useTable

Provides the behavior and accessibility implementation for a table component. A table displays data in rows and columns and enables a user to navigate its contents via directional navigation keys, and optionally supports row selection and sorting.

Features#

A table can be built using the <table>, <tr>, <td>, and other table specific HTML elements, but is very limited in functionality especially when it comes to user interactions. HTML tables are meant for static content, rather than tables with rich interactions like focusable elements within cells, keyboard navigation, row selection, sorting, etc. useTable helps achieve accessible and interactive table components that can be styled as needed.

Exposed to assistive technology as a grid using ARIA
Keyboard navigation between columns, rows, cells, and in-cell focusable elements via the arrow keys
Single, multiple, or no row selection via mouse, touch, or keyboard interactions
Support for disabled rows, which cannot be selected
Optional support for checkboxes in each row for selection, as well as in the header to select all rows
Support for both toggle and replace selection behaviors
Support for row actions via double click, Enter key, or tapping
Long press to enter selection mode on touch when there is both selection and row actions
Column sorting support
Async loading, infinite scrolling, filtering, and sorting support
Support for column groups via nested columns
Typeahead to allow focusing rows by typing text
Automatic scrolling support during keyboard navigation
Labeling support for accessibility
Support for marking columns as row headers, which will be read when navigating the rows with a screen reader
Ensures that selections are announced using an ARIA live region
Support for using HTML table elements, or custom element types (e.g. <div>) for layout flexibility
Virtualized scrolling support for performance with large tables

Anatomy#

A table consists of a container element, with columns and rows of cells containing data inside. The cells within a table may contain focusable elements or plain text content. If the table supports row selection, each row can optionally include a selection checkbox in the first column. Additionally, a "select all" checkbox is displayed as the first column header if the table supports multiple row selection.

The useTable, useTableRow, useTableCell, and useTableColumnHeader hooks handle keyboard, mouse, and other interactions to support row selection, in table navigation, and overall focus behavior. Those hooks, along with useTableRowGroup and useTableHeaderRow, also handle exposing the table and its contents to assistive technology using ARIA. useTableSelectAllCheckbox and useTableSelectionCheckbox handle row selection and associating each checkbox with its respective rows for assistive technology. Each of these hooks returns props to be spread onto the appropriate HTML element.

State is managed by the useTableState hook from @react-stately/table. The state object should be passed as an option to each of the above hooks where applicable.

Note that an aria-label or aria-labelledby must be passed to the table to identify the element to assistive technology.

State management#

useTable requires knowledge of the rows, cells, and columns in the table in order to handle keyboard navigation and other interactions. It does this using the Collection interface, which is a generic interface to access sequential unique keyed data. You can implement this interface yourself, e.g. by using a prop to pass a list of item objects, but useTableState from @react-stately/table implements a JSX based interface for building collections instead. See Collection Components for more information, and Collection Interface for internal details.

Data is defined using the TableHeader, Column, TableBody, Row, and Cell components, which support both static and dynamic data. See the examples in the usage section below for details on how to use these components.

In addition, useTableState manages the state necessary for multiple selection and exposes a SelectionManager, which makes use of the collection to provide an interface to update the selection state. For more information, see Selection.

Example#

Tables are complex collection components that are built up from many child elements including columns, rows, and cells. In this example, we'll use the standard HTML table elements along with hooks from React Aria for each child. You may also use other elements like <div> to render these components as appropriate. Since there are many pieces, we'll walk through each of them one by one.

The useTable hook will be used to render the outer most table element. It uses the useTableState hook to construct the table's collection of rows and columns, and manage state such as the focused row/cell, selection, and sort column/direction. We'll use the collection to iterate through the rows and cells of the table and render the relevant components, which we'll define below.

