The implementation of robust solutions for handling large quantities of data has become a new norm for web application development. The exponential growth of data can be quite a challenge as the tools we utilize should ensure data availability, high processing speed and provide against delays or inconsistencies. As large datasets are often used in advanced analytics, business intelligence and statistics – minor downtime can cause major issues. Today we are going to carry out an in-depth analysis of Webix JS DataTable – a cutting-edge solution for managing extensive data efficiently.

Rockers from the “30 Seconds to Mars” band dreamed of reaching the “red planet” in 30 seconds. But, unfortunately, modern science has not yet achieved such heights. According to the famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, we need about 26 million seconds for this journey.

Do you know what we can do in 30 seconds right now? Let’s try to create a small app using the Webix UI library and check if it is possible. The main idea and information for this article were provided by our client, an interview with whom you can read in our blog.

Time is one of the most precious resources. If you know how to properly manage this resource you will be able to organize your team work more efficiently. And as a result, it will affect your company’s success.

In this article, we will create a small Time Tracker app based on Webix UI components. I hope it will help you to manage the time of your employees in a more effective way.

In the world of innovative technologies, it is hard to imagine a person who has never listened to music online. I suppose that most of the developers have tried to write their own playlist at least once. And I am no exception 🙂 In this article, I want to show you how to create a small Playlist app using the capabilities of the Webix UI library.

Webix offers several ways for editing tabular data of various types. Most common practices to do it is via built-in Datatable editors or with the help of a standalone Webix Form. But the question remains – how to put it all together to deliver good UI and UX to users?

As you may know from the previous article JS Grid with 1 000 000 rows, DataTable is not limited by the number of rows. What about columns?

The above example shows a grid with 1 000 columns. Yep, it is not a million, but still quite impressive, isn’t it?

It would be nice to have a UI that could support any amount of data. Even if today you have only a hundred of records to load into a grid, it wouldn’t guarantee that this hundred won’t turn into 10 000 in a month or into 100 000 in a year. The more successful your application is, the greater the chance that the amount of data will increase. It means that you will have to adjust your app to support a large data set.
