react-table VS react-datepicker

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.

react-datepicker is a lightweight library with a lot of features.

I have added a date picker to my application. I want to make the selected date section read-only, but when I add readonly to the input, it blocks the entire date picker. I need to do this in css or its component. (without js)

Live demo

I searched for alternative date pickers to use in place of the default HTML one. I found out that there is a React Date Picker component that can be used in place of the field.

Exactly. There are tons of different ways to solve that problem in react-date picker, this being one of them: https://reactdatepicker.com/#example-year-dropdown

The trending project I researched and selected is react-datepicker https://github.com/Hacker0x01/react-datepicker/ I chose this project because datetime selection is a hard problem (localization, internationalization, accessibility, time zones, etc.) that we encounter daily, so a good library could be / can be very helpful.

https://reactdatepicker.com/ I’m a rookie intern and was tasked with theming this to the project / brand I’m working for. I personally recommend this.

I showed my team a "pretty good" version using react-hook-forms and react-datepicker, but when they asked me to move and resize and reshape and change colors, it was like I had to hack and custom build and add !important everywhere to override built in CSS, so much that is was decided it would be more efficient to build it from scratch.
