Topic: MDBDataTable - mdbreact - Hidden Sorting Arrows Issue

amani.farag free asked 4 years ago


Dears, Thanks to solve with me the following issue, I'm using MDBDataTable in my react app but sorting arrows not appear in the table heading (hidden) but its function working fine, I want only show them.

the DataTable code:

import React from 'react'; import "./dataTable.css"; import { MDBDataTable } from 'mdbreact';

class DatatablePage extends React.Component {

constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
        rows: []
    };

}

render(){ const sessions = this.props.sessions;

let row = {};
const data = {
  columns: [
    {
      label: 'Session ID',
      field: 'session_id',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    },
    {
      label: 'Record Type',
      field: 'record_type',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    },
    {
      label: 'MAC Address',
      field: 'MAC_address',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    }
  ],
  rows: this.state.rows
};

sessions.forEach(session => 
  {
 row = {session_id: session[0], record_type: session[1], MAC_address: session[2]}; 
  console.log("row"+row);
  this.state.rows.push(row);
  console.log("rows"+this.state.rows);
  return;
  }

);

return (

/>

); } } export default DatatablePage;

Hi @amani.farag,

I test your code and it works perfectly in my environment.

Here is proof: enter image description here

Please delete from your project folder node_modules and package-lock.json or/and yarn.lock files Then fire yarn or npm i at the terminal. Please make sure that you import the required style at your index.js file. Here is how to do it properly: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/getting-started/quick-start/

In 90 % of these cases this solution works.

Let me know if my suggestion works with your project.

Best, Kuba

Dear Kuba, I tried your solution and it working fine right now really thank you :) ,

, but this project will run offline without internet in the future for security wise, if I removed node_modules; the APP will run normally without internet? and I already have imported the required style at my index.js file from the beginning.

Hi @amani.farag,

You delete node_modules and package-lock.json files and then install it again by running the command install i or yarn. So after this steps you should have node_modules directory again in your project. Without node_modules directory your project would not start.

After the development process, when you will be deploying your project to the internet you will need to build your application. You can find information how to do it in the official CRA documentation:

https://create-react-app.dev/docs/production-build

Best, Kuba

Nice to hear that everything is ok!

Sorry @amani.farag, but your code throws many errors. Please send me your fixed code via codepen or different code sandbox then I try to figure it out what's wrong with this. Please don't forget about your CSS file which you import :

e.g. : import './dataTable.css';

Best, Kuba

thanks Kuba for your reply, I uploaded my code "the part related to MDBDataTable" on sandbox and below is the link: https://codesandbox.io/s/cranky-meadow-q824e , thanks to help me to show the sorting arrows in the table header.

Hi @amani.farag,

Can you paste your code again? Something went wrong and the most important part is not available.

Best, Kuba


amani.farag free commented 4 years ago

thanks Kuba, Here you are the code:

import React from 'react'; import "./dataTable.css"; import { MDBDataTable } from 'mdbreact';

class DatatablePage extends React.Component {

constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
        rows: []
    };

}

render(){ const sessions = this.props.sessions;

let row = {};
const data = {
  columns: [
    {
      label: 'Session ID',
      field: 'session_id',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    },
    {
      label: 'Record Type',
      field: 'record_type',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    },
    {
      label: 'MAC Address',
      field: 'MAC_address',
      sort: 'asc',
      width: 200
    }
  ],
  rows: this.state.rows
};

sessions.forEach(session => 
  {
 row = {session_id: session[0], record_type: session[1], MAC_address: session[2]}; 
  console.log("row"+row);
  this.state.rows.push(row);
  console.log("rows"+this.state.rows);
  return;
  }

);

return (

/>

); } } export default DatatablePage;


amani.farag free commented 4 years ago

the missing part,

return (

/>

); } } export default DatatablePage;


amani.farag free commented 4 years ago

I noticed that return not appear all the times so this is the return part:

 striped
  bordered
  hover
  small
  data={data}
  searching={true}

);}}export default DatatablePage;
