Angular data grids have become an important tool in almost any Angular application, especially in the enterprise sector. There are many options when choosing an Angular data grid, so we will compare some popular options. This will be an honest review based on our opinion from experience in the industry. Now, let's take a look compare some popular options. This will be an honest review based on our opinion from experience in the industry. Now, let's take a look at some popular Angular data grids and how they stack up. Widgmo FlexGrid. Without question, our top choice for an Angular data grid is Widgmo's

FlexGrid because of our experience and knowledge of this grid. Let's break down why Thesis our data grid of choice. First is FlexGrid's deep integration with Angular. It is not only a JavaScript data grid that works in Angular. It is a specialized Angular component. One key aspect is that FlexGrid can be fully configured in Angular markup. So, all properties and events can be declared in markup. You can configure all column sass child elements of FlexGrid in markup while most

other grids do not support this simple function. Best of all, you can create custom cell templates in Markup. Inside cell templates, you can add custom Markup, including other Angular components, HTML elements, and even expressions or bindings. Flexgrid really is the most deeply integrated Angular data grid, true to its name. Another unique feature is its flexibility. Flexgrid really is the most deeply integrated angular data grid, true to its name, another unique feature is its flexibility. Flexgrid can be used in bound or unbound modes. It has multiple APIs for customizing the grid. You can customize any aspect of Flexgrid rendering down to every single cell. If you have a special use case, Flexgrid can almost certainly accommodate it. If Flexgridrid doesn't have the

exact feature you need, it definitely has the extensibility point to create it. FlexGrid is also fast, lightweight, and modular. With virtualized rendering, IT only renders DOM for what is visible in the grid's viewport, performing well no matter how much data you bind to it. Widgmo also has a very lightweight grid module, only including key features. Special features are added in optional extensions. This allows you to pick and choose only what you need in your app, keeping your app small and fast. Another feature that sets FlexGrid apart is its superior customer service. The Widgmo team is very hands-on and is always happy to offer technical support and solutions for customers.

If a feature isn't supported, they will often build a custom extension and provide it to the customer. They also offer plenty of sample applications that include source code and are very helpful resources for beginners and experts alike. FlexGrid is part of a larger product called Widgmo. When downloading FlexGrid, you can access many more components, such as pivot grids, charts, maps, editors, and more. AG Grid. AG Grid is another great option for Angular data grids. It has quality performance and is feature-rich. One benefit of AG Grid is that they offer a free community edition. This is not for commercial use but is a nice option for students and non-profits. They offer good documentation but don't feature as many sample applications as others. AG Grid does not offer deep integration with Angular in that you can't define columns and

child components in markup. Instead, you have to define columns and options in JavaScript. Kendo UI Grid Kendo UI, similar to Wigmo, includes many components in addition to the Angular data grid. One of Kendo UI's strengths is its long list of features. The only disadvantage is that it is not as modular as others which results in the app becoming too big. Kendo UI also offers deep integration with Angular. You can fully declare the Kendo UI grid in Markup, including columns and child components. Kendo UI offers many sample applications as well, which are a very helpful resource.

Handsuntable. Another popular data grid is Handsuntable, though it is more similar to ASP Read Sheet than a grid. This grid also includes a long list of features. Hansuntable, similar to AG Grid, offers a limited free edition. Hansuntable does not offer deep integration with Angular in that you can't define columns and child components in markup. Instead, you have to define columns and options in JavaScript. DHTMLX Grid Last on the list is DHTMLX Grid. This is an older data grid that works in Angular. It is part of a suite,

so it includes some additional components, but powerful components, such as Pivot, are sold separately. DHTMLX Grid includes many features but does not seem to be modular in design. DHTMLX Grid does not offer deep integration with Angular in that you can't define columns and child components in Markup. Instead, you have to define columns and options in JavaScript. Conclusion. There are many quality options when choosing an Angular data grid. When making your decision, you should consider which variables are most important to you, from performance to features to additional components. Widgmos FlexGrid is our top choice, but you might find another grid

to be a better match. This review of the high-level differences between these popular Angular data grids should help make your decision easier when considering which grid to house in future projects.
