Table Component

A reusable, configurable table component built with React and styled using Tailwind CSS. This component dynamically adjusts its height and supports conditional scrolling based on the number of rows provided.

Prerequisites

To use this component, ensure your project meets the following requirements:

• React: This component is designed to work in a React environment.
• Tailwind CSS: Tailwind CSS should be set up in your project. See instructions below for adding Tailwind CSS.

Installation

1. Install the Table Component

   First, add the Table component package to your project:

   npm install rami-table-component

2. Add Tailwind CSS

   If you haven’t already, set up Tailwind CSS in your project:

   npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
   npx tailwindcss init -p

   Update tailwind.config.js to include the Table component's files for Tailwind’s content option. This ensures unused Tailwind CSS classes are purged in production:

   /** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
   module.exports = {
     content: [
       "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",
       "./node_modules/rami-table-component/dist/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}" // Include component files
     ],
     theme: {
       extend: {},
     },
     plugins: [],
   };

3. Import Tailwind CSS

   In your main CSS file (e.g., src/index.css), add the following Tailwind directives to load its styles:

   @tailwind base;
   @tailwind components;
   @tailwind utilities;

Usage

Once installed, you can use the Table component by importing it into your project and providing it with the necessary props.

Example

import React from 'react';
import Table from 'rami-table-component';

const App = () => {
  const data = [
    { name: "Rami  Mahfoud", age: 36, email: "[email protected]", city: "Erlangen" },
    { name: "Sarah Müller", age: 30, email: "[email protected]", city: "Berlin" },
    // Add more data as needed
  ];

  return (
    <div className="p-4">
      <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">User Table</h1>
      <Table
        list={data}
        headers={["name", "age", "email", "city"]}
        rows={5} // Number of rows to display before scrolling
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Props

The Table component accepts the following props:

• list (required): An array of objects representing table data.
• headers (optional): An array of strings to display as table headers.
• rows (optional): A number specifying how many rows to display before the table becomes scrollable.

Example Data

Here’s an example of the list data structure:

const data = [
   { name: "John", age: 36, email: "[email protected]", city: "Milan" },
   { name: "Jana Müller", age: 30, email: "[email protected]", city: "Berlin" },
  // More entries...
];

You can also include JS element in the data

const data = [
   { name: <strong>John </strong>, age: 36, email: "[email protected]", city: "Milan" },
   { name: <strong> Sarah Müller</strong>, age: 30, email: "[email protected]", city: "Berlin" },
  // More entries...
];

Customization

The Table component is built using Tailwind CSS classes, making it easy to extend and override styles within your own project. Customize by applying additional classes as needed in your Tailwind setup.

Test the component

If you want to update the component you can test it by run

npm run test
