Creating a sortable table (with React.js) that was produced using Flask and Bootstrap

I've got a table that I've created using Flask by getting data from an API and later compiling it into a table with bootstrap as a front end. I want to make the headers clickable in order to sort them, I've heard that React.js might be a good option for this, is there anyway for me to use React directly with my table without rewriting the entire app in javascript?

          Possibly! If you can install react then you should be able to use a library such as the react-collapsing-table. You would need to install it with npm then you should be able to import/require it on your page and just do



          <ReactCollapsingTable rows={data} columns={columns} />


          Hope that helps :)

            I implemented a react-bootstrap-table2 frontend with a flask backend here: http://thomaxxl.pythonanywhere.com/ja/index.html#/books (no sorting implemented there but it is possible by using the appropriate react-bootstrap-table syntax: https://react-bootstrap-table.github.io/react-bootstrap-table2/docs/basic-sort.html )



            You can implement sorting in the backend or the frontend.




            • To implement it in the backend, your api must support sorting parameters (eg. in the query string: ?sort=title,id )

            • To implement sorting in the frontend you must fetch all your data which is not feasible for large tables


            Other things you may want to consider are pagination, filtering and search.
