MUI-Datatables - Datatables for Material-UI

MUI-Datatables is a data tables component built on Material-UI V1. It comes with features like filtering, view/hide columns, search, export to CSV download, printing, selectable rows, pagination, and sorting. On top of the ability to customize styling on most views, there are two responsive modes "stacked" and "scroll" for mobile/tablet devices.

Install

npm install mui-datatables --save

Demo

Usage

For a simple table:

import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";

const columns = ["Name", "Company", "City", "State"];

const data = [
 ["Joe James", "Test Corp", "Yonkers", "NY"],
 ["John Walsh", "Test Corp", "Hartford", "CT"],
 ["Bob Herm", "Test Corp", "Tampa", "FL"],
 ["James Houston", "Test Corp", "Dallas", "TX"],
];

const options = {
  filterType: 'checkbox',
};

<MUIDataTable 
  title={"Employee List"} 
  data={data} 
  columns={columns} 
  options={options} 
/>

Or customize columns:

import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";

const columns = [
 {
  name: "Name",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: true,
  }
 },      
 {
  name: "Company",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },
 {
  name: "City",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },  
 {
  name: "State",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },
];

const data = [
 ["Joe James", "Test Corp", "Yonkers", "NY"],
 ["John Walsh", "Test Corp", "Hartford", "CT"],
 ["Bob Herm", "Test Corp", "Tampa", "FL"],
 ["James Houston", "Test Corp", "Dallas", "TX"],
];

const options = {
  filterType: 'checkbox',
};

<MUIDataTable 
  title={"Employee List"} 
  data={data} 
  columns={columns} 
  options={options} 
/>

Customize Columns

On each column object, you have the ability to customize columns to your liking with the 'options' property. Example:

const columns = [
 {
  name: "Name",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false
  }
 },
 ...
];  

Column:

|Name|Type|Description |:--:|:-----|:-----| |Name|string|Name of column (This field is required) |options|object|Options for customizing column

Column Options:

|Name|Type|Default|Description |:--:|:-----|:--|:-----| |display|boolean|true|Display column in table |filter|boolean|true|Display column in filter list |sort|boolean|true|Enable/disable sorting on column |customRender|function||Function that returns a string or React component. Used as display data within all table cells of a given column. function(value, tableMeta, updateValue) => string| React Component Example

customRender is called with these arguments:

customRender(value: any, tableMeta: {
  rowIndex: number,
  columnIndex: number,
  columnData: array, // Columns Options object
  rowData: array, // Full row data
  tableData: array, Full table data
  tableState: {
    announceText: null|string,
    page: number,
    rowsPerPage: number,
    filterList: array,
    selectedRows: {
      data: array,
      lookup: object,
    },
    showResponsive: boolean,
    searchText: null|string,
  },
}, updateValue: function)

Customize Styling

Using Material-UI theme overrides will allow you to customize styling to your liking. First, determine which component you would want to target and then lookup the override classname. Let's start with a simple example where we will change the background color of a body cell to be red:

import React from "react";
import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";
import { createMuiTheme, MuiThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

class BodyCellExample extends React.Component {

  getMuiTheme = () => createMuiTheme({
    overrides: {
      MUIDataTableBodyCell: {
        root: {
          backgroundColor: "#FF0000"
        }
      }
    }
  })

  render() {
  
    return (
      <MuiThemeProvider theme={this.getMuiTheme()}>
        <MUIDataTable title={"ACME Employee list"} data={data} columns={columns} options={options} />
      </MuiThemeProvider>
    );

  }
}

Localization

This package decided that the cost of bringing in another library to perform localizations would be too expensive. Instead the ability to override all text labels (which aren't many) is offered through the options property textLabels. The available strings:

const options = {
  ...
  textLabels: {
    body: {
      noMatch: "Sorry, no matching records found",
      toolTip: "Sort",
    },
    pagination: {
      next: "Next Page",
      previous: "Previous Page",
      rowsPerPage: "Rows per page:",
      displayRows: "of",
    },
    toolbar: {
      search: "Search",
      downloadCsv: "Download CSV",
      print: "Print",
      viewColumns: "View Columns",
      filterTable: "Filter Table",
    },
    filter: {
      all: "All",
      title: "FILTERS",
      reset: "RESET",
    },
    viewColumns: {
      title: "Show Columns",
      titleAria: "Show/Hide Table Columns",
    },
    selectedRows: {
      text: "rows(s) selected",
      delete: "Delete",
      deleteAria: "Delete Selected Rows",
    },
  }
  ... 
}
