Building tables in React: Get started with react-table
Displaying data in tables is a lasting requirement of user interfaces. React Table is described as an “almost headless” table library for React. It focuses on giving you all the data aspects in a convenient format and leaves the styling and componentizing to you. This approach makes it easy to build powerful data grids and style them as needed. In this article, we'll use the react-table library to build a table with styling, filtering, sorting, and paging.
What is react-table?
The most recent version of the react-table library is part of TanStack, a larger project that provides components in a framework-agnostic way. Accordingly, react-table can drive table components for several frameworks: React, Solid, Vue, Svelte and applications built using TypeScript or JavaScript. Our examples focus on building a table in React.
