# Table

The [**@blueprintjs/table** package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blueprintjs/table) provides components
to build a highly interactive table or spreadsheet UI.

<div class="@ns-callout @ns-large @ns-intent-primary @ns-icon-info-sign">

If you are looking for the simpler Blueprint-styled HTML `<table>` instead, see
[**HTMLTable**](#core/components/html-table).

</div>

Make sure to review the [getting started docs for installation info](#blueprint/getting-started).

```sh copy
npm install --save @blueprintjs/table
```

Do not forget to include `table.css` on your page:

```scss
@import "@blueprintjs/table/lib/css/table.css";
```

### Features

- High-scale, data-agnostic
- Customizable cell and header rendering
- Virtualized viewport rendering
- Selectable rows, columns and cells
- Resizable rows and columns
- Editable headers and cells
- Integrated header and context menus

## Basic usage

To create a table, you must define the rows and columns. Add children to the `Table` to create columns,
and change the `numRows` prop on the `Table` to set the number of rows.

For example, this code creates an empty table with three columns and five rows:

```ts copy
import { Column, Table } from "@blueprintjs/table";

<Table numRows={5}>
    <Column />
    <Column />
    <Column />
</Table>;
```

The table is **data-agnostic**. It doesn't store any data internally, so it is up to you to bind the table to your data.

You can specify how the data is displayed by defining the `cellRenderer` prop on each `Column` component.
This is useful when working with typed columnar data, like database results.

For example, this creates a table that renders dollar and euro values:

```tsx
import { Cell, Column, Table } from "@blueprintjs/table";

const dollarCellRenderer = (rowIndex: number) => <Cell>{`$${(rowIndex * 10).toFixed(2)}`}</Cell>;
const euroCellRenderer = (rowIndex: number) => <Cell>{`€${(rowIndex * 10 * 0.85).toFixed(2)}`}</Cell>;

<Table numRows={10}>
    <Column name="Dollars" cellRenderer={dollarCellRenderer} />
    <Column name="Euros" cellRenderer={euroCellRenderer} />
</Table>;
```
