Introducing Lightning DataTable Dev for Salesforce Lightning Developers

Salesforce Lightning  has emerged as one of the phenomenal colors of the Salesforce platform. Salesforce Lightning is designed to build a modern productivity-boosting user experience across multiple devices. Lightning facilitates quickly customizable and engaging interfaces.

How fast this lightning strikes ?

Lightning components are the easy, personalized and fastest way to create your apps with lesser code. Developers can build applications by assembling components that can contain other components like HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. This is built on top of Aura framework. The server is called only upon client requests to maximize efficiency. The framework uses JSON to exchange data between the server and the client. The components in Lightning act as 'peers' of each other making the integration easy for a fast flash performance.

jQuery Datatable vs Lightning Datatable Dev - What's the difference?

jQuery Datatable is a popular third party Javascript library used by developers to quickly setup a table UI. However, because of the introduction of LockerService in Lightning Experience, most of the third party JS libraries can’t be leveraged there at the moment. Lightning Datatable Dev overcomes the complications in building a table component within Lightning Experience.

Lightning DataTable Dev

Softsquare proudly presents Lightning DataTable Dev, an easy-to-use datatable (grid) pattern for Lightning developers to build and organize data in Lightning Experience. The product team at Softsquare built this Lightning Component so that developers can leverage the SLDS styled datatable in their org by simply providing the data as a JSON structure. Salesforce developers habitually use Javascript-based UI frameworks/libraries such as jQuery, AngularJS etc., to build rich UI elements. Lightning Datatable Dev is one such UI component that can be leveraged by developers in Salesforce’s Lightning environment.
