// custom cell component
const Username = ({ tableManager, value, field, data, column, colIndex, rowIndex }) => {
    return (

cellRenderer	function	used for custom rendering the checkbox cell	({ tableManager, value, data, column, colIndex, rowIndex, onChange, disabled}) => ( <input type="checkbox" onChange={ onChange } checked={ value } disabled={ disabled } /> )
headerCellRenderer	function	used for custom rendering the checkbox header cell	({ tableManager, column, mode, ref, checked, disabled, indeterminate, onChange }) => ( <input type="checkbox" onChange={ onChange } checked={ checked } disabled={ disabled } /> )

Example:

// checkbox column config

{
  id: 'checkbox',
  pinned: true,
  className: '',
  width: '54px',
  minResizeWidth: 0,
  maxResizeWidth: null,
  resizable: false,
  visible: true,
  cellRenderer: ({tableManager, value, data, column, colIndex, rowIndex, onChange, disabled}) => ( children )
  headerCellRenderer: ({tableManager, column, mode, ref, checked, disabled, indeterminate, onChange}) => ( children )
}

rows

Type: array of objects.

This prop containes the data for the rows.

Each row should have a unique identifier field, which by default is id, but it can be changed to a different field using the rowIdField prop.

// Example for a single row data

{
  "id": "some-unique-id", 
  "objectValueField": {"x": 1, "y": 2}, 
  "username":"wotham0",
  "first_name":"Waldemar",
  "last_name":"Otham",
  "avatar":"https://robohash.org/atquenihillaboriosam.bmp?size=32x32&set=set1",
  "email":"[email protected]",
  "gender":"Male",
  "ip_address":"113.75.186.33",
  "last_visited":"12/08/2019"
}

Note: If a property value is not of type string, or in cases you don’t specify a field for the column, you’ll have to use the getValue function on the column in order to extract the desired value.

Signature: getValue: ({ tableManager, value, column, rowData }) => string

Example:

Let’s say the field’s value for a cell is an object:

{ ... , fullName: {firstName: 'some-first-name', lastName: 'some-last-name'} },

Its getValue function for displaying the first and last name as a full name, would be:

getValue: ({ value }) => value.firstName + ' ' + value.lastName

The returned value will be used for searching, sorting etc…

components

Type: object.

This prop gives you the ability to override the internal components with your own custom components.

All components are exported so you’ll be able to import them from anywhere but you’ll be responsible to supply them with their props:

component	required props	optional props
Header	tableManager	—
Search	tableManager	value onChange
ColumnVisibility	tableManager	columns onChange
HeaderCell	tableManager	column
HeaderSelectionCell	tableManager	column ref onChange checked disabled
Cell	tableManager	value
EditorCell	tableManager	value data column colIndex rowIndex onChange
SelectionCell	tableManager	value disabled onChange
PlaceHolderCell	tableManager	—
Loader	tableManager	—
NoResults	tableManager	—
DragHandle	—	—
Footer	tableManager	—
Information	tableManager	totalCount pageSize pageCount selectedCount
PageSize	tableManager	value onChange options
Pagination	tableManager	page onChange

Example: Overriding the header component

const Header = ({tableManager}) => {

    const { searchApi, columnsVisibilityApi, columnsApi } = tableManager;

    const { searchText, setSearchText } = searchApi;
    const { toggleColumnVisibility } = columnsVisibilityApi;
    const { columns } = columnsApi;

    return (
        <div style={{display: 'flex', flexDirection: 'column', padding: '10px 20px', background: '#fff', width: '100%'}}>

                    value={searchText} 
                    onChange={e => setSearchText(e.target.value)} 
                    style={{width: 300}}
                />
            </div>
            <div style={{display: 'flex', marginTop: 10}}>

                {
                    columns.map((column, idx) => (
                        <div key={idx} style={{flex: 1}}>
                            <input 
                                id={`checkbox-${idx}`}
                                type="checkbox" 
                                onChange={ e => toggleColumnVisibility(column.id) } 
                                checked={ column.visible !== false } 
                            />
                            <label htmlFor={`checkbox-${idx}`} style={{flex: 1, cursor: 'pointer'}}>
                                {column.label}
                            </label>
                        </div>
                    ))
                }
            </div>
        </div>
    )
}

const MyAwesomeTable = props => {
    ...
    return (
        <GridTable
            ...

