The shadcn/ui adapter for AdaptTable — a fully-styled React data table in one import, with sorting, filtering, URL-synced state, selection + bulk actions, column management, RTL, and dark mode. It's a thin wrapper over @adapttable/unstyled that applies the shadcn class preset for you, built on the headless @adapttable/core engine.

pnpm add @adapttable/shadcn @adapttable/core react react-dom

Requires shadcn/ui set up in your app (its CSS variables + Tailwind config) — this adapter only references shadcn's design tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, border-border, bg-primary, …).

The preset ships utility classes in this package, so let Tailwind scan it or they won't compile. In Tailwind v4, add it as a source in your CSS:

@source "../node_modules/@adapttable/shadcn/dist/**/*.js";

Quickstart

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

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<Person>({ data, columns });
  return <DataTable source={source} columns={columns} rowKey={(r) => r.id} />;
}

That's it — a styled shadcn table, no class wiring. Swap useFrontendData for useQuerySource to drive it from a server-paginated query; the component doesn't change.

Features

• Automatic mobile cards — below the mobile breakpoint every row renders as a shadcn-styled 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 Sheet or Popover of filters plus removable Badge chips, with a filter count on the trigger.
• Selection + bulk actions using shadcn 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 via your Tailwind dark: class strategy.
• Customisation — the components are copied into your project — edit them directly, plus slots, className, injectable confirm, and the full headless escape hatch via @adapttable/core.

Customizing

Restyle any part by passing your own classNames — they're merged over the preset, per part, so you only override what you name:

<DataTable
  source={source}
  columns={columns}
  rowKey={(r) => r.id}
  classNames={{ root: "rounded-2xl border-2 border-primary" }} // only the root changes
/>

Need the raw class map (e.g. to spread into your own @adapttable/unstyled table)? It's exported:

import { shadcnClassNames } from "@adapttable/shadcn";

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
