Question

Hi everyone,
How can I use AG Grid Enterprise?.
How Can I use/setup key for ag-grid enterprise

Currently NiceGUI only supports AG Grid Community and I'm not sure how AG Grid Enterprise could be integrated.
Let's convert this discussion into a feature request. Maybe someone from the community has an idea how to add this feature. 🙂

I am a user of NiceGUI and have been enjoying its capabilities with AG Grid Community. However, I believe that integrating AG Grid Enterprise would bring additional value to the tool.

AG Grid Enterprise offers advanced features that could greatly enhance the functionality of NiceGUI. Some specific features I am interested in include [mention features], and I believe many other users share this interest.

Considering the growing popularity of AG Grid Enterprise, it would be fantastic if NiceGUI could provide support for it

Here is a pull request that adds the ability to use aggrid in enterprise mode: #3757

Would it be helpful to additionally create a feature request issue for this?

[rodja]

The PR is sufficient. No need for another feature request. Thanks for looking into this. We will review it as soon as poosible.

Here is my initial aggrid enterprise component:

https://github.com/xaptronic/nicegui-aggrid-enterprise

Likely will make some additional updates, but if anything obvious appears missing feel free to mention.

Nice!

I've found this useful so thank you! Wondering if there's any chance of including Ag-Charts being imported too to get Sparklines in aggrid https://www.ag-grid.com/javascript-data-grid/sparklines-installation/

Hey @falkoschindler would you have any insight on whether the JS loaded by a component could be dynamically loaded based on a parameter?

Right now it uses "dependencies" array, but perhaps it could use loadResource instead to optionally load the charts version instead?

Alternatively, there could be a subclass of the enterprise aggrid that overrides the js that's loaded..

Curious if you have any opinion about which might be a better approach?

[falkoschindler]

Hi @xaptronic,

Adding a subclassing parameter to switch between different dependencies seems like a viable solution:

class MyElement(ui.element):

    def __init_subclass__(cls, param: str) -> None:
        super().__init_subclass__(dependencies=['lib/a.js'] if param == 'A' else ['lib/b.js'])

class A(MyElement, param='A'):
    pass

class B(MyElement, param='B'):
    pass

But registering resources during instantiation using add_resource is also a good option, I guess. See https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/nicegui/elements/leaflet.py#L44 and https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/blob/main/nicegui/elements/codemirror.py#L284 for example.

Which one to choose depends on whether a subclass should always have certain dependencies, or if individual instances should be able to have different dependencies.
