Ag Grid is INSANE. The client side version churns through our entire set like butter.
Even if it weren’t, I was prepared to dive into the graphQL implementation but haven’t needed to.
The only negative I have is the bloat. But I’m p sure v22 solves that by letting you load on demand vs the whole thing.
I can’t imagine ever using datatables again or having to make a server call to sort or filter.
That said, I'd argue it is still worth it, assuming you can afford it. It will save you tons of developer time down the road. Their documentation is top notch too.
For example, it has graphs built in! I have never seen any grid library do that.
Again, not affiliated with them in any shape or form, just a happy customer (trying to get a discount from them though, ha!)
You will find more in future. I use it for one of client, Financial service. I found bugs in ag-Grid, they wrote that it is custom work and that they will start custom work from 50,000$ only.
