react-table VS headlessui

Tanstack - Tanstack has evolved to an entire ecosystem consisting of the famous Tanstack (or React) Query, Tanstack Table, now also Tanstack Router and Tanstack Form. It started with Tanstack Query, which adopted Nx and Nx Cloud. Zack talked about this collab with Dominik, and we also had Dominik on our Nx live stream. Now, all the above-mentioned Tanstack libs have adopted Nx, and there's more coming.

If you want to bring your own UI, TanStack Table (formerly React Table) [0], if you want something that's batteries included, MUI [1]. There are of course other options with either close or full feature parity, but these are the two I see most often with least pain across different companies. While we're on the topic of recommendations, avoid any- and everything by Telerik.

Or for the table react-table can be a powerful option to consider.

For this week's pick, I chose TanStack Table, a table-building solution that offers power and flexibility. This headless UI solution provides a lightweight and agnostic core, making it easy to integrate into any React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, or TS/JS project.

Catalyst is a comprehensive, fully componentized UI kit for modern React projects, built on the next generation of Headless UI. With Catalyst, you can create a custom set of components to use and reuse in your projects.

And that is why I was looking for a UI library that would deliver these things for a long time and today I am happy to announce that I have found it! It is Headless UI by the Tailwind Team.

Website: Headless UI

Few months ago, I discovered project called Headless UI and I instantly liked the idea.

In addition to Tailwind CSS, Tailwind Labs also created Headless UI, a collection of components that work well with Tailwind CSS.
