Problem

To override the datagrid headers (e.g. to have a header span over 2 columns), one has to copy the entire Datagrid code.

Solution

By default, <Datagrid> renders its header using <DatagridHeader>, an internal react-admin component. You can pass a custom component as the header prop to override that default. This can be useful e.g. to add a second header row, or to create headers spanning multiple columns.

For instance, here is a simple datagrid header that displays column names with no sort and no "select all" button:

import { TableHead, TableRow, TableCell } from '@material-ui/core';

const DatagridHeader = ({ children }) => (
    <TableHead>
        <TableRow>
            <TableCell></TableCell> {/* empty cell to account for the select row checkbox in the body */}
            {Children.map(children, child => (
                <TableCell key={child.props.source}>
                    {child.props.source}
                </TableCell>
            ))}
        </TableRow>
    </TableHead>
);

const PostList = props => (
    <List {...props}>
        <Datagrid header={<DatagridHeader />}>
            {/* ... */}
        </Datagrid>
    </List>
);

Bonus: Easier maintenance due to smaller files
