Getting Started with React Table Component
Smart UI React targets React 18+ and current Node LTS for tooling; use TypeScript templates when you want typed props and events.
Demo source (Smart UI repo): react/source/table/basic/App.jsx
1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app
npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-smart-app
thennpm install
2 Install Smart UI for React
npm install smart-webcomponents-react
3 Import styles and render the component
Open src/App.tsx (or App.jsx if you chose JavaScript). The snippet below matches Smart UI React demos for this widget:
import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import './App.css';
import React from "react";
import { Table } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/table';
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<div className="demo-description">
Our Table web component can be used to wrap or replace standard Tables
and add different styles, hover effects, sorting by one or multiple columns,
add, remove and update rows.
</div>
<Table id="table">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Country</th>
<th scope="col">Area</th>
<th scope="col">Population_Rural</th>
<th scope="col">Population_Total</th>
<th scope="col">GDP_Total</th>

};
export default App;
4 Run the dev server
npm run dev
Open the URL Vite prints (often http://localhost:5173/).
Troubleshooting
- What is the difference between Grid and Table?
- Table is lighter-weight for simpler tabular data, while Grid provides advanced features like virtual scrolling, complex editing, and grouping.
TypeScript Support
Types ship with smart-webcomponents-react. Import the component and prop types:
import type { Table, TableProps } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/table';
The generated wrappers expose on* callbacks (for example onChange) whose arguments are standard DOM Event values unless the widget typings narrow them further.
Accessibility
The Table component follows WAI-ARIA best practices:
- Keyboard navigation - Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, and Escape are supported
- ARIA roles - Appropriate roles and labels are applied automatically
- Focus management - Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
- Screen readers - State changes are announced to assistive technology
- High contrast - Supports Windows High Contrast Mode and forced colors
For custom labeling, set aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on the component.
Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
