ReactJS DataTable Component

The DataTable component for ReactJS represents a lightweight Table widget built to easily replace your HTML Tables.

Prerequisites

Refer to ReactJS Getting Started before you start with this help topic.

Configuration

The DataTable component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxDataTable from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxdatatable.js';
 

Then we create our component class. Properties and methods are put as ReactJS props.

  
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxDataTable 
            source={dataAdapter} sortable={true} 
            pageable={true} columns={columns}
        />
    )
  }
}
 

Finally we render our class in the desired HTML element:

 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
 

Events Methods & Properties

In order to bind to any event, change any property or call any method, we need a reference to the component.
For that we use the ReactJS "ref" Callback Attribute:

 
<JqxDataTable ref='myDataTable' source={dataAdapter} columns={columns}..... />
 

Now, when we have a reference, we need to call the desired event/property/method.
This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

 
class App extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount()
  {
     //your logic
  }
  render ()
  {
    return
    (
      ....
    )
  }
};
 

Events

The sort event is triggered when the DataTable sort order or sort column is changed.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener:

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.
