table

A TanStack Table-powered compound component for rendering typed, sortable data tables with shadcn/ui styling. It provides context-aware table, header, row, cell, and body components plus a dropdown-based column sorting control.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @kibo-ui/table

Requires @kibo-ui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import type { ColumnDef } from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";import {  TableBody,  TableCell,  TableColumnHeader,  TableHead,  TableHeader,  TableHeaderGroup,  TableProvider,  TableRow,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";type User = { name: string; email: string };const columns: ColumnDef<User, unknown>[] = [  {    accessorKey: "name",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Name" />,    cell: ({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell as never} />,  },  {    accessorKey: "email",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Email" />,    cell: ({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell as never} />,  },];const data: User[] = [{ name: "Ada Lovelace", email: "ada@example.com" }];export function UserTable() {  return (    <TableProvider columns={columns} data={data}>      <TableHeader>        {({ headerGroup }) => (          <TableHeaderGroup headerGroup={headerGroup}>            {({ header }) => <TableHead header={header} />}          </TableHeaderGroup>        )}      </TableHeader>      <TableBody>        {({ row }) => (          <TableRow row={row}>            {({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell} />}          </TableRow>        )}      </TableBody>    </TableProvider>  );}
  • Use for structured data views that need TanStack Table column definitions and client-side sorting.
  • Use when table markup should be split into reusable context-aware header, body, row, and cell components.
  • Use for administrative lists, dashboards, inventories, users, orders, and other tabular datasets.
  • Use when sortable columns should expose explicit ascending and descending menu actions.

Examples

Sortable users table

A user list with sortable name and email columns.

sortable-users-table.tsx
import type { ColumnDef } from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";import {  TableBody,  TableCell,  TableColumnHeader,  TableHead,  TableHeader,  TableHeaderGroup,  TableProvider,  TableRow,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";type User = { name: string; email: string };const columns: ColumnDef<User, unknown>[] = [  {    accessorKey: "name",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Name" />,  },  {    accessorKey: "email",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Email" />,  },];export function UsersTable({ data }: { data: User[] }) {  return (    <TableProvider columns={columns} data={data}>      <TableHeader>        {({ headerGroup }) => (          <TableHeaderGroup headerGroup={headerGroup}>            {({ header }) => <TableHead header={header} />}          </TableHeaderGroup>        )}      </TableHeader>      <TableBody>        {({ row }) => (          <TableRow row={row}>            {({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell} />}          </TableRow>        )}      </TableBody>    </TableProvider>  );}

Orders table with custom cell rendering

An order table that renders a formatted amount through a TanStack cell definition.

orders-table-with-custom-cell-rendering.tsx
import type { ColumnDef } from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";import {  TableBody,  TableCell,  TableColumnHeader,  TableHead,  TableHeader,  TableHeaderGroup,  TableProvider,  TableRow,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";type Order = { id: string; customer: string; amount: number };const columns: ColumnDef<Order, unknown>[] = [  {    accessorKey: "id",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Order" />,  },  {    accessorKey: "customer",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Customer" />,  },  {    accessorKey: "amount",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Amount" />,    cell: ({ row }) => <span>${row.original.amount.toFixed(2)}</span>,  },];export function OrdersTable({ data }: { data: Order[] }) {  return (    <TableProvider columns={columns} data={data}>      <TableHeader>        {({ headerGroup }) => (          <TableHeaderGroup headerGroup={headerGroup}>            {({ header }) => <TableHead header={header} />}          </TableHeaderGroup>        )}      </TableHeader>      <TableBody>        {({ row }) => (          <TableRow row={row}>            {({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell} />}          </TableRow>        )}      </TableBody>    </TableProvider>  );}

Table with custom classes

A compact table using the provider and component className props for layout adjustments.

table-with-custom-classes.tsx
import type { ColumnDef } from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";import {  TableBody,  TableCell,  TableColumnHeader,  TableHead,  TableHeader,  TableHeaderGroup,  TableProvider,  TableRow,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/table";type Product = { product: string; stock: number };const columns: ColumnDef<Product, unknown>[] = [  {    accessorKey: "product",    header: ({ column }) => (      <TableColumnHeader className="font-semibold" column={column} title="Product" />    ),  },  {    accessorKey: "stock",    header: ({ column }) => <TableColumnHeader column={column} title="Stock" />,  },];export function ProductTable({ data }: { data: Product[] }) {  return (    <TableProvider className="rounded-md border" columns={columns} data={data}>      <TableHeader className="bg-muted/50">        {({ headerGroup }) => (          <TableHeaderGroup headerGroup={headerGroup}>            {({ header }) => <TableHead header={header} />}          </TableHeaderGroup>        )}      </TableHeader>      <TableBody className="text-sm">        {({ row }) => (          <TableRow row={row}>            {({ cell }) => <TableCell cell={cell} />}          </TableRow>        )}      </TableBody>    </TableProvider>  );}

Accessibility

  • The component uses the semantic table primitives from shadcn/ui and renders sortable controls as actual buttons inside a dropdown menu.
  • Sortable headers expose separate Asc and Desc menu items, while the current sort direction is conveyed visually with ArrowUp, ArrowDown, or ChevronsUpDown icons.
  • The implementation does not add explicit aria-sort attributes or accessible labels beyond the visible title text and underlying shadcn/ui primitive behavior.
  • The empty state is announced only as visible text: “No results.”
  • TableColumnHeader accepts HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> at the type level, but attributes other than className are not forwarded to the rendered div.
