DATA-TABLE-BY-LORT

DESCRIPTION

A simple solution to create and organize an interactive data table. This package has been developed by me, Lort, during my training "App developer - JavaScript React" at OpenClassrooms. It's barely a react converted version of the well known jQuery plugin DataTables.

INSTALLATION

As it has been developed using React 18.0.2, it's recommended to use this version of React if you want to use it. In aim to installation, please use the following command into your terminal :

npm i data-table-by-lort

USING

In aim to use it, please insert this code into your react component :

import { DataTableWrapper } from "data-table-by-lort";

const MyComponent = () => {
  // ...your code here

  const columns = [
    { title: "Displayed title 1", valueName: "valueKey1" },
    { title: "Displayed title 2", valueName: "valueKey2" },
    { title: "Displayed title 3", valueName: "valueKey3" },
    // add as much columns as you need
  ];
  const data = [
    {
      id: "idnbr1",
      velueKey1: "my value",
      velueKey2: "my value",
      velueKey3: "my value",
    },
  ];

  return (
    <DataTableWrapper
      data={data} // required
      id="myId" // required
      columns={columns} // required
      customClassNames="employees-table-wrapper" // optional
      defaultDataLength="10" //optional
    />
  );
};

export default MyComponent;
