Hello again! πŸ‘‹πŸ˜Š

In the comment section under my previous post there was quite a discussion about creating a more dynamic solution for dynamic tables in React, so here we are! πŸš€

Before we start, I would highly recommend you to check out runnable examples for the solution on our website:
How to create customized dynamic table in React (with dynamic header)

The final effect of this post:

In below example I used the following concept:

  • table is described by columns and data properties,
  • table is composed of header and some data records,
  • the column array allows us to decide which column names we want to display in the data rows,
  • using map() function we are able to reduce the amount of code – columns and data arrays are mapped into React components.

Remember that each record should have a unique key πŸ—οΈ β€” it helps React optimally manage changes in the DOM. Such a key may be, for example, the path assigned to each element of the table.

Practical example:
