Package Exports

react-table
react-table/lib
react-table/package.json
react-table/react-table.css

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-table) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    age: 23,
  }
},{

  header: 'Name',
  accessor: 'name',
}, {
  header: 'Age',
  accessor: 'age'
}, {
  header: 'Friend Name',
  accessor: d => d.friend.name

  accessor: 'friend.age'
}]

<ReactTable
  data=[data]
  columns={columns}
/>

Data

Every React-Table instance requires you to set the data prop. To use client-side data, simply pass the data prop anything that resembles an array or object. Client-side filtering and pagination is built in, and your table will update gracefully if you change any props. Server-side data is also supported.

Default Props

These are the default props for the main react component <ReactTable />

{
  // General
  pageSize: 20,
  minRows: 0, // Ensure this many rows are always rendered, regardless of rows on page

  // Text
  previousText: 'Previous',
  nextText: 'Next'

  // Classes
  className: '-striped -highlight', // The most top level className for the component
  tableClassName: '', // ClassName for the `table` element
  theadClassName: '', // ClassName for the `thead` element
  tbodyClassName: '', // ClassName for the `tbody` element
  trClassName: '', // ClassName for all `tr` elements
  trClassCallback: row => null, // A call back to dynamically add classes (via the classnames module) to a row element
  paginationClassName: '' // ClassName for `pagination` element
  // Styles
  style: {}, // Main style object for the component
  tableStyle: {}, // style object for the `table` component
  theadStyle: {}, // style object for the `thead` component
  tbodyStyle: {}, // style object for the `tbody` component
  trStyle: {}, // style object for the `tr` component
  trStyleCallback: row => {}, // A call back to dynamically add styles to a row element
  thStyle: {}, // style object for the `th` component
  tdStyle: {}, // style object for the `td` component
  paginationStyle: {}, // style object for the `paginination` component
}

You can easily override the core defaults like so:

import { ReactTableDefaults } from 'react-table'

Object.assign(ReactTableDefaults, {
  pageSize: 10,
  minRows: 3,
  // etc...
})

Or just define them on the component per-instance

<ReactTable
  pageSize={10}
  minRows={3}
  // etc...
  />

Columns

Every React-Table instance requires a columns prop, which is an array of objects containing the following properties

[{
  // General
  accessor: 'propertyName' or Accessor eg. (row) => row.propertyName,
  id: 'myProperty', // Conditional - A unique ID is required if the accessor is not a string or if you would like to override the column name used in server-side calls
  sortable: true,
  sort: 'asc' or 'desc',
  show: true,
  minWidth: Number // Allows the column to flex above this minimum amount

  // Cell Options
  className: '', // Set the classname of the `td` element of the column
  style: {}, // Set the style of the `td` element of the column
  innerClassName: '', // Set the classname of the `.-td-inner` element of the column
  innerStyle: {}, // Set the style of the `.-td-inner` element of the column
  render: JSX eg. ({value, rowValues, row, index, viewIndex}) => <span>{value}</span>, // Provide a JSX element or stateless function to render whatever you want as the column's cell with access to the entire row
    // value == the accessed value of the column
    // rowValues == an object of all of the accessed values for the row
    // row == the original row of data supplied to the table
    // index == the original index of the data supplied to the table
    // viewIndex == the index of the row in the current page

  // Header & HeaderGroup Options
  header: 'Header Name' or JSX eg. ({data, column}) => <div>Header Name</div>,
  headerClassName: '', // Set the classname of the `th` element of the column
  headerStyle: {}, // Set the style of the `th` element of the column
  headerInnerClassName: '', // Set the classname of the `.-th-inner` element of the column
  headerInnerStyle: {}, // Set the style of the `.th-inner` element of the column

  // Header Groups only
  columns: [...] // See Header Groups section below

}]

Styles

React-table is built to be dropped into existing applications or styled from the ground up, but if you'd like a decent starting point, you can optionally include our default theme react-table.css. We think it looks great, honestly :)

Header Groups

To group columns with another header column, just nest your columns in a header column like so:

const columns = [{
  header: 'Favorites',
  columns: [{
    header: 'Color',
    accessor: 'favorites.color'
  }, {
    header: 'Food',
    accessor: 'favorites.food'
  } {
    header: 'Actor',
    accessor: 'favorites.actor'
  }]
}]

Server-side Data

If you want to handle pagination, and sorting on the server, react-table makes it easy on you. Instead of passing the data prop an array, you provide a function instead.

This function will be called on mount, pagination events, and sorting events. It also provides you all of the parameters to help you query and format your data.

<ReactTable
  data={(params, callback) => {

    // params will give you all the info you need to query and sort your data
    params == {
      page: 0, // The page index the user is requesting
      pageSize: 20, // The current pageSize
      pages: -1, // The amount of existing pages (-1 means there is no page data yet)
      sorting: [ // An array of column sort models (yes, you can multi-sort!)
        {
          id: 'columnID', // The columnID (usually the accessor string, but can be overridden for server-side or required if the column accessor is a function)
          ascending: true or false
        }
      ]
    }

    // Query your data however you'd like, then structure your response like so:
    const result = {
      rows: [...], // Your data for the current page/sorting model
      pages: 10 // optionally provide how many pages exist (this is only needed if you choose to display page numbers, and only the first time you make the call or if the page count changes)
    }

    // You can return a promise that resolve the result
    return Axios.post('/myDataEnpoint', params) // resolves to `result`

    // or use the manual callback whenever you please
    setTimeout(() => {
      callback(result)
    }, 5000)

    // That's it!

  }}
/>

Multi-Sort

When clicking on a column header, hold shift to multi-sort! You can toggle ascending descending and none for multi-sort columns. Clicking on a header without holding shift will clear the multi-sort and replace it with the single sort of that column. It's quite handy!

Component Overrides

Though we wouldn't suggest it, react-table has the ability to change the core componentry it used to render it's table. You can do so by assigning a react component to it's corresponding global prop, or on a one-off basis like so:

// Change the global default
import { ReactTableDefaults } from 'react-table'
Object.assign(ReactTableDefaults, {
  tableComponent: Component,
  theadComponent: Component,
  tbodyComponent: Component,
  trComponent: Component,
  thComponent: Component,
  tdComponent: Component,
  paginationComponent: Component,
  previousComponent: Component,
  nextComponent: Component,
  loadingComponent: Component
})

// Or change per instance
<ReactTable
  tableComponent={Component},
  theadComponent={Component},
  // etc...
  />

If you choose to change the core components React-Table uses to render, you must make sure your components support and utilized all of the neeeded features for that component to work properly. For a broad reference on how to do this, investigate the source for the component you wish to replace.
