TableBody — spec

Synthesized from MUI TableBody. The container for data rows in a Table. Equivalent to <tbody> with consistent styling defaults.

When to use

  • Inside every Table that displays data rows.
  • For tables with no body (header-only summary), omit.

API

<Table>
  <TableHead>...</TableHead>
  <TableBody>
    {rows.map((row) => (
      <TableRow key={row.id}>
        <TableCell>{row.name}</TableCell>
      </TableRow>
    ))}
  </TableBody>
</Table>
Prop Type Default Description
children ReactNode — TableRow children
component ElementType 'tbody' Override

Accessibility

Renders <tbody> — semantic role for table body comes for free. No additional ARIA needed.

Edge cases

  • Empty state — when rows.length === 0, render a single TableRow with one TableCell spanning all columns containing the empty-state message. Cite knowledge/patterns/empty-states.md.
  • Loading state — show skeleton rows or a single overlay. Don't leave the body empty during fetch — users see a flash.
  • Virtualization — for 100+ rows, use a virtualized table library (TanStack Virtual + MUI Table). MUI's TableBody doesn't virtualize automatically.

Code example

{isLoading ? (
  <TableBody>
    {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, i) => (
      <TableRow key={i}>
        {columns.map((col) => (
          <TableCell key={col.key}><Skeleton /></TableCell>
        ))}
      </TableRow>
    ))}
  </TableBody>
) : rows.length === 0 ? (
  <TableBody>
    <TableRow>
      <TableCell colSpan={columns.length} align="center" sx={{ py: 8 }}>
        결과가 없어요
      </TableCell>
    </TableRow>
  </TableBody>
) : (
  <TableBody>
    {rows.map((row) => <TableRow key={row.id}>...</TableRow>)}
  </TableBody>
)}

Don't

  • Don't render rows outside TableBody (or TableHead / TableFooter).
  • Don't use for content that isn't tabular — Cards / Stacks fit better.
