react-table VS dnd-kit

Tanstack - Tanstack has evolved to an entire ecosystem consisting of the famous Tanstack (or React) Query, Tanstack Table, now also Tanstack Router and Tanstack Form. It started with Tanstack Query, which adopted Nx and Nx Cloud. Zack talked about this collab with Dominik, and we also had Dominik on our Nx live stream. Now, all the above-mentioned Tanstack libs have adopted Nx, and there's more coming.

If you want to bring your own UI, TanStack Table (formerly React Table) [0], if you want something that's batteries included, MUI [1]. There are of course other options with either close or full feature parity, but these are the two I see most often with least pain across different companies. While we're on the topic of recommendations, avoid any- and everything by Telerik.

Happy to help, here's one for next time you need tables: https://github.com/TanStack/table

Or for the table react-table can be a powerful option to consider.

svelte-headless-table: Unopinionated and extensible data tables for Svelte. (I haven't tried tanstack-table, but I've heard good things about it)

solution

For this week's pick, I chose TanStack Table, a table-building solution that offers power and flexibility. This headless UI solution provides a lightweight and agnostic core, making it easy to integrate into any React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, or TS/JS project.

dndkit seemed very promising, until I realized the state of development [0], and critical performance issues if you want to use it for larger lists (individual issues linked within [0]). So it's fine if you need to use it for simple scenarios and a smaller number of items, but otherwise, it's inadequate in current state, unfortunately...The fact that the post was in Aug 2023, perf. issues still remain and there's low activity on issues in general, doesn't bode well...

dnd-kit is one of the newest ones, it is modern, light-weight, and performant.

Website: DND Kit

Yup that's the one. Also recommend checking out [dnd-kit](https://dndkit.com), which we may migrate to at a later date.

You can drag and drop things in pure assembly by using native browsers APIs or using a library like https://dndkit.com/.

DND Kit is a React library for building complex drag-and-drop web applications. It provides a set of APIs for handling drag-and-drop interactions, making it easier to build custom drag-and-drop.

you can check https://dndkit.com for the drag and drop.
