Basis Tables provides a modern table editor inspired by TablePress, with a focus on speed and admin UX:
<ul>
<li>Inline editing: click any cell, type, and it saves automatically via AJAX without page reload</li>
<li>Context menu on right-click: copy/paste, add/delete rows/columns, duplicate, set column values</li>
<li>Column visibility, header sorting, per-column filter icon in header</li>
<li>Modules system to toggle optional features</li>
<li>Accessibility: ARIA live region, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to save cell; Ctrl/Cmd+S for row), compact view</li>
</ul>
Developer-friendly: 
– Nonce-protected AJAX endpoints 
– Migrations ensure DB schema integrity automatically 
– Debug logging built-in (toggleable): see AJAX requests and errors in the console

Basis Tables

Modern, performant tables for WordPress with responsive, accessible features. TablePress-like editor with inline editing and AJAX saving.

This plugin serves as a highly documented example of using WordPress’s built-in WP_List_Table class for plugin development. Previously, WordPress plugins 
had to be created from scratch and were often wildly inconsistent with the rest of the WordPress admin. This example serves to help clarify use of the 
WP_List_Table class for quickly and easily generating consistent, standardized, feature-rich list-tables for WordPress admin screens.
One new admin menu is created: “List Table Example”. This page includes an example table and all the documentation needed to reproduce it. Developers who 
open the PHP file itself will find exceptionally well documented code outlining all the information needed to duplicate this feature.
For more information, please visit the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_List_Table" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_List_Tables</a> page in the WordPress Codex.

Custom List Table Example

Thanks a lot! Created my own admin table for a customer!

Awesome for developers

Saved me a lot of time implementing this class.

Excellent. Well documented.

This is incredibly helpful, well documented, and such a good example to follow. It really, REALLY helped me dig into the WP_List_Table class as well. Thank you for doing this!

What a GEM!!!

Brilliant

Great Plugin.

this is great. Too bad WordPress changed their policy and don't allow adding new example plugins like this. This is super convenient as a starting point to develop my own plugin <3

thanks

A highly documented plugin that demonstrates how to create custom admin list-tables using official WordPress techniques.
