Sure, here are some ideas for implementing those features in your React DataTable library:
-
Search Highlight: One way to implement search highlighting is to use the RegExp constructor to create a regular expression from the search term, and then use the replace method on the row data to replace the matched search term with a highlighted version of the term. You can use a CSS class to apply the highlighting style to the matched term.
-
Row Selection: To enable row selection, you can add a checkbox column to the table and store the selected rows in a state variable. When the user clicks on a row, you can toggle the checkbox and update the state variable accordingly. You can also add a "Select All" checkbox to select all rows at once.
-
Row Expansion: To implement row expansion, you can add a button or an icon to each row that the user can click to expand the row and show additional details. You can use a state variable to keep track of which rows are expanded, and conditionally render the expanded details based on the state.
-
Row Reordering: To allow row reordering, you can use a drag-and-drop library like react-beautiful-dnd to enable drag-and-drop functionality on the rows. You can store the order of the rows in a state variable and update the state when the user drops a row in a new position.
-
Column Resizing: To allow column resizing, you can use a library like react-table-resizable to enable drag-and-drop functionality on the column headers. You can store the width of each column in a state variable and update the state when the user resizes a column.
-
Column Reordering: To allow column reordering, you can use a drag-and-drop library like react-beautiful-dnd to enable drag-and-drop functionality on the column headers. You can store the order of the columns in a state variable and update the state when the user drops a column in a new position.
-
Column Filtering: To allow column filtering, you can add a filter input field to the column header and update the state with the filter value as the user types. You can then filter the table data based on the filter value using a JavaScript array filter function.
-
Exporting Data: To allow exporting data, you can add a button that triggers a function to convert the table data to a CSV, Excel, or PDF format. You can use a library like react-csv or react-pdf to generate the export file.
It's important to keep in mind the maintainability of your code while implementing these features. You can create separate components for each feature to keep the code organized and easy to understand. You can also use reusable functions and hooks to reduce the amount of code duplication.
Missing features
There are several advanced features that can enhance the functionality and user experience of the data table React library, such as:
Search highlight: Highlight the searched keywords in the table rows to make it easier for the user to identify relevant data.
Row selection: Allow the user to select one or multiple rows in the table so n then be used for further actions, such as deleting or editing the selected data.
Row expansion: Allow the user to expand a row to show additional details displayed with additional information about the row, such as a list of related items or a more detailed description of the data.
Row reordering: Allow the user to drag and drop rows to reorder them.
Column resizing: Allow the user to resize the width of the columns.
Column reordering: Allow the user to drag and drop columns to reorder them.
Column filtering: Allow the user to filter the data based on the values in a specific column.
Exporting data: Allow the user to export the data in different formats such as CSV, Excel, or PDF.
