How to Create a Selectable DataTable with Dynamically Generated Rows in FlutterFlow

Widgets & Design

I'm working on a FlutterFlow project where I need to implement a data table with a feature that allows users to select entire rows or individual rows. The rows in the data table are generated dynamically.

Here's what I'm trying to achieve:

  • Selectable Rows: Users should be able to click on a checkbox in the table header to select all rows (except the header), or they can individually select rows by clicking on a checkbox within each row.

  • Dynamic Row Generation: The number of rows in the table should be determined by data fetched from a backend or other source.

I've tried using FlutterFlow's built-in DataTable component, but I'm struggling to implement the desired functionality. I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to approach this using custom widgets or other techniques.

Any guidance or code examples would be greatly appreciated!

What have you tried so far?

I've tried implementing the selectable data table functionality using a toggle icon in the table header. However, I'm still encountering issues with selecting individual rows or deselecting all rows when the toggle icon is unchecked.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
