AdaptTable for shadcn

Rows in shadcn

A row is more than a record. Pin it under the header or to the floor of the scroll box, drag it by the grip (Space lifts, arrows move, Space drops), and merge cells that share a team so the name is written once.

onRowReorder, onPinnedRowIdsChange, getCellSpan and rowActionsLayout="menu" are the four props this page turns on. Add and delete are callbacks to the host — the table never owns the data.

The grips, the pin actions, the menu and the merged cells are shadcn.

The grip and the 3-dot trigger wear the preset's button classes, the menu is the same surface as every other overlay, and a Team merge is one td with rowspan.

The code

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

export function People({ rows, columns, onReorder, setPinned, spanTeam }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      data={rows}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      rowActionsLayout="menu"
      onRowReorder={onReorder}
      onPinnedRowIdsChange={setPinned}
      getCellSpan={spanTeam}
    />
  );
}
