ra-editable-datagrid

react-admin ≥ 5.9.0

The default react-admin user-experience consists of 3 pages: List, Edit, and Create. However, in some cases, users may prefer to do all search and edition tasks in one page, allowing for an "edit-in-place" experience.

To this purpose, this package offers the <EditableDatagrid> component, a drop in replacement for <Datagrid> that allows users to edit, create, and delete records in place.

With <EditableDatagrid>, when users click on a row in the datagrid, the row content is replaced by the edition form. They can also create new records by clicking on the Create button, which inserts an empty editable row as the first line of the list. Finally, they can delete a record by clicking on the Delete button on each row.

You can test it live in the Enterprise Edition Storybook and the e-commerce demo.

<EditableDatagrid> allows you to use any Input component to edit the record - including Reference Inputs for foreign keys.

Installation

npm install --save @react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid
# or
yarn add @react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid

Tip: ra-editable-datagrid is part of the React-Admin Enterprise Edition, and hosted in a private npm registry. You need to subscribe to one of the Enterprise Edition plans to access this package.

`<EditableDatagrid>`

Usage

<EditableDatagrid> renders like a regular <Datagrid>, adding some controls to create, edit, and delete records in place.

Replace <Datagrid> with <EditableDatagrid> in a react-admin <List>, <ReferenceManyField>, or any other component that creates a ListContext. In addition, pass a form component to be displayed when the user switches to edit or create mode.

import {
    List,
    ListActions,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    DateField,
    DateInput,
    SelectField,
    SelectInput,
    required,
} from 'react-admin';
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid createForm={<ArtistForm />} editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            <DateField source="dob" label="born" />
            <SelectField source="profession" choices={professions} />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
        <TextInput source="lastName" validate={required()} />
        <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
        <SelectInput source="profession" choices={professions} />
    </RowForm>
);

const professions = [
    { id: 'actor', name: 'Actor' },
    { id: 'singer', name: 'Singer' },
    { id: 'other', name: 'Other' },
];

import {
    List,
    ListActions,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    DateField,
    DateInput,
    SelectField,
    SelectInput,
    required,
} from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid createForm={<ArtistForm />} editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            <DateField source="dob" label="born" />
            <SelectField source="profession" choices={professions} />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
        <TextInput source="lastName" validate={required()} />
        <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
        <SelectInput source="profession" choices={professions} />
    </RowForm>
);

const professions = [
    { id: "actor", name: "Actor" },
    { id: "singer", name: "Singer" },
    { id: "other", name: "Other" },
];

Tip: No need to include an <EditButton> in the datagrid children, as <EditableDatagrid> automatically adds a column with edit/delete buttons.

Props

As <EditableDatagrid> is a drop-in replacement for <Datagrid>, it accepts all the <Datagrid> props, plus a few extra props:

Prop	Required	Type	Default	Description
`actions`	Optional	ReactElement	-	The component used to customize the actions buttons.
`createForm`	Optional	ReactElement	-	The component to display as the first row when the user creates a record.
`editForm`	Required	ReactElement	-	The component to display instead of a row when the users edit a record.
`disableAutofocus`	Optional	boolean	`false`	Disable the autofocus for create and edit forms
`mutationMode`	Optional	`string`	`undoable`	Mutation mode (`'undoable'`, `'pessimistic'` or `'optimistic'`).
`noDelete`	Optional	boolean	-	Disable the inline Delete button.

`actions`

By default, the <EditableDatagrid> will show both edit and delete buttons when users hover a row. If you want to either customize the button's behavior or provide more actions, you can leverage the actions prop. It accepts a React element.

