Data Grid - Column menu

Customize your columns menu.

Column menu

Each column header comes with a column menu with quickly accessible Data Grid features like column visibility, sorting, filtering, and others.

It can be accessed by clicking on the 3-dots icon that appears on hover on a header cell or when focusing on a column header and pressing Ctrl+Enter (or ⌘ Command+Enter on macOS).

Customize column menu items

You can customize the column menu items by passing the components and componentsProps props to the <GridColumnMenu /> component:

• components - use this prop to override default column menu components or add new components.
• componentsProps - use this prop to override or pass displayOrder for column menu items. You can also use this to pass extra props to custom column menu components.

Adding a menu item

To add a new menu item, create a new item slot and pass it to the components prop. In the example below, the new slot is called ColumnMenuUserItem but you can choose any name and it'll be added to the menu automatically. You can also set the displayOrder (default 100) or pass new props to the components using componentsProps prop.

function CustomColumnMenu(props: GridColumnMenuProps) {
  return (
    <GridColumnMenu
      {...props}
      components={{
        // Add new item
        ColumnMenuUserItem: CustomUserItem,
      }}
      componentsProps={{
        columnMenuUserItem: {
          // set `displayOrder` for the new item
          displayOrder: 15,
          // Additional props
          myCustomValue: 'Do custom action',
          myCustomHandler: () => alert('Custom handler fired'),
        },
      }}
    />
  );
}

Overriding default menu items

Use the components prop to override default menu items. Check this table to know the overridable slot name for each menu item.

function CustomColumnMenu(props: GridColumnMenuProps) {
  return (
    <GridColumnMenu
      {...props}
      components={{
        // Override `ColumnMenuFilterItem` component
        ColumnMenuFilterItem: CustomFilterItem,
      }}
    />
  );
}

Hiding a menu item

To hide a menu item, you can set its respective slot in components to null. Check this table to know the slot name for each menu item.

function CustomColumnMenu(props: GridColumnMenuProps) {
  return (
    <GridColumnMenu
      {...props}
      components={{
        // Hide `ColumnMenuColumnsItem`
        ColumnMenuColumnsItem: null,
      }}
    />
  );
}

Reordering menu items

Every item is assigned a displayOrder based on which it is shown before or after other items. It works in ascending order; the smaller the number is, the earlier it is displayed on the list. For new items default value for displayOrder is 100.

You can override displayOrder for the default or new items in componentsProps.

Check this table to see default displayOrder for each menu item.

function CustomColumnMenu(props: GridColumnMenuProps) {
  return (
    <GridColumnMenu
      {...props}
      componentsProps={{
        // Swap positions of filter and sort items
        columnMenuFilterItem: {
          displayOrder: 0, // Previously `10`
        },
        columnMenuSortItem: {
          displayOrder: 10, // Previously `0`
        },
      }}
    />
  );
}

Default column menu items

As a reference, here are the column menu components along with the default item components and displayOrder.

Custom menu component

You can also customize and replace the column menu by passing a fully custom component to the ColumnMenu slot of the Data Grid. If you want to add some of the default menu items to your custom component, you can import and re-use them.

Disable column menu

By default, each column header has the column menu enabled. To disable the column menu, set the prop disableColumnMenu={true}.
