DataTable.

A table with collection behavior.

React Aria owns table/grid navigation, selection, column sorting requests and optional column resizing. The application sorts, filters and paginates its data; onSortChange alone does not reorder rows. Header, Body, Column, Row and Cell retain their generic collection contracts.

Anatomy

React Aria owns table/grid navigation, selection, column sorting requests and optional column resizing. The application sorts, filters and paginates its data; onSortChange alone does not reorder rows. Header, Body, Column, Row and Cell retain their generic collection contracts.

Component structure
DataTable.Root (named table; selection and sortDescriptor/onSortChange)
├── DataTable.Header → DataTable.Column (id, isRowHeader, allowsSorting)
└── DataTable.Body (items) → DataTable.Row (id) → DataTable.Cell
Optional: DataTable.ResizeContainer + DataTable.ColumnResizer
Application owns sorting/filtering/pagination of the items.

Styling tokens

Change Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.

TokenPurpose
--dixy-color-background-surfaceThe component-specific starting point.
--dixy-font-label-mdControl label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs.
--dixy-color-background-selectedSelected surfaces use semantic color across appearances.
--dixy-color-border-focusFocus indication remains visible independently of shadows.
--dixy-spacing-inset-smDensity-aware component padding.
--dixy-motion-transition-feedbackShort state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting.

Accessibility

Provide visible labels and meaningful names. Preserve native semantics, selected/disabled state and visible focus. Target WCAG 2.2 AA; full contrast, assistive-technology and platform verification remains pending.

Arrow keysNavigate the table using its configured selection/focus behavior.
Enter / Space on a sortable headerRequest the next sort direction.

Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.
