I’ve been utilizing Tanstack Table in my latest project and have been seeing great results. The documentation can be a little lacking and there’s definitely trial and error with getting it just right but it’s very powerful.

After using Tanstack for a while I've just created my own table component. When you think about it, once you deal with the main issues: Pagination, Search, Column sort, Row count selection and Data export you have a pretty reusable tool you can copy over to multiple projects.

As someone who's been shipping Tanstack Table for a while now, it's great that Shad was able to get this new styled DataGrid out.

Useful component. Quick, precise and too valuable presentation! I've been finding really interesting tips from your videos. Thanks for all these shadings 👏

Each news on this library is just mind-blowing

I swear this is the 10th time now I've laughed out loud at one of your videos because of the irony. I started using shadui a few weeks ago, then saw your videos on it. Yesterday I started using his new data table, then saw this video. Same a few months ago with T3 related stuff, trpc, etc. I love how you read my mind and deliver videos at the perfect time ; ).

Awesome to see coverage on TanStack Table. There are now many implentations and examples for how to use it now. Glad Tailwind is finally getting showcased with it. I have made MUI and Mantine implementations if curious, but they are not quite as modular as this one.

Would love a more detailed video on this ? Maybe a small case project on shadcn. Love your content, always on the point ❤ and value.

Hi Josh, what about server side pagination? Because you rarely want to fetch all users from the DB.

Nice! This is so similar to Ag Grid. I guess that makes sense since Tanstack and Ag Grid are partners now

I just loved how you addressed the main two problems forms and tables. Then how presented the whole video. Keep up the good work❤

Just came across ur channel randomly on my feed. As a software developer who works on lots of react projects, I find ur videos really helpful. 👍🏿👍🏿

Been wanting to change all my tables with Tanstack Tables. Thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for, and I asked this same question on the day you posted the video!

The tanstack react table docs are hot garbage

I love you for explaing these components - gave me such a headache in the past.. I'd also love it if you did a few example projects - such as multiTennant Keep it up!

bro, your videos are so helpful, ty

Great video! I'll definitely be trying this

Awesome thanks I was just about to go headlong into MUIX Data grid.. not anymore! I was planning to use Formik so sounds like I need to play around with the form solution you mentioned.

It's AMAZING, i am using it for my current project, especially for the table, everything important is there, except 1, making the rows draggable has been a headache, still haven't figured it out.

The hardest part of Tanstack table is the server side pagination

This library was a life saver, saw this video at the right time. I was just about to use Material UI for my dashboard, after seeing this. I am changing my mind.

Hello, I did not know this bookstore. It seems to have good performance, but I would like to know if you have the option to enable data editing by cells and copy/paste?

ideally the URL should be changing when you go prev / next page so you can deeplink to it!

That line My grandmother could do it made me subscribe. I love how you explained it.

How would you implement this library using trpc and infinite scroll?

I'm really liking what I see from this lib. Will consider it for smaller projects in the future to really see what caveats it has.

Extremely useful! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Can the search, pagination, sorting etc. be done server side? In case on initial load not all data is loaded.

Could you implement something like column freezing. I feel like that's only supported by the more advanced tables.

some more features i would like to have: column pivoting, column resize by dragging, column order switch by drag and drop, multiple headers… can we do that? aniway seems pretty neat

Sad the React ecosystem doesn’t have an easy component library. MUI is a bloated mess and tables are still a struggle. Mantine is my current library of choice but scary with only a single maintainer. Quasar for Vuejs is the best thing I’ve ever used, columns and paginations are as simple as modifying props on a one line q-table component!

This is amazing! thank you brother!!! :D

It is pretty much easy with ExtJS , and less complex and highly customisable

I prefer building my custom component library you can make it as you want and add anything you prefer like animation and so on

I immediately added to my project 🎉❤ love the tanstack table

In one an hour if watching your videos I discovered a lot, thank you Sir

I’m using same library for current project only issue I’m having is rendering components like autocomplete, calendar, text field in cell which takes time to load when add more rows

I know this is an example, but please cache the formatter outside the cell render function >.

if you want to make headers fixed, footer for totals also fixed for month summary and grand total. which library should you use?

What about complicated json structure where some fields can be empty and subcolumns....

This looks like the Datatable plugin from Jquery!

I found antd has way more potentials, not just for table but also for a lot of other components, i wish we will hear up/down side of antd from you.

Hello there! Thanks for this video, very helpful. Might give it a try. I use Antd currently, it's pretty good. Documentation isn't great though. Also, when you mentioned the grandma line, I found it funny because you made a rookie mistake! (or not so rookie, I see it happening to seniors), anyway if you don't have any arguments you can run the function like this: doSomething, instead of like this: () => doSomething() Thanks again and have a nice day!

i couldn’t integrate this ui library with my existing t3 app but im thinking to build my portfolio with it

Please can you do a video how we can upload files from NextJs 13.4 to cloudflare R2 ??

My current problem is I am using NextUI and I need a table where I can directly edit the cells and create nested rows. So row entries that have a relationship to a parent column and are collapsable. MUI only provides it in the Pro plan. Maybe I can build this upon the shadcnui code

Looks cool. Now I want to build a project that needs tables 😆 Maybe my own Notion 🤔

In one of your other video of nextjs course(where you created a ui for api path) you mentioned mui tables are so good but you didn't mention this point of large client side code of mui tables.

I tried using shadcn with nextjs as POC and i got a problem, maybe you'll be able to help me with. I added a table with columns visibility and the checkboxes items in the column visibility dropdown are showing the id of the column. The thing is i want to show some label or something so ill be able to use it in different languages and not only english as the id of the cell is always english in my projects..

