# Data tables
Material for MkDocs defines default styles for data tables an excellent way
of rendering tabular data in project documentation. Furthermore, customizations
like [sortable tables] can be achieved with a third-party library and some
[additional JavaScript].
[sortable tables]: #sortable-tables
[additional JavaScript]: ../customization.md#additional-javascript
## Configuration
This configuration enables Markdown table support, which should normally be
enabled by default, but to be sure, add the following lines to `mkdocs.yml`:
``` yaml
markdown_extensions:
- tables
```
See additional configuration options:
- [Tables]
[Tables]: ../setup/extensions/python-markdown.md#tables
## Usage
Data tables can be used at any position in your project documentation and can
contain arbitrary Markdown, including inline code blocks, as well as [icons and
emojis]:
``` markdown title="Data table"
| Method | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
```
<div class="result" markdown>
| Method | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
</div>
[icons and emojis]: icons-emojis.md
### Column alignment
If you want to align a specific column to the `left`, `center` or `right`, you
can use the [regular Markdown syntax] placing `:` characters at the beginning
and/or end of the divider.
=== "Left"
``` markdown hl_lines="2" title="Data table, columns aligned to left"
| Method | Description |
| :---------- | :----------------------------------- |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
```
<div class="result" markdown>
| Method | Description |
| :---------- | :----------------------------------- |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
</div>
=== "Center"
``` markdown hl_lines="2" title="Data table, columns centered"
| Method | Description |
| :---------: | :----------------------------------: |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
```
<div class="result" markdown>
| Method | Description |
| :---------: | :----------------------------------: |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
</div>
=== "Right"
``` markdown hl_lines="2" title="Data table, columns aligned to right"
| Method | Description |
| ----------: | -----------------------------------: |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
```
<div class="result" markdown>
| Method | Description |
| ----------: | -----------------------------------: |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
</div>

## Customization
### Sortable tables
If you want to make data tables sortable, you can add [tablesort], which is
natively integrated with Material for MkDocs and will also work with [instant
loading] via [additional JavaScript]:
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: `docs/javascripts/tablesort.js`"
``` js
document$.subscribe(function() {
var tables = document.querySelectorAll("article table:not([class])")
tables.forEach(function(table) {
new Tablesort(table)
})
})
```
=== ":octicons-file-code-16: `mkdocs.yml`"
``` yaml
extra_javascript:
- https://unpkg.com/tablesort@5.3.0/dist/tablesort.min.js
- javascripts/tablesort.js
```
After applying the customization, data tables can be sorted by clicking on a
column:
``` markdown title="Data table, columns sortable"
| Method | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
```
<div class="result" markdown>
| Method | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `GET` | :material-check: Fetch resource |
| `PUT` | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE` | :material-close: Delete resource |
</div>
Note that [tablesort] provides alternative comparison implementations like
numbers, filesizes, dates and month names. See the [tablesort documentation]
[tablesort] for more information.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/tablesort@5.3.0/dist/tablesort.min.js"></script>
<script>
var tables = document.querySelectorAll("article table")
new Tablesort(tables.item(tables.length - 1));
</script>

### Import table from file
[:octicons-cpu-24: Plugin][table-reader-docs]
You can also import data from a CSV or Excel file using the plugin [`mkdocs-table-reader-plugin`][table-reader-docs].
First, you will need to install it with `pip`:
```sh
pip install mkdocs-table-reader-plugin
```
Then extend the `mkdocs.yml` file like this:
```yaml
plugins:
- table-reader
```
Then, it is a simple process to import the data in to the Markdown files.
=== "Import data from :fontawesome-solid-file-csv: CSV file"
Let's use a :fontawesome-solid-file-csv: CSV in the local directory. The file may look like this:
```csv title="./data.csv"
col1,col2,col3
r1c1,r1c2,r1c3
r2c1,r2c2,r2c3
r3c1,r3c2,r3c3
```
You can then add it to your :fontawesome-solid-file-arrow-down: Markdown page like this:
```md title="./markdown.md"
...
{{ read_csv('./data.csv') }}
...
```
<div class="result" markdown>
...
col1|col2|col3
----|----|----
r1c1|r1c2|r1c3
r2c1|r2c2|r2c3
r3c1|r3c2|r3c3
...
</div>
=== "Import data from :fontawesome-solid-file-excel: Excel file"
Let's use an :fontawesome-solid-file-excel: Excel file in the local directory. The file may look like this:
![][excel-file]{width="300px"}
[excel-file]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/f32ks.png
And you can add it to your :fontawesome-solid-file-arrow-down: Markdown page like this:
```md title="./markdown.md"
...
{{ read_excel('./Book1.xlsx', engine='openpyxl') }}
...
```
<div class="result" markdown>
It will then return a result like this:
col1|col2|col3
----|----|----
r1c1|r1c2|r1c3
r2c1|r2c2|r2c3
r3c1|r3c2|r3c3
</div>
!!! warning "Warning"
You may receive an error if you use `engine='openpyxl'`.
If this happens, you can resolve it by installing it using `pip`:
```sh
pip install openpyxl
```

[pandas-read_excel-engine]: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_excel.html#:~:text=enginestr%2C%20default%20None
!!! tip "Pro Tip: Multiple Sheets"
If your Excel file contains multiple sheets, you may want to extend the function by adding the `sheet_name` parameter.
It would look like this:
```md title="./markdown.md"
...
{{ read_excel('./Book1.xlsx', engine='openpyxl', sheet_name="Sheet1") }}
...
```
By default, Pandas will grab the first sheet in the workbook.

=== "Import data from other file types"
The plugin [`mkdocs-table-reader-plugin`][table-reader-docs] also provides readers for other formats:
<div class="mdx-columns" markdown>
- [`read_csv`][table-reader-read_csv]
- [`read_fwf`][table-reader-read_fwf]
- [`read_yaml`][table-reader-read_yaml]
- [`read_table`][table-reader-read_table]
- [`read_json`][table-reader-read_json]
- [`read_excel`][table-reader-read_excel]
- [`read_raw`][table-reader-read_raw]
</div>
