MRT logoMaterial React Table

Lazy Detail Panel Example

Fetching the additional data for the detail panels only after the user clicks to expand the row can be a good way to improve performance, and it is pretty easy to implement in Material React Table.

It's even easier if you are using React Query. In this example, react query is used to fetch the data for the detail panel, but only after the user clicks to expand the row. The data is also cached for a certain period of time so that when the detail panel is closed and reopened, the data is already available and won't need to be re-fetched.