Can you please make a video teaching use this react-table (typescript)?

I have used this table with Tanstack Table, how do I make filter in each of the columns (for example filter by gender or by goal)? thanks

Hey bro, how are you doing? I listened to you and downloaded the data table but I have a problem. I need to put drop-down selects in one of the columns, to select the user, but I don't know how to do it, I see it as almost impossible. Can? And how would it be? thank you

I want have an onclick as well as hover events on table cell. How can I do it?

how to make it lazyloading? shadcn example is not perfomant in terms of calling api.

So the pagination is done on client side? Can this work for serverside pagination?. Server side pagination mean i only fetch data of the page im currently in?. Thanks

Looks alot like the AntD api for tables from back in the day but more simplified.

With this component is it possible to perform queries on the server side to do paging?

It’ll work until there’s thousands of records. Why on earth we want client side pagination? It doesn’t make any sense. I tried using this with server side but docs were non existent.

Please do an example of custom pagination, to have for example 15 rows per page instead of the default 10 please!

Is it possible to make server pagination, server sort, server filtering?

does this library works with jsx ?? I tried but init failed coz my root folder doesnt contain tsx.config file

do you know nextui also a great ui package which will be soon also be compatible with next 13.4

Pleass how do i deal with multiple selects or bulk actions

How to make table head fixed? Thank you

I move from react hook form to mantine form. And I never want to go back.

Do these tables support virtualization for large datasets?

Thanks for sharing this new addition, data tables are such a pain in the ass!

im using this lib but i have no style when using ssr , any idea why ?

How to give relational header and subHeader or nested headers?

is this better than Material React Table that built with Mui table and tanstack table?

Does it support lazy loading? It would be nice if I can fetch the first 50 table rows, then next 50 rows is loaded only when Next Page is clicked. The search bar will fetch the search results from server side rather than client data?

Were you able to try other features here like virtualization and infinite scrolling?

Can we do date range filter using this?

I never want to create tables in any way

How about infinite scroll in this one? This is one of big problems in Table libraries.

What if I want to add a delete and edit button?

I'm trying to build a table with no paginatiom but that is intense in the render. I have to resort to List but building a table with that is being a hell. Any ideas?

It's also worthy to look into the accesssorFn provided in the columnsDef which makes filtering by column possible when using formated data in the cells I have two defaultFunctions for handling the rendering and the formatting const renderCellValue = (key: string, value: string | number) => { if (key === 'modifiedAt' && value !== null && isValidDate(new Date(value))) { return {value} } return value } const defaultAccessorFn = (key: string, value: AccessorFunctionValue) => { const dateColumns = ['archiveDate', 'createdAt', 'endDate', 'startDate'] if (value === undefined || value === null) return '---' const valueAsDate = new Date(value as string) if (key === 'modifiedAt') return `${format(valueAsDate, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')}` if (dateColumns.includes(key)) return `${format(valueAsDate, 'yyyy-MM-dd')}` return value } and then my getTableColumns function to be able to provide some custom columns export function getTableColumns( tableColumns: Partial, data: DataType[], ) { return useMemo(() => { const customColumns: [string, TableColumnLayout][] = Object.entries(tableColumns) const dataColumnsKeys = Object.keys(data[0] ?? []) if (customColumns.length > 0) { return customColumns.map(([key, column]) => { const renderFunction = (value: string | number, original: DataType) => { if (column.render) return column.render(value, original) return renderCellValue(key, value) } const accessorFn = (value: string | number) => column.accessorFn ? column.accessorFn(value) : defaultAccessorFn(key, value) return { accessorFn: (originalRow) => accessorFn(originalRow[key]), accessorKey: key, filterFn: 'fuzzy', cell: ({ getValue, row: { original } }) => renderFunction(getValue(), original), header: column.title ?? key, listData: column.listData, size: column.width, } }) } // Return full object if custom columns layout not specified return dataColumnsKeys.map((key) => ({ header: key, accessorKey: key, cell: ({ getValue }) => renderCellValue(key, getValue()), })) }, [data, tableColumns]) }

In what way is this less bloated than MuiX DataGrid? Seems to be exactly the same to me?

can you do a tutorial with tremor react and advanced filtering in nextjs 14+?

Josh, any suggestions if I want to use realtime data for the table? I mean can I still use table component inside server side component, wdyt?

How do we truncate a specific cells in shadcn datatable?

Hey josh, could please make a tutorial on best way to create reusable component for both component library and non component library. Thankyou

How to paginate and sort async data?

Ant Design Procomponent's table are pretty good try too

The library is without documentation. If you want to make sorting, searching, and filtering on the server, this library can be a problem.

I have a Name column in which I have name and email, Can anybody tell me how to make search by name and email?

i feel like this lib is also a bit bloated. It needs tailwind css to work. I have a project that uses bootstrap so adding tailwind css just to use this lib is kinda weird IMHO

how to make the table editable?

Theres no serverside search/pagination and others?

Shadcn Ui is awesome, your videos are great, perfect match

When fetching columns and data from a database this becomes a nightmare. I just dont understand...

Ohh, I love material-react-table.

in responsive it breaks the screen, generates a horizontal scroll on the x axis

cool microphone

can't be used with jsx?

Similar to table Ant design

wait till you find out that uber's baseweb design has not 1, not 2 but 3 table components with all the bells and whistles :D

Can I do additional styling with tailwind?
