TableInHtmlTable

The TableInHtmlTable component renders the contents of a single Table in a Store as an HTML <table> element, and registers a listener so that any changes to that result will cause a re-render.

TableInHtmlTable(props: TableInHtmlTableProps & HtmlTableProps): ComponentReturnType
TypeDescription
propsTableInHtmlTableProps & HtmlTableProps

The props for this component.

returnsComponentReturnType

A rendering of the Table in a <table> element.

See the <TableInHtmlTable /> demo for this component in action.

The component's props identify which Table to render based on Table Id, and Store (which is either the default context Store, a named context Store, or by explicit reference).

This component renders a Table by iterating over its Row objects. By default the Cells are in turn rendered with the CellView component, but you can override this behavior by providing a component for each Cell in the customCells prop. You can pass additional props to that custom component with the getComponentProps callback. See the CustomCell type for more details.

This component uses the useRowIds hook under the covers, which means that any changes to the structure of the Table will cause a re-render.

You can use the headerRow and idColumn props to control whether the Ids appear in a <th> element at the top of the table, and the start of each row.

Examples

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Store is provided. The TableInHtmlTable component within it then renders the Table in a <table> element with a CSS class.

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => <TableInHtmlTable tableId="pets" className="table" />;

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {
  fido: {species: 'dog'},
  felix: {species: 'cat'},
});
const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// ->
`
<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Id</th>
      <th>species</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th>fido</th>
      <td>dog</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>felix</th>
      <td>cat</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
`;

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Store is provided. The TableInHtmlTable component within it then renders the Table with a custom component and a custom props callback for the species Cell. The header row at the top of the table and the Id column at the start of each row is removed.

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <TableInHtmlTable
    tableId="pets"
    customCells={customCells}
    headerRow={false}
    idColumn={false}
  />
);

const FormattedCellView = ({tableId, rowId, cellId, bold}) => (
  <>
    {bold ? <b>{rowId}</b> : rowId}:
    <CellView tableId={tableId} rowId={rowId} cellId={cellId} />
  </>
);
const customCells = {
  species: {
    component: FormattedCellView,
    getComponentProps: (rowId, cellId) => ({bold: rowId == 'fido'}),
  },
};

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {
  fido: {species: 'dog'},
  felix: {species: 'cat'},
});
const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// ->
`
<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td><b>fido</b>:dog</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>felix:cat</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
`;
