If you are impressed by datatables, you should check out Ag-Grid. It is much, much more powerful than datatables. The only negative thing about ag-grid is its price, otherwise it is a pleasure to work with.

I am not affiliated with them, just a very happy customer

Can’t agree more. We were using vue-tables-2, which got the job done, but the maintainer went MIA for a few months (he did just recently push a new update).

Ag Grid is INSANE. The client side version churns through our entire set like butter.

Even if it weren’t, I was prepared to dive into the graphQL implementation but haven’t needed to.

The only negative I have is the bloat. But I’m p sure v22 solves that by letting you load on demand vs the whole thing.

I can’t imagine ever using datatables again or having to make a server call to sort or filter.

If you are not operating within the React Framework, I can totally agree with this. I used Ag-Grid before I built React Table and it shines as a JS-only datagrid. Start using React however, and I don't believe that is the case.

Holy crap, just checked out their pricing and it is $750 per developer (for enterprise edition)! That is more expensive than JetBrains all products, $649.

Yes, it is expensive. Not just 750, you also have to pay another 750 for deployment license per production environment. And it is 1200 if your devs are working on more than one project.

That said, I'd argue it is still worth it, assuming you can afford it. It will save you tons of developer time down the road. Their documentation is top notch too.

For example, it has graphs built in! I have never seen any grid library do that.

Again, not affiliated with them in any shape or form, just a happy customer (trying to get a discount from them though, ha!)

Expensive? I am CTO at ag-Grid competitor(FancyGrid). And I used ag-Grid to check it in details.

You will find more in future. I use it for one of client, Financial service. I found bugs in ag-Grid, they wrote that it is custom work and that they will start custom work from 50,000$ only.
