Row Data Source
A row data source provides LyteNyte Grid with the rows it needs to render. These specialized objects handle several key responsibilities:
- Providing row counts, including top and bottom pinned row counts
- Retrieving rows by index or by id
- Performing data aggregations
- Creating dynamic pivots
- Updating row data
- Managing in-filter items
- Handling row pagination
Not all row data sources support every capability defined in the interface. For example, the Tree Row Data Source does not support pagination functionality.
Enterprise VS Core
LyteNyte Grid Core includes a single built-in row data source - a client-side implementation that supports most grid capabilities such as grouping and aggregation. However, this core data source does not support Enterprise-only features like in-filters or pivots.
LyteNyte Grid Enterprise does not have a built-in data source, instead it exports React hooks for various data sources to precisely match the data loading needs of the client app.
Available Row Data Sources
LyteNyte Grid includes several data sources designed to meet common requirements. You can also create custom data sources for specialized needs.
- Client Row Data Source: Ideal when all data can be loaded on the client. Best suited for smaller datasets (approximately 4,000 rows or fewer)
- Server Row Data Source: Loads rows in blocks from a server, enabling server-driven views. Only a portion of the data is sent to the client, making this approach optimal for very large datasets
- Tree Data Source: Specialized for rendering hierarchical data structures in a tree format
In addition to these built-in options, you can develop a custom row data source tailored to your specific data loading requirements.
