Alternative installation

Step 1: Install

There are many ways to install Handsontable, but we suggest using npm. Just type in the following command:

npm install handsontable

After the installation process is finished, embed this code inside your HTML file:

<script src="node_modules/handsontable/dist/handsontable.full.min.js"></script>
<link href="node_modules/handsontable/dist/handsontable.full.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

Alternatively, use a CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable@8.0.0/dist/handsontable.full.min.js"></script&gt
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable@8.0.0/dist/handsontable.full.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

Step 2: Create

Add an empty <div> element that will be turned into a spreadsheet. Let's give this element an "example" ID.

<div id="example"></div>

Step 3: Initialize

In the next step, pass a reference to that <div id="example"> element and fill it with sample data:

var data = [
  ['', 'Ford', 'Tesla', 'Toyota', 'Honda'],
  ['2017', 10, 11, 12, 13],
  ['2018', 20, 11, 14, 13],
  ['2019', 30, 15, 12, 13]
];

var container = document.getElementById('example');
var hot = new Handsontable(container, {
  data: data,
  rowHeaders: true,
  colHeaders: true,
  filters: true,
  dropdownMenu: true
});

Step 4: The result

That's it, now your Handsontable is up and ready to use:

      var data = [
['', 'Ford', 'Tesla', 'Toyota', 'Honda'],
['2017', 10, 11, 12, 13],
['2018', 20, 11, 14, 13],
['2019', 30, 15, 12, 13]
      ];

      var container = document.getElementById('example');
      var hot = new Handsontable(container, {
data: data,
rowHeaders: true,
colHeaders: true,
filters: true,
dropdownMenu: true
      });

You are probably wondering how to not only bind the data source but also save the changes made in Handsontable? Head to Binding data page to learn more about it.
