We melted our way through the heat of July to try and find the best of the content on the web related to AG Grid.

We also released a [new version of AG Grid](https://blog.ag-grid.com/whats-new-in-ag-grid-28/)

## Videos

We found [an interesting video from Valispace](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO-A3LY6Auc&t=2030s), I think it is one of their recruitment videos but it describes their evaluation and adoption process for AG Grid:

- How AG Grid chosen?
    - Aware of the libraries available
    - Create a proof of concept using the library quickly
    - Explore the main use-cases at a high level
    - Evaluate the results
    - Test with 100s of thousands of rows

[AdapTable Tools](https://www.adaptabletools.com/) have been creating quite a few videos recently. And this one shows a demo of their [save charts state feature](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM1MVLnefGU). Adaptable is a great example of how extensible AG Grid is in the right hands and their AG Grid extension can really add a lot of user focussed features instantly when added to your project.

[Philip Eschenbacher](https://linkedin.com/in/philip-eschenbacher-57a817b5) has created another video in his Mongo DB and AG Grid series showing how to use [enhanced Graph QL Searches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCHRW8d46m0).

## Blogs

Max Rosenberg wrote a [blog post showing how to combine React Query with AG Grid](https://www.maxrosenb.com/blog/aggrid-reactquery-tutorial). This has been on our internal todo list for quite some time so we are grateful to Max for creating such a good post we can point people towards.

[Brian Love](https://brianflove.com/) on his consultancy [Live Live App](https://liveloveapp.com/services/ag-grid) posted a [blog post about AG Grid Rendering pipeline](https://liveloveapp.com/blog/2022-07-14-ag-grid-cell-rendering-pipeline) this explains in detail the ordering and scope of rendering features in AG Grid: value getters then formatters, then renderers.

We also released a few blog posts on the AG Grid blog:

- [Using Playwright to Test AG Grid React Apps](https://blog.ag-grid.com/using-playwright-to-test-ag-grid-react-apps/)
- [Using AG Grid in Electron Applications](https://blog.ag-grid.com/using-ag-grid-in-electron-applications/)
- [Using React-Bootstrap and AG Grid](https://blog.ag-grid.com/using-react-bootstrap-and-ag-grid/)
- [How to Optimize a React Application Using Hooks and AG Grid](https://blog.ag-grid.com/how-to-optimize-a-react-application-using-hooks-and-ag-grid/)
- [Typescript Generics](https://blog.ag-grid.com/typescript-generics/)
- [Why Use a Third-Party Data Grid Component?](https://blog.ag-grid.com/why-use-a-third-party-data-grid-component/)

## Apps

We found quite a few apps using AG Grid that we were not aware of and added a [Github section on our sample apps page](https://blog.ag-grid.com/showcase/#opensourceprojectsusingaggrid) which lists interesting projects that use AG Grid and release their code on Github.

A few projects to take a look at that we became aware of recently:

- [Lowdefy](https://lowdefy.com/) is a low code tool that uses AG Grid as a block component, allowing you to create apps which render data in AG Grid without a lot of coding knowledge. There is [a Lowdefy example using AG Grid here](https://example-reporting.lowdefy.com/report).

- The [Systelab Component Library](https://github.com/systelab/systelab-components) has common components for Angular. AG Grid is used as the grid component in their ['tables' component showcase](https://systelab.github.io/components/).

- Consta Design have created a [React component that wraps AG Grid](https://github.com/consta-design-system/ag-grid-adapter) to provide some formatting and editing components. You can see it in action in their [Storybook implementation](https://ag-grid-adapter.consta.design/?path=/story/common-start--page).

There are many more on the [Sample Apps Page](https://blog.ag-grid.com/showcase/#opensourceprojectsusingaggrid)
