Enhancing React Applications with React Suite: Pagination & Grids
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to React Suite
React Suite is a powerful UI library that simplifies the integration of various components into your React application. In this article, we’ll explore how to effectively use it to enhance your application with pagination and grid functionalities.
Section 1.1: Implementing Pagination
With React Suite, you can effortlessly add pagination controls using the Pagination component. Here’s a basic implementation:
import React from "react";
import { Pagination } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Pagination
pages={5}
activePage={1}
size="lg"
/>
);
}
In the above example, the pages prop determines how many pagination links are visible, while activePage specifies the currently active page. You can adjust the size of the pagination buttons using the size prop, with options such as 'lg' for large, 'sm' for small, and 'xs' for extra small.
To navigate through the pages, you can utilize additional props:
import React from "react";
import { Pagination } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Pagination
pages={5}
activePage={1}
prev
next
first
last
/>
);
}
Here, prev allows you to go to the previous page, next to the next page, first to jump to the start, and last to reach the end.
Section 1.2: Adding Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumb navigation can be easily integrated using the Breadcrumb component from React Suite. Here’s an example:
import React from "react";
import { Breadcrumb } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Breadcrumb>
<Breadcrumb.Item href="#">Home</Breadcrumb.Item>
<Breadcrumb.Item href="#">Components</Breadcrumb.Item>
<Breadcrumb.Item active>Breadcrumb</Breadcrumb.Item>
</Breadcrumb>
);
}
The Breadcrumb.Item is used for each breadcrumb element, and you can customize the separator by using the separator prop.
Section 1.3: Constructing Grids
To create a grid layout, you can utilize the Grid, Row, and Col components. Here’s a simple example:
import React from "react";
import { Grid, Row, Col } from "rsuite";
import "rsuite/dist/styles/rsuite-default.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<Grid>
<Row>
<Col xs={6}>Column 1</Col>
<Col xs={6}>Column 2</Col>
<Col xs={6}>Column 3</Col>
<Col xs={6}>Column 4</Col>
</Row>
</Grid>
);
}
In this setup, the xs prop defines how many columns the Col component will occupy out of a total of 24, with breakpoints such as extra-small, small, medium, and large.
