Examples​

Selecting Specific Columns​

<DataTable data={query_name} search=true>
    <Column id=date/>
    <Column id=country title="Country Name"/>
    <Column id=value_usd/>
</DataTable>

Displaying All Columns in Query​

<DataTable data={query_name} search=true/>

Including Images​

<DataTable data={countries}>
    <Column id=flag contentType=image height=30px align=center />
    <Column id=country />
    <Column id=country_id align=center />
    <Column id=category />
    <Column id=value_usd />
</DataTable>
<DataTable data={countries}>
    <Column id=country_url contentType=link linkLabel=country />
    <Column id=country_id align=center />
    <Column id=category />
    <Column id=value_usd />
</DataTable>
<DataTable data={countries}>
    <Column id=country />
    <Column id=country_id align=center />
    <Column id=category />
    <Column id=value_usd />
    <Column id=country_url contentType=link linkLabel="Details &rarr;" />
</DataTable>

This example includes a column country_url which contains a country name as a search term in Google (e.g., https://google.ca/search?q=canada)

<DataTable data={countries} search=true link=country_url>
    <Column id=country />
    <Column id=country_id align=center />
    <Column id=category />
    <Column id=value_usd />
</DataTable>

In this example, the SQL query contains a column with links to parameterized pages in the project. Below is an example of the SQL that could be used to generate such links:

select 
    fed_reserve_district as name, 
    CONCAT("/parameterized-pages/", fed_reserve_district) as district_link,
    count(distinct institution_name) as distinct_institutions,
from `bigquery-public-data.fdic_banks.institutions`
group by 1

You can then use the link property of the DataTable to use your link column as a row link (district_link in this example):

<DataTable 
    data={federal_reserve_districts} 
    link=district_link
/>

By default, the link column of your table is hidden. If you would like it to be displayed in the table, you can use showLinkCol=true.

Styling​

Row Shading + Row Lines​

<DataTable 
    data={countries} 
    rowShading=true 
/>

Row Shading + No Row Lines​

<DataTable 
    data={countries} 
    rowShading=true 
    rowLines=false 
/>

No Lines or Shading​

<DataTable 
    data={countries} 
    rowLines=false 
/>

Column Alignment​

<DataTable data={query_name}>
    <Column id=country align=right />
    <Column id=country_id align=center />
    <Column id=category align=left />
    <Column id=value_usd align=left />
</DataTable>

Custom Column Titles​

<DataTable data={query_name}>
    <Column id=country title="Country Name" />
    <Column id=country_id align=center title="ID"/>
    <Column id=category align=center title="Product Category" />
    <Column id=value_usd title="Sales in 2022" />
</DataTable>

Raw Column Names​

<DataTable 
    data={query_name} 
    formatColumnTitles=false 
/>

Formatting​

Formatting is automatically applied based on the column names of your SQL query result. See the formatting section for more details.

Column​

Use the Column component to choose specific columns to display in your table, and to apply options to specific columns. If you don't supply any columns to the table, it will display all columns from your query result.

All Options​

  • id - column id (from SQL query)
  • title - (Optional) override title of column. Evidence will auto-format your column titles, but you can use this prop if the formatted column title is not what you would like
  • align - (Optional) left | center | right - align header and contents of column
  • contentType - (Optional) lets you specify how to treat the content within a column. Currently supports contentType=image and contentType=link. See below for contentType-specific options

Images​

contentType=image

  • height - (Optional) height of the image in pixels (e.g., 30px) - defaults to the original height of the image
  • width - (Optional) width of the image in pixels - defaults to the original width of the image
  • alt - (Optional) overrides the alt tag of the image. By default, the alt tag is the name of the image file (excluding the file extension). To override the alt tag, alt accepts a column name in your table

contentType=link

  • linkLabel - (Optional) text to show for the link. Can be a string (e.g., Link &rarr;) or a column name in your table (e.g., country_name)
  • openInNewTab - (Optional) true | false - on click, whether the link should open in a new tab (false by default - link will open in current tab)
