API reference

About Data Table

Data Table gives you sortable columns, search, row selection with a bulk-action bar that slides in, and pagination, with rows that animate into their new order when you sort or filter.

Data 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 Data Table

• Admin panels and back offices.
• Customer and order lists.
• User management.
• Any list that outgrows a plain table.

How it works

It is a real table element, with aria-sort on sorted headers and labelled checkboxes. Search filters across the columns you mark, and row reordering uses Motion layout, so changes are easy to follow.

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 Data 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 pageSize, selectable live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

• columns.
• rows (T[]): Each row needs an id.
• pageSize (number, default 8).
• searchable (boolean, default true).
• selectable (boolean, default true).
• bulkActions ((selected: T[]) => ReactNode).

Goes well with Data Table

These charts pieces share its tokens and motion language, so they sit together on one page without clashing.

• Donut Chart: An animated React donut chart: segments draw in and thicken on hover
• Activity Heatmap: A React contribution heatmap with four shades, tooltips and keyboard navigation
• Sparkline: An animated React sparkline with fill, trend colour and a pulsing end dot
