Handsontable is a JavaScript/HTML5 data grid component with spreadsheet look & feel.
It provides easy data binding, data validation, filtering, sorting and CRUD operations.
Use npm to install the latest version.
npm install handsontable
You can use Yarn, NuGet or other methods as well. You can load it directly from jsDelivr.
Create a placeholder - an HTML element holding a place for a data grid.
<div id="example"></div>Import Handsontable and its stylesheet.
import Handsontable from "handsontable";
import 'handsontable/dist/handsontable.full.css';Alternatively, you can simply embed it in your HTML file.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable/dist/handsontable.full.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable/dist/handsontable.full.min.css" rel="stylesheet">Now turn your placeholder into a data grid with sample data.
const data = [
['', 'Tesla', 'Volvo', 'Toyota', 'Ford'],
['2019', 10, 11, 12, 13],
['2020', 20, 11, 14, 13],
['2021', 30, 15, 12, 13]

Handsontable is dual-licensed. You can either use a free license for all your non-commercial projects or purchase a commercial license. See the table below for a comparison of these two.
| Free license | Paid license |
|---|---|
| For non-commercial purposes such as teaching, academic research, personal experimentation, and evaluating on development and testing servers. | For all commercial purposes |
| All features are available | All features are available |
| Community support | Dedicated support |
| Read the license | See plans |
The license key is obligatory since Handsontable 7.0.0 (released in March 2019).
If you use Handsontable for purposes not intended toward monetary compensation such as, but not limited to, teaching, academic research, evaluation, testing and experimentation, pass the phrase 'non-commercial-and-evaluation', as presented below:
const hot = new Handsontable(container, {
data: data,
rowHeaders: true,
colHeaders: true,
licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation'
});If, on the other hand, you use Handsontable in a project that supports your commercial activity, then you must purchase the license key at handsontable.com.
The license key is validated in an offline mode. No connection is made to any server. Learn more about how it works.
