TableView

The TableView component renders the contents of a single Table in a Store, and registers a listener so that any changes to that result will cause a re-render.

TableView(props: TableProps): ComponentReturnType
TypeDescription
propsTableProps

The props for this component.

returnsComponentReturnType

A rendering of the Table, or nothing, if not present.

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 these are in turn rendered with the RowView component, but you can override this behavior by providing a rowComponent prop, a custom component of your own that will render a Row based on RowProps. You can also pass additional props to your custom component with the getRowComponentProps callback prop.

You can create your own TableView-like component to customize the way that a Table is rendered: see the TablesView component 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.

Since v4.1.0, you can use the customCellIds prop if you want to render a prescribed set of the Table's Cells in a given order for each Row.

Examples

This example creates a Store outside the application, which is used in the TableView component by reference. A change to the data in the Store re-renders the component.

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {fido: {species: 'dog'}});
const App = () => (
  <div>
    <TableView tableId="pets" store={store} separator="/" />
  </div>
);

const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>dog</div>'

store.setRow('pets', 'felix', {species: 'cat'});
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>dog/cat</div>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Store is provided. The TableView component within it then renders the Table for a custom set of Cell Ids (and rendered with Ids for readability).

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const customCellIds = ['species'];
const Pane = () => (
  <div>
    <TableView
      tableId="pets"
      customCellIds={customCellIds}
      debugIds={true}
    />
  </div>
);

const store = createStore().setTable('pets', {
  fido: {color: 'black', species: 'dog'},
  felix: {color: 'brown', species: 'cat'},
});
const app = document.createElement('div');
ReactDOMClient.createRoot(app).render(<App store={store} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<div>pets:{fido:{species:{dog}}felix:{species:{cat}}}</div>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Store is provided. The TableView component within it then renders the Table with a custom Row component and a custom props callback.

const App = ({store}) => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => (
  <div>
    <TableView
      tableId="pets"
      rowComponent={FormattedRowView}
      getRowComponentProps={(rowId) => ({bold: rowId == 'fido'})}
    />
  </div>
);
const FormattedRowView = ({tableId, rowId, bold}) => (
  <span>
    {bold ? <b>{rowId}</b> : rowId}
    {': '}
    <RowView tableId={tableId} rowId={rowId} />
  </span>
);

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);
// -> '<div><span><b>fido</b>: dog</span><span>felix: cat</span></div>'
