Installation
Let us create a React app using the following command.
$ npx create-react-app myreactapp Next, we need to install react-table. We can install react-table via npm command, which is given below.
$ npm install react-table Once, we have installed react-table, we need to import the react-table into the react component. To do this, open the src/App.js file and add the following snippet.
import ReactTable from "react-table"; Let us assume we have data which needs to be rendered using react-table.
const data = [{
name: 'Ayaan',
age: 26
},{
name: 'Ahana',
age: 22
},{
name: 'Peter',
age: 40
},{
name: 'Virat',
age: 30
},{
name: 'Rohit',
age: 32
},{
name: 'Dhoni',
age: 37
}] Along with data, we also need to specify the column info with column attributes.
const columns = [{
Header: 'Name',
accessor: 'name'
},{
Header: 'Age',
accessor: 'age'
}]
Inside the render method, we need to bind this data with react-table and then returns the react-table.return (
<div>
<ReactTable
data={data}
columns={columns}
defaultPageSize = {2}
pageSizeOptions = {[2,4, 6]}
/>
</div>
) Now, our src/App.js file looks like as below.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactTable from "react-table";
import "react-table/react-table.css";
class App extends Component {
render() {
const data = [{
name: 'Ayaan',
age: 26
},{
name: 'Ahana',
age: 22
},{
name: 'Peter',
age: 40
},{
name: 'Virat',
age: 30
},{
name: 'Rohit',
age: 32
},{
name: 'Dhoni',
age: 37
}]
const columns = [{
Header: 'Name',
accessor: 'name'
},{
Header: 'Age',
accessor: 'age'
}]
return (
<div>
<ReactTable
data={data}
columns={columns}
defaultPageSize = {2}
pageSizeOptions = {[2,4, 6]}
/>
</div>
)
}
}
export default App; Output
When we execute the React app, we will get the output as below.
Now, change the rows dropdown menu, we will get the output as below.
