feathers-react

A Feathers real-time React component library to display data

Install

npm install --save feathers-react

Documentation

feathers-react consists of just a handful of React Components to help you display data coming from your Feathers API in real-time. Make sure to go through the channels docs to set up real-time events, otherwise the components won't update automagically.

Table props

Name	Description	Required	Default value
service	The Feathers service to get data from.	Yes	undefined
query	A Feathers query object to run against the specified service.	No	{}
keyProp	The result's property to use as key.	No	'id'
onRowClick	Click event handler for a table row. The function takes two arguments: the row's data and its index.	No	(row, index) => {}
sortable	A Boolean that determines wether a header can be clicked to sort results	No	undefined
onDataChange	A callback Function that is invoked after the table's data changed	No	undefined
countTemplate	A string to use as template for showing items count. For example, 'Showing {start} to {end} of {total}' would render something like Showing 1 to 10 of 25.	No	undefined
language	The locale name to render translated text. Supported locales are ['fr_FR', 'en_US', 'es_ES'].	No	'en_US'
usePagination	Determines wether to use the <Pagination /> component.	No	true
paginationProps	An Object to override rc-pagination's props.	No	undefined

Column props

Name	Description	Required	Default value
dataSource	The result's property to extract data from.	Only when render is not defined	undefined
render	A render function that takes two arguments: the data for the column and the row's data. For example, imageUrl => <img src={imageUrl} /> would render an image in the table cell.	No	undefined
title	A string to use as the header for the column.	No	undefined
width	The column's visual width, in pixels.	No	undefined

Example

In this simple example, the <Table /> component takes a client prop which is a Feathers client.

import React from 'react';
import { Column, Table } from 'feathers-react';
import 'feathers-react/style.css';

export default ({ client }) => {
  const service = client.service('some-service');
  const query = { $sort: { name: 1 } };

  return (
    <Table service={service} query={query}>
      <Column
        title="Image"
        dataSource="imageUrl"
        render={(data, row) => (
          <img alt={row.name} src={data} />
        )} />
      <Column
        title="Name"
        dataSource="name" />
    </Table>
  );
};

Container props

The <Container /> component is a generic wrapper that you can use to present data in a different format than tabular. It shares most props with the <Table /> component, the main difference is that it doesn't take any children, but has a renderItem prop to render data.

Name	Description	Required	Default value
service	The Feathers service to get data from.	Yes	undefined
query	A Feathers query object to run against the specified service.	No	{}
emptyState	An HTMLElement, React component, or String to render when there are no results.	No	undefined
keyProp	The result's property to use as key.	No	'id'
renderItem	A render function that can return a React component. The function takes two arguments: the row's data and its index.	Yes	(row, index) => <SomeComponent key={row.id} data={row} />
itemsWrapper	An HTMLElement or React component that will wrap rendered children.	No	undefined
separator	A render function to use as a separator. It takes one argument: the current result being iterated. It requires both: itemsWrapper and query.$sort to be defined.	No	undefined
countTemplate	A string to use as template for showing items count. For example, 'Showing {start} to {end} of {total}' would render something like Showing 1 to 10 of 25.	No	undefined
language	The locale name to render translated text. Supported locales are ['fr_FR', 'en_US', 'es_ES'].	No	'en_US'
usePagination	Determines wether to use the <Pagination /> component.	No	false
hidePaginationOnSinglePage	Hides the pagination component when there's only one page of data	No	undefined
paginationProps	An Object to override rc-pagination's props.	No	undefined

Example

import React from 'react';
import { Container } from 'feathers-react';
import 'feathers-react/style.css';
import Message from './message';

export default ({ client }) => {
  const service = client.service('messages');
  const query = { $sort: { author: 1 } };

  return (
    <Container
      service={service}
      query={query}
      itemsWrapper={<div className="messages-wrapper" />}
      separator={message => <h3>Messages by {message.author}</h3>}
      renderItem={message => (
        <Message key={message.id} message={message} />
      )} />
  );
};
