What is ag-grid-community?

ag-grid-community is a feature-rich data grid designed for the major JavaScript frameworks. It provides a highly customizable and performant grid component that can handle large datasets and complex data operations.

What are ag-grid-community's main functionalities?

Basic Grid Setup

This code sets up a basic grid with three columns (Make, Model, Price) and three rows of data. It demonstrates how to define column definitions and row data for the grid.

const gridOptions = {
  columnDefs: [
    { headerName: 'Make', field: 'make' },
    { headerName: 'Model', field: 'model' },
    { headerName: 'Price', field: 'price' }
  ],
  rowData: [
    { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Celica', price: 35000 },
    { make: 'Ford', model: 'Mondeo', price: 32000 },
    { make: 'Porsche', model: 'Boxster', price: 72000 }
  ]
};

// Assuming you have a div with id 'myGrid'
new agGrid.Grid(document.getElementById('myGrid'), gridOptions);

Sorting

This code adds sorting functionality to the grid. By setting the 'sortable' property to true in the column definitions, users can sort the data by clicking on the column headers.

const gridOptions = {
  columnDefs: [
    { headerName: 'Make', field: 'make', sortable: true },
    { headerName: 'Model', field: 'model', sortable: true },
    { headerName: 'Price', field: 'price', sortable: true }
  ],
  rowData: [
    { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Celica', price: 35000 },
    { make: 'Ford', model: 'Mondeo', price: 32000 },
    { make: 'Porsche', model: 'Boxster', price: 72000 }
  ]
};

new agGrid.Grid(document.getElementById('myGrid'), gridOptions);

Filtering

This code adds filtering functionality to the grid. By setting the 'filter' property to true in the column definitions, users can filter the data using the filter input boxes that appear in the column headers.

const gridOptions = {
  columnDefs: [
    { headerName: 'Make', field: 'make', filter: true },
    { headerName: 'Model', field: 'model', filter: true },
    { headerName: 'Price', field: 'price', filter: true }
  ],
  rowData: [
    { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Celica', price: 35000 },
    { make: 'Ford', model: 'Mondeo', price: 32000 },
    { make: 'Porsche', model: 'Boxster', price: 72000 }
  ]
};

new agGrid.Grid(document.getElementById('myGrid'), gridOptions);

Pagination

This code adds pagination to the grid. By setting the 'pagination' property to true and defining 'paginationPageSize', the grid will display a limited number of rows per page and provide pagination controls.

const gridOptions = {
  pagination: true,
  paginationPageSize: 10,
  columnDefs: [
    { headerName: 'Make', field: 'make' },
    { headerName: 'Model', field: 'model' },
    { headerName: 'Price', field: 'price' }
  ],
  rowData: [
    { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Celica', price: 35000 },
    { make: 'Ford', model: 'Mondeo', price: 32000 },
    { make: 'Porsche', model: 'Boxster', price: 72000 },
    // Add more rows as needed
  ]
};

new agGrid.Grid(document.getElementById('myGrid'), gridOptions);

⚡️ Quick Start

AG Grid is easy to set up - all you need to do is provide your data and define your column structure. Read on for vanilla JavaScript installation instructions, or refer to our framework-specific guides for React, Angular and Vue.

Installation

$ npm install --save ag-grid-community

Setup

1. Provide a Container

Load the AG Grid library and create a blank container div:

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <!-- Includes all JS & CSS for the JavaScript Data Grid -->
        <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ag-grid-community/dist/ag-grid-community.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <!-- Your Data Grid container -->
        <div id="myGrid"></div>
    </body>
</html>

2. Instantiating the JavaScript Data Grid

Create the Data Grid inside of your container div using createGrid.

// Grid Options: Contains all of the Data Grid configurations
const gridOptions = {};

// Your Javascript code to create the Data Grid
const myGridElement = document.querySelector('#myGrid');
agGrid.createGrid(myGridElement, gridOptions);

3. Define Rows and Columns

// Grid Options: Contains all of the Data Grid configurations
const gridOptions = {
    // Row Data: The data to be displayed.
    rowData: [
        { make: 'Tesla', model: 'Model Y', price: 64950, electric: true },
        { make: 'Ford', model: 'F-Series', price: 33850, electric: false },
        { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Corolla', price: 29600, electric: false },
    ],
    // Column Definitions: Defines the columns to be displayed.
    columnDefs: [
        { field: 'make' },
        { field: 'model' },
        { field: 'price' },
        { field: 'electric' },
    ],
};

4. Styling the JavaScript Data Grid

Add the ag-theme-quartz CSS class to your Data Grid container div to apply the Data Grid's theme.

<!-- Your Data Grid container -->
<div id="myGrid" class="ag-theme-quartz" style="height: 500px"></div>

🛠️ Customisations

AG Grid is fully customisable, both in terms of appearance and functionality. There are many ways in which the grid can be customised and we provide a selection of tools to help create those customisations.

Custom Components

You can create your own Custom Components to customise the behaviour of the grid. For example, you can customise how cells are rendered, how values are edited and also create your own filters.

There are a number of different Component Types that you can provide to the grid, including:

• Cell Component: To customise the contents of a cell.
• Header Component: To customise the header of a column and column groups.
• Edit Component: To customise the editing of a cell.
• Filter Component: For custom column filter that appears inside the column menu.
• Floating Filter: For custom column floating filter that appears inside the column menu.
• Date Component: To customise the date selection component in the date filter.
• Loading Component: To customise the loading cell row when using Server Side Row Model.
• Overlay Component: To customise loading and no rows overlay components.
• Status Bar Component: For custom status bar components.
• Tool Panel Component: For custom tool panel components.
• Tooltip Component: For custom cell tooltip components.
• Menu Item Component: To customise the menu items shown in the Column and Context Menus.

To supply a custom cell renderer and filter components to the Grid, create a direct reference to your component within the gridOptions.columnDefs property:

gridOptions = {
    columnDefs: [
        {
            field: 'country', // The column to add the component to
            cellRenderer: CountryCellRenderer, // Your custom cell component
            filter: CountryFilter, // Your custom filter component
        },
    ],
};

Themes

AG Grid has 4 themes, each available in light & dark modes. We also supply each theme with an auto mode that can toggle the theme based on the users' system preferences:

Quartz	Material
Alpine	Balham

To apply a theme, add the relevant CSS Class to the Data Grid container. For example, to apply the Quartz theme, use the CSS class ag-theme-quartz:

<div
    id="myGrid"
    style="height: 150px; width: 600px"
    class="ag-theme-quartz"
></div>

Custom Themes

All AG Grid themes can be customised using CSS variables, or you can create a new theme from scratch with the help of our Theme Builder or Figma Design System.
