Virtuoso Data Table

@virtuoso.dev/data-table is a virtualized React data table with row and column virtualization, grouped data support, sticky columns, state persistence, and column resizing, reordering, and visibility features.

It is the successor to TableVirtuoso when you need a table-specific API instead of a virtualized HTML table primitive. The recommended distribution is the shadcn-style wrapper published from virtuoso.dev, which gives you styled cells and headers while keeping the headless engine available for advanced behavior.

Choose your starting point

• Shadcn installation for the fastest path to a polished table
• Headless installation for custom design systems or non-Tailwind stacks
• Data model for local and remote models
• Columns for headers, cells, column groups, sticky pinning, visibility, resizing, reordering, and dynamic schemas
• Grouped rows, state persistence, and controlling the table from surrounding UI

Quick start

import { DataTable, DataTableCell, DataTableColumn, DataTableColumnHeader } from '@/components/ui/data-table'
import { localModel } from '@virtuoso.dev/data-table'

const products = [
  { id: 'SKU-001', name: 'Standing Desk', category: 'Office', price: 699, stock: 14 },
  { id: 'SKU-002', name: 'USB-C Dock', category: 'Peripherals', price: 229, stock: 42 },
  { id: 'SKU-003', name: 'Mechanical Keyboard', category: 'Peripherals', price: 169, stock: 28 },
  { id: 'SKU-004', name: 'Noise-canceling Headset', category: 'Audio', price: 319, stock: 9 },
]

const currency = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
  currency: 'USD',
  style: 'currency',
})

const model = localModel({ data: products })

export default function App() {
  return (
    <DataTable className="rounded-xl" model={model} style={{ height: 320 }}>
      <DataTableColumn field="name">
        <DataTableColumnHeader>Name</DataTableColumnHeader>
        <DataTableCell className="font-medium">{({ cellValue }) => String(cellValue)}</DataTableCell>
      </DataTableColumn>
      <DataTableColumn field="category">
        <DataTableColumnHeader>Category</DataTableColumnHeader>
        <DataTableCell>{({ cellValue }) => String(cellValue)}</DataTableCell>
      </DataTableColumn>
      <DataTableColumn field="price">
        <DataTableColumnHeader className="justify-end">Price</DataTableColumnHeader>
        <DataTableCell className="text-right tabular-nums">{({ cellValue }) => currency.format(Number(cellValue))}</DataTableCell>
      </DataTableColumn>
      <DataTableColumn field="stock">
        <DataTableColumnHeader className="justify-end">Stock</DataTableColumnHeader>
        <DataTableCell className="text-right tabular-nums">{({ cellValue }) => String(cellValue)}</DataTableCell>
      </DataTableColumn>
    </DataTable>
  )
}

Migrating from TableVirtuoso

If you are coming from TableVirtuoso, start by moving row rendering logic into DataTableColumn definitions:

• itemContent becomes one or more DataTableCell renderers
• sticky or grouped structures move into sticky, GroupHeaderCell, and ColumnGroup
• programmatic scrolling moves to table instance control with engineRef / engineId and scrollToRow$

For teams already standardized on shadcn/ui, the wrapper keeps the migration surface small because the styled building blocks are installed into your app and can be edited like any other component.

See Migrating From TableVirtuoso for the full mapping.

Documentation map

Start with the two required setup tasks:

1. Data model with localModel() or remoteModel().
2. Columns with DataTableColumn, headers, and cells.

Then add the features your table needs:

• Column groups and sticky columns for wide operational tables
• Column visibility, resizing, and reordering for user-controlled layouts
• Grouped rows for sectioned local and remote datasets
• State persistence for saving table feature state and model action state
• Controlling the table from toolbars and surrounding UI

Visual customization is covered separately:

• styling cells, headers, and rows
• replacing internals
• empty and loading states
• scroll containers
• ambient context — a bag of values available throughout the table’s customizable parts
• header slots — mount sort buttons, filter menus, and other controls inside column headers
• inside the shadcn wrapper — change app-wide defaults by editing the wrapper file
