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.

Configuration

None.

Usage

Using data tables

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.

Example:

| Method      | Description                          |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |

Result:

Method	Description
`GET`	:material-check: Fetch resource
`PUT`	:material-check-all: Update resource
`DELETE`	:material-close: Delete resource

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"

_Example_:

``` markdown hl_lines="2"
| Method      | Description                          |
| :---------- | :----------------------------------- |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |
```

_Result_:

| Method      | Description                          |
| :---------- | :----------------------------------- |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |

=== "Center"

_Example_:

``` markdown hl_lines="2"
| Method      | Description                          |
| :---------: | :----------------------------------: |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |
```

_Result_:

| Method      | Description                          |
| :---------: | :----------------------------------: |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |

=== "Right"

_Example_:

``` markdown hl_lines="2"
| Method      | Description                          |
| ----------: | -----------------------------------: |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |
```

_Result_:

| Method      | Description                          |
| ----------: | -----------------------------------: |
| `GET`       | :material-check:     Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | :material-check-all: Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | :material-close:     Delete resource |

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:

=== "docs/javascripts/tables.js"

``` js
app.document$.subscribe(function() {
  var tables = document.querySelectorAll("article table")
  tables.forEach(function(table) {
    new Tablesort(table)
  })
})
```

=== "mkdocs.yml"

``` yaml
extra_javascript:
  - https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tablesort/5.2.1/tablesort.min.js
  - javascripts/tables.js
```

Note that tablesort provides alternative comparison implementations like numbers, dates, filesizes and month names. See the official documentation for more information.
