React

Stackblitz

You can find it on stackblitz: stackblitz-guiexpert-react-table-typescript.

Installation

Add the following NPM package to your existing React project (run this in your project root directory):

npm install --save @guiexpert/table @guiexpert/react-table

Add global table CSS

To add the global guiexpert CSS file in your React project, you can include the file in the header of the index.html file:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@guiexpert/table/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />

You will also find the main.css in the downloaded node module: node_modules/@guiexpert/table/css/main.css.

Create an example component

Create a component and include the guiexpert tag in the template of your component

import { GuiexpertTable } from '@guiexpert/react-table';
import { TableFactory, TableOptions } from '@guiexpert/table';

// created once, outside the component: a new model or options object rebuilds the table
const headerData = [['Column 1', 'Column 2', 'Column 3']]; // array of array!
const bodyData = Array.from({ length: 100 }, () => ['This is a very', 'simple', 'demo.']);
const tableModel = TableFactory.createTableModel({ headerData, bodyData, overridingColumnWidth: 110 });
const tableOptions = new TableOptions();

export const App = () => (
  <GuiexpertTable tableModel={tableModel} tableOptions={tableOptions} />
);

Model or options that depend on props or state: create them with useMemo, so that they only change when their inputs change.

Be sure, that your div containers expands. Add this CSS rule to your component’s style.

#root {
