}Installation
Install the main component and dependencies:
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid"Install optional menu components:
npm install # Sort menu with drag-and-drop reordering
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid-sort-menu"
# Filter menu with advanced filtering
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid-filter-menu"
# Row height adjustment menu
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid-row-height-menu"
# Column visibility menu
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid-view-menu"
# Keyboard shortcuts dialog
npx shadcn@latest add "@diceui/data-grid-keyboard-shortcuts"Update import paths for custom components:
The shadcn CLI doesn't handle custom component paths properly (see issue). You'll need to update these imports manually:
In lib/data-grid.ts:
import type {
CellPosition,
Direction,
FileCellData,
RowHeightValue,
} from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid";
import type {
CellPosition,
Direction,
FileCellData,
RowHeightValue,
} from "@/types/data-grid"; In hooks/use-data-grid.ts:
import {
getCellKey,
getIsFileCellData,
getIsInPopover,
getRowHeightValue,
getScrollDirection,
matchSelectOption,
parseCellKey,
scrollCellIntoView,
} from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid";
import type {
CellPosition,
ContextMenuState,
Direction,
FileCellData,
NavigationDirection,
PasteDialogState,
RowHeightValue,
SearchState,
SelectionState,
UpdateCell,
} from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid";
import {
getCellKey,
getIsFileCellData,
getIsInPopover,
getRowHeightValue,
getScrollDirection,
matchSelectOption,
parseCellKey,
scrollCellIntoView,
} from "@/lib/data-grid";
import type {
CellPosition,
ContextMenuState,
Direction,
FileCellData,
NavigationDirection,
PasteDialogState,
RowHeightValue,
SearchState,
SelectionState,
UpdateCell,
} from "@/types/data-grid"; In all components/data-grid/*.tsx files:
Update imports to use @/lib/data-grid for utility functions and @/types/data-grid for types instead of importing from @/components/data-grid/data-grid.
Usage
Basic Data Grid
import { DataGrid } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid";
import { DataGridKeyboardShortcuts } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-keyboard-shortcuts";
import { useDataGrid } from "@/hooks/use-data-grid";
export default function MyDataGrid() {
const [data, setData] = React.useState(initialData);
const columns = React.useMemo(() => [
{
id: "name",
accessorKey: "name",
header: "Name",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "short-text",
},
},
},
// ... other columns
], []);
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onDataChange: setData,
getRowId: (row) => row.id,
});
return (
<>
<DataGridKeyboardShortcuts />
<DataGrid table={table} {...dataGridProps} />
</>
);
}With Toolbar Menus
Add sort, filter, row height, and view menus:
import { DataGrid } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid";
import { DataGridFilterMenu } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-filter-menu";
import { DataGridKeyboardShortcuts } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-keyboard-shortcuts";
import { DataGridRowHeightMenu } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-row-height-menu";
import { DataGridSortMenu } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-sort-menu";
import { DataGridViewMenu } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-view-menu";
import { useDataGrid } from "@/hooks/use-data-grid";
export default function DataGridToolbarDemo() {
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onDataChange: setData,
});
return (
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4">
{/* Toolbar */}
<div role="toolbar" aria-orientation="horizontal" className="flex items-center gap-2 self-end">
<DataGridFilterMenu table={table} />
<DataGridSortMenu table={table} />
<DataGridRowHeightMenu table={table} />
<DataGridViewMenu table={table} />
</div>
<DataGridKeyboardShortcuts enableSearch={!!dataGridProps.searchState} />
<DataGrid table={table} {...dataGridProps} />
</div>
);
}With Row Management
Add and delete rows with callbacks:
const onRowAdd = React.useCallback(() => {
setData((prev) => [...prev, { id: generateId() }]);
return {
rowIndex: data.length,
columnId: "name", // Focus this column after creating the new row
};
}, [data.length]);
const onRowsDelete = React.useCallback((rows, rowIndices) => {
// rows: array of row data objects
// rowIndices: array of row indices
setData((prev) => prev.filter((row) => !rows.includes(row)));
}, []);
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onDataChange: setData,
onRowAdd,
onRowsDelete,
getRowId: (row) => row.id,
});With Search
Use the enableSearch prop to enable search functionality:
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onDataChange: setData,
enableSearch: true, // Enable search (Ctrl/Cmd+F)
});
// Pass search state to keyboard shortcuts for proper shortcuts display
<DataGridKeyboardShortcuts enableSearch={!!dataGridProps.searchState} />With Paste Support
Use the enablePaste prop to enable pasting from clipboard:
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onDataChange: setData,
enablePaste: true, // Enable paste (Ctrl/Cmd+V)
onRowsAdd: async (count) => {
// Called when paste needs to add new rows
// This is more performant than adding rows one by one with the `onRowAdd` prop
const newRows = Array.from({ length: count }, () => ({ id: generateId() }));
setData((prev) => [...prev, ...newRows]);
},
});Read-Only Mode
Use the readOnly prop to make the grid read-only:
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
readOnly: true, // Disable all editing
});RTL Support
Wrap the grid in a DirectionProvider and the language direction will be automatically detected.
