Data Grid - Getting started

Get started with the last React data grid you will need. Install the package, configure the columns, provide rows and you are set.

Installation

Using your favorite package manager, install @mui/x-data-grid-pro for the full-featured enterprise grid, or @mui/x-data-grid for the free community version.

// with npm
npm install @mui/x-data-grid

// with yarn
yarn add @mui/x-data-grid

The grid has a peer dependency on one MUI component. If you are not already using MUI in your project, you can install it with:

// with npm
npm install @mui/material

// with yarn
yarn add @mui/material

Quick start

First, you have to import the component as below. To avoid name conflicts the component is named DataGridPro for the full-featured enterprise grid, and DataGrid for the free community version.

import { DataGrid } from '@mui/x-data-grid';

Define rows

Rows are key-value pair objects, mapping column names as keys with their values. You should also provide an id property on each row to allow delta updates and better performance.

Here is an example

const rows: GridRowsProp = [
  { id: 1, col1: 'Hello', col2: 'World' },
  { id: 2, col1: 'DataGridPro', col2: 'is Awesome' },
  { id: 3, col1: 'MUI', col2: 'is Amazing' },
];

Define columns

Comparable to rows, columns are objects defined with a set of attributes of the GridColDef interface. They are mapped to rows through their field property.

const columns: GridColDef[] = [
  { field: 'col1', headerName: 'Column 1', width: 150 },
  { field: 'col2', headerName: 'Column 2', width: 150 },
];

You can import GridColDef to see all column properties.

Demo

Putting it together, this all you need to get started, as you can see in this live and interactive demo:

import React from 'react';
import { DataGrid, GridRowsProp, GridColDef } from '@mui/x-data-grid';

const rows: GridRowsProp = [
  { id: 1, col1: 'Hello', col2: 'World' },
  { id: 2, col1: 'DataGridPro', col2: 'is Awesome' },
  { id: 3, col1: 'MUI', col2: 'is Amazing' },
];

const columns: GridColDef[] = [
  { field: 'col1', headerName: 'Column 1', width: 150 },
  { field: 'col2', headerName: 'Column 2', width: 150 },
];

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div style={{ height: 300, width: '100%' }}>
      <DataGrid rows={rows} columns={columns} />
    </div>
  );
}

TypeScript

In order to benefit from the CSS overrides and default prop customization with the theme, TypeScript users need to import the following types. Internally, it uses module augmentation to extend the default theme structure.

// When using TypeScript 4.x and above
import type {} from '@mui/x-data-grid/themeAugmentation';
import type {} from '@mui/x-data-grid-pro/themeAugmentation';

const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    // Use `MuiDataGrid` on both DataGrid and DataGridPro
    MuiDataGrid: {
      styleOverrides: {
        root: {
          backgroundColor: 'red',
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

Licenses

The data grid comes with two different licenses:

DataGrid, it's MIT licensed and available on npm as @mui/x-data-grid.
DataGridPro, it's Commercially licensed and available on npm as @mui/x-data-grid-pro. The features only available in the commercial version are suffixed with a icon for the Pro plan or a icon for the Premium plan.

You can check the feature comparison for more details. See Pricing for details on purchasing licenses.

Try DataGridPro for free

You are free to install and try DataGridPro as long as it is not used for development of a feature intended for production. Please take the component for a test run, no need to contact us.

Invalid license

If you have an enterprise grid running with an expired or missing license key, the grid displays a watermark, and a warning is shown in the console (MUI Unlicensed product).

Feature comparison

The following table summarizes the features available in the community DataGrid and enterprise DataGridPro components. All the features of the community version are available in the enterprise one. The enterprise components come in two plans: Pro and Premium.

License key installation

Once you purchase a license, you'll receive a license key. This key should be provided to the enterprise package to remove the watermark and the warnings in the console.

import { LicenseInfo } from '@mui/x-data-grid-pro';

LicenseInfo.setLicenseKey(
  'x0jTPl0USVkVZV0SsMjM1kDNyADM5cjM2ETPZJVSQhVRsIDN0YTM6IVREJ1T0b9586ef25c9853decfa7709eee27a1e',
);

The grid checks the key without making any network requests.

What's the expiration policy?

The licenses are perpetual, the license key will work forever. However, access to updates is not. If you install a new version of the component for which the license key has expired, you will trigger a watermark and console message. For instance, if you have a one-year license (default), you are not licensed to install a version that is two years in the future.
