Content#

TableView is a complex collection component that is built up from many child elements including columns, rows, and cells. Columns are defined within a TableHeader element and rows are defined within a TableBody element. Rows contain Cell elements that correspond to each column. Cells can contain any element, allowing you to have focusable children within the TableView.

Basic usage of TableView, seen in the example above, shows the use of a static collection where the contents of the TableView is hard coded. Dynamic collections, as shown below, can be used when the options come from an external data source such as an API, or update over time. Providing the data in this way allows TableView to automatically cache the rendering of each item, which dramatically improves performance.

Columns and rows can be statically defined as children, or generated dynamically using a function based on the data passed to the columns or items prop respectively. Cells can also be statically defined as children, or generated dynamically based on the columns defined in the TableHeader.

Each column and row has a unique key defined by the data. In the example below, the uid property of the column object is used as the key for the Column element within the TableHeader. The key of each row element is implicitly defined by the id property of the row object. See collections to learn more keys in dynamic collections.

let columns = [
  {name: 'Name', uid: 'name'},
  {name: 'Type', uid: 'type'},
  {name: 'Date Modified', uid: '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'}
];

Layout#

TableViews are often contained within a page layout that defines the size of the table. For example, a page might have a header or toolbar with a TableView below that fills the remaining vertical space. TableView is designed to scroll internally while the column headers remain fixed. Because of this, TableViews should not be placed within a scrollable container.

The example below shows how to use a Flex component to achieve the layout described above. Note the TableView uses the flex prop to fill the remainder of the available space.

<Flex height="size-5000" width="100%" direction="column" gap="size-150">
  <ActionButton alignSelf="start">Add</ActionButton>
  <TableView
    flex
    aria-label="Example table with dynamic content"
  >
    <TableHeader columns={columns}>
      {(column) => (
        <Column
          key={column.id}
        >
          {column.name}
        </Column>
      )}
    </TableHeader>
    <TableBody items={rows}>
      {(item) => (
        <Row>
          {(columnKey) => <Cell>{item[columnKey]}</Cell>}
        </Row>
      )}
    </TableBody>
  </TableView>
</Flex>

      )}

              ]}

Internationalization#

To internationalize a TableView, all text content within the TableView should be localized. This includes the aria-label provided to the TableView if any. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of TableView is automatically flipped.

Labeling#

Accessibility#

An aria-label must be provided to the TableView for accessibility. If the TableView is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

By default, the first column of the TableView is used as the row header and is announced by assistive technology when navigating through the rows. You can override this behavior by providing the isRowHeader prop to one or more Columns, allowing you to customize which columns should label the rows of the TableView.

The example below applies isRowHeader to the "First Name" and "Last Name" columns so that each row is announced with the person's full name (e.g. "John Doe").

<TableView aria-label="Example table with static contents">
  <TableHeader>
    <Column isRowHeader>First Name</Column>
    <Column isRowHeader>Last Name</Column>
    <Column align="end">Age</Column>
  </TableHeader>
  <TableBody>
    <Row>
      <Cell>John</Cell>
      <Cell>Doe</Cell>
      <Cell>45</Cell>
    </Row>
    <Row>
      <Cell>Jane</Cell>
      <Cell>Doe</Cell>
      <Cell>37</Cell>
    </Row>
    <Row>
      <Cell>Joe</Cell>
      <Cell>Schmoe</Cell>
      <Cell>67</Cell>

Asynchronous loading#

TableView supports loading data asynchronously, and will display a progress circle reflecting the current load state, set by the loadingState prop. It also supports infinite scrolling to load more data on demand as the user scrolls, via the onLoadMore prop.

This example uses the useAsyncList hook to handle loading the data. See the docs for more information.

import {useAsyncList} from 'react-stately';

function AsyncTable() {
  let columns = [
    { name: 'Name', key: 'name' },
    { name: 'Height', key: 'height' },
    { name: 'Mass', key: 'mass' },
    { name: 'Birth Year', key: 'birth_year' }
  ];

  let list = useAsyncList({
    async load({ signal, cursor }) {
      if (cursor) {
        cursor = cursor.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://');
      }

      let res = await fetch(
        cursor || `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=`,
        { signal }
      );
      let json = await res.json();

      return {
        items: json.results,
        cursor: json.next
      };
    }
  });

  return (
    <TableView aria-label="example async loading table" height="size-3000">
      <TableHeader columns={columns}>
        {(column) => (
          <Column align={column.key !== 'name' ? 'end' : 'start'}>
            {column.name}

      </TableBody>
    </TableView>

Selection#

By default, TableView 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 multiple selection mode, and uses defaultSelectedKeys to select the rows with keys "2" and "4".

