The problem Every time I started a new internal tool, I'd reach for AG Grid. It's the go-to React data grid and for good reason — it's powerful and well-documented. Then I'd hit the wall. Audit trail? Enterprise. Workflow states? Enterprise. A proper rules engine for validation? Enterprise. AG Grid Enterprise costs $1,500+ per developer per year. For a small team building internal tooling, that's a hard sell. So I built RGGrid. What RGGrid is RGGrid is a production-grade React + TypeScript data grid built for internal tools and business applications. It's open source, free, and ships everything I kept bumping into on AG Grid's paywall. Install: npm install @rg-grid/rg-grid Basic usage: import "@rg-grid/rg-grid/styles.css"; import { RGGrid } from "@rg-grid/rg-grid"; What's free that AG Grid charges for Audit trail Every cell edit is logged with the user and timestamp. Access it imperatively: const logs = gridRef.current?.getAuditLogs?.() ?? []; Workflow states Model real business proces