            )}
          </TableRow>
        ))}
      </TableRowGroup>
    </table>
  );
}

Table header#

A useTableRowGroup hook will be used to group the rows in the table header and table body. In this example, we're using HTML table elements, so this will be either a <thead> or <tbody> element, as passed from the above Table component via the type prop.

function TableRowGroup({type: Element, style, children}) {
  let {rowGroupProps} = useTableRowGroup();
  return (
    <Element {...rowGroupProps} style={style}>
      {children}
    </Element>
  );
}

function TableRowGroup({type: Element, style, children}) {
  let {rowGroupProps} = useTableRowGroup();
  return (
    <Element {...rowGroupProps} style={style}>
      {children}
    </Element>
  );
}

function TableRowGroup(
  {
    type: Element,
    style,
    children
  }
) {
  let { rowGroupProps } =
    useTableRowGroup();
  return (
    <Element
      {...rowGroupProps}
      style={style}
    >
      {children}
    </Element>
  );
}

The useTableHeaderRow hook will be used to render a header row. Header rows are similar to other rows, but they don't support user interaction like selection. In this example, there's only one header row, but there could be multiple in the case of nested columns. See the example below for details.

function TableHeaderRow({item, state, children}) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let {rowProps} = useTableHeaderRow({node: item}, state, ref);

  return (
    <tr {...rowProps} ref={ref}>
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

function TableHeaderRow({ item, state, children }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { rowProps } = useTableHeaderRow(
    { node: item },
    state,
    ref
  );

  return (
    <tr {...rowProps} ref={ref}>
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

function TableHeaderRow(
  {
    item,
    state,
    children
  }
) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { rowProps } =
    useTableHeaderRow(
      { node: item },
      state,
      ref
    );

  return (
    <tr
      {...rowProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

The useTableColumnHeader hook will be used to render each column header. Column headers act as a label for all of the cells in that column, and can optionally support user interaction to sort by the column and change the sort order.

The allowsSorting property of the column object can be used to determine if the column supports sorting at all.

The sortDescriptor object stored in the state object indicates which column the table is currently sorted by, as well as the sort direction (ascending or descending). This is used to render an arrow icon to visually indicate the sort direction. When not sorted by this column, we use visibility: hidden to ensure that we reserve space for this icon at all times. That way the table's layout doesn't shift when we change the column we're sorting by. See the example below of all of this in action.

Finally, we use the useFocusRing hook to ensure that a focus ring is rendered when the cell is navigated to with the keyboard.

function TableColumnHeader({ column, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { columnHeaderProps } = useTableColumnHeader(
    { node: column },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let { isFocusVisible, focusProps } = useFocusRing();
  let arrowIcon = state.sortDescriptor?.direction === 'ascending' ? '▲' : '▼';

  return (
    <th
      {...mergeProps(columnHeaderProps, focusProps)}
      colSpan={column.colspan}
      style={{
        textAlign: column.colspan > 1 ? 'center' : 'left',
        padding: '5px 10px',
        outline: isFocusVisible ? '2px solid orange' : 'none',
        cursor: 'default'
      }}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {column.rendered}
      {column.props.allowsSorting &&
        (
          <span
            aria-hidden="true"
            style={{
              padding: '0 2px',
              visibility: state.sortDescriptor?.column === column.key
                ? 'visible'
                : 'hidden'
            }}
          >
            {arrowIcon}
          </span>
        )}
    </th>
  );
}

function TableColumnHeader({ column, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { columnHeaderProps } = useTableColumnHeader(
    { node: column },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let { isFocusVisible, focusProps } = useFocusRing();
  let arrowIcon =
    state.sortDescriptor?.direction === 'ascending'
      ? '▲'
      : '▼';

  return (

              visibility:
                state.sortDescriptor?.column === column.key
                  ? 'visible'
                  : 'hidden'
            }}
          >

Table body#

Now that we've covered the table header, let's move on to the body. We'll use the useTableRow hook to render each row in the table. Table rows can be focused and navigated to using the keyboard via the arrow keys. In addition, table rows can optionally support selection via mouse, touch, or keyboard. Clicking, tapping, or pressing the Space key anywhere in the row selects it. Row actions are also supported, see below for details.

We'll use the SelectionManager object exposed by the state to determine if a row is selected, and render a pink background if so. We'll also use the useFocusRing hook to render a focus ring when the user navigates to the row with the keyboard.

