to allow for data manipulation in other software. A well-designed table should accommodate for this.
Let's get started. Using proper semantic markup is a must so that users of screenreaders can navigate through the table one cell at a time, hearing column and row headers spoken to them. Lovely isn’t it. A cell or row may call attention to an error or a negative valueA cell or row may let a user know whether a value is good or badA definition table can have a full width header or footer, filling in the gap left by the first columnA table can also be small or largeA table header, row, or cell can adjust its vertical alignmentA cell or row can be active or selected by a userA table can specify its column count to divide its content evenlyA table can stripe alternate rows of content with a darker color to increase contrastA table can specify the width of individual columns independently.A table can specify how it stacks table content responsivelyA table can be formatted to display complex structured dataA table may allow a user to sort contents by clicking on a table header.A table may be divided each row into separate cellsA table may be formatted to emphasize a first column that defines a rows contentA table can reduce its complexity to increase readability.A table may sometimes need to be more compact to make more rows visible at a timeA table may sometimes need to be more padded for legibilitySupport for the continued development of Semantic UI comes directly from the community.We need your help to make Semantic available to people who speak your language.A table can have its rows appear selectableA cell can be collapsing so that it only uses as much space as requiredA table's colors can be invertedA table header, row, or cell can adjust its text alignmentA table can be given a color to distinguish it from other tables.A table can specify that its cell contents should remain on a single line, and not wrap.Our translation tools are easy to use and allow you to translate text without having to leave the site.A table can be collapsing, taking up only as much space as its rows. Table styles should meet WCAG 2 AA contrast guidelines (or even AAA depending on the level of compliance needed).With this pattern, any columns that don’t fit on screen are hidden.
It’s more suited to apps that focus on users consuming a stream of data rather than a list of data where more user control is needed.Users could be viewing our application on any device, so we need to ensure our table will be usable whether displayed on mobile, tablet or desktop.Common row actions should be grouped. Solutions should, of course, be tailored to your application and more importantly your users. A solution would be to truncate text at a length that’s useful enough to give the user an overview of the data and provide a method for viewing more, either by linking to another page, showing more content within a modal or by some other way (we’ll touch on this later).Allow the user to print only the table and not the surrounding UI. How many records have I viewed?). If it’s possible to perform these actions on multiple rows at the same time, then the action should be removed and added as an option elsewhere on the page (close to the table).
material-table. One of the plots updates when the user edits values or sorts columns in the table UI component at run time.
You could take this one step further by defining which columns should be given priority at different viewport widths ensuring critical columns are still visible on smaller screens.Modals allow the user to stay on the same page as the table but give greater focus to the additional information and any actions that may be performed.Depending on the situation, you may find that a modal might not be the ideal solution if you need to keep the data under the modal visible.
