material-table VS ag-Grid

Material-Table is a library that I used to use a lot. It was awesome. Unfortunately, the maintainer does not seem to be active on GitHub anymore, and the project is no longer being actively maintained. It went a couple of years without getting any updates, and there are some glaring NPM audit security warnings that you will receive if you install this in your project.

// https://github.com/mbrn/material-table/pull/2937#issuecomment-879017952 import MaterialTable, { MaterialTableProps } from 'material-table' import { TablePagination, TablePaginationProps } from '@material-ui/core' function PatchedPagination(props: TablePaginationProps) { const { ActionsComponent, onChangePage, onChangeRowsPerPage, ...tablePaginationProps } = props return ( { const { onPageChange, ...actionsComponentProps } = subprops return ( // @ts-expect-error ActionsComponent is provided by material-table ) }} /> ) } export default PatchedPagination

I'm trying to integrate react material-table (https://github.com/mbrn/material-table) with my project.

I'm using Material Table and I need change the Action column name but this column is automatic generated because I'm using editable function from material table.

okay more so like the exxample in here, https://www.npmjs.com/package/material-table

Ik like material table a lot. It's pretty easy to get started with and has great customization options.

The free offering is very lackluster, I currently roll my own editable table inspired by https://github.com/mbrn/material-table. The main reason was the inability to add frontend validation, but now it has a lot of functions that I need, each custom for my needs.

e.g: https://material-table.com/#/

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.