For instance, here's how to customize the delete button so that it asks users for a confirmation but still allows them to undo the deletion:

import React from 'react';
import { List, TextField } from 'react-admin';
import {
    DeleteWithConfirmIconButton,
    EditableDatagrid,
    EditRowButton,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
import { ArtistForm } from './ArtistForm';

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List>
        <EditableDatagrid
            actions={<RowAction />}
            // The mutation mode is still applied to updates
            mutationMode="undoable"
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="name" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const RowAction = () => (
    <>
        <EditRowButton />
        <DeleteWithConfirmIconButton mutationMode="undoable" />
    </>
);

import React from "react";
import { List, TextField } from "react-admin";
import { DeleteWithConfirmIconButton, EditableDatagrid, EditRowButton } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
import { ArtistForm } from "./ArtistForm";

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List>
        <EditableDatagrid
            actions={<RowAction />}
            // The mutation mode is still applied to updates
            mutationMode="undoable"
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="name" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const RowAction = () => (
    <>
        <EditRowButton />
        <DeleteWithConfirmIconButton mutationMode="undoable" />
    </>
);

`createForm`

The component displayed as the first row when a user clicks on the Create button. It's usually a form built with <RowForm>, with the same number of children as the <EditableDatagrid> has children.

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
            createForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            {/*...*/}
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
        {/*...*/}
    </RowForm>
);

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid editForm={<ArtistForm />} createForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            {/*...*/}
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
        {/*...*/}
    </RowForm>
);

Tip: It's a good idea to reuse the same form component for createForm and editForm, as in the example above.

Since the creation form is embedded in the List view, you shouldn't set the <Resource create> prop. But react-admin's <List> only displays a Create button if the current Resource has a create page. That's why you must force the <List actions> value, as in the example above, to have the Create button show up with <EditableDatagrid>.

Also, when the list is empty, the <List> component normally doesn't render its children (it renders an empty component instead). To bypass this system and see the empty editable datagrid with a create button instead, you need to force the <List empty={false}> prop, as in the example above.

<EditableDatagrid> renders the createForm elements in a <table>, so the create form element should render a <tr>. We advise you to use the <RowForm> component, which renders a <tr> by default. But you can also use your own component to render the creation form (see <RowForm> below).

Tip: The createForm component must render as many columns as there are children in the <EditableDatagrid>. That's why in the example above, the <ArtistForm> component renders a <TextInput> for each <TextField> (except for the read-only id field, for which it renders a <TextField>).

Tip: To display a create button on top of the list, you should add a <ListActions hasCreate /> component to the actions prop of the <List> component, as in the example below.

Tip: To display a custom create button, pass a custom component as the empty prop. It can use the useEditableDatagridContext hook to access to openStandaloneCreateForm and closeStandaloneCreateForm callbacks.

`editForm`

The component displayed when a user clicks on a row to edit it. It's usually a form built with <RowForm>, with the same number of children as the <EditableDatagrid> has children.

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List>
        <EditableDatagrid  editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            {/*...*/}
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
        {/*...*/}
    </RowForm>
);

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List>
        <EditableDatagrid editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
            {/*...*/}
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
        {/*...*/}
    </RowForm>
);

Tip: No need to include a <SaveButton> in the form, as <RowForm> automatically adds a column with save/cancel buttons.

Tip: If one column isn't editable, use a <Field> component instead of an <Input> component (like the <TextField> in the <RowForm> above).

The <EditableDatagrid> component renders the editForm elements in a <table>, so these elements should render a <tr>. We advise you to use the <RowForm> component for editForm, which renders a <tr> by default. But you can also use your own component to render the row form.

`disableAutofocus`

disableAutofocus disables the auto focus of the first row input when creating or editing a row.

<EditableDatagrid disableAutofocus>
    {/*...*/}
</EditableDatagrid>

`mutationMode`

Use the mutationMode prop to specify the mutation mode for the edit and delete actions. By default, the <EditableDatagrid> uses the undoable mutation mode. You can change it to optimistic or pessimistic if you prefer.

<EditableDatagrid mutationMode="pessimistic">
    {/*...*/}
</EditableDatagrid>

`noDelete`

You can disable the delete button by setting the noDelete prop to true:

<EditableDatagrid noDelete>
    {/*...*/}
</EditableDatagrid>

EditableDatagrid noDelete

`<RowForm>`

<RowForm> renders a form in a table row, with one table cell per child. It is designed to be used as editForm and createForm element.

