Example

import React, { useRef, useState } from "react";
import Sheet, { SheetRef } from "./lib";
import packageConf from "../package.json";

//Create dummy data.
const createData = (count?: number) => {
  const val: any[][] = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < (count || 500) ; i++) {
    val.push(
      Array.from({ length: count || 30 }, () => ({
        value: "",
      }))
    );
  }
  return val;
};

function App() {
  const [state] = useState<any[][]>(createData());
  const childRef = useRef<SheetRef>(null);

  const onChange = (i: number, j: number, value: string) => {
    //Do not try to update state with this action, it will slow down your application
    console.log(`Value Updated at ${j}, ${j}`, value);
  };

  const getData = () => {
    console.log("Updated Data", childRef?.current?.getData()); 
  };

  //Generate CSV
  const exportCSV = () => {
    childRef?.current?.exportCsv("myCsvFile", false);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <div>
        <button onClick={getData}>Get Updated data</button>