function TableRow({item, children, state}) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSelected = state.selectionManager.isSelected(item.key);
  let {rowProps, isPressed} = useTableRow({
    node: item
  }, state, ref);
  let {isFocusVisible, focusProps} = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <tr
      style={{
        background: isSelected
          ? 'blueviolet'
          : isPressed
            ? 'var(--spectrum-global-color-gray-400)'
            : item.index % 2
              ? 'var(--spectrum-alias-highlight-hover)'
              : 'none',
        color: isSelected ? 'white' : null,
        outline: isFocusVisible ? '2px solid orange' : 'none'
      }}
      {...mergeProps(rowProps, focusProps)}
      ref={ref}>
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

function TableRow({ item, children, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSelected = state.selectionManager.isSelected(
    item.key
  );
  let { rowProps, isPressed } = useTableRow(
    {
      node: item
    },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let { isFocusVisible, focusProps } = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <tr
      style={{
        background: isSelected ? 'blueviolet' : isPressed
          ? 'var(--spectrum-global-color-gray-400)'
          : item.index % 2
          ? 'var(--spectrum-alias-highlight-hover)'
          : 'none',
        color: isSelected ? 'white' : null,
        outline: isFocusVisible
          ? '2px solid orange'
          : 'none'
      }}
      {...mergeProps(rowProps, focusProps)}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

function TableRow(
  {
    item,
    children,
    state
  }
) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSelected = state
    .selectionManager
    .isSelected(
      item.key
    );
  let {
    rowProps,
    isPressed
  } = useTableRow(
    {
      node: item
    },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let {
    isFocusVisible,
    focusProps
  } = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <tr
      style={{
        background:
          isSelected
            ? 'blueviolet'
            : isPressed
            ? 'var(--spectrum-global-color-gray-400)'
            : item
                .index %
                2
            ? 'var(--spectrum-alias-highlight-hover)'
            : 'none',
        color: isSelected
          ? 'white'
          : null,
        outline:
          isFocusVisible
            ? '2px solid orange'
            : 'none'
      }}
      {...mergeProps(
        rowProps,
        focusProps
      )}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {children}
    </tr>
  );
}

Finally, we'll use the useTableCell hook to render each cell. Users can use the left and right arrow keys to navigate to each cell in a row, as well as any focusable elements within a cell. This is indicated by the focus ring, as created with the useFocusRing hook. The cell's contents are available in the rendered property of the cell Node object.

function TableCell({cell, state}) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let {gridCellProps} = useTableCell({node: cell}, state, ref);
  let {isFocusVisible, focusProps} = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <td
      {...mergeProps(gridCellProps, focusProps)}
      style={{
        padding: '5px 10px',
        outline: isFocusVisible ? '2px solid orange' : 'none',
        cursor: 'default'
      }}
      ref={ref}>
      {cell.rendered}
    </td>
  );
}

function TableCell({ cell, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { gridCellProps } = useTableCell(
    { node: cell },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let { isFocusVisible, focusProps } = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <td
      {...mergeProps(gridCellProps, focusProps)}
      style={{
        padding: '5px 10px',
        outline: isFocusVisible
          ? '2px solid orange'
          : 'none',
        cursor: 'default'
      }}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {cell.rendered}
    </td>
  );
}

function TableCell(
  { cell, state }
) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { gridCellProps } =
    useTableCell(
      { node: cell },
      state,
      ref
    );
  let {
    isFocusVisible,
    focusProps
  } = useFocusRing();

  return (
    <td
      {...mergeProps(
        gridCellProps,
        focusProps
      )}
      style={{
        padding:
          '5px 10px',
        outline:
          isFocusVisible
            ? '2px solid orange'
            : 'none',
        cursor: 'default'
      }}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {cell.rendered}
    </td>
  );
}

With all of the above components in place, we can render an example of our Table in action. This example shows a static collection, where all of the data is hard coded. See below for examples of using this Table component with dynamic collections (e.g. from a server).

Try tabbing into the table and navigating using the arrow keys.

Adding selection#

Next, let's add support for selection. For multiple selection, we'll want to add a column of checkboxes to the left of the table to allow the user to select rows. This is done using the useTableSelectionCheckbox hook. It is passed the parentKey of the cell, which refers to the row the cell is contained within. When the user checks or unchecks the checkbox, the row will be added or removed from the Table's selection.

