Create a simple editable table with search and pagination in React JS in 2 min | React JS development

The tabular view with pagination is the best view to show data. If we need a listing of large data like posts, users, etc in the dashboard, then we can create a simple table view. But creating a custom table takes a long time. So here we are going to see how can we create a best practice table view in just 2 min.

Installing-

We are going to use a material-table package. We can install it by using NPM or yarn.

npm install material-table @material-ui/core
// or
yarn add material-table @material-ui/core

Optionally, you can also install material icons-

To install @material-ui/icons with npm:

npm install @material-ui/icons

To install @material-ui/icons with yarn:

yarn add @material-ui/icons

Configuration-

After installing it, we can directly import it into the respected component and need some required data.

It needs an array of columns-

const columns = [
  { title: 'First Name', field: 'firstName' },
  {
    title: 'Last Name',
    field: 'lastName',
    initialEditValue: 'initial value',
  },
  { title: 'Mobile Number', field: 'mobileNumber', type: 'numeric' },
  { title: 'Email', field: 'email', editable: 'never' },
]

Now, we need an array of data for for columns. Make sure field name should match in columns with keys of of object in data.

const data = [
  {
    firstName: 'Gyanendra',
    lastName: 'Knojiya',
    mobileNumber: 8802879231,
    email: 'gyanendrak064@gmail.com',
  },
  {
    firstName: 'Virat',
    lastName: 'Kohli',
    mobileNumber: 9876543210,
    email: 'virat@gmail.com',
  },
  {
    firstName: 'Rohit',
    lastName: 'Sherma',
    mobileNumber: 9984572157,
    email: 'rohit@gmail.com',
  },
]

Action Icons-

You can also add material icons. First we need to import all icons and after that we need to add icons ref for every action-

// import-

import AddBox from '@material-ui/icons/AddBox'
import ArrowDownward from '@material-ui/icons/ArrowDownward'
import Check from '@material-ui/icons/Check'
import ChevronLeft from '@material-ui/icons/ChevronLeft'
import ChevronRight from '@material-ui/icons/ChevronRight'
import Clear from '@material-ui/icons/Clear'
import DeleteOutline from '@material-ui/icons/DeleteOutline'
import Edit from '@material-ui/icons/Edit'
import FilterList from '@material-ui/icons/FilterList'
import FirstPage from '@material-ui/icons/FirstPage'
import LastPage from '@material-ui/icons/LastPage'
import Remove from '@material-ui/icons/Remove'
import SaveAlt from '@material-ui/icons/SaveAlt'
import Search from '@material-ui/icons/Search'
import ViewColumn from '@material-ui/icons/ViewColumn'

// Add-

const tableIcons = {
  Add: forwardRef((props, ref) => <AddBox {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Check: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Check {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Clear: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Clear {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Delete: forwardRef((props, ref) => <DeleteOutline {...props} ref={ref} />),
  DetailPanel: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronRight {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Edit: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Edit {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Export: forwardRef((props, ref) => <SaveAlt {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Filter: forwardRef((props, ref) => <FilterList {...props} ref={ref} />),
  FirstPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <FirstPage {...props} ref={ref} />),
  LastPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <LastPage {...props} ref={ref} />),
  NextPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronRight {...props} ref={ref} />),
  PreviousPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronLeft {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ResetSearch: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Clear {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Search: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Search {...props} ref={ref} />),
  SortArrow: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ArrowDownward {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ThirdStateCheck: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Remove {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ViewColumn: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ViewColumn {...props} ref={ref} />),
}

Creating table-

All done. Our table is ready. Not we can show data

import React, { useState, forwardRef } from 'react'
import MaterialTable from 'material-table'

import AddBox from '@material-ui/icons/AddBox'
import ArrowDownward from '@material-ui/icons/ArrowDownward'
import Check from '@material-ui/icons/Check'

import ChevronRight from '@material-ui/icons/ChevronRight'
import Clear from '@material-ui/icons/Clear'
import DeleteOutline from '@material-ui/icons/DeleteOutline'
import Edit from '@material-ui/icons/Edit'
import FilterList from '@material-ui/icons/FilterList'
import FirstPage from '@material-ui/icons/FirstPage'
import LastPage from '@material-ui/icons/LastPage'
import Remove from '@material-ui/icons/Remove'
import SaveAlt from '@material-ui/icons/SaveAlt'
import Search from '@material-ui/icons/Search'
import ViewColumn from '@material-ui/icons/ViewColumn'

const tableIcons = {
  Add: forwardRef((props, ref) => <AddBox {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Check: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Check {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Clear: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Clear {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Delete: forwardRef((props, ref) => <DeleteOutline {...props} ref={ref} />),
  DetailPanel: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronRight {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Edit: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Edit {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Export: forwardRef((props, ref) => <SaveAlt {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Filter: forwardRef((props, ref) => <FilterList {...props} ref={ref} />),
  FirstPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <FirstPage {...props} ref={ref} />),
  LastPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <LastPage {...props} ref={ref} />),
  NextPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronRight {...props} ref={ref} />),
  PreviousPage: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ChevronLeft {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ResetSearch: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Clear {...props} ref={ref} />),
  Search: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Search {...props} ref={ref} />),
  SortArrow: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ArrowDownward {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ThirdStateCheck: forwardRef((props, ref) => <Remove {...props} ref={ref} />),
  ViewColumn: forwardRef((props, ref) => <ViewColumn {...props} ref={ref} />),
}

const App = () => {
  const columns = [
    { title: 'First Name', field: 'firstName' },
    {
      title: 'Last Name',
      field: 'lastName',
      initialEditValue: 'initial value',
    },
    { title: 'Mobile Number', field: 'mobileNumber', type: 'numeric' },
    { title: 'Email', field: 'email', editable: 'never' },
  ]

  const [data, setData] = useState([
    {
      firstName: 'Gyanendra',
      lastName: 'Knojiya',
      mobileNumber: 8802879231,

  ])
