table

A responsive table component.

Philosophy

HTML tables are semantically powerful but visually bland. Our Table components add consistent styling while preserving the native table structure - <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, <th>, <td> - because screen readers depend on these elements for data navigation. For interactive features like sorting and filtering, see Data Table.

Examples

Data Table

You can use the <Table /> component to build more complex data tables. Combine it with @gentleduck/table to create tables with sorting, filtering and pagination.

See the Data Table documentation for more information.

You can also see data-table examples in the Blocks Library.

Component Composition

RTL Support

Direction is resolved through the shared primitives direction module. Use a local dir="rtl" override when the component exposes it, or set DirectionProvider at app/root level for global RTL/LTR behavior.

Motion

Alpha: Motion Compositions

Motion components work standalone, but some compositions may behave unexpectedly — this is still under active development. If you find a broken composition, please file an issue.

Use MotionTable and MotionTableRow for staggered entrance animations powered by motion. The table fades in with scale and blur, and each row staggers by 50ms via the index prop.

Requires the motion package. Use MotionTable instead of Table and MotionTableRow instead of TableRow. All other sub-components stay the same. The regular components are perfectly fine - this is an optional enhancement.
