RevoGrid.ColumnRegular - Now: ColumnRegular; - Improved type import: - Before: import { RevoGrid } from '@revolist/revogrid/dist/types/interfaces' - Now: import { ColumnRegular } from '@revolist/revogrid'. - Changed viewport type names everywhere. For example, before: rowDefinitions: [{ type: "row", index: 0, size: 145 }], after: rowDefinitions: [{ type: "rgRow", index: 0, size: 145 }].

  • Updated event naming convention. Review your event usage. Event names are all lowercase now and are aligned with modern event naming conventions. For example, afterEdit -> afteredit.
  • Multiple event breaking changes introduced: beforerowrender now returns BeforeRowRenderEvent. Check all events for details.

• Major improvements:

  • Rethought the entire framework approach. Introduced Pro version with advance support and pro features.
  • Introduced slot support.
  • Updated scrolling system for better mobile support.
  • Advance template support. Introduced additionalData for templates and editors. Prop gives access to parent/root app context.
  • Redesigned the documentation.
  • Fixed major issues and significantly improved overall performance, making the grid multiple time faster.
  • Enhanced plugin support - now with full access to grid providers.
  • Updated documentation.
  • Provided full framework support and native render for Angular, React, Svelte and Vue.

• What next?

Testing

RevoGrid is thoroughly tested to ensure reliability and stability.

E2E Tests

End-to-end tests use @stencil/playwright to run <revo-grid> in a real Chromium browser. The dev server starts automatically when you run:

npm run test:e2e

Test files live in e2e/ and share helpers from e2e/helpers.ts:

Local startup troubleshooting

For targeted local work, confirm a new or changed test is discoverable before starting the dev server:

./node_modules/.bin/playwright test e2e/pinning.spec.ts --grep "test name" --list

Then run a non-watch Stencil build to catch compile errors without invoking the Playwright web-server lifecycle:

./node_modules/.bin/stencil build --dev --serve --no-open

If Playwright fails before any tests run with a Stencil dev-server startup error such as ERR_SOCKET_BAD_PORT and port 65536, treat it as an environment/startup issue rather than an e2e assertion failure. Check node -v and whether another local server is already using localhost:3333, then retry only after changing that environment state.
