As all the features were being listed, I scrolled with the exact same hope :-) I have been using Sencha/ExtJS' grid for that purpose, which is very powerful and versatile, and recently I've been contemplating ag-grid, which seems very nice also.

We use Ag-grid at my company. It's probably the most fully-featured data grid I've ever worked with on the Web, but it definitely has some pain points. I think it basically supports almost everything mentioned in this article out of the box (except for modals etc., which shouldn't be part of the grid itself anyway...). They even recently added support for charting selected ranges of data from the table. Be forewarned though: if you're trying to use this from React with dynamic data that can be modified on the client, you're probably not going to have fun. Ag-grid is a vanilla JS library with a very thin React wrapper written around it, so even though on the surface it looks like it fits into the React model, most complex things you'll want to do end up meaning you have to use the imperative table API. I can't speak to how it fits in with other frameworks out there, but I would imagine it's going to be a similar situation. That being said, if you're just going to drop some data into the table that's read-only, i.e. just for analysis etc., I think it's pretty solid and hard to find something with anywhere near a comparable level of features.

  Ag-grid looks very cool but it's almost a megabyte of minified javascript. Is there a way to cut out unneeded features?

  Oh thank you for this explanation and warning, I am indeed contemplating using the React version of Ag-Grid (for the experimental rewrite of a relatively complex internal management app, written entirely in ExtJS 4, and I was wondering how well it would integrate into it (especially given that it has flavours for all the major frameworks, React being only one of them).
