useTable

In basic usage, useTable returns the data as it comes from the endpoint. By default, it reads resource from the URL.

import { IResourceComponentsProps, HttpError } from "@pankod/refine-core";

import { List, Table, TagField, useTable } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>();

    return (
        <List>
            <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
                <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="status"
                    title="Status"
                    render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
                />
            </Table>
        </List>
    );
};

This feature comes out of the box with the tableProps.pagination. It generates the pagination links for the <Table> component instead of react state and overrides <Table>'s pagination.itemRender value. It also syncs the pagination state with the URL.

It also syncs the pagination state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

If you want to make a change in the pagination of the <Table>. You should pass the pagination object of the tableProps to the pagination property of the <Table> as below. You can override the values of the pagination object as your need.

const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>();

<Table
  {...tableProps}
  rowKey="id"
  pagination={{
    ...tableProps.pagination,
    position: ["bottomCenter"],
    size: "small",
  }}
>
  // ---
</Table>;

If we want to give a column the sorting property, the corresponding <Table.Column> component must be given the sorter property.

It also syncs the sorting state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

import { IResourceComponentsProps, HttpError } from "@pankod/refine-core";

import {
    List,
    Table,
    TagField,
    useTable,
    getDefaultSortOrder,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";

interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
    const { tableProps, sorter } = useTable<IPost>({
        initialSorter: [
            {
                field: "id",
                order: "desc",
            },
        ],
    });

    return (
        <List>
            <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="id"
                    title="ID"
                    sorter={{ multiple: 2 }}
                    defaultSortOrder={getDefaultSortOrder("id", sorter)}
                />
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="title"
                    title="Title"
                    sorter={{ multiple: 1 }}
                    defaultSortOrder={getDefaultSortOrder("title", sorter)}
                />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="status"
                    title="Status"
                    render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
                />
            </Table>
        </List>
    );
};

We can use the filterDropdown property from <Table.Column> to make filtering based on the column values. In order to do this, we need to put the filtering form inside the <FilterDropdown> component and pass the properties coming to the function to these component's properties.

It also syncs the filtering state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

import { IResourceComponentsProps, HttpError } from "@pankod/refine-core";

import {
    List,
    Table,
    TagField,
    useTable,
    FilterDropdown,
    Radio,
    Input,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";

interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>();

    return (
        <List>
            <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
                <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="status"
                    title="Status"
                    render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
                    filterDropdown={(props) => (
                        <FilterDropdown {...props}>
                            <Radio.Group>
                                <Radio value="published">Published</Radio>
                                <Radio value="draft">Draft</Radio>
                                <Radio value="rejected">Rejected</Radio>
                            </Radio.Group>
                        </FilterDropdown>
                    )}
                />
            </Table>
        </List>
    );
};

We can use onSearch and searchFormProps properties to make custom filter form. onSearch is a function that is called when the form is submitted. searchFormProps is a property that is passed to the <Form> component.

import { IResourceComponentsProps, HttpError } from "@pankod/refine-core";

import {
    List,
    Table,
    TagField,
    useTable,
    Form,
    SaveButton,
    Input,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";

interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

interface ISearch {
    title: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
    const { tableProps, searchFormProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError, ISearch>(
        {
            onSearch: (values) => {
                return [
                    {
                        field: "title",
                        operator: "contains",
                        value: values.title,
                    },
                ];
            },
        },
    );

    return (
        <List>
            <Form {...searchFormProps} layout="inline">
                <Form.Item name="title">
                    <Input placeholder="Search by title" />
                </Form.Item>
                <SaveButton onClick={searchFormProps.form?.submit} />
            </Form>
            <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
                <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
                <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
                <Table.Column
                    dataIndex="status"
                    title="Status"
                    render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
                />
            </Table>
        </List>
    );
};

This feature is only available if you use a Live Provider.

When the useTable hook is mounted, it will call the subscribe method from the liveProvider with some parameters such as channel, resource etc. It is useful when you want to subscribe to live updates.

Refer to the liveProvider documentation for more information →

Default: It reads the resource value from the current URL.

It will be passed to the getList method from the dataProvider as parameter via the useList hook. The parameter is usually used as an API endpoint path. It all depends on how to handle the resource in the getList method. See the creating a data provider section for an example of how resources are handled.

useTable({
  resource: "categories",
});

When searchFormProps.onFinish is called, the onSearch function is called with the values of the form. The onSearch function should return CrudFilters | Promise<CrudFilters>. Also, onSearch will set the current page to 1.

It's useful when you want to filter the data with any query.

const { searchFormProps, tableProps } = useTable({
  onSearch: (values) => {
    return [
      {
        field: "title",
        operator: "contains",
        value: values.title,
      },
    ];
  },
});

// --
<List>
  <Form {...searchFormProps}>
    <Space>
      <Form.Item name="title">
        <Input placeholder="Search by title" />
      </Form.Item>
      <SaveButton onClick={searchFormProps.form?.submit} />
    </Space>
  </Form>
  <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
    <Table.Column title="Title" dataIndex="title" />
  </Table>
</List>;
// ---

If there is more than one dataProvider, you should use the dataProviderName that you will use. It is useful when you want to use a different dataProvider for a specific resource.

useTable({
  dataProviderName: "second-data-provider",
});

Default: 1

Sets the initial value of the page index.

useTable({
  initialCurrent: 2, // This will cause the table to initially display the data for page 2, rather than the default of page 1
});

Default: 10

Sets the initial value of the page size.

useTable({
  initialPageSize: 20, // This will cause the table to initially display 20 rows per page, rather than the default of 10
});

