Table

Usage

Apply one or more modifier classes directly on the <table> element:

<table class="table-hover">
    <thead>
        <tr><th>Name</th><th>Role</th><th>Status</th></tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td>Alice</td><td>Developer</td><td>Active</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Bob</td><td>Designer</td><td>Active</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Charlie</td><td>Manager</td><td>Away</td></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Variants

Hover

Highlights a row when the user hovers over it.

<table class="table-hover">
    ...
</table>

Striped

Applies an alternating background on odd rows for better readability.

<table class="table-striped">
    ...
</table>

Bordered

Adds a 1px border around the table and every cell.

<table class="table-bordered">
    ...
</table>

Compact

Reduces cell padding to 0.25rem 0.5rem for denser data display.

<table class="table-compact">
    ...
</table>

Fullwidth

Forces the table to take up 100% of its container width.

<table class="table-fullwidth">
    ...
</table>

Combining variants

All modifier classes can be combined freely. Common combinations:

Hover + bordered + fullwidth

<table class="table-hover table-bordered table-fullwidth">
    <thead>
        <tr><th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Email</th><th>Role</th></tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td>1</td><td>Alice</td><td>alice@example.com</td><td>Developer</td></tr>
        <tr><td>2</td><td>Bob</td><td>bob@example.com</td><td>Designer</td></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Compact + bordered + fullwidth

<table class="table-compact table-bordered table-fullwidth">
    <thead>
        <tr><th>Key</th><th>Value</th><th>Type</th></tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td>host</td><td>localhost</td><td>string</td></tr>
        <tr><td>port</td><td>8080</td><td>integer</td></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Striped + hover + bordered + fullwidth

<table class="table-striped table-hover table-bordered table-fullwidth">
    ...
</table>

Class reference

Responsive tables

For tables wider than their container, wrap them in a scrollable <div>:

<div style="overflow-x: auto;">
    <table class="table-bordered table-fullwidth">
        ...
    </table>
</div>

Implementation note

The base styles set background-color on individual <th> and <td> cells rather than on <tr> rows. For this reason, .table-hover and .table-striped target th and td elements directly instead of tr. This ensures the hover and stripe backgrounds correctly override default cell styles.

The .table-bordered variant uses color-mix() to blend --mu-muted-color (30%) with --mu-muted-border-color (70%) for visible but not heavy cell borders.

Accessibility

• Use <caption> to provide a descriptive title for the table.
• Use <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> to group rows semantically.
• Use scope="col" on header cells in <thead> and scope="row" on row headers.
• For complex tables, use aria-describedby to reference a longer description.
• Avoid using tables for layout -- only use them for tabular data.
