How override selected row styles?

[bezvrednyy]

I want to customize selected rows but I didn't find a way to do it. Even my <Row className='some' /> className prop is added before the library classes. And I can't override inline styles normally.

Hi @bezvrednyy Thanks for asking:

If you want to give a row a specific CSS class, do it this way:

<Row className="foo" ... >

Then if you want to style all Row components with this CSS class, specify it in the THEME that is passed to const = useTheme(THEME):

const THEME = {
  Row: `
    &.foo {
      background-color: pink;
    }
  `
};

Regarding the selected state on a row, when you inspect the HTML elements in the browser, you will see that the Row component receives the following optional* CSS classes based on its select status:

row-select-selected
row-select-single-selected

While the former is applied for multi-select, the latter gets applied for single select. So if you want to style a row for multi-select, do it the following way:

const THEME = {
  Row: `
    &.row-select-selected {
      background-color: red;
    }
  `
};

For single select it would look like this:

const THEME = {
  Row: `
    &.row-select-single-selected {
      background-color: blue;
    }
  `
};

If you want to style both cases the same way, then use the selectors this way:

const THEME = {
  Row: `
    &.row-select-selected, &.row-select-single-selected {
      background-color: orange;
    }
  `
};

Let me know if this answer helped you!

Regarding the select state. What you can do at the moment is using the select object to find out about which items are selected:

const select = useRowSelect(data);

console.log(select.state);

// ... then in the Row component when you assign the className conditionally:

<Row className={select.state.ids.includes(item.id) ? "multi-selected" : "not-selected"}  ... >

// ... or for single select

<Row className={select.state.id === item.id ? "single-selected" : "not-selected"}  ... >

What I also could think of is adding some more styling options to the hook itself:

const select = useRowSelect(data, { onChange }, {
  classNameSelected: 'my-custom-selected-class',
  classNameSingleSelected: 'my-custom-single-selected-class',
  classNameMultiSelected: 'my-custom-multi-selected-class',
});

Do you think this would be useful or do the previous recommendations already help?

The previous recommendations helped. Thanks.

There was another problem. If the cells of the last column are set to display: none. The width and min-width for specified in useTheme are redefined.
By what principle does this happen and how can I fix it?
I want to add row actions with display: none and position: absolute. They were displayed when hovering over the structure and at the same time they were NOT a column and did not take up the width.

If you want to hide a cell, check out the built-in feature: https://react-table-library.com/?path=/docs/compact-table--column-hiding Hope this helps.

I want to do a hover effect.

Speaking of hiding columns. I don't like the built-in way. It works fast, but does not recalculate the table. If I have a table with a horizontal scroll, I want its width to decrease when hiding the column. But this doesn't happen, so I use external filtering by changing columns.

Does this story help? There you got a hover effect. Just added it with the latest deploy. https://react-table-library.com/?path=/docs/misc-actions--base

@bezvrednyy please open a new discussion if the topic changed in the future. Thanks for all your input :)
