Here's the problem:
I need a table I can quickly 'plug' into my webapp.
I have existing REST endpoints for getting the table data in JSON, either with pagination or without. Now, if I could only find a JS table component that I would configure to use my endpoints (I can modify them to meet the tables requirements).
Misc: If the table requires jQuery that's fine with me, and utilizing Twitter Bootstrap CSS is optional and much welcomed.
As Toni said in his comment, jqGrid is probably your best bet for quick results, and it has extensive styling options. Be aware though that the HTML it produces is quite verbose. If you are deploying to mobile it may make sense just to spit out your own HTML table. This is dead simple if you are using jQuery already.

I'm looking to re-create a checkbox/faceted search for a website and I was hoping to get some advice on what libraries to use.
The site is developed in .NET and sits on an Umbraco solution.
The site currently uses Knockout.js and Ajax to call the server with multiple requests, but I want to add routing (Knockout has none) so that the URL can be shared.
I plan on ripping out Knockout and starting from scratch. So does anyone know the best libraries to create a search which requires the following?
URL can be copied which contains data relevant to the selected filters
Multiple filters can be selected
Upon selecting a filter, it automatically updates the view with relevant data
Allows pagination
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to mention, I'm looking for front-end solutions as I'm currently searching with Examine on the server.
You can try different options -
1) You can go for Elastic. It calls facets "aggregates" but supports some fairly detailed logic around them. It is pretty simple to understand and the documentation is so far good. There are several c# libraries you can use with it, I've tried NEST: NEST
2) Another option would be to store content in RavenDB and uses facets on that: https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/3.5/csharp/client-api/commands/querying/how-to-work-with-facet-query
3) You can also try BOBO faceted search which is managed using Umbraco category. Faceted search with BOBO
4) Some more options for you could be -
Xuntos Faceted Search (XFS)
Solr is another option for you. Below are some links -

Just wondering if anyone had the need to edit and update data straight in a HTML table using Laravel?
I have built out all the "create" tables for various tasks, but would like the ability to alter the data straight on an "index" page.
There are various JS libraries out there, but I was wondering if anyone knows or has done this within Laravel?
any feedback would be much appreciated.
Since Laravel is a server-side technology, you would probably want some sort of javascript library to achieve that functionality--unless you're willing to use forms that look like tables or tables with form elements inside them. You might also have some luck with contenteditable attributes and events. HTML doesn't have an editable form out of the box that automatically interacts with the backend (Laravel in your case).
It depends on what you want to use the tables for; if your tables have a lot of data, you might later want sorting or pagination and that's something javascript table libraries are useful for.
If your tables are simple or exist mainly for style purposes, you might be able to get away with not using javascript much or at all. It would be fairly unusual to go this route, though, and probably take a little longer to get a working prototype.
I'm using Laravel Datatables for data display on Laravel 5.3.
And thinking of extending it with this paid version of table editor.
There's an extension for Datatables editor integration.
Seems to be the best option for my project so far.
I am working on Business intelligence based web dashboard, i have tried several Third party JavaScript grids namely JQGrid, ng-grid.
Problem is that when Grid try to Render with big data Object it stuck and crash the browser.
Now i am thinking to Write my own GRID using HTML5 web-worker,it will create html mark up in String from data object and then pass to main object and append in DOM.
Please write suggestion about this approach,
and name the Grid that use this approach if any..
Thanks
One of the most performant grids for huge amounts of data is SlickGrid.
If you are to write your own you should ensure you avoid paints, like comments mention, and use a virtual scroll if you really have a lot of rows (100k+++).
I once started writing my own grid and I can guarantee you that making it performant for lots of data while keeping it usable is not exactly an easy job :)
I'm looking for a way to do spreadsheet type actions with a table on a website that I'm creating. I looked quickly at KendoUI, but that seems to be a little too far out of my budget. Wondering if there was anything cheaper that I could use.
The main features that I'm looking for is to be able to hide columns, filter rows, and row selection via click-drag.
I have very little js experience, but don't mind looking into it to get started. Would need some direction in where to look for that.
The web application is php based, and runs off of the CodeIgniter Framework.
You need to use jQuery plugin, depending on your need, you will find greats frameworks
I've done a bit of searching and found this one:

I have seen a number of Javascript examples to throw on top of an html table to make them sortable. The issue is that everyone I have seen and tried are insanely slow.
Any suggestions or recommendation for a good performance solution.
I've found (just in casual use, not via any intensive analysis) that the jQuery TableSorter plug-in has a decent performance rate, and is quite advanced compared to any of the other solutions out there.
Of course, it relies on jQuery, but if you were picky about footprint you could analyse the method used by the plug-in and create your own lighter implementation.
Have you tried tablesorter (powered by jQuery)?
Check it out at: http://tablesorter.com/docs/
It's pretty easy to use.
If this is for a web app and you have a lot of data, it may make more sense to do the sorting server-side using SQL or whatever ORM you're using.
The fastest way to sort that I found is to actually just sort the rows in the table. If you move a cell in the DOM the entire row will move, and so be sorted.
Here is a sample of doing this, as I don't remember the article I read about doing this originally.
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/community/aspnet/3/10051794/try-this.aspx
I've spent a lot of time evaluating various advanced table libraries, including the jquery one, the dojo one, the YUI datatable, and GWT's paging scroll table. I was unsatisfied with the performance of any of them for tables with thousands of rows (and I think paging is a poor solution as well).
I concluded that flash is the way to go with this kind of scenario.
A site that gives an example of a flash table with 10000, 100000, and a million rows can be found here.
There is also this site, which allows you to compare the performance of a javascript and flash implementation of an advanced table.
Perhaps Javascript isnt the solution here then - you could do server side sorting or consider a flex/actionscript based solution.
I was using W3 School Sort plugin and it was really slow with a table of 250 rows. Unresponsive for a good 5 seconds.
Switched to tablesorter.com as mentionned in the replies. Works like a charm. Much, much faster. No wait at all now.
