Flutter DataGrid (DataTable) library

The Flutter DataTable or DataGrid is used to display and manipulate data in a tabular view. It is built from the ground up to achieve the best possible performance, even when loading large amounts data.

Disclaimer: This is a commercial package. To use this package, you need to have either a Syncfusion commercial license or Free Syncfusion Community license. For more details, please check the LICENSE file.

DataGrid features

Column types - Support to load any widget in a each column.

Flutter DataGrid shows different column types

Editing - Allows users to edit cell values. An editor widget can be loaded based on the column type to edit cell values.

Editing in Flutter DataGrid

Column sizing - Set the width of columns with various sizing options. Fit the columns based on the value of the cells to improve readability.

Row height - Set the height for header and data rows. Fit the rows based on the value of the cells to improve readability. Also, set the different height for specific rows.

Flutter DataGrid shows rows in auto-fit

Sorting - Sort one or more columns in the ascending or descending order.

Columns are sorted in flutter datagrid

Selection - Select one or more rows. Keyboard navigation is supported for web platforms. Built-in checkbox columns allow display of a checkbox in each row to select entire rows when the boxes are checked. Users can also select or deselect all the rows by selecting the checkbox in the header.

Flutter DataGrid shows rows with selection

Styling - Customize the appearance of cells and headers. Conditional styling is also supported.

Column resizing - Resize the columns by tapping and dragging the right border of the column header.

Paging - Load data in segments. It is useful when loading huge amounts of data.

Flutter DataGrid shows rows in page segments

Footer - Show an additional row that can be displayed below to last row. Widgets can also be displayed in the footer row.

Freeze Panes - Freeze the rows and columns when scrolling the grid.

First row and column are frozen in flutter datagrid

Swiping - Swipe a row right to left or left to right for custom actions such as deleting, editing, and so on. When the user swipes a row, the row will be moved and the swipe view will show the custom actions.

Pull to refresh - Allows users to refresh data when the DataGrid is pulled down.

Exporting - Export the DataGrid content, such as rows, stacked header rows, and table summary rows, to Excel and PDF format with several customization options.

Theme - Use a dark or light theme.

Accessibility - The DataGrid can easily be accessed by screen readers.

Right to Left (RTL) - Right-to-left direction support for users working in RTL languages like Hebrew and Arabic.

Installation

Install the latest version from pub.

Getting started

Import the following package.

import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_datagrid/datagrid.dart';

Creating Data for an application

The SfDataGrid is dependent upon data. Create a simple data source for SfDataGrid as shown in the following code example.

class Employee {
  Employee(this.id, this.name, this.designation, this.salary);
  final int id;
  final String name;
  final String designation;
  final int salary;
}

Create the collection of employee data with the required number of data objects. Here, the method used to populate the data objects is initialized in initState()

DataGridSource objects are expected to be long-lived, not re-created with each build.

List<Employee> employees = <Employee>[];

late EmployeeDataSource employeeDataSource;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  employees= getEmployees();
  employeeDataSource = EmployeeDataSource(employees: employees);
}

 List<Employee> getEmployees() {
  return[
  Employee(10001, 'James', 'Project Lead', 20000),
  Employee(10002, 'Kathryn', 'Manager', 30000),
  Employee(10003, 'Lara', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10004, 'Michael', 'Designer', 15000),
  Employee(10005, 'Martin', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10006, 'Newberry', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10007, 'Balnc', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10008, 'Perry', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10009, 'Gable', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10010, 'Grimes', 'Developer', 15000)
  ];
}

Creating DataSource for DataGrid

DataGridSource is used to obtain the row data for the SfDataGrid. So, create the data source from the DataGridSource and override the following APIs in it:

  • rows: Fetches the rows available for data population. Also, it is used to fetch the corresponding data object to process the selection. This contains the collection of DataGridRow where each row contains the collection of DataGridCell. Each cell should have the cell value in value property. value is used to perform the sorting for columns.

  • buildRow: Fetches the widget for each cell with DataGridRowAdapter.

class EmployeeDataSource extends DataGridSource {
  EmployeeDataSource({List<Employee> employees}) {
     _employees = employees
        .map<DataGridRow>((e) => DataGridRow(cells: [
              DataGridCell<int>(columnName: 'id', value: e.id),
              DataGridCell<String>(columnName: 'name', value: e.name),
              DataGridCell<String>(
                  columnName: 'designation', value: e.designation),
              DataGridCell<int>(columnName: 'salary', value: e.salary),
            ]))
        .toList();
  }

  List<DataGridRow>  _employees = [];

  @override
  List<DataGridRow> get rows =>  _employees;

  @override
  DataGridRowAdapter? buildRow(DataGridRow row) {
    return DataGridRowAdapter(
        cells: row.getCells().map<Widget>((dataGridCell) {
      return Container(
        alignment: (dataGridCell.columnName == 'id' || dataGridCell.columnName == 'salary')
            ? Alignment.centerRight
            : Alignment.centerLeft,
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
        child: Text(dataGridCell.value.toString()),
      );
    }).toList());
  }
}

Create an instance of DataGridSource and set this object to the source property of SfDataGrid.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Syncfusion DataGrid'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Expanded(
          child: SfDataGrid(
            source: _employeeDataSource,
          ),
        ),
      ));
}

Defining columns

SfDataGrid supports load any widget in columns. You can add the column collection to the columns property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: const Text('Syncfusion Flutter DataGrid'),
    ),
    body: SfDataGrid(
      source: employeeDataSource,
      columns: <GridColumn>[
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'id',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Text(
                  'ID',
                ))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'name',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                child: Text('Name'))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'designation',
            width: 120,
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                child: Text('Designation'))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'salary',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Text('Salary'))),
      ],
    ),
  );
}

The following screenshot illustrates the result of the above code sample.
