Updating Table Data Dynamically

When you want your Grid.js table to always display up-to-date information, you need a way to update its data dynamically. One of the most effective methods is to fetch new data from an external source, such as a web API, and then re-render the table with this updated data. This approach is essential for applications where the underlying data changes frequently, like dashboards, live status boards, or any interface that reflects real-time updates.

To update a Grid.js table dynamically, you typically use JavaScript to fetch new data—often in JSON format—from a remote server. Once the data is received, you can either create a new Grid.js instance or use Grid.js's built-in methods to update the table's rows. This process ensures that users see the most recent information without needing to reload the entire page.

A common pattern involves using the fetch API to request new data and then passing that data to Grid.js. You might trigger this update on a timer, in response to a user action, or after receiving a notification that the data has changed. The key is that the table's content is refreshed seamlessly, providing a smooth and interactive experience.
