useDataGrid

By using useDataGrid, you can get properties that are compatible with MUI X <DataGrid> component. All features such as sorting, filtering, and pagination come out of the box. Under the hood it uses useList for the fetch.

For all the other features, you can refer to the MUI X <DataGrid> documentation

usage​

In basic usage, useDataGrid returns the data as it comes from the endpoint. By default, it reads resource from the URL.

import React from "react";
import { useDataGrid, List } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { DataGrid, GridColDef } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

interface IPost {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  content: string;
  status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<IPost>();

  const columns = React.useMemo<GridColDef<IPost>[]>(
    () => [
      {
        field: "id",
        headerName: "ID",
        type: "number",
        width: 75,
      },
      { field: "title", headerName: "Title", minWidth: 400, flex: 1 },
      {
        field: "status",
        headerName: "Status",
        width: 120,
      },
    ],
    [],
  );

  return (
    <List>
      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} autoHeight />
    </List>
  );
};

Pagination​

The hook handles pagination by setting the paginationMode, paginationModel and onPaginationModelChange props that are compatible with <DataGrid>.

It also syncs the pagination state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

If you want to handle the pagination on client-side, you can pass the pagination.mode prop to the useDataGrid hook and set it to "client".

export const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

  const {
    paginationMode,
    paginationModel,
    onPaginationModelChange,
    ...restDataGridProps
  } = dataGridProps;

  return (
    <List>
      <DataGrid
        columns={columns}
        {...restDataGridProps}
        paginationMode={paginationMode}
        paginationModel={paginationModel}
        onPaginationModelChange={onPaginationModelChange}
        autoHeight
      />
    </List>
  );
};

Sorting​

The hook handles sorting by setting the sortingMode, sortModel, and onSortModelChangeprops that are compatible with <DataGrid>.

It also syncs the sorting state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

export const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

  const { sortingMode, sortModel, onSortModelChange, ...restDataGridProps } =
    dataGridProps;

  return (
    <List>
      <DataGrid
        columns={columns}
        {...restDataGridProps}
        sortingMode={sortingMode}
        sortModel={sortModel}
        onSortModelChange={onSortModelChange}
        autoHeight
      />
    </List>
  );
};

If you want to sort externally from the <DataGrid> component. You can use setSorter like this:

import { useDataGrid, List } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Button, ButtonGroup } from "@mui/material";
import { DataGrid, GridColDef } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

const columns: GridColDef[] = [
  {
    field: "id",
    headerName: "ID",
    type: "number",
  },
  { field: "title", headerName: "Title" },
  { field: "status", headerName: "Status" },
];

export const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps, setSorter } = useDataGrid();

  const handleSorting = (order: "asc" | "desc") => {
    setSorter([
      {
        field: "title",
        order,
      },
    ]);
  };

  return (
    <List>
      <ButtonGroup variant="outlined">
        <Button onClick={() => handleSorting("asc")}>Asc</Button>
        <Button onClick={() => handleSorting("desc")}>Desc</Button>
      </ButtonGroup>
      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} autoHeight />
    </List>
  );
};

Mui X community version only sorts the rows according to one criterion at a time. To use multi-sorting, you need to upgrade to the Pro plan.

However, multiple sorting can be done server-side without specifying the sortModel.

return <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} sortModel={undefined} autoHeight />;

When sortModel is not passed, it supports more than one criteria at a time, but cannot show which fields are sorted in <DataGrid> headers.

Filtering​

The hook handles filtering by setting the filterMode, filterModel and onFilterModelChangeprops that are compatible with <DataGrid>.

It also syncs the filtering state with the URL if you enable the syncWithLocation.

export const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

  const { filterMode, filterModel, onFilterModelChange, ...restDataGridProps } =
    dataGridProps;

  return (
    <List>
      <DataGrid
        columns={columns}
        {...restDataGridProps}
        filterMode={filterMode}
        filterModel={filterModel}
        onFilterModelChange={onFilterModelChange}
        autoHeight
      />
    </List>
  );
};

If you want to filter externally from the <DataGrid> component. You can use setFilter like this:

import { useDataGrid, List } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { FormControlLabel, Checkbox } from "@mui/material";
import { DataGrid, GridColDef } from "@mui/x-data-grid";
const columns: GridColDef[] = [
  {
    field: "id",
    headerName: "ID",
    type: "number",
  },
  { field: "title", headerName: "Title" },
  { field: "status", headerName: "Status" },
];

export const PostsList: React.FC = () => {
  const { dataGridProps, setFilters } = useDataGrid();

  const handleFilter = (
    e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>,
    checked: boolean,
  ) => {
    setFilters([
      {
        field: "status",
        value: checked ? "draft" : undefined,
        operator: "eq",
      },
    ]);
  };

  return (
    <List>
      <FormControlLabel
        label="Filter by Draft Status"
        control={<Checkbox onChange={handleFilter} />}
      />
      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} autoHeight />
    </List>
  );
};

Mui X community version only filters the rows according to one criterion at a time. To use multi-filtering, you need to upgrade to the Pro plan.

