Topic: MDBDataTable ors arrows not showing in columns
Expected behavior
I am trying to get the sort arrow images to appear in the datatable.
Actual behavior
The sort arrow images do not appear in the columns despite me using the sortable property.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
<MDBDataTable
bordered
btn
sortable
noBottomColumns={true}
entriesLabel=""
data={this.state.data}
infoLabel={["", "", "", ""]}
entriesOptions={[]}
paginationLabel={["<", ">"]}
/>
let data2 = {
columns: [
{
label: "Resource No.",
field: "number",
sort: "asc",
width: 180,
},
{
label: "Resource Type",
field: "type",
sort: "asc",
width: 200,
},
{
label: "Resource Name",
field: "name",
sort: "asc",
width: 270,
},
{
label: "Offer Start Date",
field: "startDate",
sort: "asc",
width: 100,
},
{
label: "Offer End Date",
field: "endDate",
sort: "asc",
width: 150,
},
{
label: "Status",
field: "status",
sort: "asc",
width: 170,
},
],
rows: [],
};
From the website:
My development server:
I copied Your data and created MDBDataTable based on docs example. Sort arrow images normally appear in the header. Maybe it is a problem with custom styles if You are using any.
Here is my code:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { MDBDataTable } from "mdbreact";
class App extends Component {
render() {
let data2 = {
columns: [
{ label: "Resource No.", field: "number", sort: "asc", width: 180 },
{ label: "Resource Type", field: "type", sort: "asc", width: 200 },
{ label: "Resource Name", field: "name", sort: "asc", width: 270 },
{
label: "Offer Start Date",
field: "startDate",
sort: "asc",
width: 100,
},
{ label: "Offer End Date", field: "endDate", sort: "asc", width: 150 },
{ label: "Status", field: "status", sort: "asc", width: 170 },
],
rows: [],
};
return (
<MDBDataTable
bordered
btn
sortable
noBottomColumns={true}
entriesLabel=""
data={data2}
infoLabel={["", "", "", ""]}
entriesOptions={[]}
paginationLabel={["<", ">"]}
/>
);
}
}
export default App;

Looks like You store Your data in data2 variable, but datatable option is set for: {this.state.data}. This might be the problem.

@Wojciech Staniszewski why would the data I pass in have any effect on the columns? Also, I copy data2 to this.state.data so it is the exact same data being passed in.
