Contribute and support

I’ve dedicated a sizeable amount of my own free time to build Mantine DataTable and Mantine ContextMenu because:

I think Mantine is currently the best React UI Framework; however people were asking in the community for a data-table / data-grid component;
I’m a keen advocate of open-source and I believe in its power to make our world a better place.

I’m building these projects out of passion, but the constant effort of spending so many hours on open-source development and maintenance takes its toll, and passion alone doesn’t pay the bills. So, if you find Mantine DataTable or Mantine ContextMenu useful and want to support thier future development, please consider sponsoring my work ❤️.

Raise issues and discuss new features

If you find a bug please don’t hesitate to raise an issue.
If you have an idea about a new or missing feature, let’s discuss it here.

But:

Be considerate when asking for a new feature!
Is it really something that would be useful for other people, or just an edge case?
Keep in mind that I am not paid to work on this project, so I have to prioritize my time and effort.

Become a code contributor

If you’re willing to put your effort into it, coming up with a pull-request would be fantastic! 🙌
It would mean you’re one of the few people who don’t just take open-source for granted, but actually understand its true essence and are generous enough to contribute their own time and skills to a project they find useful. 🏅

Here’s the list of people who have already contributed to Mantine DataTable:

Things to consider before contributing:

The repository is holding the code for both Mantine DataTable package and the documentation website you’re looking at.
Since the repo root contains a yarn.lock file, it should be obvious that you have to use Yarn to install dependencies and run scripts.
Use yarn dev to start the development server, yarn lint to check the code for linting errors, and yarn build to check that the code compiles.
Running yarn format will automatically format your code with Prettier, so that it adheres to the project’s coding style.
This is a Next.js project with an app router and makes use of React Server Components.
Make sure you have a good grasp of the above before attempting to contribute.
The Mantine DataTable package code is located in the package folder, while the documentation website code is located in the app folder.
The components folder holds generic React components used by the documentation website.
If you want to implement a new feature or improve an existing one, make sure to add an example page and/or alter the one(s) already referring to it.
It’s not a feature if other people don’t know about it or don’t understand how to use it.
Please target your PRs to the next branch.
Pushing to the main branch triggers a GitHub deployment workflow, so PRs targeting main will be rejected.

Other means of support

If you find this project useful, it would help a lot if you could:
🙏 star the repository
💕 spread the word
👍 endorse me on LinkedIn
or, better yet, hire my services.

Why do repository stars matter

The more stars this repository gets, the more visibility it gains among the Mantine users community. The more users it gets, the more chances that some of those users will become active code contributors willing to put their effort into bringing new features to life and/or fixing bugs.
As the repository gain awareness, my chances of getting hired to work on Mantine-based projects will increase, which in turn will help maintain my vested interest in keeping the project alive.

Thank you for your support,
