Relisted

React Primitives to build a sortable, filterable, data-list.

What this is

Relisted is a component that manages user interaction for sorting and filtering a list of data, while allowing you to retain complete control over the rendering of the list.

What this is NOT

This is a super early version that is just barely generalized enough for me to open-source. It does not currently have any accessibility considerations. It does not support paging or virtualization. It has built-in sort and filter functionality that might not meet your needs. My next plan on the roadmap for this is to add the ability to override the filter/sort functionality with your own custom functions.

Installation

npm install --save relisted

or

yarn add relisted

This package also depends on react and prop-types. Make sure those are both installed!

Simple Example

import Relisted from 'relisted'

function BasicList({columns, data}) {
  return (
    <Relisted>
      {({getColumnProps}) => (
        <div style={{display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column', width: '500px', height: '500px', border: '1px solid blue'}}>
          <div style={{display: 'flex', width: '100%', borderBottom: '1px solid #cdcdcd'}}>
            {columns.map(c => (
              <div key={c.name} {...getColumnProps((style: {flex: 1}))}>
                {c.text}
              </div>
            ))}
          </div>
          {data.length > 0 ?(
            <div style={{display: 'flex', width: '100%', flex: 1, flexDirection: 'column'}}>
              {data.map(row => (
                <div style={{width: '100%', display: 'flex' flexShrink: '0'}}>
                  {columns.map(c => (
                    <div key={c.name} style={{flex: 1}}>
                      {row[c.name]}
                    </div>
                  ))}
                </div>
              ))}
              </div>
          ) : (
            <div>Empty Data</div>
          )}
        </div>
      )}
    </Relisted>
  )
}

const columns = [
  { name: 'cost', text: 'Cost' },
  { name: 'name', text: 'Name' },
  { name: 'hero', text: 'Hero' },
  { name: 'rarity', text: 'Rarity' },
]

const data = [
  { cost: 1, name: 'Mistress of Mixtures', hero: 'Neutral', rarity: 'Common' },
  { cost: 2, name: 'Frostbolt', hero: 'Mage', rarity: 'Basic' },
  { cost: 3, name: 'Jade Blossom', hero: 'Druid', rarity: 'Common' },
  { cost: 6, name: 'Dragonfire Potion', hero: 'Priest', rarity: 'Epic' },
  { cost: 4, name: 'Mortal Strike', hero: 'Warrior', rarity: 'Rare' },
  {
    cost: 8,
    name: 'Ragnaros, Lightlord',
    hero: 'Paladin',
    rarity: 'Legendary',
  },
]

function App() {
  return (
    <BasicList
      columns={columns}
      data={data}
    />
  )
}

Props

sortBy

string | defaults to empty string

Pass a the name of the column you want to sort by. Used by the default filter function.

sortAscending

bool | defaults to true

Determines the sort direction on load.

children

function({}) | required

This function is called by the render of relisted and is passed an object. Read more below.

Child Callback Function

The child callback function is passed an object that has 3 different categories of properties:

prop getters

These are functions that will return an object representing props to apply to a component. Any props that you would like to apply to that component along with the ones returned by the getter should be passed to the getter function.

getColumnProps

This function is responsible for wiring up the click handling of each column header for sorting.

Required properties:

• name: the name of the column. This name gets set as the sortBy once a column header is clicked.

getFilterProps

This function applies props for controlling the state of the search filter.

There are no required properties for this function.

getClearProps

This function applies props for wiring up a button for clearing the search filter.

There are no requrired properties for this function.

helpers

These are functions that provide built-in sorting and filtering of a list.

property	type	description
filterData	function(data: [], columns: [])	filters the given data using the filter state
sortData	function(data: [])	sorts the given data using the sort state

state

These are values that represent the current internal state of the Relisted component.

property	type	description
sortBy	string	the column name to sort by
sortAscending	boolean	whether to sort in ascending order or not
filterValue	string	the value of the filter input

Examples

Examples can be found in the stories folder.

Inspiration

This library was inspired by the awesome Downshift created by Kent C. Dodds. I highly recommend checking out the documentation for that library to get a better understanding of the patterns utilized here.
