Accessibility

Follows the WAI-ARIA Table Pattern.All Table components require an accessible name describing the data represented within. This must be provided using the label prop.

Table structure

A Table is made up of three sections: TableHeader, TableBody (required) and TableFooter, each section containing one or more TableRow components. Each row is made of up of TableCell or TableHeaderCell components representing each column of the data.

Column headers

A TableHeader can be provided containing a TableRow of TableHeaderCell components to provide the relevant semantics, column labelling and styling.

Row headers

Row-level headers are supported by providing a TableHeaderCell within a TableRow of the TableBody section.

A table may also combine both column headers and row headers.

Column widths

By default, a TableCell and TableHeaderCell have a width of auto, sizing based on the column’s longest content and distributing any additional space automatically.A cell can be made as small as possible by setting its width to content — recommended for status and actions columns.Alternatively, the distribution of excess space can be weighted by providing a percentage value to the width prop — useful for increasing the focus on priority columns.

“content”

Additionally, limits can be provided to column widths via the minWidth and maxWidth props, which accept a number (in pixels).The minWidth prop can be used to prevent a column from becoming too small. This is useful for maintaining hierachy when there is less available space, i.e. smaller screen sizes.The maxWidth prop is useful for constraining columns with long data, ensuring content is truncated when it exceeds the specified width. As a convenience when setting a maxWidth, all Text components in the column will default maxLines to a single line.

Wrapping

By default, all TableCell and TableHeaderCell components are prevented from wrapping their content. This keep rows a consistent height and means the content can influence the column width.If desired, wrapping can be enabled by setting the wrap prop to true on a per-cell basis.

Column visibility

Columns can be hidden responsively using the hideBelow and/or hideAbove prop, by specifying the name of the breakpoint, e.g. hideBelow=“tablet”, on the column header.Consider the three column table below, applying hideBelow=“tablet” to the second column header. Three columns will be shown from the tablet breakpoint upwards, and the second column will be hidden on mobile.

Column spanning

Both TableCell and TableHeaderCell can span across multiple columns by providing the number of columns via the colspan prop.
