AdaptTable for shadcn

Pivot tables in shadcn

Grouping answers “what is the total per team”. A pivot answers “what is the total per team per status”, and that second dimension becomes columns your data never had.

Fields move between the three zones with buttons rather than drag, so the pivot can be built from the keyboard. Subtotals close every group and a grand total closes the table.

The configuration — axes, measures, aggregation and what you folded — lives in the URL, so a pivot you build is a pivot you can send someone.

The pivot panel is the one surface the preset does not reach: it renders the unstyled adapter's fieldset, legend, selects and buttons with no classes at all, so this zone editor is browser-default until you style it.

The code

import { DataTable, PivotPanel } from "@adapttable/shadcn";
import { usePivotUrlState } from "@adapttable/core/pivot";

export function Spend({ rows, fields }) {
  const pivot = usePivotUrlState({
    urlKey: "p",
    defaultConfig: {
      rows: ["team"],
      columns: ["status"],
      measures: [{ key: "budget", agg: "sum" }],
    },
  });
  return (
    <>
      <PivotPanel fields={fields} {...pivot} />
      <DataTable
        data={rows}
        columns={pivot.columns}
        rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      />
    </>
  );
}
