DataTable

Description

Shows tabular data, defined by a list of items: the rows, and another list with their corresponding definitions: the columns. Both these lists are arrays of objects.

• The rows list defines the items you want to render, where each item only requires a unique id which is used for mapping, and the remaining properties to be shown under each column.
• On the columns list, each object requires a unique key which should correspond to property key of the items of rows that you want to render under this column, and a label which defines the name shown on the header of the column.

These are the only requirements for rendering the most simple table which should suffice for most use cases and is scaled automatically for the available space.

For more advanced configuration and layout customization, a plethora of other options are available, including per-column specific options.

For adding a Row Selection behavior, check the useRowSelection hook which you can use to prepare your rows and columns before passing them to the DataTable component.

Installation

Usage

import DataTable from '@commercetools-uikit/data-table';

const rows = [
  { id: 'parasite', title: 'Parasite', country: 'South Korea' },
  { id: 'portrait', title: 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire', country: 'France' },
  { id: 'wat', title: 'Woman at War', country: 'Iceland' },
];

const columns = [
  { key: 'title', label: 'Title' },
  { key: 'country', label: 'Country' },
];

const Example = () => <DataTable rows={rows} columns={columns} />;

export default Example;

Properties

Props	Type	Required	Default	Description
rows	Array: Row[]	✅		The list of data that needs to be rendered in the table. Each object in the list can have any shape as long as it has a unique identifier. The data is rendered by using the callback render function itemRenderer.
columns	Array: TColumn<Row>[] See signature.		[]	Each object requires a unique key which should correspond to property key of the items of rows that you want to render under this column, and a label which defines the name shown on the header. The list of columns to be rendered. Each column can be customized (see properties below).
footer	ReactNode			Element to render within the tfoot (footer) element of the table.
maxWidth	union Possible values: number , string			The max width (a number of pixels or a css value string with units) for which the table is allowed to grow. If unset, the table will grow horizontally to fill its parent.
maxHeight	union Possible values: number , string			The max height (a number of pixels or a css value string with units) for which the table is allowed to grow. If unset, the table will grow vertically to fill its parent and we are able to have a sticky header.
onRowClick	Function See signature.			A callback function, called when a user clicks on a row.
isCondensed	boolean		true	Set this to true to reduce the paddings of all cells, allowing the table to display more data in less space.
onColumnResized	Function See signature.			A callback function, called when a column has been resized. Use this callback to get the resized column widths and save them, to be able to restore the value once the user comes back to the page.
disableSelfContainment	boolean		false	Set this to true to take control of the containment of the table and doing it on a parent element. This means that the table will grow in size without adding scrollbars on itself, both vertically and horizontally and, as a consequence, the maxHeight and maxWidth props are ignored. If you need to enforce these constraints, you must also apply them on the parent element. Additionally, the sticky behaviour of the header will get fixed relatively to the closest parent element with position: relative.
disableHeaderStickiness	boolean			Set this to true to prevent the header from being sticky. The header can be sticky only if the table does not have a maxHeight set.
itemRenderer	Function See signature.		(row, column) => row[column.key]	The default function used to render the content of each item in a cell. In case a column has its own renderItem render function, it will take precedence over this function.
wrapHeaderLabels	boolean		true	Set this to false to ensure that every column can render their label in one line. By default the header cell grows in height in case the label does not fit in one line.
verticalCellAlignment	union Possible values: 'top' , 'center' , 'bottom'		'top'	The default cell vertical alignment of each row (not the table header).
horizontalCellAlignment	union Possible values: 'left' , 'center' , 'right'		'left'	The default cell horizontal alignment. In case a column has its own align property, it will take precedence over this value.
sortedBy	string			The key of the column for which the data is currently sorted by.
onSortChange	Function See signature.			A callback function, called when a sortable column's header is clicked. It's required when the isSortable flag is set on at least one column.
sortDirection	union Possible values: 'desc' , 'asc'			The sorting direction.