In this example, we pass the result of the checkboxProps into the useCheckbox hook and render an <input> element directly, but it's likely you'll have a Checkbox component in your component library that uses these hooks already. See the useCheckbox docs for more information.

import {useToggleState} from '@react-stately/toggle';
import {useCheckbox} from '@react-aria/checkbox';

function TableCheckboxCell({ cell, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { gridCellProps } = useTableCell({ node: cell }, state, ref);
  let { checkboxProps } = useTableSelectionCheckbox(
    { key: cell.parentKey },
    state
  );

  let inputRef = useRef(null);
  let { inputProps } = useCheckbox(
    checkboxProps,
    useToggleState(checkboxProps),
    inputRef
  );

  return (
    <td
      {...gridCellProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      <input {...inputProps} />
    </td>
  );
}

import {useToggleState} from '@react-stately/toggle';
import {useCheckbox} from '@react-aria/checkbox';

function TableCheckboxCell({ cell, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { gridCellProps } = useTableCell(
    { node: cell },
    state,
    ref
  );
  let { checkboxProps } = useTableSelectionCheckbox({
    key: cell.parentKey
  }, state);

  let inputRef = useRef(null);
  let { inputProps } = useCheckbox(
    checkboxProps,
    useToggleState(checkboxProps),
    inputRef
  );

  return (
    <td
      {...gridCellProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      <input {...inputProps} />
    </td>
  );
}

import {useToggleState} from '@react-stately/toggle';
import {useCheckbox} from '@react-aria/checkbox';

function TableCheckboxCell(
  { cell, state }
) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let { gridCellProps } =
    useTableCell(
      { node: cell },
      state,
      ref
    );
  let { checkboxProps } =
    useTableSelectionCheckbox(
      {
        key:
          cell.parentKey
      },
      state
    );

  let inputRef = useRef(
    null
  );
  let { inputProps } =
    useCheckbox(
      checkboxProps,
      useToggleState(
        checkboxProps
      ),
      inputRef
    );

  return (
    <td
      {...gridCellProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      <input
        {...inputProps}
      />
    </td>
  );
}

We also want the user to be able to select all rows in the table at once. This is possible using the ⌘ Cmd + A keyboard shortcut, but we'll also add a checkbox into the table header to do this and represent the selection state visually. This is done using the useTableSelectAllCheckbox hook. When all rows are selected, the checkbox will be shown as checked, and when only some rows are selected, the checkbox will be rendered in an indeterminate state. The user can check or uncheck the checkbox to select all or clear the selection, respectively.

Note: Always ensure that the cell has accessible content, even when the checkbox is hidden (i.e. in single selection mode). The VisuallyHidden component can be used to do this.

function TableSelectAllCell({ column, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSingleSelectionMode = state.selectionManager.selectionMode === 'single';
  let { columnHeaderProps } = useTableColumnHeader(
    { node: column },
    state,
    ref
  );

  let { checkboxProps } = useTableSelectAllCheckbox(state);
  let inputRef = useRef(null);
  let { inputProps } = useCheckbox(
    checkboxProps,
    useToggleState(checkboxProps),
    inputRef
  );

  return (
    <th
      {...columnHeaderProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {state.selectionManager.selectionMode === 'single'
        ? <VisuallyHidden>{inputProps['aria-label']}</VisuallyHidden>
        : <input {...inputProps} ref={inputRef} />}
    </th>
  );
}

function TableSelectAllCell({ column, state }) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSingleSelectionMode =
    state.selectionManager.selectionMode === 'single';
  let { columnHeaderProps } = useTableColumnHeader(
    { node: column },
    state,
    ref
  );

  let { checkboxProps } = useTableSelectAllCheckbox(state);
  let inputRef = useRef(null);
  let { inputProps } = useCheckbox(
    checkboxProps,
    useToggleState(checkboxProps),
    inputRef
  );

  return (
    <th
      {...columnHeaderProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {state.selectionManager.selectionMode === 'single'
        ? (
          <VisuallyHidden>
            {inputProps['aria-label']}
          </VisuallyHidden>
        )
        : <input {...inputProps} ref={inputRef} />}
    </th>
  );
}

function TableSelectAllCell(
  { column, state }
) {
  let ref = useRef();
  let isSingleSelectionMode =
    state
      .selectionManager
      .selectionMode ===
      'single';
  let {
    columnHeaderProps
  } =
    useTableColumnHeader(
      { node: column },
      state,
      ref
    );

  let { checkboxProps } =
    useTableSelectAllCheckbox(
      state
    );
  let inputRef = useRef(
    null
  );
  let { inputProps } =
    useCheckbox(
      checkboxProps,
      useToggleState(
        checkboxProps
      ),
      inputRef
    );

  return (
    <th
      {...columnHeaderProps}
      ref={ref}
    >
      {state
          .selectionManager
          .selectionMode ===
          'single'
        ? (
          <VisuallyHidden>
            {inputProps[
              'aria-label'
            ]}
          </VisuallyHidden>
        )
        : (
          <input
            {...inputProps}
            ref={inputRef}
          />
        )}
    </th>
  );
}

The following example shows how to enable multiple selection support using the Table component we built above. It's as simple as setting the selectionMode prop to "multiple". Because we set the showSelectionCheckboxes option of useTableState to true when multiple selection is enabled, an extra column for these checkboxes is automatically added for us.

