Implementation Notes

  • Current Gap: ~80% of features are undocumented
  • Demo Coverage: Many features have demo implementations but lack documentation
  • Enterprise Focus: Most undocumented features are enterprise-grade capabilities
  • Integration Complexity: Features often work together and need cross-references
  • Backend Requirements: Many features require server-side implementation examples

Next Steps

  1. Prioritize documentation based on user needs and feature complexity
  2. Create comprehensive guides for HIGH priority features first
  3. Enhance existing documentation with missing configuration options
  4. Add cross-references between related features
  5. Validate all examples with working demo implementations
  6. Review with users to ensure documentation meets real-world needs

This guideline provides a roadmap for creating comprehensive AGGrid documentation that matches the full scope of implementation in reflex-enterprise.
