30 Jan 202316 minutes to read

This document helps you to create a simple Remix application with React Framework and Syncfusion React components.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with Syncfusion React Components with Remix project, check whether the following are installed in the developer machine.

  • Node.js 14 or greater

  • npm 7 or greater

Benefits to using Remix

Nested pages

The pages inside ./route folder is nested in the route where you can embed these components into the parent page. It reduces the loading time of the page.

Error boundaries

If you get an error in a nested route or a Remix component, the errors are limited and the component will fail to render, but it doesn’t break the entire page.

Transition

Remix automatically handles all loading states, you have to do is tell Remix what to show when the app is loading.

Create Remix application

Install create-remix by running the following command.

npm install -g create-remix

To setup basic Remix sample, use the following commands.

npx create-remix@latest

create-remix@latest command create the remix app with latest version of packages.

When you run this command, You will be asked the following questions.

Where would you like to create your app? quick-start
What type of app do you want to create? Just the basics
Where do you want to deploy? Choose Remix if you're unsure; it's easy to change deployment targets. Remix App Server
TypeScript or JavaScript? Typescript
Do you want me to run `npm install`? Yes
  • The Remix app is created in quick-start folder.

  • There are two types of app creation in remix such as A pre-configured stack ready for production and Just the Basics. For this sample Just the Basics is chosen.

  • There are a number of servers to choose. We use the default, Remix App Server.

  • There is also a choice between TypeScript and JavaScript. In this example Typescript is used.

After app created, use the below command to step inside app folder.

cd quick-start

Adding Syncfusion Grid packages

All the available Syncfusion React packages are published in npmjs.com public registry. To install React Grid component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-grids --save

The –save will instruct NPM to include the Grid package inside of the dependencies section of the package.json.

Adding CSS reference

Reference themes for Syncfusion components in the app/route.tsx as CSS reference.

export let links = () => {
  return [{ rel: "stylesheet", href: "https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/material.css" }];
};

Adding React Grid component

Now, you can add Syncfusion React components in the Remix application. For getting started, add the React Grid component in app/route/index.tsx file using following code.

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, Inject, Page, Sort } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from '../datasource';

export let meta = () => {
  return {
    title: "Syncfusion Grid Remix",
    description: "Syncfusion Grid components with Remix",
  };
};

export default function Index() {
  return (
    <><GridComponent dataSource={data} allowPaging={true}>
      <ColumnsDirective>
        <ColumnDirective field="OrderID" width="100" textAlign="Right" />
        <ColumnDirective field="CustomerID" width="100" />
        <ColumnDirective field="EmployeeID" width="100" textAlign="Right" />
        <ColumnDirective field="Freight" width="100" format="C2" textAlign="Right"/>
        <ColumnDirective field="ShipCountry" width="100" />
      </ColumnsDirective>
      <Inject services={[Page, Sort]} />
    </GridComponent></>
  );
}

Create a data source file in app/datasource.tsx and add the following data for the grid component.

export let data: Object[] = [
    {
        OrderID: 10248, CustomerID: 'VINET', EmployeeID: 5, OrderDate: new Date(8364186e5),
