Migrating from MUI X DataGrid? See the migration guide.

The Material UI adapter for AdaptTable — a batteries-included MUI data table with sorting, filtering, URL-synced state, selection + bulk actions, RTL, and dark mode. A free, headless alternative to MUI X DataGrid built on @adapttable/core.

pnpm add @adapttable/mui @adapttable/core @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled react react-dom

Quickstart

import { DataTable, useFrontendData, type ColumnDef } from "@adapttable/mui";

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

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

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

Wrap your app in MUI's ThemeProvider to control light/dark mode and RTL, as usual. Swap useFrontendData for useQuerySource to drive the table from a server-paginated query — the component doesn't change.

Features

• Automatic mobile cards — below the mobile breakpoint every row renders as a MUI 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 TableSortLabel headers.
• Filtering — a Drawer or Popover of filters plus removable Chips, with a filter count on the trigger.
• Selection + bulk actions using MUI 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 — Pagination footer, or infinite scroll (auto by device).
• States — Skeleton loading, Alert error with retry, and an empty state.
• RTL via dir; dark mode follows the MUI theme.
• Customisation — slots (skeleton, empty), className, size, injectable confirm, 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
