Hi there,
I hope it's the right place to ask the following question...
I'm new with Kibana plugin development, and I figure out most of the back-end part.
However, now comes the tricky part for me - the EUI framework.
I want to display some data I got from Elasticache inside EUI [Datagrid](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/tabular-content/data-grid).
I was able to successfully prepare my UI dev work on code sandbox [here](https://codesandbox.io/s/keen-margulis-v6snz?file=/index.js) using some dummy data.
But, when I tried to use that same code inside my plugin, I'm getting the following error:
> react-dom.development.js:55 Uncaught Invariant Violation: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.
> Check the render method of `GridViewDataTable
I was able to handle files and methods references connection, optimization runs successfully, kibana in dev mode started successfully.
Here is my plugin folder structure located inside kibana's plugins directory:
The issue is occurring inside [gridviewdata.js file](https://github.com/nikola6789/kibana_plugin/blob/main/public/components/main/gridviewdata.js#L255) where I'm trying to create a EuiDataGrid with dummy set of data.
What is strange, is if I put anything else to return here at line [255 of my gridviewdata.js file](https://github.com/nikola6789/kibana_plugin/blob/main/public/components/main/gridviewdata.js#L255) instead of EuiDataGrid, it renders perfectly, but it wont with EuiDataGrid and I cannot figure it out why. I tried various changes, none of them worked - I tried even to render that same dummy grid table directly inside [render()](https://github.com/nikola6789/kibana_plugin/blob/main/public/components/main/main.js#L87) method of my Main class, didn't work either.
You can find whole plugin structure on my [github repo](https://github.com/nikola6789/kibana_plugin).
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Nikola

Hi @zixon89
What version of Kibana are you building your plugin against?
Do other components from `Eui` work as expected? `EuiDatagrid` was released ~a year ago, so if you have an older version of Kibana, the provided Eui package might not yet have the datagrid.

Hi @corey.robertson,
I should've check the version compatibility... You are right.
I'm using Kibana [v7.4.0.](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v7.4.0) and I can see the `EuiDatagrid` was released with _elastic/ui_ version **14.8.0** from [changelog page](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/package/changelog).
The _elastic/ui_ dependency for Kibana 7.4.0. is set in [package.json file](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v7.4.0/package.json#L107) to be **13.6.1**.
So, that's was the problem here.
I apologize, my bad for rushing here with question before checking versioning capability, it was not professional at all from my side as developer. 🙃
Since I'm limited with this Kibana version, I will use pure React to develop my own data grid.
Thanks again,
Nikola

@zixon89 There is also EuiBasicTable, which was available in the prior version of EUI. It's definitely not as powerful, but for most uses it's similar.
