Depending on the size of the table you might run into some issues. Rendering thousands of DOM elements is slow no matter what. If all your rows are in the DOM and you try to filter its going to cause thousands of DOM rewrites/calculations that are slow.

To get around this you'll need a table plugin that keeps your data in memory and only renders 20-200 rows at a time. Then when users scroll, the plugin will swap in the relevant in-memory data to the existing DOM elements.

This is a clever way to present a very large table; however, there's one major problem. As a viewer of this table, I expect it to behave like any other web content—that it's searchable (find on page) and selectable (I can select all, or select more than just the visible viewport). And this breaks that promise. With that said, I'm sure it fits the edge case of an extremely large table well. And kudos to sharing your project on GitHub. More on reddit.com

This looks real nice! There is a bunch of data grid libraries by now, but the great ones are commercial. I've run into issues with every last one of the free ones that I've tried. I took a good look at the documentation and your library seems to check pretty much all the boxes. One major feature that is missing is tree grid support (for recursive data). Another feature that I would like to see is unrestricted table height, especially with virtualization (so the table doesn't have its own scroll bar, but instead relies on the parent window's scroll bar. This works much better on mobile devices that having nested scrollable areas on the page). It would be also nice if there was a React binding. All of the free React data grid components I could find are rather basic, so there is a gap in the market. I could maybe help with that, but I've never wrapped a component this complex before, so it might be a bit over my head. Speaking of React, I am not a fan of your use of "Virtual DOM". That term means a specific thing and I am quite sure your use is not it. I found it quite confusing initially, looking for connections to React and not finding any. "Row virtualization" or "virtual rows" or something like that would be less confusing. BTW, a few of the links on the " Lifecycle " page are broken. More on reddit.com
