Introduction
In this lab, we will explore how to use React to dynamically render a table with rows created from an array of primitives. Specifically, we will utilize the Array.prototype.map()
method to map each item in the data array to a <tr>
element with an appropriate key and display it in a table with two columns: ID and Value. By the end of this lab, you will gain a better understanding of how to use React to create dynamic and responsive tables.
Data Table
index.html
andscript.js
have already been provided in the VM. In general, you only need to add code toscript.js
andstyle.css
.
Create a table element with two columns, ID
and Value
, where each row is generated dynamically from an array of primitive values.
To accomplish this, use the Array.prototype.map()
method to create a new array of JSX elements representing each item in the input data
array as a <tr>
element with an appropriate key
. Within each <tr>
, add two <td>
elements to display the row's index and value respectively.
Here's an example implementation:
const DataTable = ({ data }) => {
return (
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{data.map((val, i) => (
<tr key={`${i}_${val}`}>
<td>{i}</td>
<td>{val}</td>
</tr>
))}
</tbody>
</table>
);
};
To use this component with an array of people's names, for example, you can call it as follows:
const people = ["John", "Jesse"];
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
<DataTable data={people} />
);
