What is rc-table?
The rc-table npm package is a React component for rendering tables. It provides a range of features for creating and managing tables in a React application, including customizable columns, sorting, pagination, and more.
What are rc-table's main functionalities?
Customizable columns
Define the structure of the table by specifying columns with titles, data indexes, and keys.
const columns = [
{ title: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name', key: 'name' },
{ title: 'Age', dataIndex: 'age', key: 'age' },
{ title: 'Address', dataIndex: 'address', key: 'address' }
];
<Table columns={columns} dataSource={data} />
Pagination
Easily paginate your table data by providing a pagination configuration object.
<Table columns={columns} dataSource={data} pagination={{ pageSize: 50 }} />
Sorting
Enable sorting on columns by providing a sorter function.
const columns = [
{ title: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name', key: 'name', sorter: (a, b) => a.name.length - b.name.length },
{ title: 'Age', dataIndex: 'age', key: 'age', sorter: (a, b) => a.age - b.age }
];
<Table columns={columns} dataSource={data} />
Selection
Allow row selection and handle selected rows with a callback function.
const rowSelection = {
onChange: (selectedRowKeys, selectedRows) => {
console.log(`selectedRowKeys: ${selectedRowKeys}`, 'selectedRows: ', selectedRows);
}
};
<Table rowSelection={rowSelection} columns={columns} dataSource={data} />
Expandable Rows
Create expandable rows to show additional information about a row.
const expandedRowRender = record => <p>{record.description}</p>;
<Table columns={columns} expandedRowRender={expandedRowRender} dataSource={data} />
