A table is an arrangement which organizes information into rows and columns. It is used to store and display data in a structured format.
The react-table is a lightweight, fast, fully customizable (JSX, templates, state, styles, callbacks), and extendable Datagrid built for React. It is fully controllable via optional props and callbacks.
Features
1. It is lightweight at 11kb (and only need 2kb more for styles).
2. It is fully customizable (JSX, templates, state, styles, callbacks).
3. It is fully controllable via optional props and callbacks.
4. It has client-side & Server-side pagination.
5. It has filters.
6. Pivoting & Aggregation
7. Minimal design & easily themeable
Installation
Let us create a React app using the following command.
1. $ npx create-react-app myreactapp
Next, we need to install react-table. We can install react-table via npm command, which is given below.
1. $ npm install react-table
Once, we have installed react-table, we need to import the react-table into the react component. To do this, open the src/App.js file and add the following snippet.
1. import ReactTable from “react-table”;
Let us assume we have data which needs to be rendered using react-table.

1. const data = [{ 
2. name: 'Ayaan', 
3. age: 26 
4. },{ 
5. name: 'Ahana', 
6. age: 22 
7. },{ 
8. name: 'Peter', 
9. age: 40 
10. },{ 
11. name: 'Virat', 
12. age: 30 
13. },{ 
14. name: 'Rohit', 
15. age: 32 
16. },{ 
17. name: 'Dhoni', 
18. age: 37 
19. }]

Along with data, we also need to specify the column info with column attributes.

1. const columns = [{ 
2. Header: 'Name', 
3. accessor: 'name' 
4. },{ 
5. Header: 'Age', 
6. accessor: 'age' 
7. }]

Inside the render method, we need to bind this data with react-table and then returns the react-table.

1. return ( 
2. <div> 
3. <ReactTable 
4. data={data} 
5. columns={columns} 
6. defaultPageSize = {2} 
7. pageSizeOptions = {[2,4, 6]} 
8. /> 
9. </div> 
10. )

Now, our src/App.js file looks like as below.

1. import React, { Component } from 'react'; 
2. import ReactTable from "react-table"; 
3. import "react-table/react-table.css"; 
4. 
5. class App extends Component { 
6. render() { 
7. const data = [{ 
8. name: 'Ayaan', 
9. age: 26 
10. },{ 
11. name: 'Ahana', 
12. age: 22 
13. },{ 
14. name: 'Peter', 
15. age: 40 
16. },{ 
17. name: 'Virat', 
18. age: 30 
19. },{ 
20. name: 'Rohit', 
21. age: 32 
22. },{ 
23. name: 'Dhoni', 
24. age: 37 
25. }] 
26. const columns = [{ 
27. Header: 'Name', 
28. accessor: 'name' 
29. },{ 
30. Header: 'Age', 
31. accessor: 'age' 
32. }] 
33. return ( 
34. <div> 
35. <ReactTable 
36. data={data} 
37. columns={columns} 
38. defaultPageSize = {2} 
39. pageSizeOptions = {[2,4, 6]} 
40. /> 
41. </div> 
42. ) 
43. } 
44. } 
45. export default App;

Output
When we execute the React app, we will get the output as below.

Now, change the rows dropdown menu, we will get the output as below.
