Row Data Source
A row data source supplies LyteNyte Grid with the rows it must render. It manages both the raw data and the operations that determine how rows appear in the viewport.
A row data source handles these key tasks:
- Reporting total row counts, including pinned top and bottom rows
- Retrieving rows by index or by ID
- Running data aggregations
- Creating dynamic pivots
- Updating row data in place
- Managing in-filter items
- Handling pagination
Not all row data sources support every feature in the interface. For example, the Tree Row Data Source does not support column pivots.
Available Row Data Sources
LyteNyte Grid includes several built-in row data sources for common scenarios. You can also create your own for specialized needs.
-
Client Row Data Source: Load all data in the browser. Ideal for smaller datasets-up to tens of thousands of rows for maximum feature support.
-
Server Row Data Source (PRO only): Load data in blocks from a server. The grid fetches only what it needs to render, making this the best choice for massive datasets-from millions to billions of rows.
-
Tree Data Source (PRO only): Render hierarchical structures in a tree view. This is a client-side data source designed for tree-like datasets.
