MUI-Datatables is a responsive datatables component built on Material-UI. It comes with features like filtering, resizable columns, view/hide columns, draggable columns, search, export to CSV download, printing, selectable rows, expandable rows, pagination, and sorting. On top of the ability to customize styling on most views, there are three responsive modes "vertical", "standard", and "simple" for mobile/tablet devices.
Version 3 has been released! You can read about the updates here!

For a simple table:
import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";
const columns = ["Name", "Company", "City", "State"];
const data = [
["Joe James", "Test Corp", "Yonkers", "NY"],
["John Walsh", "Test Corp", "Hartford", "CT"],
["Bob Herm", "Test Corp", "Tampa", "FL"],
["James Houston", "Test Corp", "Dallas", "TX"],
];
const options = {
filterType: 'checkbox',
};
<MUIDataTable
title={"Employee List"}
data={data}
columns={columns}
options={options}
/>
Or customize columns:
import React from "react"
import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";
const columns = [
{
name: "name",
label: "Name",
options: {
filter: true,
sort: true,
}
},
{
name: "company",
label: "Company",
options: {
filter: true,
sort: false,
}
},
{
name: "city",
label: "City",
options: {
filter: true,
sort: false,
}
},
{
name: "state",
label: "State",
options: {
filter: true,
sort: false,
}
},
];
const data = [
{ name: "Joe James", company: "Test Corp", city: "Yonkers", state: "NY" },
{ name: "John Walsh", company: "Test Corp", city: "Hartford", state: "CT" },
{ name: "Bob Herm", company: "Test Corp", city: "Tampa", state: "FL" },
{ name: "James Houston", company: "Test Corp", city: "Dallas", state: "TX" },
];
const options = {
filterType: 'checkbox',
};
<MUIDataTable
title={"Employee List"}
data={data}
columns={columns}
options={options}
/>
The component accepts the following props:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
title |
array | Title used to caption table |
columns |
array | Columns used to describe table. Must be either an array of simple strings or objects describing a column |
data |
array | Data used to describe table. Must be either an array containing objects of key/value pairs with values that are strings or numbers, or arrays of strings or numbers (Ex: data: [{"Name": "Joe", "Job Title": "Plumber", "Age": 30}, {"Name": "Jane", "Job Title": "Electrician", "Age": 45}] or data: [["Joe", "Plumber", 30], ["Jane", "Electrician", 45]]). The customBodyRender and customBodyRenderLite options can be used to control the data display. |
options |
object | Options used to describe table |
components |
object | Custom components used to render the table |
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
caseSensitive |
boolean | false | Enable/disable case sensitivity for search. |
confirmFilters |
boolean | false | Works in conjunction with the customFilterDialogFooter option and makes it so filters have to be confirmed before being applied to the table. When this option is true, the customFilterDialogFooter callback will receive an applyFilters function which, when called, will apply the filters to the table. Example |
columnOrder |
array | An array of numbers (column indices) indicating the order the columns should be displayed in. Defaults to the order provided by the Columns prop. This option is useful if you'd like certain columns to swap positions (see draggableColumns option). | |
count |
number | User provided override for total number of rows. | |
customFilterDialogFooter |
function | Add a custom footer to the filter dialog. customFilterDialogFooter(curentFilterList: array, applyFilters: function) => React Component |

function | Override default row rendering with custom function. customRowRender(data, dataIndex, rowIndex) => React Component |
|
customSearch |
function | Override default search with custom function. customSearch(searchQuery: string, currentRow: array, columns: array) => boolean |
|
customSearchRender |
function | Render a custom table search. customSearchRender(searchText: string, handleSearch, hideSearch, options) => React Component |

Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
customBodyRender |
function | Function that returns a string or React component. Used to display data within all table cells of a given column. The value returned from this function will be used for filtering in the filter dialog. If this isn't need, you may want to consider customBodyRenderLite instead. function(value, tableMeta, updateValue) => string | React Component Example |
|
customBodyRenderLite |
function | Function that returns a string or React component. Used to display data within all table cells of a given column. This method performs better than customBodyRender but has the following caveats:
function(dataIndex, rowIndex) => string | React Component Example |
|
customHeadLabelRender |
function | Function that returns a string or React component. Used for creating a custom header to a column. This method only affects the display in the table's header, other areas of the table (such as the View Columns popover), will use the column's label. function(columnMeta : object) => string | React Component |
|
customFilterListOptions |
object | (These options only affect the filter chips that display after filters are selected. To modify the filters themselves, see filterOptions )
|
|
customHeadRender |
function | Function that returns a string or React component. Used as display for column header. function(columnMeta, handleToggleColumn, sortOrder) => string | React Component |
|
display |
boolean or string | true | Display column in table. Possible values:
See also: |
download |
boolean | true | Display column in CSV download file. |
draggable |
boolean | true | Determines if a column can be dragged. The draggableColumns.enabled option must also be true. |
empty |
boolean | false | This denotes whether the column has data or not (for use with intentionally empty columns). |
filter |
boolean | true | Display column in filter list. |
filterList |
array | Filter value list Example | |
filterOptions |
object | These options affect the filter display and functionality from the filter dialog. To modify the filter chips that display after selecting filters, see This option is an object of several options for customizing the filter display and how filtering works.
|
|
filterType |
string | 'dropdown' | Choice of filtering view. Takes priority over global filterType option.enum('checkbox', 'dropdown', 'multiselect', 'textField', 'custom') Use 'custom' if you are supplying your own rendering via filterOptions . |
hint |
string | Display hint icon with string as tooltip on hover. | |
print |
boolean | true | Display column when printing. |
searchable |
boolean | true | Exclude/include column from search results. |
setCellHeaderProps |
function | Is called for each header cell and allows you to return custom props for the header cell based on its data. function(columnMeta: object) => object Example |
|
setCellProps |
function | Is called for each cell and allows to you return custom props for this cell based on its data. function(cellValue: string, rowIndex: number, columnIndex: number) => object Example |
|
sort |
boolean | true | Enable/disable sorting on column. |
sortCompare |
function | Custom sort function for the column. Takes in an order string and returns a function that compares the two column values. If this method and options.customSort are both defined, this method will take precedence. (order) => ({data: val1}, {data: val2}) => number Example |
|
sortDescFirst |
boolean | false | Causes the first click on a column to sort by desc rather than asc. Example |
sortThirdClickReset |
boolean | false | Allows for a third click on a column header to undo any sorting on the column. Example |
viewColumns |
boolean | true | Allow user to toggle column visibility through 'View Column' list. |
customHeadRender
is called with these arguments:
function(columnMeta: {
customHeadRender: func,
display: enum('true', 'false', 'excluded'),
filter: boolean,
sort: boolean,
download: boolean,
empty: boolean,
index: number,
label: string,
name: string,
print: boolean,
searchable: boolean,
viewColumns: boolean
}, handleToggleColumn: function(columnIndex))
customBodyRender
is called with these arguments:
function(value: any, tableMeta: {
rowIndex: number,
columnIndex: number,
columnData: array, // Columns Options object
rowData: array, // Full row data
tableData: array, // Full table data - Please use currentTableData instead
currentTableData: array, // The current table data
tableState: {
announceText: null|string,
page: number,
rowsPerPage: number,
filterList: array,
selectedRows: {
data: array,
lookup: object,
},
showResponsive: boolean,
searchText: null|string,
},
}, updateValue: function)
The table lends itself to plug-ins in many areas, especially in the customRender functions. Many use cases for these render functions are common, so a set of plug-ins are available that you can use.
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
debounceSearchRender |
function | Function that returns a function for the customSearchRender method. This plug-in allows you to create a debounced search which can be useful for server-side tables and tables with large data sets. function(debounceWait) => function Example |
Using Material-UI theme overrides will allow you to customize styling to your liking. First, determine which component you would want to target and then lookup the override classname. Let's start with a simple example where we will change the background color of a body cell to be red:
import React from "react";
import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";
import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@mui/material/styles';
import { CacheProvider } from "@emotion/react";
import createCache from "@emotion/cache";
const muiCache = createCache({
"key": "mui",
"prepend": true
});
class BodyCellExample extends React.Component {
getMuiTheme = () => createTheme({
components: {
MUIDataTableBodyCell: {
styleOverrides:{
root: {
backgroundColor: "#FF0000"
}
}
}
}
})
render() {
return (
<CacheProvider value={muiCache}>
<ThemeProvider theme={this.getMuiTheme()}>
<MUIDataTable title={"ACME Employee list"} data={data} columns={columns} options={options} />
</ThemeProvider>
</CacheProvider>
);
}
}
You can pass custom components to further customize the table:
import React from "react";
import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import MUIDataTable, { TableFilterList } from "mui-datatables";
const CustomChip = ({ label, onDelete }) => {
return (
<Chip
variant="outlined"
color="secondary"
label={label}
onDelete={onDelete}
/>
);
};
const CustomFilterList = (props) => {
return <TableFilterList {...props} ItemComponent={CustomChip} />;
};
class CustomDataTable extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<MUIDataTable
columns={columns}
data={data}
components={{
TableFilterList: CustomFilterList,
}}
/>
);
}
}
Supported customizable components:
Checkbox
- A special 'data-description' prop lets you differentiate checkboxes Example. Valid values: ['row-select', 'row-select-header', 'table-filter', 'table-view-col'].The dataIndex is also passed via the "data-index" prop.ExpandButton
ExampleDragDropBackend
TableBody
TableViewCol
- The component that displays the view/hide list of columns on the toolbar.TableFilterList
- You can passItemComponent
prop to render custom filter list item.TableFooter
TableHead
TableResize
TableToolbar
TableToolbarSelect
Tooltip
icons
- An object containing optional replacement icon classes for the actions toolbar. ExampleSearchIcon
DownloadIcon
PrintIcon
ViewColumnIcon
FilterIcon
For more information, please see this example. Additionally, all examples can be viewed live at our CodeSandbox.
If you are looking to work with remote data sets or handle pagination, filtering, and sorting on a remote server you can do that with the following options:
const options = {
serverSide: true,
onTableChange: (action, tableState) => {
this.xhrRequest('my.api.com/tableData', result => {
this.setState({ data: result });
});
}
};

This package decided that the cost of bringing in another library to perform localizations would be too expensive. Instead the ability to override all text labels (which aren't many) is offered through the options property textLabels
. The available strings:
const options = {
...
textLabels: {
body: {
noMatch: "Sorry, no matching records found",
toolTip: "Sort",
columnHeaderTooltip: column => `Sort for ${column.label}`
},
pagination: {
next: "Next Page",
previous: "Previous Page",
rowsPerPage: "Rows per page:",
displayRows: "of",
},
toolbar: {
search: "Search",
downloadCsv: "Download CSV",
print: "Print",
viewColumns: "View Columns",
filterTable: "Filter Table",
},
filter: {
all: "All",
title: "FILTERS",
reset: "RESET",
},
viewColumns: {
title: "Show Columns",
titleAria: "Show/Hide Table Columns",
},
selectedRows: {
text: "row(s) selected",
delete: "Delete",
deleteAria: "Delete Selected Rows",
},
}
...
}
