How to use React Bootstrap Table component#

The <CTable> component with Bootstrap theming lets you build responsive and accessible React tables using CoreUI components. Define structure manually or use the columns and items API for easier table generation.

In version 4.3.0 we introduced a new way to create a table, similarly to our Smart Table component.

const columns = [
  {
    key: 'id',
    label: '#',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'class',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_1',
    label: 'Heading',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_2',
    label: 'Heading',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
]
const items = [
  {
    id: 1,
    class: 'Mark',
    heading_1: 'Otto',
    heading_2: '@mdo',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' } },
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    class: 'Jacob',
    heading_1: 'Thornton',
    heading_2: '@fat',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' } },
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    class: 'Larry the Bird',
    heading_2: '@twitter',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' }, class: { colSpan: 2 } },
  },
]
return <CTable columns={columns} items={items} />

You can also put all table components together manually as hitherto.

<CTable>
  <CTableHead>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">#</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Class</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Heading</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Heading</CTableHeaderCell>
    </CTableRow>
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="row">1</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Mark</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Otto</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>@mdo</CTableDataCell>
    </CTableRow>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="row">2</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Jacob</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Thornton</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>@fat</CTableDataCell>
    </CTableRow>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="row">3</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableDataCell colSpan={2}>Larry the Bird</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>@twitter</CTableDataCell>
    </CTableRow>
  </CTableBody>
</CTable>

Both methods produce the same html code.

Since version 4.3.0 also this way.

const columns = [
  { key: 'class', _props: { scope: 'col' } },
  { key: 'heading_1', label: 'Heading', _props: { scope: 'col' } },
  { key: 'heading_2', label: 'Heading', _props: { scope: 'col' } },
]
const items = [
  {
    class: 'Default',
    heading_1: 'Cell',
    heading_2: 'Cell',
    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },
  },
  {
    class: 'Primary',
    heading_1: 'Cell',
    heading_2: 'Cell',
    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },
    _props: { color: 'primary' },

  {
    class: 'Secondary',
    heading_1: 'Cell',
    heading_2: 'Cell',
    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },

    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },
    _props: { color: 'warning' },
  },
  {
    class: 'Info',
    heading_1: 'Cell',
    heading_2: 'Cell',
    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },
    _props: { color: 'info' },
  },
  {
    class: 'Light',
    heading_1: 'Cell',
    heading_2: 'Cell',

    _cellProps: { class: { scope: 'row' } },
    _props: { color: 'dark' },
  },
]
return <CTable columns={columns} items={items} />

Accented tables#

Striped rows#

Use striped property to add zebra-striping to any react table row within the <CTableBody>.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable striped>
  ...
</CTable>

Striped columns#

Enable striped to alternate row background colors for better visual distinction.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable stripedColumns>
  ...
</CTable>

These classes can also be added to react table variants:

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="dark" striped>
  ...
</CTable>

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="dark" stripedColumns>
  ...
</CTable>

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="success" striped>
  ...
</CTable>

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="success" stripedColumns>
  ...
</CTable>

Hoverable rows#

Use the hover prop to highlight rows when hovered by the user.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable hover>
  ...
</CTable>

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="dark" hover>
  ...
</CTable>

These hoverable rows can also be combined with the striped variant:

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable striped hover>
  ...
</CTable>

Active tables#

Highlight a table row or cell by adding a active property.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

As mentioned before since version 4.3.0 we have two ways to generate tables, also with custom properties for rows, and cells.

const columns = [
  {
    key: 'id',
    label: '#',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'class',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_1',
    label: 'Heading',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_2',
    label: 'Heading',
    _props: { scope: 'col' },
  },
]
const items = [
  {
    id: 1,
    class: 'Mark',
    heading_1: 'Otto',
    heading_2: '@mdo',
    _props: { active: true },
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' } },
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    class: 'Jacob',
    heading_1: 'Thornton',
    heading_2: '@fat',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' } },
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    class: 'Larry the Bird',
    heading_2: '@twitter',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' }, class: { active: true, colSpan: 2 } },
  },
]
return <CTable columns={columns} items={items} />

<CTable>
  <CTableHead>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">#</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Class</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Heading</CTableHeaderCell>
      <CTableHeaderCell scope="col">Heading</CTableHeaderCell>

    class: 'Larry the Bird',
    heading_2: '@twitter',
    _cellProps: { id: { scope: 'row' }, class: { active: true, colSpan: 2 } },
  },
]
return <CTable color="dark" columns={columns} items={items} />

Table borders#

Bordered tables#

Add bordered property for borders on all sides of the table and cells.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable bordered>
  ...
</CTable>

Border color utilities can be added to change colors:

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable bordered borderColor="primary">
  ...
</CTable>

Tables without borders#

Add borderless property for a react table without borders.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable borderless>
  ...
</CTable>

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable color="dark" borderless>
  ...
</CTable>

Small tables#

Add small property to make any <CTable> more compact by cutting all cell padding in half.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable small>
  ...
</CTable>

Vertical alignment#

Table cells of <CTableHead> are always vertical aligned to the bottom. Table cells in <CTableBody> inherit their alignment from <CTable> and are aligned to the the top by default. Use the align property to re-align where needed.

