Displaying data effectively is essential for modern apps, but traditional table libraries often come with fixed UI and limited flexibility. What if you could control exactly how your tables look and behave without being locked into a specific design?
Headless UI for Building Powerful Tables & Data Grids is an open-source, headless UI library (powered by TanStack Table) that provides robust table and datagrid logic while giving you full control over markup, styles, and rendering — perfect for building custom, high-performance data tables in React and other frameworks.
📌 Key Features:
✅ Headless Architecture – Logic separated from UI; you build your own markup and styles.
✅ Composable Feature System – Opt into sorting, filtering, pagination & more as needed.
✅ Sorting & Filtering – Built-in utilities for advanced data operations.
✅ Grouping & Aggregation – Organize and summarize complex datasets.
✅ Pagination Support – Client-side and server-side pagination options.
✅ Row Selection & Expansion – Manage interactivity without UI constraints.
✅ Virtualization Friendly – Integrate with virtualization libs for large datasets.
🛠 Technologies & Libraries Used:
💻 TanStack Table (@tanstack/react-table) – Headless table engine with advanced utilities.
📦 TypeScript & JavaScript – Strong typing with flexible JS usage.
🧠 Framework Adapters – React, Vue, Solid, Svelte & more (via bindings).
🌟 Purpose of the Project:
Headless table libraries empower developers to build fully customizable tables and datagrids without forcing prebuilt UI or themes. This lets you integrate the logic with any styling system or design system you choose while maintaining flexibility and performance — ideal for dashboards, admin panels, reporting tools, and dynamic interfaces.
