I have a datatable that has expandable rows with two datatable elements in them. For the life of me I can't get the column headers to show up in the nested tables.

I can't see anything that is preventing my column headers from showing up. I was able to duplicate the same effect by pasting the example datatable to the expansion template (see below).

Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

Thanks.


Here's the row detail component:

Code: Select all

import React from 'react'
import { apiCall } from '../../common/api'
import { debugLog, errorTypes } from '../../common/global'
import {ProgressBar} from 'primereact/progressbar'
// import { showGrowl, growlTypes } from '../../common/Growls'
import {Growl} from 'primereact/growl'
import {DataTable} from 'primereact/datatable'
import { Column } from 'primereact/column';



export default class JobDetail extends React.Component{
    constructor() {
        super()
        this.state = {
           apiCallComplete: false,  
           project: {},
           detailRows: [],
           tasks: [],

        }
        this.fetchData = this.fetchData.bind(this)
    }

    fetchData() {
        const {job, token} = this.props


        // get project detail
        apiCall('fetchTable', 'returnTable', `view_project_detail where "ProjectID" = ${job.ProjectID}`, token)
        .then( payload => {
            debugLog("Jobs.js", "Fetch project detail", payload)
            let projectDetailDataTableRows = []

            if (payload.data.rows[0].ProjectID === job.ProjectID) {
                for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(payload.data.rows[0])) {
                    if (key === 'lastchecktime') {
                        
                    }
                    switch(key){
                        case 'lastchecktime':
                            if (value) {
                                const date = new Date(value)
                                value = date.toString()
                            }    
                            break
                        case 'Complete' :
                            (value) ? value = 'Yes' : value = 'No'
                            break
                        default :
                            break
                            
                    }
                    projectDetailDataTableRows.push({projectAttribute: key, projectValue: value})
                }
                this.setState({project: payload.data.rows[0], detailRows: projectDetailDataTableRows})

        //        showGrowl(growlTypes.GROWL_TOKEN_EXPIRED, this.growl)
        })

        // get task detail
        apiCall('fetchTable', 'returnTable', `view_tasks where "ProjectID" = ${job.ProjectID}`, token)
        .then( payload => {
            debugLog('JobDetail.js', 'fetch task detail ', payload)
            this.setState({ apiCallComplete: true , tasks: payload.data.rows })

        })
        .catch( error => {})
    }

    }
}

export const JobsWithCookies = withCookies(Jobs)








I have tried pasting the example datatable component as the expanded row detail with the same results

Code: Select all

    rowExpansionTemplate = data => {
        return(
            <DataTable value={this.state.cars}>
                <Column field="vin" header="Vin" />
                <Column field="year" header="Year" />
                <Column field="brand" header="Brand" />
                <Column field="color" header="Color" />
            </DataTable>
            )

It looks like the <th> that gets rendered by the <DataTable> is inheriting the css from the t-body of the parent table. They are hiding the column name from each of the body cells, thus hiding the column names in the nested datatable.

Code: Select all

	.p-datatable-responsive .p-datatable-tbody>tr>td .p-column-title {
		display: none;
	}

Hi,

This issue is fixed for the next version. But, the expanded table doesn't support responsive feature. Please create a github issue for this.

Best Regards

Create an issue specifically for responsive nested table support?

I am experiencing the same issue. The nested DataTable under a expandata DataTable row is not showing Header names. Is there a posible workaround to fix this?

This is how I worked around the issue:

I created a dataview to simulate a grid. See below:

It's basically a flexgrid for the column headers and then a dataview that has a matching flexgrid for the rows. This is my workaround until they release the update.

From render():

Code: Select all

                    <div>
                    <div className="p-grid">
                        <div className="p-md-2">Task</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">Job</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">% Time Required</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">Budgeted Hours</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">Start Date</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">Task Weeks</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">End Date</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">Complete</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1"></div> 
                    </div>
                        <DataView 
                            value={this.state.viewData} 
                            layout={this.state.layout} 
                            itemTemplate={this.itemTemplate} 
                        />
                    </div>



Item Template:

Code: Select all

    itemTemplate(row) {
        const startDate = new Date(row.StartDate)
        const endDate = new Date(row.EndDate)
        const { type } = this.props

        switch (type) {
            case 'Staffing' :
                return(
                    <div className="p-grid p-flex">
                        <div className="p-md-2">{row.Task}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">{row.Project}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{(row.PctTimeRqd*100).toPrecision(3)}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{row.Hours}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{startDate.toDateString()}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{row.TaskWeeks.toPrecision(3)}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">{endDate.toDateString()}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{(row.Complete) ? "Yes" : "No"}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">
                            <Button icon="pi pi-pencil" onClick={() => this.handleShowPopUp(row)}></Button> 
                        </div> 
                    </div>
                )
            case 'Jobs' :
                return(
                    <div className="p-grid p-flex">
                        <div className="p-md-2">{row.Task}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">{row.employee}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{(row.PctTimeRqd*100).toPrecision(3)}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{row.Hours}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{startDate.toDateString()}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{row.TaskWeeks.toPrecision(3)}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-2">{endDate.toDateString()}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">{(row.Complete) ? "Yes" : "No"}</div> 
                        <div className="p-md-1">
                            <Button icon="pi pi-pencil" onClick={() => this.handleShowPopUp(row)}></Button> 
                        </div> 
                    </div>
                )
            default :
                    return(<div></div>)
        }
}

thanks for the reply.

I was also able to fix this by adding an exception to the header under the expanded row.
I added this line of code to the css file of the component.

Code: Select all

.p-datatable-responsive .p-datatable-tbody>tr>td .p-datatable-thead .p-column-title {
    display: block;
}
I hope it helps.

That does help. I try to stay away from css at all costs haha. Your solution looks extremely straightforward though.
