Getting started with React Spreadsheet component
27 Jun 20253 minutes to read
This section explains the steps to create a simple Spreadsheet component in a React application.
To get start quickly with React Spreadsheet, you can check on this video:
Dependencies
The following list of dependencies are required to use the Spreadsheet component in your application:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-grids
Setup for Local Development
To easily set up a React application, use create-vite-app
, which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools like create-react-app
. For detailed steps, refer to the Vite installation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.
Note: To create a React application using
create-react-app
, refer to this documentation for more details.
To create a new React application, run the following command.
npm create vite@latest my-app
To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev
To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
cd my-app
npm run dev
Adding Syncfusion® packages
All the available Essential® JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
public registry. To install Spreadsheet component use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet --save
Adding CSS reference
Add components style as given below in src/App.css
.
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-grids/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet/styles/material.css';
To refer
App.css
in the application then import it in thesrc/App.tsx
file.
Adding Spreadsheet component
Now, you can import the spreadsheet component into your src/App.tsx
file.
import * as React from 'react';
import { SpreadsheetComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet';
import './App.css';
export default function App() {
return (<SpreadsheetComponent/>);
}
Run the application
Now run the npm run dev
command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.
npm run dev
The following example shows a basic spreadsheet component.
import * as React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { SpreadsheetComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet';
export default function App() {
return (<SpreadsheetComponent />);
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);
import * as React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
import { SpreadsheetComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-spreadsheet';
export default function App() {
return (<SpreadsheetComponent />);
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!);
root.render(<App />);
