npm uninstall @aminnairi/react-tableAPI
useTable
The useTable hook is the core component of our table handling library. It simplifies the process of managing and displaying table data in your application. With this hook, you can efficiently control, sort, and filter your table data with ease. The hook accepts an options object, which includes the rows array containing your data and a set of filters to specify filtering criteria. You can even customize the filtering algorithm by using the filterWith property and provide your own function for filtering rows, or use the default defaultFilter function. It returns an object with three key functions: sortBy, createSortBy, and the rows property.
import { useTable, filterWith, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const table = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id: "",
email: ""
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
return null;
}rows
The rows property is the result of your table handling logic. It provides you with the filtered and sorted data that is ready to be rendered in your UI. This array contains the rows that meet the filter criteria and are sorted according to the chosen column key. The rows property simplifies the process of rendering your table, ensuring that you present your data to users in a clear and organized manner. By using this property, you can focus on designing your table's UI without worrying about the underlying data manipulation.
import { useTable, defaultFilter, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const { rows } = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id: "",
email: ""
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
return (
<table>
<tbody>
{rows.map(row => (
<tr key={row.id}>
<td>
{row.id}
</td>
<td>
{row.email}
</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
}sortBy
The sortBy function is a fundamental feature of our table handling library. It allows you to sort your table data based on a specified column or key. When called with the desired key, the sortBy function reorders the rows in either ascending or descending order, depending on the current sorting order of that column. Sorting can significantly enhance the usability of your table by enabling users to organize data according to their preferences. It's a simple and effective way to make your table more user-friendly.
import { useCallback } from "react";
import { useTable, defaultFilter, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const { rows, sortBy } = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id: "",
email: ""
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
const sortByIdentifier = useCallback(() => {
sortBy("identifier");
}, [sortBy]);
const sortByEmail = useCallback(() => {
sortBy("email");
}, [sortBy]);
return (
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th onClick={sortByIdentifier}>
Identifier
</th>
<th onClick={sortByEmail}>
Email
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{rows.map(row => (
<tr key={row.id}>
<td>
{row.id}
</td>
<td>
{row.email}
</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
}createSortBy
The createSortBy function is a utility function that works in tandem with sortBy. It returns a callback function that is preconfigured to sort the table by a specific column when triggered. This function is particularly useful for scenarios where you want to create sortable column headers in your table. By using createSortBy, you can easily assign sorting functionality to specific header cells in a declarative and maintainable manner.
import { useTable, defaultFilter, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const { rows, createSortBy } = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id: "",
email: ""
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
return (
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th onClick={createSortBy("identifier")}>
Identifier
</th>
<th onClick={createSortBy("email")}>
Email
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{rows.map(row => (
<tr key={row.id}>
<td>
{row.id}
</td>
<td>
{row.email}
</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
}filters
The filters option is a key feature for adding dynamic data filtering to your table. It allows you to apply multiple filters to the table data based on column values. By providing a record of filter criteria, you can quickly narrow down the displayed rows to only those that meet the specified conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial when working with large datasets, where users need to find specific information without scrolling through an extensive list of items.
import { ChangeEventHandler, useState, useCallback } from "react";
import { useTable, defaultFilter, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const [id, setId] = useState("");
const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
const { rows, createSortBy } = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id,
email
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
const updateId: ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> = useCallback(event => {
setId(event.target.value);
}, [setId]);
const updateEmail: ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> = useCallback(event => {
setEmail(event.target.value);
}, [setEmail]);
return (
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th onClick={createSortBy("identifier")}>
Identifier
</th>
<th onClick={createSortBy("email")}>
Email
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<input value={id} onChange={updateId} />
</th>
<th>
<input value={email} onChange={updateEmail} />
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{rows.map(row => (
<tr key={row.id}>
<td>
{row.id}
</td>
<td>
{row.email}
</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
}filterWith
The filterWith property let's you provide a custom function that will go through all rows and filter keys and filter out the rows following your own algorithm. This is useful if you don't like the way it is done by default using the defaultFilter function that you can also provide if you don't want to come out with a specially crafted algorithm for filtering rows. This function takes the rows and filters that you already defined and your job is to come out with an algorithm able to filter these rows. The output of this function should be an array of rows.
Below is an example, with the algorithm used in the defaultFilter function, simply rewritten for this particular section so you can get inspiration on how it is done under the hood (or read the source-code directly).
import { ChangeEventHandler, useState, useCallback } from "react";
import { useTable, Row, Filters } from "@aminnairi/react-table";
export const defaultFilter = <GenericRow extends Row, GenericFilters extends Filters<Row>>(rows: Array<GenericRow>, filters: GenericFilters): Array<GenericRow> => {
return rows.filter(row => {
return Object.entries(filters).map(([filterKey, filterValue]) => {
const normalizedRow = String(row[filterKey]);
const rowParts = normalizedRow.trim().toLowerCase().split(" ")
const filterParts = filterValue.trim().toLowerCase().split(" ");
return rowParts.some(rowPart => {
return filterParts.some(filterPart => {
return rowPart.includes(filterPart);
});
});
}).every(Boolean);
});
};
type Row = {
id: string,
email: string
}
const Component = () => {
const [id, setId] = useState("");
const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
const { rows, createSortBy } = useTable<Row, Filters<Row>>({
rows: [
{
id: "1",
email: "[email protected]"
},
{
id: "2",
email: "[email protected]"
}
],
filters: {
id,
email
},
filterWith: defaultFilter
});
const updateId: ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> = useCallback(event => {
setId(event.target.value);
}, [setId]);
const updateEmail: ChangeEventHandler<HTMLInputElement> = useCallback(event => {
setEmail(event.target.value);
}, [setEmail]);
return (
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th onClick={createSortBy("identifier")}>
Identifier
</th>
<th onClick={createSortBy("email")}>
Email
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<input value={id} onChange={updateId} />
</th>
<th>
<input value={email} onChange={updateEmail} />
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{rows.map(row => (
<tr key={row.id}>
<td>
{row.id}
</td>
<td>
{row.email}
</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
