Table Row Component

component

Overview

Make a row scannable, selectable, and action-ready. This entry is written as a registry-ready component spec: useful to humans, copyable by AI tools, and easy to map to a future shadcn registry item.

Accessibility notes

Use semantic HTML or the matching Radix primitive before custom roles.
Keep focus-visible states obvious without adding decorative glow.
Ensure icon-only controls have an accessible label.
Do not rely on color alone for state or validation.

shadcn/ui table

shadcn implementation

No extra primitive required beyond React and Tailwind.

Use shadcn tokens for background, border, ring, muted text, radius, and state variants. Keep component-specific classes local and copyable.

optional adapter

HeroUI mapping

Table Row can map to a HeroUI component only as an optional adapter. Keep UnBoring copy and token language framework-neutral.

AI Prompt

Create a Table Row component for an AI-generated interface using shadcn-style composition. Use shadcn/ui table as the implementation base. The component should support default, muted, outline, ghost, destructive variants and default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading states. Include clear anatomy for Table, Header, Row, Cell, Status badge, Row action. Keep the visual language black, white, and gray with subtle borders, practical spacing, accessible focus states, and no decorative noise.

Negative Prompt

Do not invent a custom component API when shadcn/ui table already covers the base behavior. Avoid random gradients, oversized radii, unclear disabled states, missing labels, icon-only controls without accessible names, and variants that change layout unexpectedly.

Implementation Notes

Base: shadcn/ui table
Primitive: none
Tailwind: Use shadcn tokens for background, border, ring, muted text, radius, and state variants. Keep component-specific classes local and copyable.
Dependency: No extra primitive required beyond React and Tailwind.

Usage notes

Short guidance for humans and AI tools before copying the component.

What is this component for?

Table Row helps teams make a row scannable, selectable, and action-ready. It should feel like a reusable product primitive, not a one-off decoration.

How should I implement it?

Start from shadcn/ui table. No extra primitive required beyond React and Tailwind. Keep variants token-driven and keep states predictable.

What should I avoid?

Do not invent a custom component API when shadcn/ui table already covers the base behavior. Avoid random gradients, oversized radii, unclear disabled states, missing labels, icon-only controls without accessible names, and variants that change layout unexpectedly.
