A React table component designed to allow presenting thousands of rows of data.

Fixed Data Tables for React

FixedDataTable is a React component for building and presenting data in a flexible, powerful way. It supports standard table features, like headers, columns, rows, header groupings, and both fixed-position and scrolling columns.

The table was designed to handle thousands of rows of data without sacrificing performance. Scrolling smoothly is a first-class goal of FixedDataTable and it's architected in a way to allow for flexibility and extensibility.

Features of FixedDataTable:

• Fixed headers and footer
• Both fixed and scrollable columns
• Handling huge amounts of data
• Variable row heights (with adaptive scroll positions)
• Column resizing
• Performant scrolling
• Customizable styling
• Jumping to a row or column
• Controlled scroll API allows touch support

Things the FixedDataTable doesn't do:

• FixedDataTable does not provide a layout reflow mechanism or calculate content layout information such as width and height of the cell contents. The developer has to provide the layout information to the table instead.
• FixedDataTable does not handle sorting of data. Instead it allows the developer to supply data getters that can be sort-, filter-, or tail-loading-aware.
• FixedDataTable does not fetch the data (see above)

Getting started

Install fixed-data-table using npm.

npm install fixed-data-table

Add the default stylesheet dist/fixed-data-table.css, then import it into any module.

Basic Example

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Table, Column, Cell} from 'fixed-data-table';

// Table data as a list of array.
const rows = [
  ['a1', 'b1', 'c1'],
  ['a2', 'b2', 'c2'],
  ['a3', 'b3', 'c3'],
  // .... and more
];

// Render your table
ReactDOM.render(
  <Table
    rowHeight={50}
    rowsCount={rows.length}
    width={5000}
    height={5000}
    headerHeight={50}>
    <Column
      header={<Cell>Col 1</Cell>}
      cell={<Cell>Column 1 static content</Cell>}
      width={2000}
    />
    <Column
      header={<Cell>Col 2</Cell>}
      cell={<MyCustomCell mySpecialProp="column2" />}
      width={1000}
    />
    <Column
      header={<Cell>Col 3</Cell>}
      cell={({rowIndex, ...props}) => (
        <Cell {...props}>
          Data for column 3: {rows[rowIndex][2]}
        </Cell>
      )}
      width={2000}
    />
  </Table>,
  document.getElementById('example')
);
