Question: Tree Data

[cr101]

Does this table component have a tree data feature that could be used for data that has nested relations?

It depends on exactly what you are trying to do. As in the data-as-objects example. you can have nested data that you can format into new columns. If you mean, like some sequence of expandable rows that further nest data, then not out of the box, though with a lot of work, you can create these customizations yourself using renderExpandableRow and nesting other tables inside, though this gets very messy.

At its core, this library is intended to build on the material concept of data tables, which is a fundamentally 2-dimensional abstraction.

@gabrielliwerant I'm looking for something like this

Hi, a feature like this could be nice.
If I understand correctly @cr101 needs a nested row (or a 2nd level row) like the main one. The nested row needs to be showed, selected and must be responsive on click events like the 1st level one.
I imagine that the columns could be reactive on sorting too.

@cr101 is this correct?

@gabrielliwerant I know that the library is intended to build the material 2-dimensional concept of tables but I'm asking if there are a way to do more.

This is related with #904.

This isn't a feature I'm planning to support at this time. I would maybe take another look at it once critical issues are taken care of, there's a lot more testing, and the table is compatible with later versions of material ui and react.

We need this too. Any guidance on how we can implement this feature?

@cr101 Please have this feature. Would love to have this.

A bit late to the party, but I stumbled upon this problem and found a quick solution. You can pretty much make it look native this way.

Basically, I have nested arrays of objects that I render on a new MUIDataTable, and I pass the array to the nested table.