How to…

Sync/Async

react-grid-table supports 4 different data models:

Sync:

Use this flow if you have all the data locally.
Just pass all the data using the rows prop.

Required props:

name	type	description
rows*	array of objects	rows data (details)

Example:

export const SyncedTable = () => {

    const rows = getRows();
    const columns = getColumns();

    return (
        <GridTable
            columns={columns}
            rows={rows}
        />
    )
}

Async (Uncontrolled):

Use this flow if you need to fetch your data asynchrony, and want react-grid-table to manage it internally.
All the data is supplied to the table via the onRowsRequest prop.

Required props:

name	type	description
onRowsRequest*	async function	Should return a promise that resolves to {rows, totalRows}

Example:

export const AsyncUncontrolledTable = () => {
    
    const columns = getColumns();

    const onRowsRequest = async (requestData, tableManager) => {
        const response = await fetch(`app/api/rows`, {
            method: 'post',
            body: {
                from: requestData.from,
                to: requestData.to,
                searchText: requestData.searchText,
                sort: requestData.sort,
            },
        }).then(response => response.json()).catch(console.warn);

        if(!response?.items) return;
        
        return {
            rows: response.items,
            totalRows: response.totalItems
        };
    }

    return (
        <GridTable
            columns={columns}
            onRowsRequest={onRowsRequest}
        />
    )
}

Async (Controlled):

Use this flow if you need to fetch your data asynchrony, and want react-grid-table to manage it internally, but still be able to use it in other places in the app.
All the data is supplied to the table via the onRowsRequest prop, but is controlled by a parent component via rows, onRowsChange, totalRows & onTotalRowsChange props.

Required props:

name	type	description
onRowsRequest*	async function	Should return a promise that resolves to {rows, totalRows}
rows*	array of objects	rows data (details)
onRowsChange*	function	Should be used to set the current data
totalRows*	number	Should contain the current data length
onTotalRowsChange*	function	Should be used to set the current data length

Example:

export const AsyncControlledTable = () => {
    
    const columns = getColumns();
    let [rows, setRows] = useState();
    let [totalRows, setTotalRows] = useState();

    const onRowsRequest = async (requestData, tableManager) => {
        const response = await fetch(`app/api/rows`, {
            method: 'post',
            body: {
                from: requestData.from,
                to: requestData.to,
                searchText: requestData.searchText,
                sort: requestData.sort,
            },
        }).then(response => response.json()).catch(console.warn);

        if(!response?.items) return;
        
        return {
            rows: response.items,
            totalRows: response.totalItems
        };
    }

    return (
        <GridTable
            columns={columns}
            onRowsRequest={onRowsRequest}
            rows={rows}
            onRowsChange={setRows}
            totalRows={totalRows}
            onTotalRowsChange={setTotalRows}
        />
    )
}

Async (Managed):

Use it if you need to fetch your data asynchrony, and manage it yourself (Useful when there are other places that should be able to fetch the same data).
All the data is supplied to the table via the rows prop, which should be updated using the onRowsRequest prop.
Note: react-grid-table will not necessarily ask for concurrent data, which means that “holes” in the data are possible. These “holes” needs to be filled with null/undefined items in order to ensure proper functionally.

