AdaptTable for shadcn

Export and print in shadcn

One exportCsv() feature puts an export button in the toolbar, and one scope decides what leaves: the current page, every filtered row, or exactly the cells selected.

Swap the writer and the same button produces a different file. xlsxWriter writes Excel outline levels for grouped rows and bolds the totals; pdfWriter lays out a paginated document, right-to-left scripts included when you hand it a font.

Past the 50,000-row browser cap, onExportAll sends the page-free current view to your backend while the kit shows determinate or indeterminate progress, Cancel, Retry, and the finished download.

printTable opens the browser's own print dialog against a layout built for paper rather than a screenshot of the page.

There is no kit button to borrow a loading state from, so the spinner is a bare element the preset styles: a spinning ring built from a transparent-topped border.

The code

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

export function People({ source, columns, api }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      source={source}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      features={[
        exportCsv({
          scope: "all",
          onExportAll: async (query, controls) =>
            api.buildExport(query, {
              signal: controls.signal,
              onProgress: controls.setProgress,
              onMessage: controls.setMessage,
            }),
        }),
      ]}
    />
  );
}