import { DirectionProvider } from "@radix-ui/react-direction";
return (
<DirectionProvider dir="rtl">
<DataGridImpl />
</DirectionProvider>
)
function DataGridImpl() {
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
});
return (
<DataGrid table={table} {...dataGridProps} />
)
}Auto Focus
Use the autoFocus prop to automatically focus any navigable cell on mount:
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
autoFocus: true, // Focus first navigable cell
// Or focus a specific cell:
// autoFocus: { rowIndex: 0, columnId: "name" },
});Custom Height and Stretch Columns
Control the grid height and column stretching:
<DataGrid
table={table}
{...dataGridProps}
height={800} // Custom height in pixels (default: 600)
stretchColumns={true} // Stretch columns to fill available width
/>Cell Variants
The Data Grid supports various cell variants for different data formats:
Short Text Cell
Single-line text input with inline editing:
{
id: "name",
accessorKey: "name",
header: "Name",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "short-text",
},
},
}Long Text Cell
Multi-line text displayed in a popover with auto-save:
{
id: "notes",
accessorKey: "notes",
header: "Notes",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "long-text",
},
},
}Number Cell
Numeric input with optional constraints:
{
id: "price",
accessorKey: "price",
header: "Price",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "number",
min: 0,
max: 1000,
step: 0.01,
},
},
}URL Cell
URL input with validation and clickable links:
{
id: "website",
accessorKey: "website",
header: "Website",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "url",
},
},
}Checkbox Cell
Boolean checkbox for true/false values:
{
id: "isActive",
accessorKey: "isActive",
header: "Active",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "checkbox",
},
},
}Select Cell
Single-select input with predefined options:
{
id: "category",
accessorKey: "category",
header: "Category",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "select",
options: [
{ label: "Electronics", value: "electronics" },
{ label: "Clothing", value: "clothing" },
{ label: "Books", value: "books" },
],
},
},
}Multi-Select Cell
Multi-select input with predefined options and badge display:
{
id: "skills",
accessorKey: "skills",
header: "Skills",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "multi-select",
options: [
{ label: "JavaScript", value: "javascript" },
{ label: "TypeScript", value: "typescript" },
{ label: "React", value: "react" },
],
},
},
}Date Cell
Date picker with calendar popover:
{
id: "startDate",
accessorKey: "startDate",
header: "Start Date",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "date",
},
},
}File Cell
File upload with support for multiple files and file management:
{
id: "attachments",
accessorKey: "attachments",
header: "Attachments",
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "file",
maxFileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
maxFiles: 5,
accept: "image/*,video/*,audio/*,.pdf,.doc,.docx",
multiple: true,
},
},
}To use file cells, provide upload and delete handlers:
const onFilesUpload = React.useCallback(async ({ files, rowIndex, columnId }) => {
// Upload files to your server/storage
const formData = new FormData();
files.forEach(file => formData.append('files', file));
const response = await fetch('/api/upload', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
const data = await response.json();
// Return array of file metadata
return data.files.map(f => ({
id: f.fileId,
name: f.fileName,
size: f.fileSize,
type: f.fileType,
url: f.fileUrl
}));
}, []);
const onFilesDelete = React.useCallback(async ({ fileIds, rowIndex, columnId }) => {
// Delete files from your server/storage
await fetch('/api/files', {
method: 'DELETE',
body: JSON.stringify({ fileIds })
});
}, []);
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
onFilesUpload,
onFilesDelete,
});Row Selection
Add a selection column to enable row selection with shift-click support:
import { Checkbox } from "@/components/ui/checkbox";
const columns = [
{
id: "select",
header: ({ table }) => (
<Checkbox
checked={
table.getIsAllPageRowsSelected() ||
(table.getIsSomePageRowsSelected() && "indeterminate")
}
onCheckedChange={(value) => table.toggleAllPageRowsSelected(!!value)}
/>
),
cell: ({ row, table }) => (
<Checkbox
checked={row.getIsSelected()}
onCheckedChange={(value) => {
const onRowSelect = table.options.meta?.onRowSelect;
if (onRowSelect) {
onRowSelect(row.index, !!value, false);
} else {
row.toggleSelected(!!value);
}
}}
onClick={(event) => {
if (event.shiftKey) {
event.preventDefault();
const onRowSelect = table.options.meta?.onRowSelect;
if (onRowSelect) {
onRowSelect(row.index, !row.getIsSelected(), true);
}
}
}}
/>
),
size: 40,
enableSorting: false,
enableHiding: false,
enableResizing: false,
},
// ... other columns
];The shift-click functionality is handled automatically by the useDataGrid hook when you include the onRowSelect logic.