Sets the initial value of the sorter. The initialSorter is not permanent. It will be cleared when the user changes the sorter. If you want to set a permanent value, use the permanentSorter prop.

useTable({
  initialSorter: [
    {
      field: "title",
      order: "asc",
    },
  ],
});

Sets the permanent value of the sorter. The permanentSorter is permanent and unchangeable. It will not be cleared when the user changes the sorter. If you want to set a temporary value, use the initialSorter prop.

useTable({
  permanentSorter: [
    {
      field: "title",
      order: "asc",
    },
  ],
});

Sets the initial value of the filter. The initialFilter is not permanent. It will be cleared when the user changes the filter. If you want to set a permanent value, use the permanentFilter prop.

useTable({
  initialFilter: [
    {
      field: "title",
      operator: "contains",
      value: "Foo",
    },
  ],
});

Sets the permanent value of the filter. The permanentFilter is permanent and unchangeable. It will not be cleared when the user changes the filter. If you want to set a temporary value, use the initialFilter prop.

useTable({
  permanentFilter: [
    {
      field: "title",
      operator: "contains",
      value: "Foo",
    },
  ],
});

Default: merge

The filtering behavior can be set to either "merge" or "replace".

• When the filter behavior is set to "merge", it will merge the new filter with the existing filters. This means that if the new filter has the same column as an existing filter, the new filter will replace the existing filter for that column. If the new filter has a different column than the existing filters, it will be added to the existing filters.

• When the filter behavior is set to "replace", it will replace all existing filters with the new filter. This means that any existing filters will be removed and only the new filter will be applied to the table.

You can also override the default value by using the second parameter of the setFilters function.

useTable({
  defaultSetFilterBehavior: "replace",
});

Default: true

Determines whether to use server-side pagination or not.

useTable({
  hasPagination: false,
});

Default: false

When you use the syncWithLocation feature, the useTable's state (e.g. sort order, filters, pagination) is automatically encoded in the query parameters of the URL, and when the URL changes, the useTable state is automatically updated to match. This makes it easy to share table state across different routes or pages, and to allow users to bookmark or share links to specific table views.

Also, you can set this value globally on <Refine> component.

useTable({
  syncWithLocation: true,
});

useTable uses useList hook to fetch data. You can pass queryOptions.

useTable({
  queryOptions: {
    retry: 3,
  },
});

metaData is used following two purposes:

• To pass additional information to data provider methods.
• Generate GraphQL queries using plain JavaScript Objects (JSON). Please refer GraphQL for more information.

In the following example, we pass the headers property in the metaData object to the create method. With similar logic, you can pass any properties to specifically handle the data provider methods.

useTable({
  metaData: {
    headers: { "x-meta-data": "true" },
  },
});

const myDataProvider = {
  //...
  getList: async ({
    resource,
    pagination,
    hasPagination,
    sort,
    filters,
    metaData,
  }) => {
    const headers = metaData?.headers ?? {};
    const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}`;

    //...
    //...

    const { data, headers } = await httpClient.get(`${url}`, { headers });

    return {
      data,
    };
  },
  //...
};

NotificationProvider is required for this prop to work.

After data is fetched successfully, useTable can call open function from NotificationProvider to show a success notification. With this prop, you can customize the success notification.

useTable({
  successNotification: (data, values, resource) => {
    return {
      message: `${data.title} Successfully fetched.`,
      description: "Success with no errors",
      type: "success",
    };
  },
});

NotificationProvider is required for this prop to work.

After data fetching is failed, useTable will call open function from NotificationProvider to show an error notification. With this prop, you can customize the error notification.

useTable({
  errorNotification: (data, values, resource) => {
    return {
      message: `Something went wrong when getting ${data.id}`,
      description: "Error",
      type: "error",
    };
  },
});

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

Determines whether to update data automatically ("auto") or not ("manual") if a related live event is received. It can be used to update and show data in Realtime throughout your app. For more information about live mode, please check Live / Realtime page.

useTable({
  liveMode: "auto",
});

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

The callback function is executed when new events from a subscription have arrived.

useTable({
  onLiveEvent: (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  },
});

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

Params to pass to liveProvider's subscribe method.

The props needed by the <Table> component.

The callback function is executed when a user interacts(filter, sort, etc.) with the table.

🚨 useTable handles sorting, filtering, and pagination with this function. If you override this function, you need to handle these operations manually.

const { tableProps } = useTable()

<Table {...tableProps} onChange={tableProps.onChange} rowKey="id">
    <Table.Column title="Title" dataIndex="title" />
</Table>

Contains the data to be displayed in the table. Values fetched with useList hook.

Indicates whether the data is being fetched.

Returns pagination configuration values(pageSize, current, position, etc.).

Default: { x: true }

Whether the table can be scrollable.

It returns <Form> instance of Ant Design. When searchFormProps.onFinish is called, it will trigger onSearch function. You can also use searchFormProps.form.submit to submit the form manually.

It's useful when you want to create a filter form for your <Table>.

import { IResourceComponentsProps, HttpError } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import {
  List,
  Table,
  useTable,
  Form,
  SaveButton,
  Input,

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  title: string;
}

interface ISearch {
  title: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
  const { searchFormProps, tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError, ISearch>({
    onSearch: (values) => {
      return [
        {
          field: "title",
          operator: "contains",
          value: values.title,
        },
      ];
    },
  });

  return (
    <List>
      <Form {...searchFormProps} layout="inline">
        <Form.Item name="title">
          <Input placeholder="Search by title" />

        <SaveButton onClick={searchFormProps.form?.submit} />
      </Form>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column title="Title" dataIndex="title" />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

Returned values from useList hook.
