react-data-display

This is a work in progress, API will most likely change.

react-data-display is build upon fantastic react-virtualized library. We provide simple and clear abstraction layer for defining the data model and data presentation layer. You describe your data using DataField components, provide data to the DataDisplay component and use preferred view component (at this point TableView and ListView components are available).

Plans for the very near future:

• add support for nested <DataField> components ("subheaders")
• improve <ListView> implementation
• improve everything regarding width/height (fixed values and auto-sizing/filling the parent component sizes)
• add simple default styles
• add support for style customization
• implement support for custom label and content/"cell" components
• implement redux-connected version of the <DataDisplay>

Later improvements:

• make generic View component that TableView and ListView (and later possibly other) can inherit. Such component would contain common logic/utils, e.g. for processing <DataField> components

• improve build setup (esp. for npm publishing)

Notes

Build configuration is copied from the react-virtualized.

Basic Usage Example

import React from 'react';
import { DataDisplay, DataField, TableView, ListView } from 'react-data-display';

const data = [
    {id: 'id-1', name: 'name-1', test: 'test-1'},
    {id: 'id-2', name: 'name-2', test: 'test-2'},
    {id: 'id-3', name: 'name-3', test: 'test-3'},
    {id: 'id-4', name: 'name-4', test: 'test-4'},
    {id: 'id-5', name: 'name-5', test: 'test-5'},
    // more items
];

export class DataTableExample extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DataDisplay data={data} height={200}>
                <TableView fixedColumns={1}>
                    <DataField field="id" label="ID" width={100} />
                    <DataField field="name" label="NAME" width={150} />
                    <DataField field="test" label="TEST" width={250} />
                    <DataField field="test" label="TEST (again)" width={200} />
                </TableView>
            </DataDisplay>
        );
    }
}

export class DataListExample extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DataDisplay data={data} height={200}>
                <ListView>
                    <DataField field="id" label="ID" />
                    <DataField field="name" label="NAME" />
                    <DataField field="test" label="TEST" />
                    <DataField field="test" label="TEST (again)" />
                </ListView>
            </DataDisplay>
        );
    }
}
