Render Table Data In React.js (Coding, Template Literals, JSON, Data as Props, JavaScript Objects)
Wondering how to render data in a table in ReactJS? 👨💻💭
In this episode of the Tech Stack Playbook, I break down 5 data formats (including arrays, JavaScript objects, and JSON data) and show you how to render them in a table with ReactJS, one of the most popular frameworks for building progressive web applications. I noticed that the documentation is sparse sometimes of how to organize information in lists for the front end.
I also noticed how difficult it can be to find this information when you are building an app, so my goal is to show you not just one, not just two, not just three, but 5 specific use-cases of data visualization for a table based on different types of data you may be presented:
1. Hard Coding a Table
2. Using Variables/Template Literals
3. Passing in Data As Props into a Table
4. Passing in a JSON Data File into a Table
5. Passing in JavaScript Objects into a table with spread operators in ReactJS