Cell Architecture
The Data Grid uses a three-layer cell composition pattern:
- DataGridCell: Routes to the appropriate cell variant based on the column's
meta.cell.variantproperty - Cell Variants: Implement specific editing UIs for different data variants (text, number, select, etc.)
- DataGridCellWrapper: Provides common functionality for all cells (focus, selection, keyboard interactions)
// Cell composition flow
<DataGridCell cell={cell} table={table} />
↓
<ShortTextCell {...props} /> // Based on variant
↓
<DataGridCellWrapper {...props}>
{/* Cell-specific content */}
</DataGridCellWrapper>Each cell variant receives the same props and wraps its content in DataGridCellWrapper, which provides:
- Focus management and visual focus ring
- Selection state and highlighting
- Search match highlighting
- Click, double-click, and keyboard event management
- Edit mode triggering (Enter, F2, Space, or typing)
Creating Custom Cell Variants
You can create custom cell variants by implementing the DataGridCellProps interface and wrapping your content in DataGridCellWrapper:
import { DataGridCellWrapper } from "@/components/data-grid/data-grid-cell-wrapper";
import type { DataGridCellProps } from "@/types/data-grid";
export function CustomCell<TData>({
cell,
tableMeta,
rowIndex,
columnId,
isFocused,
isEditing,
isSelected,
isSearchMatch,
isActiveSearchMatch,
readOnly,
}: DataGridCellProps<TData>) {
const value = cell.getValue() as CustomCellValue;
return (
<DataGridCellWrapper
cell={cell}
tableMeta={tableMeta}
rowIndex={rowIndex}
columnId={columnId}
isEditing={isEditing}
isFocused={isFocused}
isSelected={isSelected}
isSearchMatch={isSearchMatch}
isActiveSearchMatch={isActiveSearchMatch}
readOnly={readOnly}
>
{/* Your custom cell content */}
</DataGridCellWrapper>
);
}Column Configuration
Enabling Filtering and Sorting
To enable filtering and sorting on columns, use the filterFn from the data grid library:
import { getFilterFn } from "@/lib/data-grid-filters";
const columns = React.useMemo(() => {
const filterFn = getFilterFn<YourDataType>();
return [
{
id: "name",
accessorKey: "name",
header: "Name",
filterFn, // Enable filtering
// Sorting is enabled by default
meta: {
label: "Name", // Label shown in filter/sort menus
cell: {
variant: "short-text",
},
},
},
// ... other columns
];
}, []);Column Pinning
Pin columns to the left or right:
const { table, ...dataGridProps } = useDataGrid({
data,
columns,
initialState: {
columnPinning: {
left: ["select", "name"], // Pin to left side
right: ["actions"], // Pin to right side
},
},
});You can also pin/unpin columns dynamically via the column header dropdown menu.
Column Resizing
Column resizing is enabled by default. Users can:
- Drag the column resize handle
- Double-click the resize handle to auto-fit the column width
Set minimum column size using minSize:
{
id: "name",
accessorKey: "name",
header: "Name",
minSize: 180, // Minimum width in pixels
meta: {
cell: {
variant: "short-text",
},
},
}Context Menu Actions
Right-click on cells to access context menu options:
- Copy (Ctrl/Cmd+C): Copy selected cells to clipboard
- Cut (Ctrl/Cmd+X): Cut selected cells (shows visual indicator)
- Clear (Delete/Backspace): Clear content from selected cells
- Delete rows (Ctrl/Cmd+Backspace): Remove selected rows (only available when
onRowsDeleteis provided)