<Table aria-label="Table with selection" selectionMode="multiple">
  <TableHeader>
    <Column>Name</Column>
    <Column>Type</Column>

</Table>

And that's it! We now have a fully interactive table component that can support keyboard navigation, single or multiple selection, as well as column sorting. In addition, it is fully accessible for screen readers and other assistive technology. See below for more examples of how to use the Table component that we've built.

So far, our examples have shown static collections, where the data is hard coded. Dynamic collections, as shown below, can be used when the table data comes from an external data source such as an API, or updates over time. In the example below, both the columns and the rows are provided to the table via a render function. You can also make the columns static and only the rows dynamic.

function ExampleTable(props) {
  let columns = [
    {name: 'Name', key: 'name'},
    {name: 'Type', key: 'type'},
    {name: 'Date Modified', key: 'date'}
  ];

  let rows = [
    {id: 1, name: 'Games', date: '6/7/2020', type: 'File folder'},
    {id: 2, name: 'Program Files', date: '4/7/2021', type: 'File folder'},
    {id: 3, name: 'bootmgr', date: '11/20/2010', type: 'System file'},
    {id: 4, name: 'log.txt', date: '1/18/2016', type: 'Text Document'}
  ];

  return (
    <Table aria-label="Example dynamic collection table" {...props}>
      <TableHeader columns={columns}>
        {column => (
          <Column>
            {column.name}
          </Column>
        )}
      </TableHeader>
      <TableBody items={rows}>
        {item => (
          <Row>
            {columnKey => <Cell>{item[columnKey]}</Cell>}
          </Row>
        )}
      </TableBody>
    </Table>
  );
}

function ExampleTable(props) {
  let columns = [
    { name: 'Name', key: 'name' },
    { name: 'Type', key: 'type' },
    { name: 'Date Modified', key: 'date' }
  ];

  let rows = [
    {
      id: 1,

                {item[
                  columnKey
                ]}
              </Cell>
            )}
          </Row>
        )}
      </TableBody>
    </Table>
  );
}

Single selection#

By default, useTableState doesn't allow row selection but this can be enabled using the selectionMode prop. Use defaultSelectedKeys to provide a default set of selected rows. Note that the value of the selected keys must match the key prop of the row.

The example below enables single selection mode, and uses defaultSelectedKeys to select the row with key equal to "2". A user can click on a different row to change the selection, or click on the same row again to deselect it entirely.

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable selectionMode="single" defaultSelectedKeys={[2]} />

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="single"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[2]}
/>

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="single"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[
    2
  ]}
/>

Multiple selection#

Multiple selection can be enabled by setting selectionMode to multiple.

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable selectionMode="multiple" defaultSelectedKeys={[2, 4]} />

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[2, 4]}
/>

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[
    2,
    4
  ]}
/>

Disallow empty selection#

Table also supports a disallowEmptySelection prop which forces the user to have at least one row in the Table selected at all times. In this mode, if a single row is selected and the user presses it, it will not be deselected.

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="single"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[2]}
  disallowEmptySelection
/>

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="single"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[2]}
  disallowEmptySelection
/>

// Using the example above
<ExampleTable
  selectionMode="single"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[
    2
  ]}
  disallowEmptySelection
/>

Controlled selection#

To programmatically control row selection, use the selectedKeys prop paired with the onSelectionChange callback. The key prop from the selected rows will be passed into the callback when the row is pressed, allowing you to update state accordingly.

function PokemonTable(props) {
  let columns = [
    { name: 'Name', uid: 'name' },
    { name: 'Type', uid: 'type' },
    { name: 'Level', uid: 'level' }
  ];

  let rows = [
    { id: 1, name: 'Charizard', type: 'Fire, Flying', level: '67' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Blastoise', type: 'Water', level: '56' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Venusaur', type: 'Grass, Poison', level: '83' },
    { id: 4, name: 'Pikachu', type: 'Electric', level: '100' }
  ];

  let [selectedKeys, setSelectedKeys] = React.useState(new Set([2]));

        )}
      </TableBody>
    </Table>
  );

Disabled rows#

You can disable specific rows by providing an array of keys to useTableState via the disabledKeys prop. This will prevent rows from being selectable as shown in the example below. Note that you are responsible for the styling of disabled rows, however, the selection checkbox will be automatically disabled.

