No headers. No tabs. Just cells.

Basic Setup

import Gridheim from "@/components/Gridheim";

function App() {
  return (
    <Gridheim
      workbookId="wb-123"
      sheetId="sheet-1"
      initialCells={[
        { address: "A1", value: "10" },
        { address: "B1", value: "20" },
        { address: "C1", value: "30" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

That's it.

Props Reference

interface GridheimProps {
  workbookId: string; // Required: workbook ID
  sheetId: string; // Required: sheet ID
  initialCells?: Array<{
    // Optional: initial data
    address: string; // A1, B2, etc.
    value: string; // Display value
    formula?: string; // =A1+B2
  }>;
  rows?: number; // Optional: default 100
  cols?: number; // Optional: default 26
  onCellChange?: (address: string, value: string) => void;
}

Events

onCellChange: (address: string, value: string) => void
  // Called when user edits a cell
  // Use to persist changes to API

Integration with ThorAPI

import { useGetCellsQuery, useUpdateCellMutation } from "@thorapi/redux/services";
import Gridheim from "@/components/Gridheim";

export function GridheimPage() {
  const workbookId = "wb-123";
  const sheetId = "sheet-1";

  // Load cells
  const { data: cells, isLoading } = useGetCellsQuery({ workbookId, sheetId });

  // Save cells
  const [updateCell] = useUpdateCellMutation();

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return (
    <Gridheim
      workbookId={workbookId}
      sheetId={sheetId}
      initialCells={cells || []}
      onCellChange={(address, value) => {
        updateCell({
          address,
          value,
          sheetId,
        });
      }}
    />
  );
}

}

.cell.selected {
  background-color: #e3f2fd;

}

Troubleshooting

Component not rendering?

• Check that workbookId and sheetId props are provided
• Ensure React 18+ is installed
• Verify Redux provider wraps component (if using hooks)

Cells not showing?

• Confirm initialCells prop is provided
• Verify address format is correct (A1, B2, etc.)
• Check that value field is not empty

Keyboard shortcuts not working?

• Ensure component has focus
• Check that you're not in edit mode
• Verify browser isn't capturing keys

Paste not working?

• Confirm something was copied (Ctrl+C)
• Verify target cell is selected
• Check clipboard API is enabled

Demo

function GridheimDemo() {
  const [cells, setCells] = React.useState([
    { address: "A1", value: "Item" },
    { address: "B1", value: "Quantity" },
    { address: "C1", value: "Price" },
    { address: "A2", value: "Widget" },
    { address: "B2", value: "10" },
    { address: "C2", value: "99.99" },
    { address: "A3", value: "Gadget" },
    { address: "B3", value: "5" },
    { address: "C3", value: "49.99" },
  ]);

  return (
    <Gridheim
      workbookId="demo-wb"
      sheetId="demo-sheet"
      initialCells={cells}
      onCellChange={(addr, value) => {
        const newCells = cells.map((c) =>
          c.address === addr ? { ...c, value } : c
        );
        setCells(newCells);
      }}
    />
  );
}
