react-table-library VS Material UI

Wow I have to read this! For a freelance client of mine, I have open sourced React Table Library [0] with the focus on tree operations. They are handling a folder/file tree structure of 100 thousands nodes where it is possible to move folders/files, clone them, lazy load them on a top and nested level, etc. And all of it in the same table structure.

After I finished the project, I kinda knew why Google Drive only allows to display and modify on the same hierarchical level. There are so many constraints that you have to consider when implementing this in a nested view with many nodes.

I'll use React Table Library for the UI, but this pattern can work with most other tables or datagrids in a very similar way.

Maybe give https://react-table-library.com/ a try :)

Perhaps react-table-library with its Chakra UI integration is worth a try!

Ah okay. Yes, I didn't link those yet. But essentially you can find all the features on the Features section over here https://react-table-library.com/

You could give react-table-library a shot :) The table cells are fully in your control, so you could just use an input field in them.

Check out this table's tree feature: https://react-table-library.com/

If someone is looking for a fully-featured table library that can use either Chakra or Mantine as theme, check out this library.

MUI is the OG of UI component libraries. They’ve been at the top back since when Bootstrap was a contender and are still maintaining a top spot in the era of Tailwind and other UI libraries. With more than 95k GitHub stars (and counting), and top companies using it in production, I’d say this is the open-source React component library with the most stars. MUI also has paid components available for enterprise users.

🎨 Project: Material UI 💡 Why Contribute: If design systems and UI frameworks are your thing, Material UI is a must-contribute project. Help maintain or enhance one of the most popular React component libraries used by thousands of developers globally.

Coincidentally, I thought it was this bug that bit you; it was reported a couple of days ago https://github.com/mui/material-ui/issues/43823

To start, I'll be using MUI's Album Template for demo purposes, as I feel that it uses some of the more common components that you'll likely be using. Please note that this repo is template is older so some of the components in it are deprecated.

The most popular CSS-in-JS libraries are styled-components and Emotion. MUI, a React component library, recently released a promising, zero-runtime CSS-in-JS library called Pigment CSS. This article will explore the features and benefits of Pigment CSS, offering a comparison to styled-components and Emotion based on performance, features, developer experience, and community support.

What is that supposed to represent in terms of pagination? Are they cursors...?

> I didn't think the code that generated the HTML from that was really worth testing because it was so superficial.

For what it's worth (as a frontend person), pagination is traditionally one of the trickier things for us to make sure is working correctly. Off-by-one mistakes can happen for example (especially with zero-indexed items). Or sometimes the prev/next buttons don't correctly use the same math as the page 1, 2, 3, etc. buttons. It gets even harder if you don't know the total length in the beginning, or if you allow multiple page sizes or sorts/filters, or use lazy loading, etc.

For those reasons I try to use a ready-built lib like MUI where all that is already tested internally (like https://github.com/mui/material-ui/blob/next/packages/mui-ma... or https://github.com/mui/material-ui/blob/next/packages/mui-ba...), but we still add our own automated and manual tests in our own usages.

But then again I'm bad at math and division, lol, so maybe it's just my own weakness.