Usage

<RowForm> and <EditableDatagrid> should have the same number of children, and these children should concern the same source.

import { List, ListActions, TextField, TextInput } from 'react-admin';
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid
            createForm={<ArtistForm />}
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
    </RowForm>
);

import { List, ListActions, TextField, TextInput } from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

export const ArtistList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid createForm={<ArtistForm />} editForm={<ArtistForm />}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstName" />
            <TextField source="lastName" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" />
        <TextInput source="lastName" />
    </RowForm>
);

Tip: No need to include a <SaveButton> in the form, as <RowForm> automatically adds a column with save/cancel buttons.

If you want to avoid the edition of a column, use a <Field> component instead of an <Input> component (like the <TextField> in the example above).

Props

<RowForm> accepts the following props:

Prop	Required	Type	Default	Description
`mutationOptions`	Optional	`Object`	-	An object that can contain `onSuccess` and `onError` functions to be executed after the row has been saved and after the row has failed to be saved respectively.
`submitOnEnter`	Optional	`boolean`	`true`	Whether the form can be submitted by pressing the Enter key.
`transform`	Optional	`function`	-	A function to transform the row before it is saved.

Any additional props passed to <RowForm> are passed down to the underlying react-admin <Form> component. That means that you can pass e.g. defaultValues, or validate props.

import { RowForm } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm defaultValues={{ firstName: 'John', name: 'Doe' }}>
        <TextField source="id" disabled />
        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
    </RowForm>
);

import { RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const ArtistForm = () => (
    <RowForm defaultValues={{ firstName: "John", name: "Doe" }}>
        <TextField source="id" disabled />
        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
    </RowForm>
);

`useEditableDatagridContext`

For advanced use cases, you can use the useEditableDatagridContext hook to manage the visibility of the creation form. It returns the following callbacks:

openStandaloneCreateForm: A function to open the create form.
closeStandaloneCreateForm: A function to close the create form.

For instance, the following example displays a custom message when the list is empty, and a button to open the create form:

import React from 'react';
import { Typography, Box } from '@mui/material';
import { CreateButton, List, ListActions } from 'react-admin';
import {
    EditableDatagrid,
    useEditableDatagridContext,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const MyCreateButton = () => {
    const { openStandaloneCreateForm } = useEditableDatagridContext();
    const handleClick = () => {
        openStandaloneCreateForm();
    };
    return (
        <Box>
            <Typography>No books yet</Typography>
            <Typography>Do you want to add one?</Typography>
            <CreateButton onClick={handleClick} label="Create the first book" />
        </Box>
    );
};

export const BookList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid empty={<MyCreateButton />}>
           {/*...*/}
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

import React from "react";
import { Typography, Box } from "@mui/material";
import { CreateButton, List, ListActions } from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, useEditableDatagridContext } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const MyCreateButton = () => {
    const { openStandaloneCreateForm } = useEditableDatagridContext();
    const handleClick = () => {
        openStandaloneCreateForm();
    };
    return (
        <Box>
            <Typography>No books yet</Typography>
            <Typography>Do you want to add one?</Typography>
            <CreateButton onClick={handleClick} label="Create the first book" />
        </Box>
    );
};

export const BookList = () => (
    <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid empty={<MyCreateButton />}>{/*...*/}</EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

Recipes

Using Inside a `<ReferenceManyField>`

You can use <EditableDatagrid> inside a <ReferenceManyField>. The only difference with its usage in a <List> is that you have to initialize the foreign key in the creation form using the defaultValues prop:

import {
    DateField,
    DateInput,
    Edit,
    NumberField,
    NumberInput,
    ReferenceManyField,
    required,
    SimpleForm,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
} from 'react-admin';
import { useFormContext } from 'react-hook-form';
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const OrderEdit = () => (
    <Edit>
        <SimpleForm>
            <ReferenceManyField
                fullWidth
                label="Products"
                reference="products"
                target="order_id"
            >
                <EditableDatagrid
                    mutationMode="undoable"
                    createForm={<ProductForm />}
                    editForm={<ProductForm />}
                    rowClick="edit"
                >
                    <TextField source="id" />
                    <TextField source="name" />
                    <NumberField source="price" />
                    <DateField source="available_since" />
                </EditableDatagrid>
            </ReferenceManyField>
            <DateInput source="purchase_date" />
        </SimpleForm>
    </Edit>
);

