Show HN: Datagridxl.js v2 – no-nonsense fast Excel-like data table lib (datagridxl.com)

4 points by robbiejs ↗ HN
Hello HN,

I’m Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. After 1,5 years of hard work I have just released version 2.

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 (~250kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS.

- It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors.

- Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers

Please take a look at the performance demo (https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells) to see the difference with other data grids out there. And let us know if you have any suggestions.

What's new in version 2:

* Rapidly search cells via top bar, just like Google Sheets.

* Freeze any amount of rows and/or columns.

* Hide and unhide rows and/or columns, just like in Google Sheets.

* Multi-Range Selection

* Fullscreen Mode

* Input bar at the bottom, so it works on touch devices too.