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable selectionMode="multiple" disabledKeys={[3]} />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable selectionMode="multiple" disabledKeys={[3]} />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  disabledKeys={[3]}
/>

Selection behavior#

By default, useTable uses the "toggle" selection behavior, which behaves like a checkbox group: clicking, tapping, or pressing the Space or Enter keys toggles selection for the focused row. Using the arrow keys moves focus but does not change selection. The "toggle" selection mode is often paired with a column of checkboxes in each row as an explicit affordance for selection.

When the selectionBehavior prop is set to "replace", clicking a row with the mouse replaces the selection with only that row. Using the arrow keys moves both focus and selection. To select multiple rows, modifier keys such as Ctrl, Cmd, and Shift can be used. To move focus without moving selection, the Ctrl key on Windows or the Option key on macOS can be held while pressing the arrow keys. Holding this modifier while pressing the Space key toggles selection for the focused row, which allows multiple selection of non-contiguous items. On touch screen devices, selection always behaves as toggle since modifier keys may not be available. This behavior emulates native platforms such as macOS and Windows, and is often used when checkboxes in each row are not desired.

<PokemonTable selectionMode="multiple" selectionBehavior="replace" />

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionBehavior="replace"
/>

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionBehavior="replace"
/>

Row and cell actions#

useTable may be used in use cases where users can perform actions on rows or cells, such as navigating into items to open them or get more details. In the default "toggle" selection behavior, it is recommended to use a link in the first column for navigation.

In the "replace" selection behavior, the onRowAction and onCellAction prop can be used to enable row and cell actions, which differ depending on the interaction method. When provided to useTableState, double clicking with a mouse or pressing the Enter key triggers the action, while single click and the Space key are reserved for selection. On touch devices, the action becomes the primary tap interaction, and a long press enters into selection mode, which temporarily swaps the selection behavior to "toggle" to perform selection (you may wish to display checkboxes when this happens). Deselecting all items exits selection mode and reverts the selection behavior back to "replace". Double clicking matches the behavior of desktop platforms like macOS and Windows, and a separate selection mode matches mobile platforms like iOS and Android.

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionBehavior="replace"
  onRowAction={(key) => alert(`Opening item ${key}...`)}
/>

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionBehavior="replace"
  onRowAction={(key) => alert(`Opening item ${key}...`)}
/>

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionBehavior="replace"
  onRowAction={(key) =>
    alert(
      `Opening item ${key}...`
    )}
/>

Sorting#

Table supports sorting its data when a column header is pressed. To designate that a Column should support sorting, provide it with the allowsSorting prop. The Table accepts a sortDescriptor prop that defines the current column key to sort by and the sort direction (ascending/descending). When the user presses a sortable column header, the column's key and sort direction is passed into the onSortChange callback, allowing you to update the sortDescriptor appropriately.

This example performs client side sorting by passing a sort function to the useAsyncList hook. See the docs for more information on how to perform server side sorting.

import {useAsyncList} from '@react-stately/data';

function AsyncSortTable() {
  let list = useAsyncList({
    async load({ signal }) {
      let res = await fetch(`https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search`, {
        signal
      });
      let json = await res.json();
      return {
        items: json.results
      };
    },
    async sort({ items, sortDescriptor }) {
      return {
        items: items.sort((a, b) => {
          let first = a[sortDescriptor.column];
          let second = b[sortDescriptor.column];
          let cmp = (parseInt(first) || first) < (parseInt(second) || second)
            ? -1
            : 1;
          if (sortDescriptor.direction === 'descending') {
            cmp *= -1;
          }
          return cmp;
        })
      };
    }
  });

  return (

Nested columns#

Columns can be nested to create column groups. This will result in more than one header row to be created, with the colspan attribute of each column header cell set to the appropriate value so that the columns line up. Data for the leaf columns appears in each row of the table body.

