Getting Started: add Jspreadsheet to your React project. You can quickly install the library using npm with a simple command in the terminal

npm install jspreadsheet

Creating the Spreadsheet: The goal is to set up an interface where you can easily view and edit data. Imagine a spreadsheet displaying products, prices, and quantities. This helps users quickly access the information they need.

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import jspreadsheet from 'jspreadsheet';
import 'jspreadsheet/dist/jspreadsheet.css';

const SpreadsheetComponent = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    jspreadsheet(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'), {
      data: [
        ['Product', 'Price', 'Quantity'],
        ['T-Shirt', 29.90, 100],
        ['Pants', 79.90, 50],
      ],
      columns: [
        { type: 'text', title: 'Product', width: 150 },
        { type: 'numeric', title: 'Price', width: 100 },
        { type: 'numeric', title: 'Quantity', width: 100 },
      ],
    });
  }, []);

  return <div id="spreadsheet"></div>;
};

export default SpreadsheetComponent;

Dynamic Data: One of the most interesting features of Jspreadsheet is its ability to handle constantly changing data. By using React's state management, you can dynamically manage the spreadsheet's information. This adds flexibility to your application.

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import jspreadsheet from 'jspreadsheet';
import 'jspreadsheet/dist/jspreadsheet.css';

const SpreadsheetComponent = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([
    ['Product', 'Price', 'Quantity'],
    ['T-Shirt', 29.90, 100],
    ['Pants', 79.90, 50],
  ]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const spreadsheet = jspreadsheet(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'), {
      data: data,
      columns: [
        { type: 'text', title: 'Product', width: 150 },
        { type: 'numeric', title: 'Price', width: 100 },
        { type: 'numeric', title: 'Quantity', width: 100 },
      ],
    });

    spreadsheet.onchange = function () {
      const newData = spreadsheet.getData();
      setData(newData);
    };
  }, []);

  return <div id="spreadsheet"></div>;
};

export default SpreadsheetComponent;

In this setup, whenever something is changed in the spreadsheet, the state in React is automatically updated. This keeps the application flexible and ensures that the information is always in sync.
