Import this class
import 'package:json_table/json_table.dart';
Add Json Table Widget
- Accepts Map as input. Just decode your json array string and pass it in JsonTable. No casting to model required.
- Option for creating column header builder. This basically returns a widget to show as table column header
tableHeaderBuilder: (String header) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0, vertical: 4.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(width: 0.5),color: Colors.grey[300]),
child: Text(
header,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1.copyWith(fontWeight: FontWeight.w700, fontSize: 14.0,color: Colors.black87),
),
);
}
- Option for creating table cell builder
tableCellBuilder: (value) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 4.0, vertical: 2.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(width: 0.5, color: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5))),
child: Text(
value,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1.copyWith(fontSize: 14.0, color: Colors.grey[900]),
),
);
}
Simple Implementation
//Decode your json string
final String jsonSample='[{"id":1},{"id":2}]';
var json = jsonDecode(jsonSample);
//Simply pass this json to JsonTable
child: JsonTable(json)
Full Implementation
JsonTable(
json,
tableHeaderBuilder: (String header) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0, vertical: 4.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(width: 0.5),color: Colors.grey[300]),
child: Text(
header,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1.copyWith(fontWeight: FontWeight.w700, fontSize: 14.0,color: Colors.black87),
),
);
},
tableCellBuilder: (value) {
return Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 4.0, vertical: 2.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(width: 0.5, color: Colors.grey.withOpacity(0.5))),
child: Text(
value,
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.display1.copyWith(fontSize: 14.0, color: Colors.grey[900]),
),
);
},
)
Key Highlights
- The table constructed isn't the flutter's native DataTable.
- The table is manually coded hence serves a great learning purpose on how to create simple tables manually in flutter
- Supports vertical & horizontal scroll
Limitations
- The Json array item's must contain the same keys set in every json object.
- Currently the column header keys are extracted from first json item of json array. Hence no required keys that are to be shown must be missing in first json object
TODO
- Custom header list parameter. This will help to show only those keys as mentioned in header list
- Add support for keys missing in json object
- Add support for auto formatting of date
- Extracting column headers logic must be change. Not to depend on first object
- Pagination support etc. Its good if this table can be replaced with Flutter's native DataTable
- Add option to change header row to vertical row on left
