table

Headless Clojure(Script) UI for building tables, heavily inspired by TanStack Table v8.

Usage

dev.kwill/table {:mvn/version "0.1.20"}

See examples/examples/reagent.cljs for an example of how to use the library with Reagent.

API

table

Returns a Table that contains the necessary information to render a table UI element.

column-unique-values

Returns information about unique data in the table. Useful for displaying lists of filterable values.

column-filtered?

Returns true if the column is currently filtered.

Model

Table

• columns: Seq of, potentially nested, Columns.
• flat-columns: Seq of leaf Columns.
• header-groups: Seq of Header Groups
• rows: Seq of Rows that are presented to the user (i.e., includes pagination if applicable)
• rows-visible: Seq of all Rows the user could see (i.e., unfiltered).
• rows-raw: Seq of all Rows without any features enabled.

Column

A column represents one or more columns rendered in the table. Columns with children (nesting) get grouped together under the parent. A column without children is a leaf. Column data is either user controlled (i.e., the user passed in the data) or computed (i.e., the library enriches the data). Any additional, user controlled keys can be added to the column map. To remove potential for conflict, it is recommended to use qualified keywords.

User controlled

• header: String or (fn [header-group]) => Renderable to display the header UI. If non-string, an :id is required to uniquely identifier the header.
• accessor: Function of an input data to the value used to render the Cell.
• cell: Optional value that can be used to render the cell. If unset, defaults to the value returned from calling accessor.
• id: Optional value to uniquely identify this column. The value must be unique across all columns. If unset, a default id is computed the column :header if it's a string, else the :accessor if it's a string or keyword, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
• columns: Optional seq of Columns. Nested columns imply multiple header rows.

Computed

• visible?: true if the column is currently visible, else false.
• column-leaves: Optional seq of Columns, present when the column has children.
• sortable?: True if the column can be sorted. Only leaf columns are sortable.
• filterable?: True if column filtering is enabled and if the column can be sorted (i.e., is a leaf).
• sort-direction: Optional enum set to either :asc or :desc when the column is sorted, else unset or nil.

Row

• cells-visible: Seq of Cells visible to the user. A cell may not be visible due to column filtering.
• cells-raw: Seq of unfiltered Cells.
• id: A unique identifier for the table row.
• data: The data input map used to create the row.
• visible?: True if the row is visible to the user. For example, the row has not been filtered out.
• column-id->cell. Lookup map keyed by the Column id to the Cell.

Cell

An individual cell within the table.

• id: A unique identifier for the table cell.
• data: The data input map used to create the row.
• cell: Either the value passed in the Column or the value returned from calling accessor.
• get-value: No arg function returning the value returned from calling accessor.
• column: The Column the cell belongs to.

Header Group

Represents a row of header cells.

• headers: Seq of Headers.

Header

Represents a single header cell. Builds upon the data present in a Column.

• colSpan: Number of columns a cell should span. Typically passed directly to the colspan HTML property.
• placeholder?: True when the header represents an "invisible" column created to align nested columns. These header columns (e.g., th) should be rendered, but no content should be present.

Renderable

An object that the code rendering the UI can use to display the component (e.g., for Reagent, this might be a hiccup vector or simply a string).

Future work

• Server side pagination
• Footer
• Rearrange columns
• Resize columns
