Requirements

Quick Start

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { Grid, type GridOptions } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

function App() {
  const [options] = useState<GridOptions>({
    dataTable: {
      columns: {
        name: ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
        age: [23, 34, 45],
        city: ['New York', 'Oslo', 'Paris']
      }
    },
    caption: {
      text: 'My Grid'

  });

  return <Grid options={options} />;
}

API

Grid

React component that wraps Highcharts Grid Lite.

Props

• options (required): Configuration options for the grid. Type: GridOptions
• gridRef (optional): React ref to access the underlying grid instance. Type: RefObject<GridRefHandle<GridOptions>>
• callback (optional): Callback function called when the grid is initialized. Receives the grid instance as parameter. Type: (grid: GridInstance<GridOptions>) => void

GridOptions

Type exported from the package for TypeScript support.

import type { GridOptions } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

GridRefHandle

Type for the gridRef handle that provides access to the underlying grid instance.

import type { GridRefHandle } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

const gridRef = useRef<GridRefHandle<GridOptions> | null>(null);
// Access the grid instance via gridRef.current?.grid

GridInstance

Type for the grid instance returned by gridRef or callback.

import type { GridInstance } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

Using gridRef and Callback

You can access the grid instance in two ways:

Using gridRef:

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Grid, type GridRefHandle, type GridOptions } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

function App() {
  const gridRef = useRef<GridRefHandle<GridOptions> | null>(null);
  
  const handleClick = () => {
    // Access the grid instance
    const gridInstance = gridRef.current?.grid;
    if (gridInstance) {
      console.log('Grid instance:', gridInstance);
    }
  };

  return (
    <>
      <Grid options={options} gridRef={gridRef} />
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Access Grid</button>
    </>
  );
}

Using callback:

import { Grid, type GridInstance, type GridOptions } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';

function App() {
  const handleGridReady = (grid: GridInstance<GridOptions>) => {
    console.log('Grid initialized:', grid);
  };

  return <Grid options={options} callback={handleGridReady} />;
}

Next.js Integration

When using this package with Next.js, you need to disable Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for the Grid component:

'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
import { type GridOptions } from '@highcharts/grid-lite-react';
import '@highcharts/grid-lite/css/grid-lite.css';

// Disable SSR for the Grid component
const Grid = dynamic(
  () => import('@highcharts/grid-lite-react').then((mod) => mod.Grid),
  { ssr: false }
);

export default function Page() {
  const [options] = useState<GridOptions>({
    dataTable: {
      columns: {
        name: ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
        age: [23, 34, 45]
      }
    }
  });

  return <Grid options={options} />;
}

Important: The Grid component must be rendered client-side only. Always use dynamic import with ssr: false and mark your component with 'use client' directive.
