Is BS Grid free to use?

Yes. BS Grid is MIT licensed. There is no license key, watermark or paid enterprise version, and you can use it in commercial projects.

Run npm i ngx-bs-grid, then import BsGridComponent in a standalone component, or BsGridModule in an NgModule app. The README on GitHub has a full quickstart.

Which Angular versions does it support?

Angular 20 and 21 are tested, including server-side rendering. Angular 22 is allowed by the peer range but has not been tested yet. It also needs RxJS 7.8.

How is it different from AG Grid?

The inputs, outputs, column definitions and GridApi use the same names as AG Grid, so moving a screen over is mostly renaming imports. BS Grid covers the client-side row model; it does not have the server-side or infinite row models, integrated charts, master-detail rows, tree data or undo and redo.

Does it work with server-side rendering?

Yes. Every browser API is guarded, so the grid renders its frame on the server and fills in the cells once the page loads in the browser.

Where do I report a bug or ask for a feature?

BS Grid: a free, open-source data grid for Angular

We built BS Grid to replace AG Grid on BlockSurvey screens that show tens of thousands of survey responses. It has no runtime dependencies, an AG Grid-style API, and an MIT license with no paid tier.

What's in the grid

Virtual scrolling
Only the visible rows and columns are in the DOM, so the grid stays responsive with 50,000 rows.
Pinned, resizable columns
Pin columns left or right, then resize, reorder, hide or auto-size them. Flex columns share the leftover width.
Sorting and filters
Number, date and value-list filters on each column, plus a quick filter that searches every column.
Row grouping
Group by any column and total it with sum, average, count, min, max or your own function.
Cell editing
Built-in text, number, date and select editors, or your own Angular component as the editor.
Range selection and clipboard
Drag across cells to see the sum and average, copy them, paste from Excel or Google Sheets, fill down or clear.
Pagination
A page-size picker and first, previous, next and last buttons, or a page size that fits the grid height.
CSV and Excel export
Export to CSV or a real .xlsx file with several sheets and frozen header rows, without an extra library.
SSR and theming
Works with Angular server-side rendering and hydration. Colours and fonts are CSS variables, with a dark theme included.
