The Base UI adapter for AdaptTable — a batteries-included Base UI data table with sorting, filtering, URL-synced state, selection + bulk actions, RTL, and dark mode. Built on the headless @adapttable/core engine. (Targets @base-ui/react ^1.6.)

pnpm add @adapttable/base-ui @adapttable/core @base-ui/react react react-dom

Import the adapter styles once in your app entry (or rely on the side-effect import from @adapttable/base-ui):

import "@adapttable/base-ui/styles.css";

Quickstart

import {
  DataTable,
  useFrontendData,
  type ColumnDef,
} from "@adapttable/base-ui";

interface Person {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

const columns: ColumnDef<Person>[] = [
  { key: "name", header: "Name", accessor: (r) => r.name, sortable: true },
  { key: "email", header: "Email", accessor: (r) => r.email },
];

export function PeopleTable({ data }: { data: Person[] }) {
  const source = useFrontendData({ data, columns });
  return <DataTable source={source} columns={columns} rowKey={(r) => r.id} />;
}

Behavior lives in @adapttable/core; this package only renders Base UI primitives (Popover, Drawer, Select, Checkbox, Tooltip, Button, Input) plus minimal chrome CSS.

Features

• Automatic mobile cards — below the mobile breakpoint every row renders as a card (same filters, search, selection and URL state) and infinite scroll replaces the pager; tune per column with mobileLabel / hideOnMobile, pin either layout with forceMobile. See it flip live.
• Client or server data through one TableSource contract — same props either way.
• URL-synced search / sort / filters / page — shareable, deep-linkable links.
• Sorting via sortable headers.
• Filtering — a Popover or Dialog of filters plus removable chips, with a filter count on the trigger.
• Selection + bulk actions using Base UI Checkboxes, with confirm dialogs (bulkActions).
• Row actions with optional confirm, isHidden / isDisabled per row.
• Row expansion — inline detail panels via renderRowDetail.
• Inline cell editing (onCellEdit + editable columns) — text, number and select editors; Enter commits, Escape cancels, Tab moves on. Omit the handler and no cell opens.
• Row grouping (groupBy) with per-group aggregates sharing the summaryRow mapper.
• Column management — show/hide, reorder, pin (sticky) and resize, from a built-in menu.
• Saved views — name a filter/sort/column arrangement and switch between them.
• CSV export (exportCsv) — current page or the full filtered set.
• Virtualization (virtualize) — opt-in row/card windowing for very large lists.
• Pagination — numbered pagination, or infinite scroll (auto by device).
• States — skeleton loading, error with retry, and an empty state.
• RTL via dir; dark mode follows your theme tokens.
• Customisation — slots, className, injectable confirm — Base UI ships unstyled, so every part is yours, and the full headless escape hatch via @adapttable/core.

See it work

Each clip is the real adapter, recorded on the live demo.

Row grouping — group rows by a column with per-group subtotals

Inline cell editing — double-click a cell; text, number and select editors

Filtering — type a bound and the table answers as you type

Column management — show, hide, reorder, pin and resize

RTL / Arabic — the whole table mirrors, not just the text
