Data view toolbar

The data view toolbar component renders a default opinionated data view toolbar above or below the data section.

Data view toolbar can contain pagination, bulk select, filters, actions, or other custom child content. To pass child items to the toolbar, use the toolbar item component or predefined <DataViewToolbar> props for specific use cases.

You can further customize toolbar interactions by referring to the additional documentation:

• Actions
• Pagination
• Selection
• Filters

To support additional user needs, you can pass relevant actions to the toolbar via actions. Add standard PatternFly actions (like buttons) or choose predefined responsive actions which ensure the responsive behavior of multiple actions in 1 toolbar.

To help users navigate data records that span multiple pages, add pagination support to your toolbar.

The data view toolbar can display a pagination using the pagination prop. You can also pass a custom ouiaId to the toolbar for testing purposes. You can also persist pagination values in the URL to make it easier to share or bookmark specific pages of your data.

The useDataViewPagination hook manages the pagination state of the data view.

Initial values:

• perPage initial value.
• Optional page initial value.
• Optional searchParams object.
• Optional setSearchParams function.

While the hook works seamlessly with the React Router library, you do not need to use it to take advantage of URL persistence. The searchParams and setSearchParams props can be managed using native browser APIs (URLSearchParams and window.history.pushState) or any other routing library of your choice. If you don't pass these two props, the pagination state will be stored internally without the URL usage.

You can also pass custom pageParam or perPageParam names, renaming the pagination parameters in the URL.

The retrieved values are named to match the PatternFly pagination component props.

Return values:

• Current page number.
• onSetPage to modify current page.
• Items perPage value.
• onPerPageSelect to modify per page value.

To allow users to select data records inside the data view, add selection support that displays a row's selection state.

The data view toolbar can display a bulk selection component by using the predefined component group extension bulk select component.

The useDataViewSelection hook manages the selection state of the data view.

Initial values:

• Optional initialSelected array of record's identifiers selected by default.
• matchOption function to check if the record is selected.
  • When no matchOption is passed, the Array.prototype.includes() operation is performed on the selected array.

Return values:

• selected array of currently selected records.
• isSelected function returning the selection state for the record.
• onSelect callback to modify the selection state. This accepts the isSelecting flag (indicates if records are being selected or deselected) and items (affected records).

To allow users to filter data records in the data view, add filtering support that displays the applied filter chips.

The data view toolbar can include a set of filters by passing a React node to the filters property. You can use the predefined components <DataViewFilters>, <DataViewTextFilter>, and <DataViewCheckboxFilter> to customize and handle filtering directly in the toolbar. The <DataViewFilters> component is a wrapper that allows conditional filtering using multiple attributes. If you need just a single filter, you can use <DataViewTextFilter>, <DataViewCheckboxFilter>, or a different filter component alone. Props of these filter components are listed in the props section of this page.

You can either pass a value and onChange event to every filter separately, or you can pass values and onChange to the <DataViewFilters> wrapper, which makes them available to its children. Props directly passed to child filters have a higher priority than the "inherited" ones.

The useDataViewFilters hook manages the filter state of the data view. It allows you to define default filter values, synchronize filter state with URL parameters, and handle filter changes efficiently.

Initial values:

• initialFilters object with default filter values (if the filter param allows multiple values, pass an array).
• Optional searchParams object for managing URL-based filter state.
• Optional setSearchParams function to update the URL when filters are modified.

The useDataViewFilters hook works well with the React Router library to support URL-based filtering. Alternatively, you can manage the filter state in the URL using URLSearchParams and window.history.pushState APIs, or other routing libraries. If no URL parameters are provided, the filter state is managed internally.

Return values:

• filters object representing the current filter values.
• onSetFilters function to update the filter state.
• clearAllFilters function to reset all filters to their initial values.
