About Shadcn Tables Blocks
A data table organizes records into rows and columns and gives people the tools to find, compare and update them, from search and filters to sorting, bulk actions and pagination. These 25 shadcn table blocks cover the tables admin dashboards need most: invoices and payments, members and contacts, tasks and tickets, products, orders and inventory.
Like the rest of our shadcn blocks, every table is built with React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS on top of shadcn ui components such as Table, Card, Badge, Checkbox, DropdownMenu, InputGroup, Select, Dialog and Sheet. Most blocks use @tanstack/react-table for sorting, filtering and selection, every action updates real component state, and each one ships with sample data, an empty state and responsive column rules that follow your light and dark theme.
Key Elements of a Data Table
- Header with context: a title plus a live summary, such as the amount outstanding or how many items are on shift.
- Toolbar: search, status tabs or filter menus that match the way users look for records.
- Readable cells: status badges, avatars, progress bars and right aligned tabular numbers for amounts.
- Row actions: a menu or inline buttons for the common edits, plus checkboxes and a bulk bar for many rows at once.
- Footer: totals, a result count or pagination so users always know where they are in the list.
- Empty state: a message and a reset action when filters return no rows.
Where and Why to Use Table Blocks
Building a good table takes more time than it looks: column priority on small screens, filter state, selection that survives sorting, keyboard friendly menus and an empty state. These blocks solve those details once, so you can focus on your data. Because they are standard shadcn components styled with Tailwind CSS, they match the cards, forms and dialogs in the rest of your shadcn ui dashboard.
- Billing and finance: invoices, receivables, expense claims, card transactions and payouts.
- User management: workspace members, support agents, subscribers and contact directories.
- Project and task tracking: checklists, tickets, sprint tasks, client requests and project lists.
- E-commerce operations: product catalogs, inventory, wholesale orders and stock levels.
- CRM records: people lists with segments and a detailed contact record.
- Industry tools: case pipelines, property listings and content calendars.
Table Blocks in This Collection
Billing and finance
- Table 1: A compact invoice list for a dashboard home page where users mostly check what is still unpaid.
- Table 2: Use it on a quote or checkout review screen where customers adjust quantities and see the total update.
- Table 7: Fits approval workflows such as expense claims, where a manager processes several rows together and confirms deletions.
- Table 11: An accounts payable view for teams that move supplier bills from draft through review to paid.
- Table 12: A receivables workspace that combines summary tiles, partial payment tracking and invoice creation in one place.

People and contacts
- Table 5: A workspace settings table for changing roles, one member at a time or in bulk.
- Table 9: Built for community or forum admins who feature, suspend and add members.
- Table 10: A staffing roster for support teams that manage shifts across a long, paginated list.
- Table 13: Fits newsletters and memberships, where card expiry and engagement matter more than roles.
- Table 19: A CRM people list for teams that segment contacts and edit them in a side panel.

- Table 23: A sprint planner that groups tasks and switches between list and board.
Products, orders and inventory
- Table 4: A storefront product list for small catalogs with quick duplicate and archive actions.
- Table 18: Suits larger inventories that need page sizes, status filters and a spreadsheet export.
- Table 20: Use it for B2B orders where each order has several line items worth checking without leaving the list.
- Table 24: Fits wide data sets like real estate listings, with a pinned first column and a card grid alternative.
- Table 25: A long stock list inside a fixed height card where the header row stays visible while scrolling.

Accessibility
The blocks use real table markup from the shadcn Table component, and controls carry descriptive labels: row checkboxes read “Select” plus the record name, select all checkboxes have their own label, sort buttons use aria-labels like “Sort by amount”, and row menu triggers name the record they act on. Action columns have an sr-only header, pagination sits in a nav with aria-label=“Pagination” and marks the current page with aria-current in Table 9, 10, 16, 18, 19 and 24. Table 20 links its expand button to the detail row with aria-expanded and aria-controls, Table 21 uses th cells with scope attributes, and Table 7 and 21 announce changes through aria-live regions.
Some details are worth adding in your project. The sortable headers do not set aria-sort, so screen readers do not hear the current sort order. In Table 19 and Table 20 a whole row responds to clicks, which only works with a mouse, although each row also has a keyboard reachable button for the same action. Status colors are always paired with a text label, so keep that pattern when you add new states.
Tables FAQ
npx shadcn@latest add @shadcnuikit/tables1 and replace the number with 2 to 7 for the others, for example npx shadcn@latest add @shadcnuikit/tables7. Table 8 to Table 25 are part of All Access.useReactTable for sorting, filtering, selection and pagination. Table 14 uses it headlessly to drive a list layout. Table 2, Table 7, Table 8, Table 21, Table 23 and Table 25 work with plain React state.hidden sm:table-cell or hidden lg:table-cell, and the first column repeats key details such as status or date in a small line under the name. Table 24 instead keeps a wide table that scrolls sideways with the property column pinned, and Table 25 caps the body at 420px with a sticky header.initialInvoices, initialMembers or initialOrders and keeps it in useState. Load your records into that state instead, keep the same fields or rename them in the column definitions, and replace the setState calls inside actions like markPaid, removeMembers or updateStatus with requests to your API.
