Select row on click react-table

Question

I am trying to find the best table to use with my react apps, and for now, the react-table offers everything I need (pagination, server-side control, filtering, sorting, foo

Answer 1

There is a HOC included for React-Table that allows for selection, even when filtering and paginating the table, the setup is slightly more advanced than the basic table so read through the info in the link below first.

After importing the HOC you can then use it like this with the necessary methods:

/**
* Toggle a single checkbox for select table
*/
toggleSelection(key: number, shift: string, row: string) {
    // start off with the existing state
    let selection = [...this.state.selection];
    const keyIndex = selection.indexOf(key);

    // check to see if the key exists
    if (keyIndex >= 0) {
        // it does exist so we will remove it using destructing
        selection = [
            ...selection.slice(0, keyIndex),
            ...selection.slice(keyIndex + 1)
        ];
    } else {
        // it does not exist so add it
        selection.push(key);
    }
    // update the state
    this.setState({ selection });
}

/**
* Toggle all checkboxes for select table
*/
toggleAll() {
    const selectAll = !this.state.selectAll;
    const selection = [];

    if (selectAll) {
        // we need to get at the internals of ReactTable
        const wrappedInstance = this.checkboxTable.getWrappedInstance();
        // the 'sortedData' property contains the currently accessible records based on the filter and sort
        const currentRecords = wrappedInstance.getResolvedState().sortedData;
        // we just push all the IDs onto the selection array
        currentRecords.forEach(item => {
            selection.push(item._original._id);
        });
    }
    this.setState({ selectAll, selection });
}

/**
* Whether or not a row is selected for select table
*/
isSelected(key: number) {
    return this.state.selection.includes(key);
}

 (this.checkboxTable = r)}
    toggleSelection={this.toggleSelection}
    selectAll={this.state.selectAll}
    toggleAll={this.toggleAll}
    selectType="checkbox"
    isSelected={this.isSelected}
    data={data}
    columns={columns}
/>
