I wish there was a good javascript library to handle table (filtering, sorting, paging, ...). The best I found so far was datatable, but it is not perfect.

https://handsontable.com/ is pretty awesome.
I am not very familiar with datatable; could you tell me more about its shortcomings?
IMHO I think Datatable doesn't have a nice and clean interface. For example, you can't just do table.AddRow({col1:'newCol1', col2 : 'newCol2'});

It is not always very clear on what plugin you should use for paging or sorting, column reordering. Then it become heavy to save a state using methods from different pluging.

So could be a lot simpler.

Still the best open source free js table on the market on my knowledge.