<TableView
  aria-label="Example table with multiple selection"
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={['2', '4']}
>
  <TableHeader>
    <Column>Name</Column>
    <Column>Type</Column>
    <Column align="end">Level</Column>

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.

Here is how you would control selection for the above example.

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]));

  return (
    <TableView
      aria-label="Table with controlled selection"
      selectionMode="multiple"
      selectedKeys={selectedKeys}
      onSelectionChange={setSelectedKeys}
      {...props}
    >
      <TableHeader columns={columns}>
        {(column) => (
          <Column
            key={column.uid}
            align={column.uid === 'level' ? 'end' : 'start'}
          >
            {column.name}
          </Column>
        )}
      </TableHeader>
      <TableBody items={rows}>

          </Row>
        )}
      </TableBody>
    </TableView>
  );
}

Single selection#

To limit users to selecting only a single item at a time, selectionMode can be set to single.

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable selectionMode="single" />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable selectionMode="single" />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable selectionMode="single" />

Disallow empty selection#

TableView also supports a disallowEmptySelection prop which forces the user to have at least one row in the TableView 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 same table as above
<PokemonTable disallowEmptySelection />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable disallowEmptySelection />

// Using the same table as above
<PokemonTable
  disallowEmptySelection
/>

Disabled rows#

You can disable specific rows by providing an array of keys to TableView via the disabledKeys prop. This will prevent rows from being selectable as shown in the example below.

// 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]}
/>

Highlight selection#

By default, TableView uses the checkbox selection style, which includes a checkbox in each row for selection. When the selectionStyle prop is set to "highlight", the checkboxes are hidden, and the selected rows are displayed with a highlighted background instead.

In addition to changing the appearance, the selection behavior also changes depending on the selectionStyle prop. In the default checkbox selection style, 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.

In the highlight selection style, however, 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. On touch screen devices, selection always behaves as toggle since modifier keys may not be available.

These selection styles implement the behaviors defined in Aria Practices.

<PokemonTable selectionMode="multiple" selectionStyle="highlight" />

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionStyle="highlight"
/>

<PokemonTable
  selectionMode="multiple"
  selectionStyle="highlight"
/>

Row actions#

TableView supports row actions via the onAction prop, which is useful for functionality such as navigation. When nothing is selected, the TableView performs actions by default when clicking or tapping a row. Items may be selected using the checkbox, or by long pressing on touch devices. When at least one item is selected, the TableView is in selection mode, and clicking or tapping a row toggles the selection. Actions may also be triggered via the Enter key, and selection using the Space key.

This behavior is slightly different in the highlight selection style, where single clicking selects the row and actions are performed via double click. Touch and keyboard behaviors are unaffected.

    onAction={(key) =>
      alert(

      )}
  />
</Flex>

Sorting#

TableView 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 TableView 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 {useCollator} from 'react-aria';

function AsyncSortTable() {
  let collator = useCollator({ numeric: true });

  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 = collator.compare(first, second);
          if (sortDescriptor.direction === 'descending') {
            cmp *= -1;
          }
          return cmp;
        })
      };
    }
  });

Hide header#

Individual column headers can be hidden by providing the hideHeader prop to the Column. A tooltip is rendered when the column header is focused to compensate for the lack of a visual title. Note that the hideHeader prop is specifically intended for columns that contain ActionButtons instead of text content.

function TableExample(props) {
  let columns = [
    { name: 'First Name', key: 'firstName' },

Nested columns#

TableView supports nesting columns, allowing you to create column groups, or "tiered" column headers. Data for the leaf columns appears in each row of the table body.

Nested columns can also be defined dynamically using the function syntax and the childColumns prop. The following example is the same as the example above, but defined dynamically.

let columns = [
  {name: 'Name', key: 'name', children: [
    {name: 'First Name', key: 'first', isRowHeader: true},
    {name: 'Last Name', key: 'last', isRowHeader: true}
  ]},
  {name: 'Information', key: 'info', children: [
    {name: 'Age', key: 'age'},
    {name: 'Birthday', key: 'birthday'}
  ]}
];

let rows = [
  {id: 1, first: 'Sam', last: 'Smith', age: 36, birthday: 'May 3'},
  {id: 2, first: 'Julia', last: 'Jones', age: 24, birthday: 'February 10'},
  {id: 3, first: 'Peter', last: 'Parker', age: 28, birthday: 'September 7'},
