ag-Grid VS victory

In this post I’ll show you how, using the AG Grid component and Ably Spaces, you can create a React application that allows users to see not only who else is currently viewing the grid, but using a Flowbite Avatar Stack component, what row each user currently has selected.

something like ag-grid? https://github.com/ag-grid/ag-grid

I personally use https://www.ag-grid.com/ for all my data grid needs. It has a free community version (that should get you covered imo) as well as a paid one with advanced features.

To be fair, in any GUI toolkit, the "table" is abolutely the most complex general purpose widget. People really under estimate the difficult of an efficient implementation. Qt spents YEARS improving their QTableWidget class. The implementation is mind-bogglingly complex. I am sure many very smart summer interns (PhDs!) have tried to tweak that class to squeeze every bit of performance possible. The table class in GTK+ and MSFT DotNet's WPF are equally, freakishly insane.

Consider this idea: Most people who use a table class in a GUI framework assume it is essentially infinitely scalable (myself included!). I am talking about millions of rows or thousands of columns with all kinds of silly widgets injected into individual cells. It is a crazy hard computer science problem to solve. I would not doubt there are many PhD thesises written on the topic of fast, scalable table widgets.

Beyond desktop GUI toolkits, people have tried to do the same in a browser (HTML/CSS/JS). Have you seen AG-Grid? Woah, it is unbelievable how much goddamn data you can squeeze into that widget. Most Wall Streets web-based trading apps use it one way or another. It's just so hard to beat. Ref: https://www.ag-grid.com/ There must be 1,000 person years of optimisation sunk into that implementation.

Victory is a set of modular charting components for React and React Native. Victory makes it easy to get started without sacrificing flexibility. Create one of a kind data visualizations with fully customizable styles and behaviors. Victory uses the same API for web and React Native applications for easy cross-platform charting.

Victory Native is a chart library that was developed in 2015. It has been 7 years since its inception. With a high cumulative download count of 7,434,044, it has garnered an impressive 10.3k+ stars on GitHub. It is the longest-standing and most widely used chart library in the history of React Native.

Anyone use Victory? It looks like it is gaining traction.

For convenience of others, here’s a link to Victory Native’s project site (it’s a react.js library with a native version, so be sure to find the native docs).

Victory is a ReactJS and React Native chart library created by Formidable. It's based on ReactJS and D3, and comes with a slew of fully configurable charts pre-installed.

I've enjoyed using Victory - needs React tho: https://formidable.com/open-source/victory/

Victory is great, it doesn't officially support React 18 yet, you'll get warnings because the peer version is still looking for React 17, but it shouldn't be an issue if you force install. It's really just that the tests won't work with React 18, but it should be fine to use it in your project.

They have an open issue for React 18 support, but they are stuck because they are using Enzyme for unit tests (which is effectively obsolete and will likely never work with React 18). So their plan appears to be to move from Enzyme to RTL first and then support React 18.
