Doesn't work for me in chrome.... because it seems to break with Ad Blockers... that could be a real killer for you.

I'm not having the same experience (using uBlock Origin)

Ok, disabled it and I still get a big blank blob where the grid should be... looks like the js load keeps failing. oh well.

Another plug - https://rowsncolumns.app

It's a canvas based SpreadSheet. The Grid works with React and Konva - https://konvajs.org/

You can see the demo here - https://rowsncolumns.app/demo

And a whole bunch of features and upcoming roadmap - https://rowsncolumns.app/#features

We are launching formula support with Web Workers soon.

It looks really great and the one million cells demo is impressive, but that price is way out of reach.

The price only includes support and the ability to remove branding. You can use it sans source code with branding for free.

So from what I understand this works by displaying data on a JS canvas. How does that work for accessibility? Do screen-readers read the data as if it was an html table?

It uses , but also has hacks for screen readers: open the demo and look for elements with the class of dgxl-innerColumn.

Hello HN, I’m Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6. My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there: - It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL. - It is lightweight (~200kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS. - It has its own Virtua…

How did you implement the scrolling such that it feels smooth/fast/native, but scrolls in one row/column steps (so you never see half a row)? CSS Scroll Snap? Nicely done.

That’s an interesting case because it’s certainly a cool effect, but it’s kind of a cumbersome UX on mobile. It makes it hard to keep track of the columns as you scroll up and down. At a glance it seems like both the Google Sheets and Numbers iOS apps have smooth scrolling instead of snapping.

Vote for simple formulas like sum etc.

Hi Robert,

This looks like a really great (clean and performant) JS library for interacting with data grid. I'll definitely remember to try it for my next side project.

A quick question: is there a way to make only some of the columns read-only in the grid? I looked through the doc [https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/setting-options] and it seems like user actions for columns are all (applied to every column) or none. If DataGridXL.js allows assigning read-only to a subset of columns, it'd be great to add that in the doc with an example.

Thanks for your hard work and especially for allowing others like me to try it for free!
