MUI-Datatables - Datatables for Material-UI

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

Install

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",
  label: "Name",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: true,
  }
 },
 {
  name: "company",
  label: "Company",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },
 {
  name: "city",
  label: "City",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },
 {
  name: "state",
  label: "State",
  options: {
   filter: true,
   sort: false,
  }
 },
];

const data = [
 { name: "Joe James", company: "Test Corp", city: "Yonkers", state: "NY" },
 { name: "John Walsh", company: "Test Corp", city: "Hartford", state: "CT" },
 { name: "Bob Herm", company: "Test Corp", city: "Tampa", state: "FL" },
 { name: "James Houston", company: "Test Corp", city: "Dallas", state: "TX" },

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) |label|string|Column Header Name override |options|object|Options for customizing column

Column Options:

|Name|Type|Default|Description |:--:|:-----|:--|:-----| |display|string|'true'|Display column in table. enum('true', 'false', 'excluded') |empty|boolean|false|This denotes whether the column has data or not (for use with intentionally empty columns) |viewColumns|boolean|true|Allow user to toggle column visibility through 'View Column' list |filterList|array||Filter value list Example |filterOptions|{names, logic, display}||With filter options, it's possible to use custom names for the filter fields Example, custom filter logic Example, and custom rendering Example |customFilterListRender|function||Function that returns a string used as the chip label. function(value) => string Example |filter|boolean|true|Display column in filter list |filterType |string|'dropdown'|Choice of filtering view. Takes priority over global filterType option.enum('checkbox', 'dropdown', 'multiselect', 'textField', 'custom') Use 'custom' if you are supplying your own rendering via filterOptions. |sort|boolean|true|Enable/disable sorting on column |searchable|boolean|true|Exclude/include column from search results |sortDirection|string||Set default sort order enum('asc', 'desc', 'none') |print|boolean|true|Display column when printing |download|boolean|true|Display column in CSV download file |hint|string||Display hint icon with string as tooltip on hover. |customHeadRender|function||Function that returns a string or React component. Used as display for column header. function(columnMeta, handleToggleColumn) => string| React Component |customBodyRender|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 |setCellProps|function||Is called for each cell and allows to return custom props for this cell based on its data. function(cellValue: string, rowIndex: number, columnIndex: number) => object

customHeadRender is called with these arguments:

function(columnMeta: {
  customHeadRender: func,
  display: enum('true', 'false', 'excluded'),
  filter: boolean,
  sort: boolean,
  sortDirection: boolean,
  download: boolean,
  empty: boolean,
  index: number,
  label: string,
  name: string,
  print: boolean,
  searchable: boolean,
  viewColumns: boolean
}, handleToggleColumn: function(columnIndex))

customBodyRender is called with these arguments:

function(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>
    );

  }
}

Remote Data

If you are looking to work with remote data sets or handle pagination, filtering, and sorting on a remote server you can do that with the following options:

const options = {
  serverSide: true,
  onTableChange: (action, tableState) => {
    this.xhrRequest('my.api.com/tableData', result => {
      this.setState({ data: result });
    });
  }
};

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: "row(s) selected",
      delete: "Delete",
      deleteAria: "Delete Selected Rows",
    },
  }
  ...
}
