React Data GridOverlay Component

Overlay components allow you to add your own overlays to AG Grid. Use these when the provided overlays do not meet your requirements.

There are two types of overlay components:

  • Loading Overlay: Overlay for when the grid is loading data.
  • No Rows: Overlay for when the grid has loaded an empty array of rows.

Example: Custom Overlay Components

The example below demonstrates how to provide custom overlay components to the grid. Notice the following:

  • Custom Loading Overlay Renderer is supplied by name via gridOptions.loadingOverlayComponent.
  • Custom Loading Overlay Renderer Parameters are supplied using gridOptions loadingOverlayComponentParams.
  • Custom No Rows Overlay Renderer is supplied by name via gridOptions.noRowsOverlayComponent.
  • Custom No Rows Overlay Renderer Parameters are supplied using gridOptions.noRowsOverlayComponentParams.

Overlay Component Interface

Any valid React component can be an Overlay. When a custom Overlay Component is instantiated within both a template and the Grid API will be made available on props:

ILoadingOverlayParams

Properties available on the ILoadingOverlayParams<TData = any, TContext = any> interface.

INoRowsOverlayParams

Properties available on the INoRowsOverlayParams<TData = any, TContext = any> interface.

Registering Overlay Components

See the section registering custom components for details on registering and using custom overlays.