To achieve this, you can use:

let mergedRows = tableManager.asyncApi.mergeRowsAt(rows, fetchedRows, at)

Required props:

name	type	description
onRowsRequest*	async function	Should update the rows props according to the request
rows*	array of objects	rows data (details)
totalRows*	number	Should contain the current data length
onRowsReset*	function	Should be used to reset the current data. Will be called when sort or searchText change

Example:

const controller = new AbortController();

export const AsyncManagedTable = () => {
    
    const columns = getColumns();
    let rowsRef = useRef([]);
    let [totalRows, setTotalRows] = useState();

    const onRowsRequest = async (requestData, tableManager) => {
        const response = await fetch(`app/api/rows`, {
            method: 'post',
            body: {
                from: requestData.from,
                to: requestData.to,
                searchText: requestData.searchText,
                sort: requestData.sort,
            },
            signal: controller.signal,
        }).then(response => response.json()).catch(console.warn);

        if(!response?.items) return;

        rowsRef.current = tableManager.asyncApi.mergeRowsAt(rowsRef.current, response.items, requestData.from);

        setTotalRows(response.totalItems);
    }

    const onRowsReset = () => {
        rowsRef.current = [];
        setTotalRows();
        controller.abort();
    }

    return (
        <GridTable
            columns={columns}
            rows={rowsRef.current}
            onRowsRequest={onRowsRequest}
            onRowsReset={onRowsReset}
            totalRows={totalRows}
            requestDebounceTimeout={500}
        />
    )
}

Row-Editing

Row editing can be done by rendering the edit button using the cellRenderer property in the column configuration, then when clicked, it will control the editRowId prop, then the table will render the editing components for columns that are defined as editable (true by default), and as was defined in the editorCellRenderer which by default will render a text input.

Example:

// state
const [rowsData, setRows] = useState(MOCK_DATA);

// 'editRowId' can also be controlled.
// if using controlled state, you can call your 'setEditRowId' instead of 'tableManager.rowEditApi.setEditRowId' to set it directly on your state.
// the table will typicaly call 'onEditRowIdChange' to reset it if 'searchText', 'sort' or 'page' has changed.
// const [editRowId, setEditRowId] = useState(null)

// columns
let columns = [
    ...,
    {
        id: 'my-buttons-column',
        width: 'max-content',
        pinned: true,
        sortable: false,
        resizable: false,
        cellRenderer: ({ tableManager, value, data, column, colIndex, rowIndex }) => (
            <button 
                style={{marginLeft: 20}} 
                onClick={e => tableManager.rowEditApi.setEditRowId(data.id)}
            >&#x270E;</button>
        ),
        editorCellRenderer: ({ tableManager, value, data, column, colIndex, rowIndex, onChange }) => (
            <div style={{display: 'inline-flex'}}>
                <button 
                    style={{marginLeft: 20}} 
                    onClick={e => tableManager.rowEditApi.setEditRowId(null)}
                >&#x2716;</button>
                <button 
                    style={{marginLeft: 10, marginRight: 20}} 
                    onClick={e => {
                        let rowsClone = [...rowsData];
                        let updatedRowIndex = rowsClone.findIndex(r => r.id === data.id);
                        rowsClone[updatedRowIndex] = data;

                        setRowsData(rowsClone);
                        tableManager.rowEditApi.setEditRowId(null);
                    }
                }>&#x2714;</button>
            </div>
        )
    }
];

// render
<GridTable 
    columns={columns}
    rows={rowsData} 
    //editRowId={editRowId}
    //onEditRowIdChange={setEditRowId}
    ...
/>

For columns that hold values other than string, you’ll need to define the setValue function on the column so the updated value won’t override the original value.

Example:

setValue: ({value, data, setRow, column}) => {
    // value: '35', 
    // data: { ..., columnField: { fieldToUpdate: '27' }} 
    let rowClone = { ...data };
    rowClone[column.field].fieldToUpdate = value;
    setRow(rowClone);
}

Styling

Styling is done by CSS classes that you can easily override. the table’s components are mapped with pre-defined classes that should cover any situation, and you can add your own custom class per column in the columns configuration using the className property.
