material-table VS mui-datatables

Material-Table is a library that I used to use a lot. It was awesome. Unfortunately, the maintainer does not seem to be active on GitHub anymore, and the project is no longer being actively maintained. It went a couple of years without getting any updates, and there are some glaring NPM audit security warnings that you will receive if you install this in your project.

// https://github.com/mbrn/material-table/pull/2937#issuecomment-879017952 import MaterialTable, { MaterialTableProps } from 'material-table' import { TablePagination, TablePaginationProps } from '@material-ui/core' function PatchedPagination(props: TablePaginationProps) { const { ActionsComponent, onChangePage, onChangeRowsPerPage, ...tablePaginationProps } = props return ( { const { onPageChange, ...actionsComponentProps } = subprops return ( // @ts-expect-error ActionsComponent is provided by material-table ) }} /> ) } export default PatchedPagination

I'm trying to integrate react material-table (https://github.com/mbrn/material-table) with my project.

I'm using Material Table and I need change the Action column name but this column is automatic generated because I'm using editable function from material table.

okay more so like the exxample in here, https://www.npmjs.com/package/material-table

Ik like material table a lot. It's pretty easy to get started with and has great customization options.

The free offering is very lackluster, I currently roll my own editable table inspired by https://github.com/mbrn/material-table. The main reason was the inability to add frontend validation, but now it has a lot of functions that I need, each custom for my needs.

e.g: https://material-table.com/#/

MUI-Datatables is a library that is good overall, visually well designed, and even still maintained enough to stay up to date with MUI v5. However, it lacks good documentation and can be hard to figure out how to use. It no longer has a documentation site, so the API section in the README is the only documentation that you get. It is also worth noting that at the time of writing, there are almost 600 open and unresolved issues in the GitHub repo, and non of the issues seem to get any attention from the maintainers. Overall, I would not recommend starting new projects with this library in 2023.

I am using this table https://github.com/gregnb/mui-datatables

Yes, I've seen there are some implementation of datatables using react (https://github.com/gregnb/mui-datatables for example) but I've never used those, also you would still need to implement the server side processing in rails yourself, while the other gems I've mentioned make that pretty easy (filtering, sorting and paginating)
