folks, are there any suggestions for what library to use to build a simple grid display? I want to show a portion of a spreadsheet? I'm playing with the cljsjs package of jqgrid but it doesn't really integrate into hoplon (esp. not hoplon ui) particularly wonderfully.

my guess it would be easiest to build it yourself

do you need any fancy layouting, interactivity?

dm3: so that's the thing; upfront, no, not particualrly. Longer term, yes, would very much like to have collapsible rows, selectable rows &c. &c. which a lot of the grid libraries give for free

I had to make a grid thing once

the problem I found was that all of the libraries had a huge number of features

but each only a subset of what I needed

+ 80% of what I didn't need

🙂 this is very true

at the end of the day I just want to show a spreadsheet damnit

and I ended up writing my own stuff in hoplon

and this seems remarkably hard to do with the grids. They all assume tabular data

as in consistent values and formatting along columns

my needs were more in line with http://dsmorse.github.io/gridster.js/

'It's so sweet we like to call it drag-and-drool.'

shame slickgrid isn't part of cljsjs

but it does seem to be in clojars

somehow

@adamw: looks like a good reason to get slick grid on cljsjs

did it with handsontable

put in a pull req to put that into cljsjs 🙂
