ra-editable-datagrid
The default react-admin user-experience consists of 3 pages: List, Edit, and Create. However, in some cases, users may prefer to do all search and edition tasks in one page. This package offers an "edit-in-place" experience in a <Datagrid>
.
Test it live in the Enterprise Edition Storybook and in the e-commerce demo.
Users can click on a row in the datagrid to replace the row with an edition form, and edit the corresponding record without leaving the list. They can also create new records by clicking on the Create button, which inserts an empty editable row as the first line of the list. Finally, they can delete a record by clicking on the Delete button on each row.
Installation
npm install --save @react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid
# or
yarn add @react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid
Tip: ra-editable-datagrid
is part of the React-Admin Enterprise Edition, and hosted in a private npm registry. You need to subscribe to one of the Enterprise Edition plans to access this package.
Usage
Use <EditableDatagrid>
inside a react-admin <List>
or <ReferenceManyField>
.
It expects the same props as <Datagrid>
, plus 4 more props:
editForm
: a component to display instead of a row when the users edits a recordcreateForm
: a component to display as the first row when the user creates a recordundoable
: whether the edit and delete actions are undoable. Defaults to false.noDelete
: disable the inline Delete button
The <EditableDatagrid>
component renders the editForm
and createForm
elements in a <table>
, so these elements should render a <tr>
. We advise you to use the <RowForm>
component for editForm
and createForm
.
Note: No need to include an <EditButton>
as child, the <EditableDatagrid>
component adds a column with edit/delete/save/cancel buttons itself.
Note: To display a create button on top of the list, you should add the hasCreate
prop to the <List>
component.
Note: To be able to add a new row when the list is empty, you need to bypass the default <List>
empty page system by following empty={false}
as <List>
prop.
import React from 'react';
import {
List,
ListProps,
TextField,
TextInput,
DateField,
DateInput,
SelectField,
SelectInput,
required,
} from 'react-admin';
import {
EditableDatagrid,
RowForm,
RowFormProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const ArtistList = (props: ListProps) => (
<List {...props} hasCreate empty={false}>
<EditableDatagrid
undoable
createForm={<ArtistForm />}
editForm={<ArtistForm />}
>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextField source="firstname" />
<TextField source="name" />
<DateField source="dob" label="born" />
<SelectField
source="prof"
label="Profession"
choices={professionChoices}
/>
</EditableDatagrid>
</List>
);
const ArtistForm = (props: RowFormProps) => (
<RowForm {...props}>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput
source="prof"
label="Profession"
choices={professionChoices}
/>
</RowForm>
);
import React from "react";
import { List, TextField, TextInput, DateField, DateInput, SelectField, SelectInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
const ArtistList = (props) => (
<List {...props} hasCreate empty={false}>
<EditableDatagrid undoable createForm={<ArtistForm />} editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextField source="firstname" />
<TextField source="name" />
<DateField source="dob" label="born" />
<SelectField source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</EditableDatagrid>
</List>
);
const ArtistForm = (props) => (
<RowForm {...props}>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</RowForm>
);
Here is another example, illustrating the usage of an <EditableDatagrid>
inside a <ReferenceManyField>
. The only difference with its usage in a <List>
is that you have to initialize the foreign key in the create form using the initialValues
prop:
import React from 'react';
import {
Edit,
EditProps,
SimpleForm,
TextField,
DateField,
NumberField,
ReferenceManyField,
TextInput,
DateInput,
NumberInput,
required,
} from 'react-admin';
import {
EditableDatagrid,
RowForm,
RowFormProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const OrderEdit = ({ id, ...props }: EditProps) => (
<Edit {...props} id={id}>
<SimpleForm>
<ReferenceManyField
fullWidth
label="Products"
reference="products"
target="order_id"
>
<EditableDatagrid
undoable
createForm={
<ProductForm initialValues={{ order_id: id }} />
}
editForm={<ProductForm />}
rowClick="edit"
hasCreate
>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextField source="name" />
<NumberField source="price" label="Default Price" />
<DateField source="available_since" />
</EditableDatagrid>
</ReferenceManyField>
<DateInput source="purchase_date" />
</SimpleForm>
</Edit>
);
const ProductForm = (props: RowFormProps) => (
<RowForm {...props}>
<TextField source="id" disabled />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<NumberInput
source="price"
label="Default Price"
validate={required()}
/>
<DateInput source="available_since" validate={required()} />
</RowForm>
);
import React from "react";
import {
Edit,
SimpleForm,
TextField,
DateField,
NumberField,
ReferenceManyField,
TextInput,
DateInput,
NumberInput,
required,
} from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
const OrderEdit = ({ id, ...props }) => (
<Edit {...props} id={id}>
<SimpleForm>
<ReferenceManyField fullWidth label="Products" reference="products" target="order_id">
<EditableDatagrid
undoable
createForm={<ProductForm initialValues={{ order_id: id }} />}
editForm={<ProductForm />}
rowClick="edit"
hasCreate
>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextField source="name" />
<NumberField source="price" label="Default Price" />
<DateField source="available_since" />
</EditableDatagrid>
</ReferenceManyField>
<DateInput source="purchase_date" />
</SimpleForm>
</Edit>
);
const ProductForm = (props) => (
<RowForm {...props}>
<TextField source="id" disabled />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<NumberInput source="price" label="Default Price" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="available_since" validate={required()} />
</RowForm>
);
In these examples, the same form component is used in createForm
and editForm
, but you can pass different forms (e.g. if some fields can be set at creation but not changed afterwards).
<RowForm>
<RowForm>
renders a table row with one cell per child. That means that <RowForm>
and <EditableDatagrid>
should have the same number of children, and these children should concern the same source
.
If you want to avoid the edition of a column, use a <Field>
component instead of an <Input>
component (like the <TextField>
in the example above).
Any additional props passed to <RowForm>
are passed to the underlying react-final-form <Form>
component. That means that you can pass e.g. initialValues
, subscription
, or validate
props. Refer to the <Form>
props documentation for more details.
import { RowForm, RowFormProps } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const ArtistForm = props => (
<RowForm initialValues={{ firstname: 'John', name: 'Doe' }} {...props}>
<TextField source="id" disabled />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
</RowForm>
);
import { RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
const ArtistForm = (props) => (
<RowForm initialValues={{ firstname: "John", name: "Doe" }} {...props}>
<TextField source="id" disabled />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
</RowForm>
);
Using a Custom Row Form
<RowForm>
is just a component rendering a <Form>
with a list of inputs in table cells. You can choose to use your own component in createForm
and editForm
. Here is a version of the previous editable datagrid without <RowForm>
:
import React, { ReactElement } from 'react';
import {
List,
ListProps,
TextField,
TextInput,
DateField,
DateInput,
SelectField,
SelectInput,
required,
} from 'react-admin';
import { Form } from 'react-final-form';
import { TableRow, TableCell, Checkbox } from '@material-ui/core';
import {
EditableDatagrid,
SaveRowButton,
CancelEditButton,
RowFormProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const ArtistForm = (props: RowFormProps) => {
const {
record,
id,