However, multiple filtering can be done server-side without specifying the filterModel.

return <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} filterModel={undefined} autoHeight />;

When filterModel is not passed, it supports more than one criteria at a time, but cannot show which fields are filtered in <DataGrid> headers.

Realtime Updates​

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

When the useDataGrid hook is mounted, it will call the subscribe method from the liveProvider with some parameters such as channel, resource etc. It is useful when you want to subscribe to live updates.

Properties​

resource​

It will be passed to the getList method from the dataProvider as parameter via the useList hook. The parameter is usually used as an API endpoint path. It all depends on how to handle the resource in the getList method. See the creating a data provider section for an example of how resources are handled.

By default, resource will be inferred from the current route.

useDataGrid({
  resource: "categories",
});

If you have multiple resources with the same name, you can pass the identifier instead of the name of the resource. It will only be used as the main matching key for the resource, data provider methods will still work with the name of the resource defined in the <Refine/> component.

For more information, refer to the identifier section of the <Refine/> component documentation →

dataProviderName​

If there is more than one dataProvider, you should use the dataProviderName that you will use. It is useful when you want to use a different dataProvider for a specific resource.

useDataGrid({
  dataProviderName: "second-data-provider",
});

pagination.current​

Sets the initial value of the page index. Default value is 1.

useDataGrid({
  pagination: {
    current: 2,
  },
});

pagination.pageSize​

Sets the initial value of the page size. It is 25 by default.

useDataGrid({
  pagination: {
    pageSize: 10,
  },
});

pagination.mode​

It can be "off", "server" or "client". It is "server" by default.

• "off": Pagination is disabled. All records will be fetched.
• "client": Pagination is done on the client side. All records will be fetched and then the records will be paginated on the client side.
• "server":: Pagination is done on the server side. Records will be fetched by using the current and pageSize values.

useDataGrid({
  pagination: {
    mode: "client",
  },
});

sorters.initial​

sorters.initial sets the initial value of the sorter. The initial is not permanent. It will be cleared when the user changes the sorter. If you want to set a permanent value, use the sorters.permanent prop.

For more information, refer to the CrudSorting interface documentation →

useDataGrid({
  sorters: {
    initial: [
      {
        field: "name",
        order: "asc",
      },
    ],
  },
});

sorters.permanent​

sorters.permanent sets the permanent value of the sorter. The permanent is permanent and unchangeable. It will not be cleared when the user changes the sorter. If you want to set a temporary value, use the sorters.initial prop.

For more information, refer to the CrudSorting interface documentation →

useDataGrid({
  sorters: {
    permanent: [
      {
        field: "name",
        order: "asc",
      },
    ],
  },
});

sorters.mode​

It can be "off", or "server". It is "server" by default.

• "off": sorters are not sent to the server. You can use the sorters value to sort the records on the client side.
• "server":: Sorting is done on the server side. Records will be fetched by using the sorters value.

useDataGrid({
  sorters: {
    mode: "server",
  },
});

filters.initial​

Sets the initial value of the filter. The initial is not permanent. It will be cleared when the user changes the filter. If you want to set a permanent value, use the filters.permanent prop.

For more information, refer to the CrudFilters interface documentation →

useDataGrid({
  filters: {
    initial: [
      {
        field: "name",
        operator: "contains",
        value: "Foo",
      },
    ],
  },
});

filters.permanent​

Sets the permanent value of the filter. The permanent is permanent and unchangeable. It will not be cleared when the user changes the filter. If you want to set a temporary value, use the filters.initial prop.

For more information, refer to the CrudFilters interface documentation →

useDataGrid({
  filters: {
    permanent: [
      {
        field: "name",
        operator: "contains",
        value: "Foo",
      },
    ],
  },
});

filters.defaultBehavior​

The filtering behavior can be set to either "merge" or "replace". It is "merge" by default.

• When the filter behavior is set to "merge", it will merge the new filter with the existing filters. This means that if the new filter has the same column as an existing filter, the new filter will replace the existing filter for that column. If the new filter has a different column than the existing filters, it will be added to the existing filters.

• When the filter behavior is set to "replace", it will replace all existing filters with the new filter. This means that any existing filters will be removed and only the new filter will be applied to the table.

