The bottom line

A styled table from Flowbite, Skeleton, or shadcn-svelte is perfect until the behaviour becomes the work. Once you are hand-writing sort, filter, or virtualization, SvGrid replaces that code and still themes to match your design system.

Frequently asked questions

When should I replace a UI-kit table with SvGrid?

When the table needs sorting, filtering, virtualization, editing, or large datasets. UI-kit tables are presentation components; SvGrid is a data grid.

Can SvGrid match my Flowbite or shadcn styling?

Yes - it themes through --sg-* CSS variables you can wire to your Tailwind or design-system tokens.

Is SvGrid overkill for a static table?

For a small static table, a styled table element is lighter and fine. Switch when behaviour, not just styling, becomes the work.