const ProductForm = () => {
    const { getValues } = useFormContext();
    return (
        <RowForm defaultValues={{ order_id: getValues('id') }}>
            <TextInput source="id" disabled />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <NumberInput source="price" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="available_since" validate={required()} />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

import {
    DateField,
    DateInput,
    Edit,
    NumberField,
    NumberInput,
    ReferenceManyField,
    required,
    SimpleForm,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
} from "react-admin";
import { useFormContext } from "react-hook-form";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const OrderEdit = () => (
    <Edit>
        <SimpleForm>
            <ReferenceManyField fullWidth label="Products" reference="products" target="order_id">
                <EditableDatagrid
                    mutationMode="undoable"
                    createForm={<ProductForm />}
                    editForm={<ProductForm />}
                    rowClick="edit"
                >
                    <TextField source="id" />
                    <TextField source="name" />
                    <NumberField source="price" />
                    <DateField source="available_since" />
                </EditableDatagrid>
            </ReferenceManyField>
            <DateInput source="purchase_date" />
        </SimpleForm>
    </Edit>
);

const ProductForm = () => {
    const { getValues } = useFormContext();
    return (
        <RowForm defaultValues={{ order_id: getValues("id") }}>
            <TextInput source="id" disabled />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <NumberInput source="price" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="available_since" validate={required()} />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

In these examples, the same form component is used in createForm and editForm, but you can pass different forms (e.g. if some fields can be set at creation but not changed afterward).

Tip: To edit a one-to-many relationship, you can also use the <ReferenceManyInput> component.

Providing Custom Side Effects

You can provide your own side effects in response to successful or failed save and delete actions, by passing functions to the onSuccess or onError inside the mutationOptions prop:

import { RowForm, useRowContext } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistEditionForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(
            `Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been updated`
        );
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>
            {/*...*/}
        </RowForm>
    );
};

const ArtistCreationForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(`Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been added`);
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>
            {/*...*/}
        </RowForm>
    );
};

import { RowForm, useRowContext } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const ArtistEditionForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = (response) => {
        notify(`Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been updated`);
        close();
    };

    return <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>{/*...*/}</RowForm>;
};

const ArtistCreationForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = (response) => {
        notify(`Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been added`);
        close();
    };

    return <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>{/*...*/}</RowForm>;
};

Note that we provide an additional side effects hook: useRowContext allows you to close the form.

Tip: If you use useNotify inside an onSuccess side effect for an Edit form in addition to the <EditableDatagrid mutationMode="undoable"> prop, you will need to set the notification as undoable for the changes to take effects. Also, note that, on undoable forms, the onSuccess side effect will be called immediately, without any response argument.

const handleSuccess = () => {
    notify('Artist has been updated', { type: 'info', undoable: true });
    close();
};

const handleSuccess = () => {
    notify("Artist has been updated", { type: "info", undoable: true });
    close();
};

Besides, the <RowForm> also accepts a function for its transform prop allowing you to alter the data before sending it to the dataProvider:

import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput } from 'react-admin';
import { RowForm } from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistCreateForm = () => {
    const handleTransform = data => {
        return {
            ...data,
            fullName: `${data.firstName} ${data.name}`,
        };
    };

    return (
        <RowForm transform={handleTransform}>
            <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput
                source="prof"
                label="Profession"
                choices={professionChoices}
            />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

import { TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput } from "react-admin";
import { RowForm } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const ArtistCreateForm = () => {
    const handleTransform = (data) => {
        return {
            ...data,
            fullName: `${data.firstName} ${data.name}`,
        };
    };

    return (
        <RowForm transform={handleTransform}>
            <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

