useEditableTable tableProps datatype
hi, i have a question. why do the dataSource inside the tableprops property from useEditableTable only accepts an object dataType instead of an array? I need to pass a data which contains of many objects to make the table row @kapa.ai

Hi @Griyan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Actually, the
dataSource
property inside the tableProps
returned by useEditableTable
or useTable
does accept an array of objects. This array of objects represents the data to be displayed in the table. Each object in the array corresponds to a row in the table, and the properties of these objects correspond to the columns.
Here's an example of how it's used:
In this example, tableProps.dataSource
would be an array of objects, and each object would have a title
property that corresponds to the "Title" column in the table.
For more details, you can refer to the useTable documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/table/useTable/).

yes i thought so it suppose to be like that, but in my situation right now the dataSource wouldnt accept an array of object and even though i tried to write it like this , it still wont show the data passed. one more thing, the wierd thing is when i look at the queryResult from the useEditableTable, it successfully retrieve my data but when i looked at the dataSource, is shows undefined. can you help me with that? @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Based on the information provided, it seems like there might be an issue with how the data is being fetched or passed to the
dataSource
property. The useEditableTable
or useTable
hooks use the useList
hook under the hood to fetch the data. If dataSource
is undefined, it might mean that the data fetching isn't working as expected.
Here's a basic usage example of useTable
:
In this example, useTable
fetches the data and provides it to the Table
component via tableProps
. If dataSource
is undefined, it might mean that useTable
isn't fetching the data correctly.
You mentioned that queryResult
from useEditableTable
is retrieving your data successfully. queryResult
is the result of the react-query
's useQuery
, which means the data fetching is working at that level.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact issue without seeing your code, but here are a few things you could check:
1. Make sure you're passing the correct resource to useTable
or useEditableTable
. By default, it reads the resource
from the URL.
2. Check if there's an issue with how the data is structured. The dataSource
expects an array of objects, where each object represents a row in the table.
3. Make sure the useTable
or useEditableTable
hooks are being used correctly in your component.
If you're still having issues, I would recommend referring to the useTable (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/table/useTable/) and useEditableTable (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/table/useEditableTable/) documentation for more information.

is it possible if i just reassign the tableProps.dataSource with the fetching resut from queryResult? i mean it should give me the same result even tho its very inefficient @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Yes, it is technically possible to manually assign the
queryResult.data
to tableProps.dataSource
. However, this is not recommended as it bypasses the built-in data handling of the useTable
or useEditableTable
hooks. These hooks are designed to handle data fetching, pagination, sorting, and other table functionalities automatically.
Here's an example of how you might do it, although again, this is not recommended:
This approach could lead to unexpected behavior, especially when dealing with pagination, sorting, and filtering. The useTable
and useEditableTable
hooks are designed to handle these functionalities automatically based on the dataSource
, so manually overriding it could cause issues.
If you're having trouble with the dataSource
being undefined, it would be better to try and resolve the underlying issue rather than manually assigning the dataSource
. As mentioned in the previous response, this could involve checking the resource you're passing to useTable
, the structure of your data, and how you're using the useTable
hook in your component.
For more information, you can refer to the useTable (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/table/useTable/) and useEditableTable (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/table/useEditableTable/) documentation.
