A React paginated table is useful when presenting data in an organised and readable format. It’s a way to present information in a manageable and organized manner, especially when dealing with a large amount of data that wouldn’t fit comfortably on a single page.
This tutorial shows you how to create your own paginated table fast and easy in React JS without using DataTables or any other framework for that matter.

Key features of a paginated table include:
Let’s see how to create a paginated table from an API data.
