About Async Table
Async Table shows skeleton rows first, then fetches the next page as you near the bottom, fading new rows in. If a page fails it offers a retry, and it shows a clear end state when there is nothing left.
Async Table is an animated chart for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.
When to use Async Table
- Large logs and event lists.
- Search results from an API.
- Transaction histories.
- Feeds backed by paginated endpoints.
How it works
An IntersectionObserver watches a sentinel row, so loading starts before you reach the end. Requests are deduplicated while one is in flight, and the load state is announced politely.
Each chart has a text alternative, hover tooltips are mirrored by keyboard focus where data points are interactive, and colour is never the only way a value is shown. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Async Table
Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.
The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change height live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.
- columns.
- load.
- pageSize (number, default 20).
- height (number, default 360).