Adding A `meta` Prop To All Mutations

Just like with <Datagrid>, if you'd like to add a meta prop to all the dataProvider calls, you will need to provide custom mutationOptions at all the places where mutations occur:

the createForm
the editForm
the <DeleteRowButton>

Here is a complete example:

import {
    TextInput,
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    TextField,
    DateField,
    SelectField,
    required,
    List,
    ListActions,
} from 'react-admin';
import {
    EditableDatagrid,
    RowForm,
    RowFormProps,
    EditRowButton,
    DeleteRowButton,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistForm = ({ meta }) => (
    <RowForm
        defaultValues={{ firstName: 'John', name: 'Doe' }}
        mutationOptions={{ meta }}
    >
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
        <DateInput source="dob" label="Born" validate={required()} />
        <SelectInput
            source="prof"
            label="Profession"
            choices={professionChoices}
        />
    </RowForm>
);

const ArtistListWithMeta = () => {
    const meta = { foo: 'bar' };
    return (
        <List
            actions={<ListActions hasCreate />}
            sort={{ field: 'id', order: 'DESC' }}
            empty={false}
        >
            <EditableDatagrid
                createForm={<ArtistForm meta={meta} />}
                editForm={<ArtistForm meta={meta} />}
                rowClick="edit"
                actions={
                    <>
                        <EditRowButton />
                        <DeleteRowButton mutationOptions={{ meta }} />
                    </>
                }
            >
                <TextField source="id" />
                <TextField source="firstName" />
                <TextField source="name" />
                <DateField source="dob" label="Born" />
                <SelectField
                    source="prof"
                    label="Profession"
                    choices={professionChoices}
                />
            </EditableDatagrid>
        </List>
    );
};

import {
    TextInput,
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    TextField,
    DateField,
    SelectField,
    required,
    List,
    ListActions,
} from "react-admin";
import { EditableDatagrid, RowForm, EditRowButton, DeleteRowButton } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const ArtistForm = ({ meta }) => (
    <RowForm defaultValues={{ firstName: "John", name: "Doe" }} mutationOptions={{ meta }}>
        <TextField source="id" />
        <TextInput source="firstName" validate={required()} />
        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
        <DateInput source="dob" label="Born" validate={required()} />
        <SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
    </RowForm>
);

const ArtistListWithMeta = () => {
    const meta = { foo: "bar" };
    return (
        <List actions={<ListActions hasCreate />} sort={{ field: "id", order: "DESC" }} empty={false}>
            <EditableDatagrid
                createForm={<ArtistForm meta={meta} />}
                editForm={<ArtistForm meta={meta} />}
                rowClick="edit"
                actions={
                    <>
                        <EditRowButton />
                        <DeleteRowButton mutationOptions={{ meta }} />
                    </>
                }
            >
                <TextField source="id" />
                <TextField source="firstName" />
                <TextField source="name" />
                <DateField source="dob" label="Born" />
                <SelectField source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
            </EditableDatagrid>
        </List>
    );
};

Configurable

You can let end users customize what fields are displayed in the <EditableDatagrid> by using the <EditableDatagridConfigurable> component instead, together with the <RowFormConfigurable> component.

Breaking changes

The useCreateRowContext and useEditRowContext hooks have been replaced by a single useRowContext.

import {
    RowForm,
-    useCreateRowContext,
-    useEditRowContext,
+    useRowContext,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistEditForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
-    const { close } = useEditRowContext();
+    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(
            `Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been updated`
        );
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>
            // ...
        </RowForm>
    );
};

const ArtistCreateForm = () => {
    const notify = useNotify();
-    const { close } = useCreateRowContext();
+    const { close } = useRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(
            `Artist ${response.name} ${response.firstName} has been added`
        );
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm mutationOptions={{ onSuccess: handleSuccess }}>
            // ...
        </RowForm>
    );
};

The undoable prop has been removed, use mutationMode instead. It accepts the following values: pessimistic, optimistic, and undoable. See react-admin documentation about mutationMode.

