Topic: How could I go about implementing accordion-style child components in datatables?

Herzmann priority asked 1 year ago


As title says, I am trying to implement accordion-style collapsible child components that will appear when clicking a dropdown button on each row. A use case for example would be if the Datatable contained people with Name and LastName properties, and I would be able to click the dropdown button to either see more information regarding the person that wouldn't normally fit on the row, or see a form to change the name and last name of the person. Any ideas?

Bump, answer is not what I'm looking for.

unfortunately datatable does not provide such an option. We are working on a more advanced version where this option will probably appear, but I can't say when it will be released.

As a table row, you can pass custom HTML that will contain what you need. Look at this example:

const data = {
    columns: [
      { label: 'Name', field: 'name', sort: true },
      { label: 'Position', field: 'position', sort: false },
      { label: 'Office', field: 'office', sort: false },
      { label: 'Age', field: 'age', sort: false },
      { label: 'Start date', field: 'date', sort: true },
      { label: 'Salary', field: 'salary', sort: false },
    ],
    rows: [
      {
        name: (
          <>
            <MDBAccordion>
              <MDBAccordionItem collapseId={1} headerTitle='Tiger'>
                Nixon
              </MDBAccordionItem>
            </MDBAccordion>
          </>
        ),
        position: 'System Architect',
        office: 'Edinburgh',
        age: 61,
        date: '2011/04/25',
        salary: '$320,800',
      },
    ],
  };

Hi, apologies for the late response - this isn't quite what I'm looking for. https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20200603222758/expand1Output.gif This would be a good example of what I need.
