How to make a table with custom json source?

I have following json scheme

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"
},        {
            "id": 51,
            "name": "West"
},]

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"
},        {
            "id": 51,
            "name": "West"
},]

Hi @mflash. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To render a table using the useTable hook in Refine, you can follow the example provided in the Refine documentation. Here's a basic example of how you can use the useTable hook to render a table with your JSON data:

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>();

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>();

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

In this example, useTable is used to fetch the data and provide properties compatible with the Ant Design Table component. The tableProps object returned by useTable is spread into the Table component to provide the necessary properties for rendering the table. Please note that this example assumes that you have set up Refine to fetch data from your API endpoint. The useTable hook in its basic usage reads the resource from the URL and returns the data from the API endpoint. If you need to fetch data from a custom JSON source, you would need to set up a custom data provider to fetch data from your source. For more information on how to use the useTable hook, you can refer to the Refine useTable hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-table/). For more information on how to set up a custom data provider, you can refer to the Refine data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data-provider/introduction/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Unhandled Runtime Error TypeError: rawData.some is not a function Call Stack eval node_modules/antd/lib/table/InternalTable.js (95:0)

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The error message you're seeing, TypeError: rawData.some is not a function, typically occurs when the Table component from Ant Design expects an array as data, but it's receiving something else. In the context of Refine and Ant Design, this error can occur if the data returned from the useTable hook is not an array. The useTable hook returns a tableProps object, which includes the dataSource property. This dataSource property should be an array of objects, where each object represents a row in the table. Here's a basic example of how the useTable hook should be used:

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>();

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>();

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

In this example, useTable is used to fetch the data and provide properties compatible with the Ant Design Table component. The tableProps object returned by useTable is spread into the Table component to provide the necessary properties for rendering the table. If you're still encountering this error, it's possible that the data returned from your API endpoint is not in the expected format. The useTable hook expects the data to be in a specific format, typically an array of objects. You may need to adjust your data provider or the API endpoint to return data in the expected format. For more information on how to use the useTable hook, you can refer to the Refine useTable hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-table/). For more information on how to set up a custom data provider, you can refer to the Refine data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data-provider/introduction/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I have following json

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"

}

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"
},        {
            "id": 51,
            "name": "West"
},]
}

It caused an error: Unhandled Runtime Error TypeError: rawData.some is not a function Call Stack eval node_modules/antd/lib/table/InternalTable.js (95:0)

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The error you're encountering, TypeError: rawData.some is not a function, is likely due to the fact that Ant Design's Table component expects an array for its dataSource prop, but it's receiving an object instead. In your JSON data, the items field is an array, which should be used as the dataSource for the Table. However, the useTable hook might be returning the entire JSON object (which includes the count field), causing the error. To resolve this, you need to ensure that the dataSource prop for the Table component is set to the items array from your JSON data. This might involve customizing your data provider to format the response correctly. Here's a basic example of how you might use the useTable hook with your data:

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>({
        resource: "events",
        pagination: {
            current: 1, 
            pageSize: 10,
        },
    });

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IEvent {
    id: number;
    name: string;
}

const EventTable: React.FC = () => {
    const { tableProps } = useTable<IEvent>({
        resource: "events",
        pagination: {
            current: 1, 
            pageSize: 10,
        },
    });

    return (
        <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
            <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
            <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
        </Table>
    );
};

@kapa.ai this is example

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";

import { List, TagField, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  content: string;
  status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>();

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
        <Table.Column
          dataIndex="status"
          title="Status"
          render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
        />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";

import { List, TagField, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  content: string;
  status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>();

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="title" title="Title" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="content" title="Content" />
        <Table.Column
          dataIndex="status"
          title="Status"
          render={(value: string) => <TagField value={value} />}
        />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

But how i need modify code if IPost - has following scheme

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"
},        {
            "id": 51,
            "name": "West"
},]
}

{
    "count": 50,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": 50,
            "name": "West Reyes Event"
},        {
            "id": 51,
            "name": "West"
},]
}

This object has property item, which has table records

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To modify the code to work with your new data structure, you need to adjust the IPost interface and the Table.Column components to match the new data structure. Here's how you can do it:

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";

import { List, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>({
    resource: "posts",
    mapData: (data) => data.items, // mapData is used to map the API response to the format expected by useTable
  });

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";

import { List, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost, HttpError>({
    resource: "posts",
    mapData: (data) => data.items, // mapData is used to map the API response to the format expected by useTable
  });

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

In this example, the IPost interface has been updated to match the new data structure. The Table.Column components have also been updated to match the new data structure. The mapData function is used to map the API response to the format expected by useTable. In this case, it's used to extract the items array from the API response. Please note that this example assumes that you have set up Refine to fetch data from your API endpoint. The useTable hook in its basic usage reads the resource from the URL and returns the data from the API endpoint. If you need to fetch data from a custom JSON source, you would need to set up a custom data provider to fetch data from your source. For more information on how to use the useTable hook, you can refer to the Refine useTable hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-table/). For more information on how to set up a custom data provider, you can refer to the Refine data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data-provider/introduction/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai change code because of @deprecated — metaData is deprecated with refine@4, refine will pass meta instead, however, we still support metaData for backward compatibility.

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In Refine version 4, the metaData prop has been deprecated and replaced with meta. This change applies to all hooks and components. However, for backward compatibility, metaData is still supported. Here's how you can update your code to use meta instead of metaData:

import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
    resource: "posts",
    mapData: (data) => data.items,
    meta: { /* your meta properties here */ },
  });

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Table } from "antd";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const PostList: React.FC = () => {
  const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
    resource: "posts",
    mapData: (data) => data.items,
    meta: { /* your meta properties here */ },
  });

  return (
    <List>
      <Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
        <Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
        <Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
      </Table>
    </List>
  );
};

In this example, the useTable hook is updated to use meta instead of metaData. You can pass any meta properties you need for your application in the meta object. For more information on this change, you can refer to the Refine migration guide (https://refine.dev/docs/migration-guide/3x-to-4x#metadata-to-meta). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Argument of type '{ resource: string; mapData: (data: any) => any; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'useTableProps<IPost, HttpError, unknown, IPost>'. Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'mapData' does not exist in type 'useTableProps<IPost, HttpError, unknown, IPost>'.ts(2345)

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion, but it seems there was a misunderstanding. The useTable hook from Refine does not accept a mapData property. To handle your data structure where the array of items is nested under the items property, you would need to adjust your data provider to return the data in the format expected by Refine. Refine expects the data provider to return an object with data and total properties, where data is an array of records and total is the total number of records. If you're using a custom data provider, you would need to adjust the getList method to format the response correctly. Here's a basic example:

const dataProvider = {
    // other methods...

    getList: async (resource, params) => {
        const response = await fetch(`/api/${resource}`, {
            // request configuration...
        });

        const data = await response.json();

        return {
            data: data.items,
            total: data.count,
        };
    },

    // other methods...
};

const dataProvider = {
    // other methods...

    getList: async (resource, params) => {
        const response = await fetch(`/api/${resource}`, {
            // request configuration...
        });

        const data = await response.json();

        return {
            data: data.items,
            total: data.count,
        };
    },

    // other methods...
};

In this example, the getList method fetches the data from the API, then returns an object with data and total properties. The data property is set to the items array from the API response, and the total property is set to the count from the API response. For more information on how to set up a custom data provider, you can refer to the Refine data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data-provider/introduction/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
