Data Grid - Pagination

Easily paginate your rows and only fetch what you need.

Size of the page

The DataGrid (MIT license) is limited to pages of up to 100 rows. If you want larger pages, you will need to upgrade to Pro plan or above.

By default, each page contains 100 rows. The user can change the size of the page through the selector in the footer.

Page size options

You can configure the page size the user can choose from with the pageSizeOptions prop.

Automatic page size

Use the autoPageSize prop to auto-scale the pageSize to match the container height and the max number of rows that can be displayed without a vertical scroll bar.

Pagination model

The pagination model is an object containing the current page and the size of the page. The default value is { page: 0, pageSize: 100 }. To change the default value, make it controlled by paginationModel prop or initialize a custom value using initialState.pagination.paginationModel.

Initializing the pagination model

To initialize the pagination model without controlling it, provide the paginationModel to the initialState prop. If you don't provide a value for one of the properties, the default value will be used.

<DataGrid
  initialState={{
    pagination: {
      paginationModel: { pageSize: 25, page: 0 },
    },
  }}
/>

Controlled pagination model

Pass the paginationModel prop to control the size and current page of the grid. You can use the onPaginationModelChange prop to listen to changes to the paginationModel and update the prop accordingly.

const [paginationModel, setPaginationModel] = React.useState({
  pageSize: 25,
  page: 0,
});

<DataGrid
  paginationModel={paginationModel}
  onPaginationModelChange={setPaginationModel}
/>;

Server-side pagination

By default, the pagination is handled on the client. This means you have to give the rows of all pages to the data grid. If your dataset is too big, and you only want to fetch the current page, you can use server-side pagination.

Basic implementation

  • Set the prop paginationMode to server
  • Provide a rowCount prop to let the data grid know how many pages there are
  • Use the onPaginationModelChange prop callback to load the rows when the page changes

Since rowCount prop is used to compute the number of available pages, switching it to undefined during loading reset page to zero. To avoid this problem, you can keep the previous value of rowCount while loading as follow:

const [rowCountState, setRowCountState] = React.useState(rowCount);
React.useEffect(() => {
  setRowCountState((prevRowCountState) =>
    rowCount !== undefined ? rowCount : prevRowCountState,
  );
}, [rowCount, setRowCountState]);

<DataGrid rowCount={rowCountState} />;
Press Enter to start editing

Cursor implementation

You can also handle servers with cursor-based pagination. To do so, you just have to keep track of the next cursor associated with each page you fetched.

Custom pagination UI

You can customize the rendering of the pagination in the footer following the component section of the documentation.

apiRef

The grid exposes a set of methods that enables all of these features using the imperative apiRef. To know more about how to use it, check the API Object section.

Signature:
setPage: (page: number) => void

setPageSize: (pageSize: number) => void
Signature:
setPaginationModel: (model: GridPaginationModel) => void
