Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal

php artisan ui:add data-table

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/data-table.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './data-table.js';

Guidance

Structured comparison

Compare structured records across consistent attributes.

Use when

Use when users need exact comparison across rows and columns, plus sorting or filtering. Do not use a table for narrative browsing or small mobile contexts where cards or lists are easier to scan.
Displaying structured records that users need to scan, sort, select, or paginate.
Column relationships matter more than a card-based presentation.

Avoid when

Use when filtering, sorting, selection, and row actions are first-class tasks.
The data is primarily hierarchical; use tree or nested list patterns.
Small-screen users need task-oriented summaries; consider cards or a purpose-built responsive block.

Task length: medium
Interaction cost: medium
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: high
Accessibility risk: high
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: Yes

Preferred alternatives

List or cards for narrative browsing

Anti-patterns

Using cards when exact comparison is primary
Forcing wide tables into narrow layouts without adaptation

Slots

Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.

Capabilities

Behavior

Provides client-side sorting, row selection, and pagination.
Selection state remains keyed to row identity rather than visual position.
Client-side sorting, filtering, row selection, and pagination powered by Alpine.
Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Usage

<x-ui.data-table class="max-w-2xl" />

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Column sort controls expose the current sort direction.
Selection checkboxes need row-specific accessible names.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
