React
React is one of the most commonly used libraries on the web. It is used to create UIs with components allowing very complex applications and sites to be constructed. We provide a <DataTable> component for full integration of DataTables in React based apps.
The documentation here details how to use this component, and how to make use of the DataTables concepts introduced in the other sections of this manual. They still apply and can be used to get the most out of DataTables.
If you are just starting out with DataTables in a React app, follow along with the quick-start guide to get you up and running in the minimum time possible. The other sections of the manual will delve into more detail about each area of the component.
