There are multiple ways to update and display refreshed table data in React depending on the specific use case. One common approach is to use React state to store the data and then update the state when necessary. Here are the steps:

  1. Initialize state: In the constructor or functional component, initialize a state variable to hold the table data. For example, state = { tableData: [] }.

  2. Fetch data: When the component mounts, use the componentDidMount() lifecycle method to fetch the data from an API or other source. Update the state variable with the returned data using this.setState(). For example:

componentDidMount() {
  fetchData()
    .then(data => {
      this.setState({ tableData: data });
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
    });
}
  1. Render table: In the render() method, pass the table data from state to the table component as props. For example:
render() {
  const { tableData } = this.state;
  return (
    <Table data={tableData} />
  );
}
  1. Update data: When the data needs to be refreshed, call the fetchData() method again and update the state variable using this.setState(). This will trigger a re-render of the component with the new data. For example:
handleRefresh() {
  fetchData()
    .then(data => {
      this.setState({ tableData: data });
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
    });
}

Overall, the key is to use React state to store and update the data, and pass it down to the table component as props. Whenever the data needs to be refreshed, simply update the state variable and the component will be re-rendered with the new data.
