Table

A table is a specific pattern for comparing datasets in a very direct and analytical way.

versionNPM Version
useimport {Body, Cell, Head, Row, Table} from '@clayui/core';

Don’t forget to check WAI-ARIA accessibility pratices for tables when writting your markup.

show-quick-actions-on-hover will need Javascript to add class table-focus on the table row when an item inside is focused to make it keyboard accessible.

A table is styled like a list. The active state can be invoked by adding class table-active to the <tr></tr> element.

Responsiveness

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a .table with .table-responsive. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}.

Always Responsive

Across every breakpoint, use .table-responsive for horizontally scrolling tables.

<div className="table-responsive">
	<table className="table">
		...
	</table>
</div>
#HeadingHeadingHeadingHeadingHeadingHeadingHeadingHeadingHeading
1CellCellCellCellCellCellCellCellCell
2CellCellCellCellCellCellCellCellCell

Breakpoints

Use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.

Helpers

Autofit

table-autofit constrains table columns to be only as wide as its content, but must be used with table-cell-expand. table-cell-expand will fill the remaining space.

Alignment

You can align table items either vertically or horizontally following the rules below.

Vertical

We have added some classes to help vertically align contents inside a table. The classes table-valign-bottom, table-valign-middle, and table-valign-top on <table> will vertically align table cell contents on the bottom, middle, and top, respectively.

The classes thead-valign-bottom, thead-valign-middle, and thead-valign-top on <table> will vertically align the contents inside the table head.

The classes tbody-valign-bottom, tbody-valign-middle, and tbody-valign-top on <table> will vertically align the contents inside the table body.

Horizontal

We have added some classes to help horizontally align contents inside a table column. The classes table-column-text-start, table-column-text-center, and table-column-text-end will align text left, center, and right respectively.

Cell Utilities

Use table-cell-expand-small, table-cell-expand-smaller, table-cell-expand-smallest with table-cell-expand to size columns smaller relative to the widest column.

We have added table-cell-minw-50, table-cell-minw-75, table-cell-minw-100, table-cell-minw-150, table-cell-minw-200, table-cell-minw-250, table-cell-minw-300, table-cell-minw-350, table-cell-minw-400 to set min-width 50px, 75px, 100px, 150px, 200px, 250px, 300px, 350px, 400px on a specific table column, respectively.

The helpers table-cell-ws-normal and table-cell-ws-nowrap sets white-space to normal or nowrap on a specific table column, respectively.

Image

table-img is a helper that sets the max-height to 100px on an image inside a table. Depending on your use case, you may need to use it with the autofit-row pattern.
