AdaptTable for Ant Design

Large datasets in Ant Design

Turn virtualize on and the table renders the rows in view plus a small overscan, whatever the dataset's size. virtualizeColumns does the same across, for column sets far wider than the window.

The header stays pinned, pinned columns stay put, and the scroll box scrolls — never the page. Sorting, filtering and selection keep working on the whole dataset rather than on what is drawn.

Nothing about the markup changes: it is the same Ant Design table, with the rows outside the window absent rather than hidden.

This is antd's own virtual table, not a second virtualizer over it: antd owns the scroller, so the adapter feeds it an explicit scroll size, drives infinite paging off antd's internal scroll position, and pins columns through antd's native fixed API.

The code

import { DataTable } from "@adapttable/antd";

export function Ledger({ rows, columns }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      data={rows}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      virtualize
      virtualizeColumns
      maxHeight={600}
      defaultColumnLayout={{ pinned: { name: "start" } }}
    />
  );
}

More Ant Design features

• Filtering in Ant Design — Kit-native operators, date ranges, checklists, an AND/OR tree, chips.
• Column management in Ant Design — Show, hide, reorder, pin and resize — from a menu you did not write.
• Column groups in Ant Design — Spanning headers that collapse to a stub, a kept child, or a custom cell.
• Row selection in Ant Design — A set of ids that survives paging, with bulk actions over it.
• Rows in Ant Design — Pin, drag-reorder, merge cells, and a 3-dot menu per row.
• Inline cell editing in Ant Design — Kit-native editors in the cell; every write goes through your handler.
• Row grouping in Ant Design — Nested group headers with counts, subtotals, footers and collapse state.
• Nested tables in Ant Design — A real table under a row — same engine, own columns, own keys.
• Export and print in Ant Design — CSV, XLSX and PDF from one seam — plus a real print layout.
• Tree data in Ant Design — Rows that contain rows — nesting, chevrons, keyboard traversal.
• Mobile cards in Ant Design — Every row becomes a card on phones. Automatically, with the same state.
• Pivot tables in Ant Design — Rows down the side, dimensions across the top, subtotals at every level.
• Saved views in Ant Design — Name an arrangement, share it as a link, manage the list in place.
