Prerequisites

This package uses Tailwind CSS for styling. Ensure you have Tailwind CSS installed and configured in your Next.js project. If you haven't set it up yet, follow the official Tailwind CSS Next.js Installation Guide.

Note: If you prefer not to use Tailwind CSS or want to apply your own styling, you can opt-out of the default styles provided by this package. See the Opting Out of Default Styles section for details.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install nextjs-reusable-table

Or via yarn:

yarn add nextjs-reusable-table

Usage

Import the TableComponent into your Next.js page or component:

import React from "react";
import { TableComponent } from "nextjs-reusable-table";
import "nextjs-reusable-table/dist/index.css"; // Import default styles

Pass the required props to the TableComponent:

<TableComponent
  columns={columns}
  data={data}
  props={props}
  actions={true}
  actionTexts={["Edit", "Delete"]}
  actionFunctions={[handleEdit, handleDelete]}
  loading={false}
  searchValue=""
/>

Basic Example

"use client";
import React from "react";
import { TableComponent } from "nextjs-reusable-table";
import "nextjs-reusable-table/dist/index.css"; // Import default styles

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: string;
}

const data: User[] = [
  { id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "john@example.com", role: "Admin" },
  // ... more data
];

const columns = ["Name", "Email", "Role"];
const props = ["name", "email", "role"] as const;

const MyTablePage: React.FC = () => {
  const handleEdit = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Edit", item);
  };

  const handleDelete = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Delete", item);
  };

  return (
    <TableComponent<User>
      columns={columns}
      data={data}
      props={props}
      actions={true}
      actionTexts={["Edit", "Delete"]}
      actionFunctions={[handleEdit, handleDelete]}
      loading={false}
      searchValue=""
    />
  );
};

export default MyTablePage;

Opting Out of Default Styles

If you prefer to use your own styling or are not using Tailwind CSS in your project, you can opt-out of the default styles provided by the package. Here's how:

• Do Not Import the Default CSS

// import "nextjs-reusable-table/dist/index.css"; // Do not import this

• Set disableDefaultStyles to true

  Pass the disableDefaultStyles prop to the TableComponent:

<TableComponent
  // ... your props
  disableDefaultStyles={true}
  customClassNames={{
    container: "my-custom-container",
    table: "my-custom-table",
    th: "my-custom-th",
    // ... other custom classes
  }}
/>

• Provide Custom Class Names (Optional)

  If you want to apply your own styles, you can pass custom class names via the customClassNames prop. This allows you to fully customize the appearance of the table.

"use client";
import React from "react";
import { TableComponent } from "nextjs-reusable-table";
// Do not import the default CSS
import "./my-custom-styles.css"; // Your custom styles

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: string;
}

const data: User[] = [
  { id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "john@example.com", role: "Admin" },
  // ... more data
];

const columns = ["Name", "Email", "Role"];
const props = ["name", "email", "role"] as const;

const MyTablePage: React.FC = () => {
  const handleEdit = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Edit", item);
  };

  const handleDelete = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Delete", item);
  };

  return (
    <TableComponent<User>
      columns={columns}
      data={data}
      props={props}
      actions={true}
      actionTexts={["Edit", "Delete"]}
      actionFunctions={[handleEdit, handleDelete]}
      loading={false}
      searchValue=""
      disableDefaultStyles={true}
      customClassNames={{
        container: "my-custom-container",
        table: "my-custom-table",
        th: "my-custom-th",
        tr: "my-custom-tr",
        td: "my-custom-td",
        actionTd: "my-custom-action-td",
        actionButton: "my-custom-action-button",
        actionSvg: "my-custom-action-svg",
        dropdownMenu: "my-custom-dropdown-menu",
        dropdownItem: "my-custom-dropdown-item",
      }}
    />
  );
};

export default MyTablePage;

• Use Custom Rows

  If you want to customize the appearance of the table rows, you can pass a custom renderRow function to the TableComponent. This allows you to fully control the rendering of each row.

"use client";
import React from "react";
import { TableComponent } from "nextjs-reusable-table";
import "nextjs-reusable-table/dist/index.css"; // Import default styles

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  role: string;
  status: string;
}

const data: User[] = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "John Doe",
    email: "john@example.com",
    role: "Admin",
    status: "Active",
  },
  // ... more data
];

const columns = ["Name", "Email", "Role", "Status"];

const MyTablePage: React.FC = () => {
  const handleEdit = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Edit", item);
  };

  const handleDelete = (item: User) => {
    console.log("Delete", item);
  };

  const renderCustomRow = (item: User, index: number) => {
    return (
      <>
        <td className="px-6 py-4 whitespace-nowrap text-sm text-gray-700">
          {item.name}
        </td>
        <td className="px-6 py-4 whitespace-nowrap text-sm text-gray-700">
          <a
            href={`mailto:${item.email}`}
            className="text-blue-500 hover:underline"
          >
            {item.email}
          </a>
        </td>
        <td className="px-6 py-4 whitespace-nowrap text-sm text-gray-700">
          {item.role}
        </td>
        <td className="px-6 py-4 whitespace-nowrap text-sm">
          <span
            className={`px-2 inline-flex text-xs leading-5 font-semibold rounded-full ${
              item.status === "Active"
                ? "bg-green-100 text-green-800"
                : "bg-red-100 text-red-800"
            }`}
          >
            {item.status}
          </span>
        </td>
      </>
    );
  };

  return (
    <TableComponent<User>
      columns={columns}
      data={data}
      props={["name", "email", "role", "status"] as const}
      loading={false}
      renderRow={renderCustomRow}
    />
  );
};

export default MyTablePage;
