Trying to make Plasmic work

I’m trying to use Plasmic to build a table page.

I’ve logged in, tried some of the Play Plasmic Levels tutorial. It allows me to do horizontal and vertical center layout, and the margin/padding is easy to adjust.

And I started to search for tutorial on table component, found nothing useful.

  • Creating a table using stacks
    • Only official tutorial about table, a table-like layout, no table header, table body, table row
  • Announcing react-table for Plasmic
    • Latest comment is from 2025, Jan 2, 6:35 PM, it said
      • Did someone finally manage to integrate a decent table component into plasmic ? There was this post from last year Seeking advice on integrating React Table with Plasmic 7 but no real useful information except “it’s tricky” -_-
      • another post from same user Antd table component not working ?
  • Ant Table component
    • found a newsletter about antd table, but don’t know how to do it
  • tried to search “table” in their slack,
    • Messages and files on the free version of Slack are hidden after 90 days. Upgrade to a paid plan to see more of your message and file history in search results.
    • What a business model ツ
  • Visual Page Building With Plasmic
    • mentioned table, I still didn’t know how to do it

Finally, I found antd pro component table is working, demo here, but how to add an “action column” with buttons? No documentation, no tutorial online.

I asked Claude 3.5 Sonnet:

If you need help with this specific implementation, you might want to:

  1. Check the Plasmic official documentation
  2. Post a question in their forum
  3. Try reaching out to Plasmic support directly
  4. Look into antd Pro’s documentation for table customization and see if those approaches can be adapted to Plasmic

Conclusion

It might be quick to build prototype with Plasmic, but if you need customization or a little bit complex logic, no documentation, no tutorial, no community support, you’re on your own. (Even Cursor cannot help)
