useEditableTable
useEditeableTable allows you to implement edit feature on the table with ease, on top of all the features that useTable provides.
useEditableTable return properties that can be used on Ant Desing's <Table> and <Form> components.
Editing with buttons
Let's say that we want to make the Post data where we show the id and title values a listing page:
This time, to add the edit feature, we have to cover the <Table> component with a <Form>component and pass the properties coming from useEditableTable to the corresponding components:
import {
List,
Table,
useEditableTable,
Form,
TextField,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps, formProps } = useEditableTable<IPost>();
return (
<List>
<Form {...formProps}>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
</Table>
</Form>
</List>
);
};
interface IPost {
id: number;
title: string;
}
Now lets add a column for edit buttons:
import {
List,
Table,
Form,
Space,
Button,
SaveButton,
EditButton,
useEditableTable,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const {
tableProps,
formProps,
isEditing,
saveButtonProps,
cancelButtonProps,
editButtonProps,
} = useEditableTable<IPost>();
return (
<List>
<Form {...formProps}>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column key="id" dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column key="title" dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
<Table.Column<IPost>
title="Actions"
dataIndex="actions"
key="actions"
render={(_text, record) => {
if (isEditing(record.id)) {
return (
<Space>
<SaveButton
{...saveButtonProps}
size="small"
/>
<Button
{...cancelButtonProps}
size="small"
>
Cancel
</Button>
</Space>
);
}
return (
<Space>
<EditButton
{...editButtonProps(record.id)}
size="small"
/>
</Space>
);
}}
/>
</Table>
</Form>
</List>
);
};
isEditing function that returns from useEditableTable lets us check whether a line is currently in edit mode or not.
For now, our post is not editable yet. If a post is being edited, we must show editable columns inside a <Form.Item> using conditional rendering:
import {
List,
Table,
Form,
Space,
Button,
SaveButton,
EditButton,
Input,
TextField,
useEditableTable,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const {
tableProps,
formProps,
isEditing,
saveButtonProps,
cancelButtonProps,
editButtonProps,
} = useEditableTable<IPost>();
return (
<List>
<Form {...formProps}>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column key="id" dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column<IPost>
key="title"
dataIndex="title"
title="Title"
render={(value, record) => {
if (isEditing(record.id)) {
return (
<Form.Item
name="title"
style={{ margin: 0 }}
>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
);
}
return <TextField value={value} />;
}}
/>
<Table.Column<IPost>
title="Actions"
dataIndex="actions"
key="actions"
render={(_text, record) => {
if (isEditing(record.id)) {
return (
<Space>
<SaveButton
{...saveButtonProps}
size="small"
/>
<Button
{...cancelButtonProps}
size="small"
>
Cancel
</Button>
</Space>
);
}
return (
<Space>
<EditButton
{...editButtonProps(record.id)}
size="small"
/>
</Space>
);
}}
/>
</Table>
</Form>
</List>
);
};
With this, when a user clicks on the edit button, isEditing(lineId) will turn true for the relevant line. This will also cause <TextInput> to show up on the line thats being edited. When the editing is finished, new value can be saved by clicking <SaveButton>.
By giving the <Table.Column> component a unique render property, you can render the value in that column however you want.
Refer to <Table.Column> documentation for more information.

Editing by clicking to row
A line with the id value can be put to edit mode programatically by using the setId function that returns from useEditableTable.
The onRow property of the <Table> component can be used to put a line to editing mode when its clicked on. Function given to the onRow property is called everytime one of these lines are clicked on, with the information of which line was clicked on.
We can use setId to put a line to edit mode whenever its clicked on.
import {
List,
Table,
Form,
Input,
TextField,
useEditableTable,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps, formProps, isEditing, setId } =
useEditableTable<IPost>();
return (
<List>
<Form {...formProps}>
<Table
{...tableProps}
key="id"
onRow={(record) => ({
onClick: (event: any) => {
if (event.target.nodeName === "TD") {
setId && setId(record.id);
}
},
})}
>
<Table.Column key="id" dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column<IPost>
key="title"
dataIndex="title"
title="Title"
render={(value, data: any) => {
if (isEditing(data.id)) {
return (
<Form.Item
name="title"
style={{ margin: 0 }}
>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
);
}
return <TextField value={value} />;
}}
/>
</Table>
</Form>
</List>
);
};
