Highlight rows in MUI-Datatables


I created a simple table using React.js and MUI-Datatables:

import MUIDataTable from "mui-datatables";

const columns = ["Name", "Company", "City", "State"];

const data = [
 ["Joe James", "Test Corp", "Yonkers", "NY"],
 ["John Walsh", "Test Corp", "Hartford", "CT"],
 ["Bob Herm", "Test Corp", "Tampa", "FL"],
 ["James Houston", "Test Corp", "Dallas", "TX"],
];

const options = {
  filterType: 'checkbox',
};

<MUIDataTable
  title={"Employee List"}
  data={data}
  columns={columns}
  options={options}
/>

How can I add a custom CSS class to a single row inside the table. Lets say I want the second row with John Walsh to have a green background color.

Update:

Using customRowRender allows to style a certain row but I am still not 100% happy with the solution because certain features like selectable rows do not work out of the box anymore:

const options = {
    filterType: "checkbox",
    customRowRender: (data, dataIndex, rowIndex) => {
      let style = {};
      if (data[0] === "John Walsh") {
        style.backgroundColor = "green";
      }
      return (
        <TableRow style={style}>
          <TableCell />
          <TableCell>
            <Typography>{data[0]}</Typography>
          </TableCell>
          <TableCell>
            <Typography>{data[1]}</Typography>
          </TableCell>
          <TableCell>
            <Typography>{data[2]}</Typography>
          </TableCell>
          <TableCell>
            <Typography>{data[3]}</Typography>
          </TableCell>
        </TableRow>
      );
    }
  };

Solution

  • Here you go.

    setRowProps: row => { 
            if (row[0] === "New") {
              return {
                style: { background: "snow" }
              };
            }
          }