You can also override the default value by using the second parameter of the setFilters function.

useDataGrid({
  filters: {
    defaultBehavior: "replace",
  },
});

filters.mode​

It can be "off" or "server". It is "server" by default.

• "off": filters are not sent to the server. You can use the filters value to filter the records on the client side.
• "server":: Filters are done on the server side. Records will be fetched by using the filters value.

useDataGrid({
  filters: {
    mode: "off",
  },
});

syncWithLocation

Globally Configurable

This value can be configured globally. Click to see the guide for more information.

​

When you use the syncWithLocation feature, the useDataGrid's state (e.g. sort order, filters, pagination) is automatically encoded in the query parameters of the URL, and when the URL changes, the useDataGrid state is automatically updated to match. This makes it easy to share table states across different routes or pages and allows users to bookmark or share links to specific table views. It is false by default.

useDataGrid({
  syncWithLocation: true,
});

queryOptions​

useDataGrid uses useList hook to fetch data. You can pass queryOptions.

useDataGrid({
  queryOptions: {
    retry: 3,
  },
});

meta​

meta is a special property that can be used to pass additional information to data provider methods for the following purposes:

• Customizing the data provider methods for specific use cases.
• Generating GraphQL queries using plain JavaScript Objects (JSON).

For more information, refer to the meta section of the General Concepts documentation for more information →

In the following example, we pass the headers property in the meta object to the create method. With similar logic, you can pass any properties to specifically handle the data provider methods.

useDataGrid({
  meta: {
    headers: { "x-meta-data": "true" },
  },
});

const myDataProvider = {
  //...
  getList: async ({
    resource,
    pagination,
    sorters,
    filters,
    meta,
  }) => {
    const headers = meta?.headers ?? {};
    const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}`;

    //...
    //...

    const { data, headers } = await httpClient.get(`${url}`, { headers });

    return {
      data,
    };
  },
  //...
};

successNotification​

NotificationProvider is required for this prop to work.

After data is fetched successfully, useDataGrid can call open function from NotificationProvider to show a success notification. With this prop, you can customize the success notification.

useDataGrid({
  successNotification: (data, values, resource) => {
    return {
      message: `${data.title} Successfully fetched.`,
      description: "Success with no errors",
      type: "success",
    };
  },
});

errorNotification​

NotificationProvider is required for this prop to work.

After data fetching is failed, useDataGrid will call open function from NotificationProvider to show an error notification. With this prop, you can customize the error notification.

useDataGrid({
  errorNotification: (data, values, resource) => {
    return {
      message: `Something went wrong when getting ${data.id}`,
      description: "Error",
      type: "error",
    };
  },
});

liveMode​

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

Determines whether to update data automatically ("auto") or not ("manual") if a related live event is received. It can be used to update and show data in Realtime throughout your app.

For more information, please refer to the Live / Realtime documentation

useDataGrid({
  liveMode: "auto",
});

onLiveEvent​

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

The callback function is executed when new events from a subscription have arrived.

useDataGrid({
  onLiveEvent: (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  },
});

liveParams​

LiveProvider is required for this prop to work.

Params to pass to liveProvider's subscribe method.

overtimeOptions​

If you want loading overtime for the request, you can pass the overtimeOptions prop to the this hook. It is useful when you want to show a loading indicator when the request takes too long. interval is the time interval in milliseconds while onInterval is the function that will be called on each interval.

Return overtime object from this hook. elapsedTime is the elapsed time in milliseconds. It becomes undefined when the request is completed.

const { overtime } = useDataGrid({
  //...
  overtimeOptions: {
    interval: 1000,
    onInterval(elapsedInterval) {
      console.log(elapsedInterval);
    },
  },
});

console.log(overtime.elapsedTime); // undefined, 1000, 2000, 3000 4000, ...

// You can use it like this:
{
  elapsedTime >= 4000 && <div>this takes a bit longer than expected</div>;
}

sortModel​

Current GridSortModel compatible with <DataGrid> component.

onSortModelChange​

When the user sorts a column, this function is called with the new sort model.

dataGridProps.onSortModelChange automatically transform GridSortModel to CrudSorting and call setSorter function. If you want to override it, you can use like this:

<DataGrid
  {...dataGridProps}
  columns={columns}
  autoHeight
  onSortModelChange={(model, details) => {
    dataGridProps.onSortModelChange(model, details);
    // do something else

  columns={columns}
  autoHeight
  onFilterModelChange={(model, details) => {
    dataGridProps.onFilterModelChange(model, details);
    // do something else
  }}
/>

onStateChange​

When the user sorts or filters a column, this function is called with the new state.

The onStateChange callback is used internally by the useDataGrid hook. If you want to override it, you can use like this:
