Implementing Dynamic Table in React

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Feb 10, 2023

Solution Kit

Dynamic tables change their shape based on the addition or deletion of input. We can create a dynamic table in react by using JSON. It will be an easy approach as the table will dynamically add rows and columns in addition to JSON object data, so we do not need to add static rows and columns. We must follow a simple algorithm for creating the dynamic table:

Create a JSON array of data
Create a Dynamic Table Component
Render Dynamic Table Component. This can be done by using the render function.
render(): It is used to redirect a page to some other page. It provides help in displaying specific views in the UI by using specific render function logic and returning the result.

Dynamic Tables can be used to maintain records of students in a school. Whenever a new student is admitted, a new JSON object data will be created and added to the table.

The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
React version-18.2.0.

Using this solution, we are able to implement dynamic table in react with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to implement dynamic table in react.
