MUI-Datatables - Datatables for MUI (formerly Material-UI)

MUI-Datatables is a responsive datatables component built on Material-UI. It comes with features like filtering, resizable columns, view/hide columns, draggable 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 "vertical", "standard", and "simple" for mobile/tablet devices.

Version 3 has been released! You can read about the updates here!

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 React from "react"
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" },
];

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

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

API

<MUIDataTable />

The component accepts the following props:

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:

Column Options:

customHeadRender is called with these arguments:

function(columnMeta: {
  customHeadRender: func,
  display: enum('true', 'false', 'excluded'),
  filter: boolean,
  sort: 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 - Please use currentTableData instead
  currentTableData: array, // The current table data
  tableState: {
    announceText: null|string,
    page: number,
    rowsPerPage: number,
    filterList: array,
    selectedRows: {
      data: array,
      lookup: object,
    },
    showResponsive: boolean,
    searchText: null|string,
  },
}, updateValue: function)

Plug-ins

The table lends itself to plug-ins in many areas, especially in the customRender functions. Many use cases for these render functions are common, so a set of plug-ins are available that you can use.

Available Plug-ins:

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 { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';

class BodyCellExample extends React.Component {

  getMuiTheme = () => createTheme({
    components: {
      MUIDataTableBodyCell: {
        styleOverrides:{
          root: {
              backgroundColor: "#FF0000"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  })

  render() {

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

  }
}

Custom Components

You can pass custom components to further customize the table:

import React from "react";
import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import MUIDataTable, { TableFilterList } from "mui-datatables";

const CustomChip = ({ label, onDelete }) => {
    return (
        <Chip
            variant="outlined"
            color="secondary"
            label={label}
            onDelete={onDelete}
        />
    );
};

const CustomFilterList = (props) => {
    return <TableFilterList {...props} ItemComponent={CustomChip} />;
};

class CustomDataTable extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <MUIDataTable
                columns={columns}
                data={data}
                components={{
                  TableFilterList: CustomFilterList,
                }}
            />
        );
    }
}

Supported customizable components:

• Checkbox - A special 'data-description' prop lets you differentiate checkboxes Example. Valid values: ['row-select', 'row-select-header', 'table-filter', 'table-view-col'].The dataIndex is also passed via the "data-index" prop.
• ExpandButton Example
• DragDropBackend
• TableBody
• TableViewCol - The component that displays the view/hide list of columns on the toolbar.
• TableFilterList - You can pass ItemComponent prop to render custom filter list item.
• TableFooter
• TableHead
• TableResize
• TableToolbar
• TableToolbarSelect
• Tooltip
• icons - An object containing optional replacement icon classes for the actions toolbar. Example
  • SearchIcon
  • DownloadIcon
  • PrintIcon
  • ViewColumnIcon
  • FilterIcon

For more information, please see this example. Additionally, all examples can be viewed live at our CodeSandbox.

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",
      columnHeaderTooltip: column => `Sort for ${column.label}`
    },
    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",
    },
  }
  ...
}