<EditableDatagrid
-    undoable
+    mutationMode="undoable"

// ...

```

The undoable prop is deprecated, use mutationMode instead. It accepts the following values: pessimistic, optimistic, and undoable. See react-admin documentation about mutationMode.
(feat) Add support for custom actions on <EditableDatagrid> through the actions prop.

For instance, you could provide your own DeleteButton with confirmation and undoable notification:

import React from 'react';
import { List, TextField } from 'react-admin';
import {
    DeleteWithConfirmIconButton,
    EditableDatagrid,
    EditRowButton,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';
import { ArtistForm } from './ArtistForm';

const CustomAction = () => (
    <>
        <EditRowButton />
        <DeleteWithConfirmIconButton mutationMode="undoable" />
    </>
);

const ArtistList = (props: ListProps) => (
    <List
        {...props}
        hasCreate
        sort={{ field: 'id', order: 'DESC' }}
        empty={false}
    >
        <EditableDatagrid
            actions={<CustomAction />}
            // The mutation mode is still applied to updates
            mutationMode="undoable"
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstname" />
            <TextField source="name" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

import React from "react";
import { List, TextField } from "react-admin";
import { DeleteWithConfirmIconButton, EditableDatagrid, EditRowButton } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";
import { ArtistForm } from "./ArtistForm";

const CustomAction = () => (
    <>
        <EditRowButton />
        <DeleteWithConfirmIconButton mutationMode="undoable" />
    </>
);

const ArtistList = (props) => (
    <List {...props} hasCreate sort={{ field: "id", order: "DESC" }} empty={false}>
        <EditableDatagrid
            actions={<CustomAction />}
            // The mutation mode is still applied to updates
            mutationMode="undoable"
            editForm={<ArtistForm />}
        >
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextField source="firstname" />
            <TextField source="name" />
        </EditableDatagrid>
    </List>
);

(fix) Update peer dependencies ranges (support react 17)

v1.3.0

2021-06-14

(feat) Add support for side effects on <RowForm>.

You can now provide your own side effects in response to successful/failed update/creation in an <EditableDatagrid> by passing functions to the onSuccess or onFailure props:

import {
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    useNotify,
} from 'react-admin';
import {
    RowForm,
    RowFormProps,
    useEditRowContext,
    useCreateRowContext,
} from '@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid';

const ArtistEditForm = (props: RowFormProps) => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useEditRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(
            `Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been updated`
        );
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput
                source="prof"
                label="Profession"
                choices={professionChoices}
            />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

const ArtistCreateForm = props => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useCreateRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = response => {
        notify(
            `Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been added`
        );
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
            <TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput
                source="prof"
                label="Profession"
                choices={professionChoices}
            />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

import { DateInput, SelectInput, TextField, TextInput, useNotify } from "react-admin";
import { RowForm, useEditRowContext, useCreateRowContext } from "@react-admin/ra-editable-datagrid";

const ArtistEditForm = (props) => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useEditRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = (response) => {
        notify(`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been updated`);
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
            <TextField source="id" />
            <TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

const ArtistCreateForm = (props) => {
    const notify = useNotify();
    const { close } = useCreateRowContext();

    const handleSuccess = (response) => {
        notify(`Artist ${response.data.name} ${response.data.firstName} has been added`);
        close();
    };

    return (
        <RowForm onSuccess={handleSuccess} {...props}>
            <TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput source="prof" label="Profession" choices={professionChoices} />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

Note that we provide two additional side effects hooks: useEditRowContext and useCloseCreateRow, which allow you to close the form.

Besides, the <RowForm> also accepts a function for its transform prop, allowing you to alter the data before sending it to the dataProvider:

const ArtistCreateForm = props => {
    const handleTransform = data => {
        return {
            ...data,
            fullName: `${data.firstName} ${data.name}`,
        };
    };

    return (
        <RowForm transform={handleTransform} {...props}>
            <TextInput source="firstname" validate={required()} />
            <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
            <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
            <SelectInput
                source="prof"
                label="Profession"
                choices={professionChoices}
            />
        </RowForm>
    );
};

const ArtistCreateForm = (props) => {
    const handleTransform = (data) => {
