Dynamic Column Management in React Data Grid Using React State

The Syncfusion® React Data Grid component enables dynamic column updates through React state. Major changes, such as adding or removing columns, trigger a full refresh to reinitialize the layout and configuration. Minor updates, like toggling visibility or modifying column properties, result in a lightweight UI update without resetting the internal state.

Defining columns in React state

The Data Grid component columns can be defined using a React useState variable, enabling runtime updates like adding or removing columns.

For example, toggling a "Salary" column updates the state. When the column structure changes, the grid triggers a full refresh to reinitialize layout and configuration.

Show or hide columns using React state

Column visibility can be controlled through a React useState variable. For example, a checkbox can toggles a column's visibility by updating its visible property in the state. This action triggers a lightweight UI refresh without reinitializing the grid's internal state.
