Plain JS version (i.e. no React dependency)

[Ryan-Palmer]

Hello!

We are using AgGrid in a Sutil application, and as such we interact with the JS API rather than React.

I found I could use pretty much every part of this binding apart from

• The cell renderer bits
• The .grid<'row> function that returns a React element.

Other than deleting those functions, I just had to add

type IGridApi = interface end

[<Import ("createGrid","ag-grid-community")>]
let private createGrid (props: HTMLElement * obj) : IGridApi = jsNative

to get a ref to the JS class constructor, then change the grid function to

static member inline createGrid<'row> (container : HTMLElement) (props:IAgGridProp<'row> seq) =
    createGrid(container, createObj !!props)

It would be cool to be able to import and use this library (and contribute back to it if we add anything!). Is there any way to publish the plain JS part without the React dependency, and then release a React 'add on' package to provide the framework specific stuff?

Cheers :)

Hi @Ryan-Palmer! This seems like a really good idea, and I don't see any major drawbacks. We can probably just publish it as 2 separate Nuget packages (or perhaps 3, 1 for the shared bits, and 1 each for the JS API and React API); we can still maintain it in a single workspace in this repository. If you create a PR doing so, we'd be very happy to review and deal with the release side of things!
