Data views
Main DataTable pageThere are currently two built-in options for displaying the data DataTable.Table
and CardView
, but you can also build your own.
DataTable.Table
The Table
component is meant to be rendered within a DataTableContext
(provided by DataTable
here).
It displays the data provided by the DataTableContext
as an html table.
Any Paragon component or export may be added to the code example.
The DataTable.Table component expects to receive a react-table instance from the DataTableContext.

Requiredspecifies the order and contents of the table's columns and provides display strings for each column's heading. It is composed of an ordered array of objects. Each object contains the following keys:
label
(string or element; required) contains the display string for each column's heading.key
(string; required) maps that label to its corresponding datum for each row indata
, to ensure table data are displayed in their appropriate columns.columnSortable
(boolean; optional) specifies at the column-level whether the column is sortable. IfcolumnSortable
istrue
, a sort button will be rendered in the column table heading. It is only required iftableSortable
is set totrue
.onSort
(function; conditionally required) specifies what function is called when a sortable column is clicked. It is only required if the column'scolumnSortable
is set totrue
.hideHeader
(boolean; optional) specifies at the column-level whether the column label is visible. A column that is sortable cannot have its label be hidden.width

elements'class
attributes will be set to this value. This allows restricting columns to specific widths. See Bootstrap's grid documentation forcol
class names that can be used.

string

- tableSortable
bool
DefaultfalseSpecifies whether the table is sortable. This setting supercedes column-level sortability, so if it is
false
, no sortable components will be rendered. - hasFixedColumnWidths

columns
must define awidth

defaultSortedColumn

isRequiredIf( PropTypes.shape({ asc: PropTypes.string, desc: PropTypes.string, defaultText: PropTypes.string, }), props => props.tableSortable, )
Default{ asc: 'sort ascending', desc: 'sort descending', defaultText: 'click to sort', }Specifies the screen reader only text that accompanies the sort buttons for sortable columns. It takes the form of an object containing the following keys:
asc
: (string) specifies the screen reader only text for sort buttons in the ascending state.desc
: (string) specifies the screen reader only text for sort buttons in the descending state.defaultText
: (string) specifies the screen reader only text for sort buttons that are not engaged.
It is only required if
tableSortable
is set totrue
.Default:
{asc: 'sort ascending',desc: 'sort descending',defaultText: 'click to sort',} - rowHeaderColumnKey
string
Specifies the key for the column that should act as a row header. Rather than rendering as
<td>
elements, cells in this column will render as<th scope="row">

Subcomponents of DataTable.Table
can be used independently of the main component. They are designed for use with a react-table
instance.

CardView and alternate table components
You may choose to use any table component by using the following code in your display component:
const instance = useContext(DataTableContext)
The CardView takes a CardComponent
that is personalized to the table in question and displays
a responsive grid of cards.
Any Paragon component or export may be added to the code example.
Sample Card component for use with CardView
The CardComponent
prop on CardView
represents a table row, and will receive the row that react-table
provides as props.
- className
string
The class name for the CardGrid component
- columnSizes

{xs:number
,sm:number
,md:number

react-bootstrap/Col
- CardComponent

- selectionPlacement
