Grid

Grid Annotations

Mark and highlight specific areas of the grid to attract the user's attention using grid annotations.

Annotations overlay custom React content on top of the grid. Each annotation requires two properties:

anchor: Defines where to position the annotation.
renderer: function that returns the content to display at the anchor position.

LyteNyte Grid accepts an array of annotations via the annotations property.

The demo below shows a basic annotation that appears when the user hovers over a cell in the Price, Quantity, Revenue, Cost, or Profit columns. The annotation highlights how these columns are related.

The content rendered by an annotation can be anything your application requires. LyteNyte Grid provides the positioning system, your application provides the content to render.

Annotation Anchor Types

LyteNyte Grid supports three anchor types: range, header, and point. Use the kind field to select how the annotation is positioned.

Range Anchor

A range annotation covers a cell range. rowStart, rowEnd, colStart, and colEnd accept either a numeric index or a row or column ID.

1
anchor: {
2
  kind: "range",
3
  rowStart: 0,        // row index or row ID
4
  rowEnd: 5,          // row index or row ID
5
  colStart: "revenue", // column index or column ID
6
  colEnd: "profit",    // column index or column ID
7
}

LyteNyte Grid automatically splits a range annotation across pinned and unpinned grid sections, including:

Start-pinned, center, and end-pinned columns.
Top-pinned, center, and bottom-pinned rows.

A single range annotation renders correctly even when it spans multiple pinned sections.

Header Anchor

A header annotation spans one or more columns in the column header area.

1
anchor: {
2
  kind: "header",
3
  colStart: "revenue", // column index or column ID
4
  colEnd: "profit",    // column index or column ID
5
}

Header annotations are split across the start-pinned, center, and end-pinned header sections, just like range annotations.

Point Anchor

A point annotation places content at an absolute x and y coordinate in the scrollable data area. The x and y values are pixel offsets from the top-left corner of the first non-pinned row in the center scroll area.

This uses the same coordinate space as the virtual row layout.

1
anchor: {
2
  kind: "point",
3
  x: 400,
4
  y: 300,
5
}

By default, the annotation container applies pointer-events: none. If the annotation content needs to respond to pointer events, such as a clickable badge or tooltip trigger, set pointerEvents: "auto" on the element that should receive events.

Annotations Render Function

The render function receives { api } and returns a React node. The annotation container is already positioned and sized to match the anchor. Use position: "absolute" with inset: 0 to fill the container, or use any CSS positioning approach to place content within it.

1
render: ({ api }) => {
2
  // api gives you access to the full grid API
3
  return (
4
    <div
5
      style={{
6
        position: "absolute",
7
        inset: 0,
8
        border: "2px solid #ef4444",
9
        background: "rgba(239, 68, 68, 0.08)",
10
        boxSizing: "border-box",
11
        pointerEvents: "none",
12
      }}
13
    />
14
  );
15
},

By default, the annotation container has pointer-events: none applied. If your rendered content needs to respond to mouse events, such as a clickable badge or a tooltip trigger, set pointerEvents: "auto" on the element that should receive events.

Cell Notes

Cell notes are another common use case for annotations, allowing users to add context to a specific cell.

When a user hovers over a cell with a note, the grid displays the note content. Cells with notes show a small red triangle in the top-right corner.

Right-click any cell in the demo below to add or edit a note. Alternatively, select a cell and press Shift + F2 to open the note box.

Note

Cell notes use positioned popovers. You can customize every aspect of the note, including theming, timing, and visibility. To show notes only when opened, rather than on hover, or to adjust note timing, see the Popover guide.

Marching Ants

The marching ants effect is an animated dashed border indicating an active copied or cut selection, a familiar pattern from spreadsheet applications like Excel and Google Sheets. Annotations make this straightforward to implement in LyteNyte Grid.

The demo below supports standard clipboard shortcuts. Select a range of cells, then press:

Ctrl/Cmd + C: Copy the selection to the clipboard and show the marching ants border.
Ctrl/Cmd + X: Cut the selection to the clipboard and show the marching ants border.
Ctrl/Cmd + V: Pastes the clipboard content. If the original cut selection is pasted, the source cells are cleared.
Esc: Dismiss the marching ants border without pasting.

The marching ants border remains visible as long as focus stays within the grid, including when the user clicks another cell. Moving focus outside the grid to another part of the page clears the border. However, switching applications preserves the border, allowing users to navigate away and return to paste.

The animation itself is an SVG <rect> with stroke-dasharray driven by a CSS @keyframes rule that increments stroke-dashoffset, creating the illusion of movement along the border.
