Keyboard Navigation for Rows

To enable keyboard navigation for rows, specify keyboardNavigation=“row”.

When row navigation is enabled, clicking a row highlights it and the user can use the arrow keys to navigate the table rows.

Click on the table and use the arrow keys to navigate the rows.

        />
      </DataSource>
    </>
  );
}

Note

Use ArrowUp and ArrowDown to navigate to the previous and next row.
Use PageUp and PageDown to navigate the rows vertically by pages (a page is considered equal to the visible row count).
Use Home and End to navigate vertically to the first and last row respectively

Other possible values for the keyboardNavigation prop, besides "row", are "cell" and false.

Using a default active row

You can also specify an initial active row, by using defaultActiveRowIndex=2. This tells the table that there should be a default active row, namely the one at index 2 (so the third row).

This example starts with row at index 2 already active.

Listening to active row changes

You can easily listen to changes in the row navigation by using the onActiveRowIndexChange callback.

Note

When you use controlled activeRowIndex, make sure to use onActiveRowIndexChange to update the prop value, as otherwise the component will not update on navigation

This example starts with row at index 2 already active and uses onActiveRowIndexChange to update activeRowIndex.

Theming

By default, the style of the element that highlights the active row is the same style as that of the element that highlights the active cell.

The easiest is to override the style is via those three CSS variables:

--infinite-active-cell-border-color--r - the red component of the border color
--infinite-active-cell-border-color--g - the green component of the border color
--infinite-active-cell-border-color--b - the blue component of the border color
The initial values for those are 77, 149 and215 respectively, so the border color is rgb(77, 149, 215).
In addition, the background color of the element that highlights the active row is set to the same color as the border color (computed based on the above r, g and b variables), but with an opacity of 0.25, configured via the --infinite-active-row-background-alpha CSS variable.
When the table is not focused, the opacity for the background color is set to 0.1, which is the default value of the --infinite-active-row-background-alpha--table-unfocused CSS variable.

Note

To summarize, use

--infinite-active-cell-border-color--r
--infinite-active-cell-border-color--g
--infinite-active-cell-border-color--b

to control border and background color of the active row highlight element.

No, it’s not a mistake that the element that highlights the active row is configured via the same CSS variables as the element that highlights the active cell. This is deliberate - so override CSS variables for cell, and those are propagated to the row highlight element.

There are other CSS variables as well, that give you fined-tuned control over both the border and background color for the active row, if you don’t want to use the above three variables to propagate the same color across both border and background.

--infinite-active-cell-background - the background color. If you use this, you need to set opacity yourself. Applied for both cell and row.
--infinite-active-row-background - the background color. If you use this, you need to set opacity yourself. If this is specified, it takes precendence over --infinite-active-cell-background
--infinite-active-cell-background - the background color. If you use this, you need to set opacity yourself. Applied for both cell and row.
--infinite-active-row-background - the background color. If this is specified, it takes precedence over --infinite-active-cell-background
--infinite-active-row-border - border configuration (eg:2px solid magenta). If you use this, it will not be propagated to the background color.

For more details on the CSS variables, see the CSS Variables documentation.