} = props;

);
};
const ArtistList = (props: ListProps) => (

);
import React from "react";
import { List, TextField, TextInput, DateField, DateInput, SelectField, SelectInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { Form } from "react-final-form";
import { TableRow, TableCell, Checkbox } from "@material-ui/core";

<EditableDatagrid undoable createForm={<ArtistForm />} editForm={<ArtistForm />} rowClick="edit">

<TextField source="name" />
<DateField source="dob" label="born" />
<SelectField source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</EditableDatagrid>
</List>
);
Providing Custom Side Effects
Like other forms in react-admin, you can provide your own side effects in response to successful or failed actions by passing functions to the onSuccess
or onFailure
props:
import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput, useNotify } from 'react-admin';
import {
RowForm,
RowFormProps,
useCreateRowContext,
useEditRowContext,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const ArtistEditForm = (props: RowFormProps) => {
const notify = useNotify();
const { close } = useEditRowContext();
const handleSuccess = response => {
notify(
`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been updated`
);
close();
};
return (
<RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput
source="prof"
label="Profession"
choices={professionChoices}
/>
</RowForm>
);
};
const ArtistCreateForm = (props: RowFormProps) => {
const notify = useNotify();
const { close } = useCreateRowContext();
const handleSuccess = response => {
notify(
`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been added`
);
close();
};
return (
<RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput
source="prof"
label="Profession"
choices={professionChoices}
/>
</RowForm>
);
};
import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput, useNotify } from "react-admin";
import { RowForm, useCreateRowContext, useEditRowContext } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
const ArtistEditForm = (props) => {
const notify = useNotify();
const { close } = useEditRowContext();
const handleSuccess = (response) => {
notify(`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been updated`);
close();
};
return (
<RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
<TextField source="id" />
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</RowForm>
);
};
const ArtistCreateForm = (props) => {
const notify = useNotify();
const { close } = useCreateRowContext();
const handleSuccess = (response) => {
notify(`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been added`);
close();
};
return (
<RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</RowForm>
);
};
Note that we provide two additional side effects hooks: useEditRowContext
and useCloseCreateRow
which allows you to close the form.
Tip: If you use useNotify
inside an onSuccess
side effect for an Edit form in addition to the <EditableDatagrid undoable>
prop, you will need to set the notification as undoable for the changes to take effects. Also, note that, on undoable forms, the onSuccess
side effect will be called immediately, without any response
argument.
const handleSuccess = () => {
notify('Artist has been updated', undefined, undefined, true);
close();
};
const handleSuccess = () => {
notify("Artist has been updated", undefined, undefined, true);
close();
};
Besides, the <RowForm>
also accept a function for its transform
prop allowing you to alter the data before sending it to the dataProvider:
import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput } from 'react-admin';
import { RowForm, RowFormProps } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
const ArtistCreateForm = (props: RowFormProps) => {
const handleTransform = data => {
return {
...data,
fullName: `${data.firstName} ${data.name}`,
};
};
return (
<RowForm transform={handleTransform} {...props}>
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput
source="prof"
label="Profession"
choices={professionChoices}
/>
</RowForm>
);
};
import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput } from "react-admin";
import { RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
const ArtistCreateForm = (props) => {
const handleTransform = (data) => {
return {
...data,
fullName: `${data.firstName} ${data.name}`,
};
};
return (
<RowForm transform={handleTransform} {...props}>
<TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
<TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
<DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
<SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
</RowForm>
);
};
