Table

Semantic table primitives for composing headers, bodies, rows, and cells.

Like every gpui-base primitive, Table supplies behavior and semantic structure without imposing a product visual language. Apply GPUI styles and compose the exported parts to match your design system.

Example

The single native Cargo entrypoint selects this primitive from the shared showcase implementation. The same showcase is compiled once for the WASM preview above.

cargo run -p gpui-base --example components -- table

Import

use gpui_base::{Table, TableBody, TableCell, TableHead, TableHeader, TableRow};

Anatomy and API

The example composes Table, TableBody, TableCell, TableHead, TableHeader, TableRow. GPUI's standard styling and event traits provide presentation; these base types provide the interaction structure.

The authoritative module is components/table.rs. Native and browser previews compile this same file.

State and events

Rows and cells are stateless composition; sorting, selection, and mutations remain in the parent.

Keep controlled state on the parent render type or in a GPUI entity. Update it in callbacks and call cx.notify(); do not recreate persistent entities during every render.

Complete Rust example

The complete implementation used by the runnable showcase is embedded directly from Rust source:

use super::*;

impl BaseShowcase {
    pub(in super::super) fn table(&self) -> impl IntoElement {
        Table::new("example-table")
            .w_72()
            .text_xs()
            .border_1()
            .border_color(super::example_rgb(0xe5e7eb))
            .overflow_hidden()
            .child(
                TableHeader::new("header").child(
                    TableRow::new("header-row", 1)
                        .flex()
                        .bg(super::example_rgb(0xf5f5f5))
                        .child(
                            TableHead::new("name-head", 1)
                                .w(px(124.))
                                .px_2()
                                .py_1()
                                .child("Component"),
                        )
                        .child(
                            TableHead::new("status-head", 2)
                                .w(px(84.))
                                .px_2()
                                .py_1()
                                .child("Status"),
                        )
                        .child(
                            TableHead::new("version-head", 3)
                                .w(px(92.))
                                .px_2()
                                .py_1()
                                .child("Version"),
                        ),
                ),
            )
            .child(
                TableBody::new("body").children(
                    [
                        ("gpui-base", "Stable", "0.4.1"),
                        ("gpui-component", "Active", "0.4.1"),
                        ("story-web", "Preview", "0.2.8"),
                        ("gpui-web", "Beta", "0.1.0"),
                    ]
                    .into_iter()
                    .enumerate()
                    .map(|(ix, (name, status, version))| {
                        TableRow::new(("body-row", ix), ix)
                            .flex()
                            .border_t_1()
                            .border_color(super::example_rgb(0xe5e7eb))
                            .child(
                                TableCell::new("name", 1)
                                    .w(px(124.))
                                    .px_2()
                                    .py_1()
                                    .child(name),
                            )
                            .child(
                                TableCell::new(("status", ix), 2)
                                    .w(px(84.))
                                    .px_2()
                                    .py_1()
                                    .child(
                                        div()
                                            .px_1()
                                            .border_1()
                                            .border_color(super::example_rgb(0xd4d4d4))
                                            .child(status),
                                    ),
                            )
                            .child(
                                TableCell::new(("version", ix), 3)
                                    .w(px(92.))
                                    .px_2()
                                    .py_1()
                                    .text_color(super::example_rgb(0x737373))
                                    .child(version),
                            )
                    }),
                ),
            )
    }
}

The command above supplies application initialization, window creation, and shared BaseShowcase state.

Accessibility

Use headers, preserve reading order, and separately expose sort and selection controls.

Notes

Use stable element IDs where accepted. Verify focus, hover, active, selected, disabled, reduced-motion, and high-contrast appearances in the consuming design system.
