React Table Libraries: MUI Data Grid, Material-Table and React-Table
I use MUI as React UI library. Recently I need to create a table on a webpage, if the table is very simple I can use the table component in MUI directly. However, I need a table with collapse/grouping, filtering and also search functions. So I searched the table libraries, and I found their names quite confusing. I ended up using React-Table for its popularity and ultra-extensibility.
If you google React Table Libraries, below four libraries might be the top choices.
(1) MUI Data Grid (Mui-x)
(2) Mui-datatables (Material-UI-Datatables)
(3) Material-Table
(4) React-Table
I first checked the popularity through GitHub and NPM trends.
1. Popularity
From the number of stars in Github, it seems React-Table is the most popular one with 17.7k stars, while Mui data grid is the least popular one.
