Every team embedding a grid in a web component writes the same ~80 lines: keep the editor open on click, hand-roll the clipboard, pin the z-index.

As of 18.1.1, that's the library's job: Lit, Stencil, even Salesforce LWS. Delete your wrapper:

Every live example in the Handsontable docs ran on a third-party sandbox. The bill scaled with traffic, and nothing pinned an example to the version the page documents.
So we built our own runner: majors 15–19, PR builds, all 1,452 docs examples.

Try it: demos.handsontable.com — every guide example in the docs opens here now, editable, on whichever version you pick.

Handsontable 18.1.0: a 100,000-row grid now uses ~90% less memory, runs natively inside Shadow DOM and Salesforce, and turns every docs example into a live demo. Read the blog: eu1.hubs.ly/H0x-dp00