Heading 1	Heading 2	Heading 3	Heading 4
This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.
This cell inherits `vertical-align: bottom;` from the table row	This cell inherits `vertical-align: bottom;` from the table row	This cell inherits `vertical-align: bottom;` from the table row	This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.
This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell is aligned to the top.	This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.

In version 4.3.0 we introduced a new way to create a table, similarly to our Smart Table component.

const columns = [
  {
    key: 'heading_1',
    _props: { className: 'w-25', scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_2',
    _props: { className: 'w-25', scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_3',
    _props: { className: 'w-25', scope: 'col' },
  },
  {
    key: 'heading_4',
    _props: { className: 'w-25', scope: 'col' },
  },
]
const items = [
  {
    heading_1: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: middle;</code> from the table</>,
    heading_2: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: middle;</code> from the table</>,
    heading_3: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: middle;</code> from the table</>,
    heading_4: 'This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.',
  },
  {
    heading_1: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: bottom;</code> from the table row</>,
    heading_2: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: bottom;</code> from the table row</>,
    heading_3: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: bottom;</code> from the table row</>,
    heading_4: 'This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.',
    _props: { align: 'bottom' }
  },
  {
    heading_1: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: middle;</code> from the table</>,
    heading_2: <>This cell inherits <code>vertical-align: middle;</code> from the table</>,
    heading_3: 'This cell is aligned to the top.',
    heading_4: 'This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.',
      _cellProps: { heading_3: { align: 'top' }},
  },
]
return <CTable align="middle" columns={columns} items={items} />

You can also put all table components together manually as hitherto.

      <CTableDataCell>
        This here is some placeholder text, intended to take up quite a bit of vertical space, to
        demonstrate how the vertical alignment works in the preceding cells.

Anatomy#

Table head#

Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier prop color="light" or color="dark" to make <CTableHead>s appear light or dark gray.

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable>
  <CTableHead color="light">
    ...
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    ...
  </CTableBody>
</CTable>

If you generate a table using the new method incorporated in version 4.3.0, you have to use tableHeadProps property to pass properties to the table header component.

const columns = [...]
const items = [...]

return <CTable columns={columns} items={items} tableHeadProps={{ color: 'light' }} />

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable>
  <CTableHead color="dark">
    ...
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    ...
  </CTableBody>
</CTable>

Starting from version 4.3.0 also this way.

const columns = [...]
const items = [...]

return <CTable columns={columns} items={items} tableHeadProps={{ color: 'dark' }} />

Table foot#

#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter
Footer	Footer	Footer	Footer

<CTable>
  <CTableHead color="light">
    ...
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    ...
  <CTableHead>
    <CTableRow>
      <CTableDataCell>Footer</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Footer</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Footer</CTableDataCell>
      <CTableDataCell>Footer</CTableDataCell>
    </CTableRow>
  </CTableHead>
</CTable>

Starting from version 4.3.0 also this way.

const columns = [...]
const footer = [
  'Footer',
  'Footer',
  'Footer',
  'Footer',
]
const items = [...]

return <CTable columns={columns} footer={footer} items={items} tableHeadProps={{ color: 'light' }}/>

Captions#

A <CTableCaption> functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it's about and decide if they want to read it.

List of users
#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable>
  <CTableCaption>List of users</CTableCaption>
  <CTableHead>
    ...
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    ...
  </CTableBody>
</CTable>

Starting from version 4.3.0 also this way.

const columns = [...]
const items = [...]

return <CTable caption="List of users" columns={columns} items={items} />

You can also put the <CTableCaption> on the top of the table with caption="top".

List of users
#	Class	Heading	Heading
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

<CTable caption="top">
  <CTableCaption>List of users</CTableCaption>
  <CTableHead>
    ...
  </CTableHead>
  <CTableBody>
    ...
  </CTableBody>
</CTable>

Since version 4.3.0 also this way.

const columns = [...]
const items = [...]

return <CTable captionTop="List of users" columns={columns} items={items} />

Responsive tables#

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

#	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading
