slickgrid

This is the 6pac SlickGrid repo

Check out the NEW SlickGrid Website! http://slickgrid.net/

This is the acknowledged and most active fork of SlickGrid.

It aims to be a viable alternative master repo, building on the legacy of the mleibman/SlickGrid master branch, keeping dependencies up to date and applying, safe core patches and enhancements to keep the project up to date.

We extended the project from the original SlickGrid foundation while also including the following changes:

• added a few more Plugins: RowDetail, CellMenu, ContextMenu, GridMenu, CustomTooltip, GridState
• merged X-SlickGrid code into the project to bring Frozen Columns/Rows (aka Pinning)
• removed jQueryUI requirement in v3 (replaced it with SortableJS)
• removed jQuery requirement in v4
• modernized the project in v5 by migrating to TypeScript (we kept IIFE and added ES6/ESM build targets) and we also gave SlickGrid a fresh and more modern look via a new Alpine Theme (CSS/SASS)
• the project now has only 1 required small dependency which is SortableJS

Vite Demo

You can also see a ViteJS demo in the ./vite-demo folder (also available via the Stackblitz link below). This Vite demo was created mostly to test the project ESM build and also the SASS imports as well.

Stackblitz

You can also try out the Vite demo (mentioned just above) live via Stackblitz

Note: the Stackblitz demo only includes 2 examples, however there are a lot more example in the Examples Wiki page

Examples

Check out the Examples Wiki for a full list of examples demonstrating new features and use cases, such as dynamic grid creation and editors with third party controls.

Also take a look at the Wiki and Releases for documentation and news.

For a basic TypeScript example, take a look at the v5.0 Annoucement & Migration guide shown below and also the TypeScript Example Wiki.

Below is one of the available examples from Stackblitz which is mentioned just above

E2E Tests with Cypress

A lot of our Examples now have Cypress E2E (end to end) tests in the browser. You can see here the complete list of Examples that now have E2E tests. The biggest advantage is that these tests are executed in the GitHub Actions Workflow (CI) for every Pull Request and that is to avoid committing changes that might break the library. We currently have tests for over 35+ examples with about 400 tests.

We welcome any new contributions and if you wish to add Cypress E2E tests, all you need to do is to clone the repo and run the following commands

npm install         # install all npm packages
npm run dev         # run a local development server on port 8080 in watch mode (or `npm run serve` without watch)
npm run cypress     # open Cypress UI tool

Once the Cypress UI is open, you can then click on "Run all Specs" to execute all E2E browser tests.

Migrations

SlickGrid	Migration Guide	Description
3.x	Announcing v3.0	dropping jQueryUI requirement and replaced it with SortableJS which is a lot more modern and touch friendly
4.x	Announcing v4.0	dropping jQuery requirement, SlickGrid is now using browser native code
5.x	Announcing v5.0	project modernization, we added TypeScript with ES6, ESM builds and also a new Alpine Theme

CSP Compliance

The library is now, at least for the most part, CSP (Content Security Policy) compliant since v5.5.0, however there are some exceptions to be aware of. When using any html strings as template (for example with Custom Formatter returning an html string), you will not be fully compliant unless you return TrustedHTML. You can achieve this by using the sanitizer method in combo with DOMPurify to return TrustedHTML and for more info, you can take a look at the CSP Compliance Wiki.
