Solution Kit
An editable table is one that can be edited as per the user’s requirements. A table displays a particular set of data in rows and columns. We can add or delete the tuples or columns. We can also change the style of the table by adjusting the width, colors, etc. For creating an editable table, we can use the useState hook of ReactJs that allows you to have local/state variables to functional components.
- The function takes the initial state as a parameter and returns a variable and a required function to update that state.
- Initially, the table will be in non-edit mode. On clicking the Edit button, the table will be in editing mode, which means you can add or delete as many tuples as you need.
- We can also edit the content of the table by selecting a particular cell.
- We can also add an alert message displayed when the user saves the data or a confirmation message if the user clicks on the delete button.
There are many uses for Editable tables. Hospitals can use them to maintain records of their patients, OR schools/ colleges to keep records of students. When a new student is admitted, a new record can be added, and when someone leaves the school, that record can be deleted.
For creating an editable table using ReactJS, look at the code below.