This example also shows the use of the isRowHeader prop for Column, which controls which columns are included in the accessibility name for each row. By default, only the first column is included, but in some cases more than one column may be used to represent the row. In this example, the first and last name columns are combined to form the ARIA label for the row. Only leaf columns may be marked as row headers.

Internationalization#

useTable handles some aspects of internationalization automatically. For example, type to select is implemented with an Intl.Collator for internationalized string matching, and keyboard navigation is mirrored in right-to-left languages. You are responsible for localizing all text content within the table.

RTL#

In right-to-left languages, the table layout should be mirrored. The columns should be ordered from right to left and the individual column text alignment should be inverted. Ensure that your CSS accounts for this.

Name	Type	Default	Description
`layout`	`Layout<Node<T>>`	—	The layout object for the table. Computes what content is visible and how to position and style them.
`isVirtualized`	`boolean`	—	Whether the grid uses virtual scrolling.
`keyboardDelegate`	`KeyboardDelegate`	—	An optional keyboard delegate implementation for type to select, to override the default.
`focusMode`	`'row' \| 'cell'`	`'row'`	Whether initial grid focus should be placed on the grid row or grid cell.
`getRowText`	`( (key: Key )) => string`	`(key) => state.collection.getItem(key)?.textValue`	A function that returns the text that should be announced by assistive technology when a row is added or removed from selection.
`scrollRef`	`RefObject<HTMLElement>`	—	The ref attached to the scrollable body. Used to provided automatic scrolling on item focus for non-virtualized grids.
`onRowAction`	`( (key: Key )) => void`	—	Handler that is called when a user performs an action on the row.
`onCellAction`	`( (key: Key )) => void`	—	Handler that is called when a user performs an action on the cell.
`id`	`string`	—	The element's unique identifier. See MDN.
`aria-label`	`string`	—	Defines a string value that labels the current element.
`aria-labelledby`	`string`	—	Identifies the element (or elements) that labels the current element.
`aria-describedby`	`string`	—	Identifies the element (or elements) that describes the object.
`aria-details`	`string`	—	Identifies the element (or elements) that provide a detailed, extended description for the object.

[CollectionView]{@link CollectionView} supports arbitrary layout objects, which compute what views are visible, and how to position and style them. However, layouts do not create the views themselves directly. Instead, layouts produce lightweight {@link LayoutInfo} objects which describe various properties of a view, such as its position and size. The {@link CollectionView} is then responsible for creating the actual views as needed, based on this layout information.

Every layout extends from the {@link Layout} abstract base class. Layouts must implement a minimum of the two methods listed below. All other methods can be optionally overridden to implement custom behavior.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`virtualizer`	`Virtualizer<T, any, any>`	The CollectionView the layout is currently attached to.

Methods

Method	Description
`shouldInvalidate( (newRect: Rect, , oldRect: Rect )): boolean`	Returns whether the layout should invalidate in response to visible rectangle changes. By default, it only invalidates when the collection view's size changes. Return true always to make the layout invalidate while scrolling (e.g. sticky headers).
`validate( (invalidationContext: InvalidationContext<T, any> )): void`	This method allows the layout to perform any pre-computation it needs to in order to prepare {@link LayoutInfo}s for retrieval. Called by the collection view before {@link getVisibleLayoutInfos} or {@link getLayoutInfo} are called.
`getVisibleLayoutInfos( (rect: Rect )): LayoutInfo[]`	Returns an array of {@link LayoutInfo} objects which are inside the given rectangle. Should be implemented by subclasses.
`getLayoutInfo( (key: Key )): LayoutInfo`	Returns a {@link LayoutInfo} for the given key. Should be implemented by subclasses.
`getContentSize(): Size`	Returns size of the content. By default, it returns collectionView's size.
`getInitialLayoutInfo( (layoutInfo: LayoutInfo )): LayoutInfo`	Returns a {@link DragTarget} describing a view at the given point to be dragged. Return `null` to cancel the drag. The default implementation returns the view at the given point.
`getFinalLayoutInfo( (layoutInfo: LayoutInfo )): LayoutInfo`	Returns the ending attributes for an animated removal. The view is animated from the {@link LayoutInfo} returned by {@link getLayoutInfo} to the one returned by this method. The default implementation returns its input.
