hyper-xl

Excel-like grid component library for React. Inject your own cell renderers and keep the spreadsheet engine out of your application code.

Virtualized rendering with selection, editing, clipboard, fill, sort and filter, find and replace, zoom, annotations, protection, aggregation, pivot tables, conditional formatting, cell visual formatting, and Excel (xlsx) import/export.

Distribution notice. This package ships a prebuilt, minified bundle. The core engine source is not included. See License below: free for evaluation and non-commercial use, commercial use requires a separate license.

Install

npm install hyper-xl
# or
pnpm add hyper-xl
# or
yarn add hyper-xl

Peer dependencies

react and react-dom are required peers. exceljs is an optional peer, needed only if you import the Excel helpers from hyper-xl/exceljs.

npm install react react-dom
npm install exceljs # optional, only for xlsx import/export

Peer	Range	Required
react	^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0	yes
react-dom	^18.0.0 || ^19.0.0	yes
exceljs	^4.4.0	optional (only for hyper-xl/exceljs)

Usage

import{useState}from'react';import{CellFormatToolbar,XlReact,cellFormatKey,typeCellFormatsMap,typeColumn,typeRow,typeSelectionSnapshot,}from'hyper-xl';import'hyper-xl/styles.css';import'hyper-xl/themes/light.css';constcolumns: Column[]=[{id: 'name',header: 'Name',accessor: (r)=>r.data.name},{id: 'qty',header: 'Qty',accessor: (r)=>r.data.qty},];constrows: Row[]=[{id: 1,data: {name: 'Container A',qty: 12}},{id: 2,data: {name: 'Container B',qty: 8}},];constinitialCellFormats: CellFormatsMap={[cellFormatKey(0,1)]: {align: {horizontal: 'right'},font: {family: 'Consolas, monospace'},},};exportfunctionPage(){const[selection,setSelection]=useState<SelectionSnapshot|null>(null);const[cellFormats,setCellFormats]=useState<CellFormatsMap>(initialCellFormats);return(<><CellFormatToolbarselection={selection}cellFormats={cellFormats}onCellFormatsChange={setCellFormats}/><XlReactcolumns={columns}rows={rows}cellFormats={cellFormats}onSelectionChange={setSelection}/></>);}

CellFormatToolbar edits the sparse CellFormatsMap form. The resolver form of cellFormats is useful for read-only derived formatting; apps that edit formats through the built-in toolbar should keep a map-backed state.

Custom cell rendering

constcolumns: Column[]=[{id: 'qty',header: 'Qty',accessor: (r)=>r.data.qtyasnumber,cellRenderer: ({ value })=><strong>{value.toLocaleString()}</strong>,cellEditor: ({ value, onCommit, onCancel })=>(<inputdefaultValue={String(value)}onBlur={(e)=>onCommit(Number(e.target.value))}onKeyDown={(e)=>e.key==='Escape'&&onCancel()}autoFocus/>),},];

Entry points

Import path	Contents
hyper-xl	Grid component, hooks, formatting utilities, and types
hyper-xl/exceljs	Low-level ExcelJS helpers (requires the exceljs peer)
hyper-xl/pivot/presets	Pivot presets and the generic PivotPreset<Id> shape
hyper-xl/styles.css	Required base stylesheet (tokens + class rules)
hyper-xl/themes/light.css	Optional light theme token overrides

Public API (highlights)

The most common exports are listed below; the package ships full TypeScript declarations, so your editor surfaces the complete API on import.

Export	Kind	Notes
XlReact	component	Virtualized Excel-like grid component
CellFormatToolbar	component	Controlled toolbar for editing selected cell formats
FormulaBar	component	Controlled formula/value bar bound to the active selection
XlReactProps	type	Controlled grid props: rows, columns, callbacks, formats
Column<T>	type	id, header, accessor, optional cellRenderer / cellEditor
Row	type	{ id, data } where data is Record<string, unknown>
CellFormat	type	Cell-level visual formatting model (font / alignment / fill / border)
CellFormatsMap	type	Sparse ${row}:${col} map for per-cell formats
cellFormatKey	utility	Builds the ${row}:${col} key used by CellFormatsMap
applyCellFormatPatch	utility	Applies a format patch across selected ranges
applyCellBorderPatch	utility	Applies Excel-style range border commands
computeAggregates	utility	Computes aggregate values over a selection

CSS

The library ships CSS as standalone files only. The JS entry does not side-effect-import any CSS, which keeps Next.js and other "no global CSS from node_modules" bundlers happy and avoids double-loading. Import the stylesheet explicitly:

import'hyper-xl/styles.css';// requiredimport'hyper-xl/themes/light.css';// optional theme

All visible styles are driven by --xl-react-* CSS variables, so apps can override individual tokens without touching the bundle.

Requirements

• Node >=20
• React 18 or 19
