Question 1

How to add a custom date range picker in antd-data-table?

Accepted Answer

Use the custom renderer feature in searchFields by defining a renderer function that returns a RangePicker component from antd. This allows you to wrap it with form decorators and handle validation, similar to the out-of-the-box types but with more flexibility.

Question 2

antd-data-table vs standard antd Table: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

antd-data-table is ideal if you need integrated search forms, row actions, and reduced boilerplate for common patterns. However, for full control, customization, or if not using antd v2.x, the standard antd Table might be a better fit, as it avoids the abstraction layer.

Question 3

How to handle server-side data fetching with antd-data-table?

Accepted Answer

Implement the onSearch function to fetch data from a server, passing page, pageSize, and form values as parameters. Return a promise with dataSource and total, as shown in the simplest data table example with axios.

Question 4

Can I use antd-data-table with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the package includes TypeScript definitions, evident from the examples using types like SearchField[] and TableColumnConfig[]. This makes it easy to integrate into TypeScript projects with type safety.

Question 5

How to implement batch delete functionality in antd-data-table?

Accepted Answer

Use the plugin system to add a custom component that operates on selected rows. Create a plugin that renders a delete button, call an API in its action to delete records, and use clearSelection to reset the selection after the operation.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of using antd-data-table with large datasets?

Accepted Answer

Since it adds an abstraction layer on top of antd Table, monitor performance with efficient data fetching in onSearch and proper pagination. For very large datasets, consider antd's built-in optimizations or virtual scrolling, as antd-data-table doesn't introduce extra performance features.
