# 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].
_Example_:
``` markdown
| 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 |
[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"
_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]:
=== ":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://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tablesort/5.2.1/tablesort.min.js
- javascripts/tablesort.js
```
Note that [tablesort] provides alternative comparison implementations like
numbers, filesizes, dates and month names. See the [tablesort documentation]
[tablesort] for more information.
_Example_:
``` markdown
| 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 |
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tablesort/5.2.1/tablesort.min.js"></script>
<script>
var tables = document.querySelectorAll("article table")
new Tablesort(tables.item(tables.length - 1));
</script>
