What is a Web Components Grid?
The Web Components data grid is a component used to display tabular data in a series of rows and columns. Data grids, also known as tables, are well known in the desktop world with popular software such as Microsoft Excel. While grids have been available on desktop platforms for a long time, they have recently become part of web app UIs, such as Web Components UI. Modern grids can be complex and may include a range of functionalities, including data binding, editing, Excel-like filtering, custom sorting, grouping, row reordering, row and column freezing, row aggregation, and exporting to Excel, CSV, and pdf formats.
Why Use a Web Components Grid?
Web Components data grids are essential in use cases where lots of data must be stored and sorted through quickly. This can include industries such as financial or insurance that use high-volume, high-velocity data frequently. Often the success of these companies is dependent on the functionality and performance of these data grids. When stock decisions need to be made in microseconds, for example, it’s imperative that the data grid performs with no lag time or flicker.
Key Features
The Ignite UI for Web Components Data Grid is not just for high-volume and real-time data. It is a feature-rich Web Components grid that gives you capabilities that you would never be able to accomplish with so little code on your own.
Here are a few of the data grid’s key features:
- [**Virtualized Rows and Columns**](grid/virtualization.md) so you can load millions of records
- [**Inline Editing**](grid/editing.md) with [**Cell**](grid/cell-editing.md), and [**Row**](grid/row-editing.md) Update options
- [**Excel-style Filtering**](grid/excel-style-filtering.md) and full [**Excel Keyboard Navigation**](grid/keyboard-navigation.md) capability
- Interactive [**Outlook-style Grouping**](grid/groupby.md)
- [**Column Summaries**](grid/summaries.md) based on any data in a grid cell or column
- [**Size**](grid/size.md) to adjust the height and sizing of the rows
Data Virtualization and Performance
Seamlessly scroll through unlimited rows and columns in your Web Components grid, with the data grid’s column and row level virtualization. With support for local or remote data sources, you get the best performance no matter where your data lives. Your users will experience Excel-like scrolling, with enterprise speed — no lag, screen flicker, or visual delay — giving you the best user experience (UX) without compromising performance.
Quick and Easy to Customize, Build and Implement
The Ignite UI Web Components Data Grid can handle unlimited rows and columns of data, while providing access to custom templates and real-time data updates. Featuring an intuitive API for easy theming and branding, you can quickly bind to data with minimal code.
Web Components Grid Paging, Sorting, Filtering, & Searching
Allow users to navigate your data set with our default [pager](grid/paging.md) or create your own template to give your own paging experience. With complete support for single and multi-column sorting, full-text [search](grid/search.md) on the grid, and several [advanced filtering](grid/advanced-filtering.md) options, including data-type based [Microsoft Excel-style Filtering](grid/excel-style-filtering.md).
Inline Web Components Grid Editing
We provide you default [cell templates for editable columns](data-grid.md#cell-editing-template) which are based on the data type of the column. You can define your own custom templates for editable columns and override default behavior for committing and discarding changes in the cell value.
Keyboard Navigation & Row/Cell Selection
Ensure accessibility compliance and improve usability, enabling Excel-like [keyboard navigation](grid/keyboard-navigation.md) in the Web Components data grid, using the up, down, right, left, tab, and Enter keys. You can toggle single or multiple row selection in the Web Components grid using the mouse or keyboard to select or de-select full rows, or use the built-in select all / de-select all checkbox in the grid toolbar to work with row selection.
