Refactoring a table to a grid component

In this recipe, we’ll explore the fundamentals of developing a reusable grid component. Grids are a cornerstone in designing intuitive and organized user interfaces, enabling structured data display. Transitioning from using basic tables to implementing a reusable grid component is a strategic move toward achieving modular, maintainable, and scalable frontend architecture. Such a component can be adapted across different parts of an application, ensuring consistency and reducing redundancy in code.

Let’s start from the basics and refactor an existing, standard HTML table to a componentized grid.

Getting ready

Before we dive into exploring grid and refactoring markup, let’s get the stage ready:

• Create a Chapter04/Recipe01 directory – this will be your working directory
• Copy the Samples and HtmlGrid files from the Chapter04/Data directory of the GitHub repository
