AdaptTable for Ant Design

Tree data in Ant Design

A tree grid is a different shape from a grouped table: the rows themselves nest, rather than being collected under synthetic headers. Compose tree() with getChildren or getParentId and it renders the hierarchy.

Children indent under their parent, a chevron opens and closes each branch, and arrow keys walk the tree the way a tree widget should. Expansion is part of the table's state, so it lives in the URL like everything else.

Sorting and filtering apply within the tree rather than flattening it. Moving a child under a new parent is a host callback on the row-reordering page — the table never rewrites your tree.

The branch toggle is a text Button with a rotating caret rather than antd's built-in expand icon, which the adapter draws itself so the label follows the table's locale instead of the provider's.

The code

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

export function Org({ people, columns }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      data={people}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      features={[
        tree({ getParentId: (row) => row.managerId, treeColumn: "name" }),
      ]}
      urlKey="org"
    />
  );
}
