Adding Custom columns in React Material-table-CodePudding

I'm new to MERN, so any help would be appreciated. Im trying to create a Stocks app. I have retrieved the data using axios and have displayed it in the table using Material-Table.


    import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react'
    import MaterialTable from 'material-table'
    import axios from "axios";
    
    const DataTable = () => {
      const [tableData, setTableData] = useState([]);
      const columns = [
        {title: 'NAME', field: 'name', width: 200},
        {title: 'SYMBOL', field: 'symbol', width: 200},
        {title: 'MARKET CAP', field: 'market_cap', width: 200},
        {title: 'CURRENT PRICE', field: 'price', width: 200}
      
      ]
      useEffect(() => {
            axios
              .get(
                "https://api.nomics.com/v1/currencies/ticker?key=xyz&interval=1d,30d&convert=USD&per-page=100"`
              )
              .then((res) => {
                console.log(res);
                setTableData(res.data);
              })
          }, []);
    
      return (
          <div>
              <div >
          <MaterialTable style={{height: 400, width: '70%', left: '14%', top: 100}}
            data={tableData}
            columns={columns}
            title={"Stock Details Table"}
            options={{
          search: true
          
        }}
            
          />
        </div>
          </div>
        
      )
    }
    
    export default DataTable

But now , i want to be able to save the row data of any company that i select into a mongoDb database and should be able to view all the companies that i selected.

My question is, how do i add a seperate column which has buttons for each company to enable me to add the row data into my mongodb database. I don't know how to add custom data along with the data from the api.

CodePudding user response：

According to the Material-Table documentation, there is a onClick action property exist for the <MaterialTable> component:

onClick: This event will be fired when the button is clicked. Parameters are event and row or rows

So, you need to pass a function to onClick property. This function will get the row detail so you can post it to the server with another API call.

const handleSelectedRow = (event, row) => {
  // console.log(row) to see the data and choose your require to send with API calling
  axios.post("/saveMySelection", row).then(() => {}).catch(() => {}) // don't forget to use then and catch method with proper actions
}


<MaterialTable style={{height: 400, width: '70%', left: '14%', top: 100}}
  data={tableData}
  columns={columns}
  title={"Stock Details Table"}
  options={{
    search: true      
  }}
  actions={[
    {
      icon: 'save',
      tooltip: 'Save User',
      onClick: (event, rowData) => hadnleSelectedRow
    }
  ]}
/>

You can also take a look at the first example of the working version on the documentation link that I mentioned earlier.
