Master Detail - Collapsing and Expanding Rows

You can control the collapsed/expanded state of rows in the master-detail configuration.

By default, all row details are collapsed. You can very easily change this by using the defaultRowDetailState prop.

Specyfing the default row detail state
const defaultRowDetailState = {
  collapsedRows: true,
  expandedRows: [39, 54],
};

<InfiniteTable
  columns={...}
  defaultRowDetailState={defaultRowDetailState}
  rowDetailRenderer={...}

Master detail DataGrid with some row details expanded by default

Some of the rows in the master DataGrid are expanded by default.

Also, we have a default sort defined, by the country and city columns.

Understanding and defining the collapse/expand state for row details

When you want to specify a different collapse/expand state of the row details (since by default they are all collapsed, and you might want to expand some of them), you need to use the defaultRowDetailState prop, or its controlled counterpart - the rowDetailState prop.

The row detail state can be defined in two ways:

  • either specify collapsedRows: true (which means all rows are collapsed by default) and specify an array of expandedRows, which will contain the ids of the rows that should be rendered as expanded.
const defaultRowDetailState = {
  collapsedRows: true,
  expandedRows: ['id-1', 'id-2', 'id-56'],
};
  • or specify expandedRows: true (which means all rows are expanded by default) and specify an array of collapsedRows, which will contain the ids of the rows that should be rendered as collapsed.
const rowDetailState = {
  expandedRows: true,
  collapsedRows: ['id-1', 'id-2', 'id-56'],
};

You can pass these objects into either the defaultRowDetailState (uncontrolled) or the rowDetailState (controlled).

Note

If you're using the controlled rowDetailState prop, you'll need to respond to user interaction by listening to onRowDetailStateChange and updating the value of rowDetailState accordingly.

Note

As an alternative to using the object literals as specified above, you can import the RowDetailState class from @infinite-table/infintie-react and use it to define the state of the row details. You can pass instances of RowDetailState into the defaultRowDetailState or rowDetailState props.

Passing an instance of RowDetailState to the InfiniteTable
import { RowDetailState } from '@infinite-table/infinite-react';

const rowDetailState = new RowDetailState({
  collapsedRows: true,
  expandedRows: [2, 3, 4],
});

<InfiniteTable<DATA_TYPE> rowDetailState={rowDetailState}

Passing an object literal to the InfiniteTable
<InfiniteTable<DATA_TYPE>
  rowDetailState={{
    collapsedRows: true,
    expandedRows: [2, 3, 4],
  }}
/>

See our type definitions for more details on row detail state.

Master detail DataGrid with listener for row expand/collapse

Some of the rows in the master DataGrid are expanded by default.

We use the controlled rowDetailState prop to manage the state of the row details and update it by using onRowDetailStateChange.

Listening to row detail state changes

In order to be notified when the collapse/expand state of row details changes, you can use the onRowDetailStateChange prop.

Note

This function is called with only one argument - the new rowDetailState. Please note this is an instance of RowDetailState. If you want to use the object literal, make sure you call getState() on the instance of RowDetailState.

Using the onRowDetailStateChange listener
function App() {
  const [rowDetailState, setRowDetailState] = React.useState<RowDetailStateObject>({
    collapsedRows: true as const,
    expandedRows: [39, 54],
  });

  return <DataSource<DATA_TYPE> {...}>
    <InfiniteTable<DATA_TYPE>
      rowDetailState={rowDetailState}
      onRowDetailStateChange={(rowDetailStateInstance) => {
        setRowDetailState(rowDetailStateInstance.getState());
      }}
      columnMinWidth={50}
      columns={masterColumns}
      rowDetailHeight={200}
      rowDetailRenderer={renderDetail}
    />
  </DataSource>

When using the controlled rowDetailState, you'll need to respond to the user interaction by using the onRowDetailStateChange listener, in order to update the controlled rowDetailState.

This allows you to manage the state of the row details yourself - making it easy to expand/collapse all rows, or to expand/collapse a specific row by simply updating the value of the rowDetailState prop.

const [rowDetailState, setRowDetailState] =
  React.useState<RowDetailStateObject>({
    collapsedRows: true,
    expandedRows: [39, 54],
  });

const expandAll = () => {
  setRowDetailState({
    collapsedRows: [],
    expandedRows: true,
  });
};
const collapseAll = () => {
  setRowDetailState({
    collapsedRows: true,
    expandedRows: [],
  });
};

return (
  <>
    <button onClick={expandAll}>Expand All</button>
    <button onClick={collapseAll}>Collapse All</button>
    <InfiniteTable<DATA_TYPE> rowDetailState={rowDetailState} />
  </>

Note

If you prefer the more imperative approach, you can still use the Row Detail API to expand or collapse details for rows.
