How to Add a Routing Button in Material-Table with React

Creating dynamic and interactive applications can be a challenge, especially when it comes to user experience. One common requirement in web applications is to provide users with more detailed information that can be accessed by clicking on a button. This post will guide you through the process of adding a column with buttons to a Material-Table in your React application, allowing users to navigate to a new page that shows relevant details for each country listed in your table.

Understanding the Requirement

In your React project, you are displaying country data retrieved from a COVID-19 API using Material-Table. You want to enhance user experience by adding a button in each row of the table. When this button is clicked, it should take the user to a new page that provides further details about the selected country. This is a common requirement when displaying lists or tables of data where additional context is necessary for better understanding.

Implementing the Routing Button

To implement the routing function in your Material-Table component, you can utilize the actions prop provided by Material-Table. Below is a step-by-step guide to achieving this.

Step 1: Modify Your Material-Table Component

First, you need to define the actions that will appear in your table. You can achieve this by adding an actions array to your Material-Table component. Here's how you can structure your code:

Step 2: Explanation of the Code Changes

Defining the Actions:

The actions prop is an array that contains one or more action objects.

Each action can define an icon, tooltip, and onClick function that determines what happens when the button is clicked.

Setting Up the Button:

The button is defined with the icon 'info' which represents information, along with a tooltip saying "View Country Details".

The onClick callback function uses window.location.href to redirect the user to a new page. In this example, it's structured as /country/${rowData.country}.

Step 3: Creating the Country Details Page

Don’t forget to create a separate component to handle the rendering of detailed country info. You can use React Router to set up the routing to this new page. Here is a brief example of how you might set that up:

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you should now have a functional button in your Material-Table that routes users to a detailed view when clicked. This enhancement not only improves the user experience but also provides them with the relevant information they seek without cluttering the main table. Remember to ensure proper routing is set up in your React application, especially if you're using libraries like React Router.

Happy coding, and enjoy building your React application!
