react-taco-table

A React component for creating tables configured by a set of columns.

Examples with live demos are available here: http://pbeshai.github.io/react-taco-table/examples.html

Installation

Install via NPM by running

npm install react-taco-table --save

Then including in your application as:

import { TacoTable } from 'react-taco-table';
 
// Include CSS with webpack or equivalent -- or use your own
import 'react-taco-table/dist/react-taco-table.css';

Usage

An almost minimal example is as follows:

import React from 'react';
import { TacoTable, DataType, Formatters } from 'react-taco-table';
 
const data = [
  { label: 'The first item', value: 12, rating: 5.3216 },
  { label: 'Another item', value: 8, rating: 4.9173 },
  { label: 'The end of the road', value: 94, rating: 2.6139 },
];
 
const columns = [
  {
    id: 'label',
    type: DataType.String,
    header: 'Label',
  },
  {
    id: 'value',
    type: DataType.Number,
    header: 'Value',
  },
  {
    id: 'rating',
    type: DataType.Number,
    header: 'Rating',
    renderer: Formatters.decFormat(2),
  },
];
 
class ExampleAlmostMinimal extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <TacoTable columns={columns} data={data} />;
  }
}
 
export default ExampleAlmostMinimal;

Outputs a table equivalent to:

Label	Value	Rating
The first item	12	5.32
Another item	8	4.92
The end of the road	94	2.61

For full configuration options for columns, see Column Definition below or the docs.

Column Definition

Columns are defined by objects with the following format:

Name	Type	Description
id	String	The id of the column. Typically corresponds to a key in the rowData object.
[bottomDataRender]	Function or Function[] or String or String[]	function(columnSummary, { column, rowData, tableData, columns, bottomData }) A function that specifies how to render the bottom data (if enabled on the table). Use an array for multiple rows. The rowData is only populated if bottomData of the TacoTable is an array. If a string is provided, it is rendered directly.
[className]	String	The class name to be applied to both <td> and <th>
[firstSortDirection]	Boolean	The direction which this column gets sorted by on first click
[header]	Renderable	What is rendered in the column header. If not provided, uses the columnId.
[renderer]	Function	function (cellData, { columnSummary, column, rowData, rowNumber, tableData, columns }) The function that renders the value in the table. Can return anything React can render.
[rendererOptions]	Object	Object of options that can be read by the renderer
[renderOnNull]	Boolean	Whether the cell should render if the cellData is null (default: false)
[simpleRenderer]	Function	function (cellData, { column, rowData, rowNumber, tableData, columns }) The function that render the cell's value in a simpler format. Must return a String or Number.
[sortType]	String	The DataType of the column to be used strictly for sorting, if not provided, uses type - number, string, etc
[sortValue]	Function	function (cellData, rowData) Function to use when sorting instead of value.
[summarize]	Function	function (column, tableData, columns) Produces an object representing a summary of the column (e.g., min and max) to be used in the
[tdClassName]	Function or String	function (cellData, { columnSummary, column, rowData, highlightedColumn, highlightedRow, rowNumber, tableData, columns, isBottomData }) A function that returns a class name based on the cell data and column summary or other information. If a string is provided, it is used directly as the class name.
[tdStyle]	Function or Object	function (cellData, { columnSummary, column, rowData, highlightedColumn, highlightedRow, rowNumber, tableData, columns, isBottomData }) A function that returns the style to be applied to the cell. If an object is provided, it is used directly as the style attribute.
[thClassName]	String	The class name to be applied to <th> only
[type]	String	The DataType of the column - number, string, etc
[value]	Function or String	function (rowData, { rowNumber, tableData, columns }) Function to produce cellData's value. If a String, reads that as a key into the rowData object. If not provided, columnId is used as a key into the rowData object.
[width]	Number or String	The value to set for the style width property on the column.

Column Groups

Column groups are defined by objects with the following format:

Name	Type	Description
[className]	String	The className to apply to cells and headers in this group
columns	String[]	The column IDs to render
[header]	Renderable	What shows up in the table header if provided

Plugins

Plugins are defined by objects with the following format:

Name	Type	Description
[columnTest]	Function	A function that takes a column and returns true or false if it the plugin should be run on this column. Default is true for everything.
id	String	The ID of the plugin
[summarize]	Function	A column summarizer function
[tdStyle]	Function or Object	The TD style function
[tdClassName]	Function or String	The TD class name function
