React Responsive Table

React Responsive Table - Bootstrap 4 & Material Design

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by adding property responsive. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using responsive{Sm|Md|Lg|Xl}.

Vertical clipping/truncation

Responsive tables make use of overflow-y: hidden, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.


Always responsive

Across every breakpoint, use prop responsive for horizontally scrolling tables.

Breakpoint specific

Use responsive{Sm|Md|Lg|Xl} as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.

Bootstrap table column width

Use one of the following properties to manipulate the width of the columns.

Table columns with auto width

Add prop autoWidth to the MDBTable element to set an auto width to the table column.

The width of the columns will automatically adjust to the content of the column. That means it will always take a minimum width required to present its content.

React Tables - API

This section present detailed information about Tables usage, properties and customization. Dive into API references to find see all available props and methods.


Imports

To start working with Basic Tables you need to import three components.
Table, TableBody and TableHead extends native HTML tags with MDB's styles and functions.

        
            
          import React from 'react';
          import { MDBTable, MDBTableBody, MDBTableHead  } from 'mdbreact';
        
        
    

Usage

Our Tables provide to ways to be used in your project.
Basicly build table structure like in normal HTML, or construct object with your data and bind it as a property.

        
            
          const BasicTable = (props) => {
            return (
              <MDBTable>

                    <th>#</th>
                    <th>First</th>
                    <th>Last</th>
                    <th>Handle</th>
                  </tr>
                </MDBTableHead>

API Reference: Data object structure

You can use object as source of data for your tables, but you have to remember about proper structure.
Columns must consist of at least 2 properties label and field.
label is displayed inside TableHeader, field is used inside components logic.
Rows are not that important, but you have to remember that key has to correspond to the columns field.
