VueQuintable is a table wrapper for Vue.js 2.x. It is build with bootstrap 5.x. High configurable, easy to use, flexible and responsive.
These instructions will get you running VueQuintable for your project for development purposes.
VueQuintable is a vue.js package and uses bootstrap by default. Please install both before using the package. If you want to use ajax functionalities please install axios as it is used by VueQuintable.
npm:
npm install --save axios
yarn:
yarn add axios
npm:
npm install --save bootstrap
npm install --save @popperjs/core
npm install --save @sensetence/vue-quintable
yarn:
yarn add bootstrap
yarn add @popperjs/core
yarn add @sensetence/vue-quintable
import Vue from 'vue'
//use bootstrap
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
import "@sensetence/vue-quintable/dist/vue-quintable.css"
import VueTable from '@sensetence/vue-quintable'
Vue.use(VueTable);
You can either install VueQuintable via bower
bower install --save https://github.com/sensetence/vue-quintable
or just download the source and include the scripts and styles in dist folder to use VueQuintable for your browser page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/vue/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/project/dist/vue-quintable.umd.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/project/dist/vue-quintable.css"></link>
Vue.use(window["vue-quintable"]);
These points will convince you that VueQuintable is the last table plugin you will ever need
- Responsive columns which will be rendered as additional rows
- Pagination
- Sort/Multi-sort
- Search
- Custom Filters
- Recursive filter groups with relations
- Select rows
- Custom search keywords and filter values for rows
- Vue-binded values for columns and rows
- Nested VueQuintables
- Vue components inside tables
- Custom cell formatters
You can define some slots to customize the table as you want to.
- header | used for content above the table
- before-search | used for content before the search bar
- after-search | used for content after the search bar
- after-search-container | used for content before the search bar container
- footer | used for content below the table
- no-results | used for placeholder if there are no table entries due to filtering etc.
- loading | custom loader
- cell-complete | deprecated
- cell-content | custom content for cells, cell is delivered as slot scope. Used also for generated and sticky cells
- generated-cell-complete | deprecated
- generated-cell-content | custom content for generated cells
- sticky-cell-complete | deprecated
- sticky-cell-content | custom content for sticky cells
<template v-slot:header>Your HTML-Code</template>
//for content of regular table cells
<template v-slot:cell-content="{cell}">
<button v-if="cell.any_property ==='any_value'" class="cell-content-button">
{{cell.any_property}}
</button>
</template>
//for content of responsive generated table cells
<template v-slot:generated-cell-content="{cell}">
<button v-if="cell.any_property ==='any_value'" class="generated-cell-content--button">
{{cell.any_property}}
</button>
</template>
//for content of sticky table cells
<template v-slot:sticky-cell-content="{cell}">
<button v-if="cell.any_property ==='any_value'" class="sticky-cell-content-button">
{{cell.any_property}}
</button>
</template>
//for same content of regular, responsive generated and sticky table cells
<template v-for="slotName in ['cell-content','generated-cell-content','sticky-cell-content']" #[slotName]="{cell}">
<button v-if="cell.any_property ==='any_value'" :key="`button-${slotName}`" :class="`${slotName}`-cell-button">
{{cell.any_property}}
</button>

Lets have a look on an example for rows and cells
//Table with columns "Name","Age","Birth Place","Job"
[
//simple row as array
[
{
text:"John Doe"
},
{
text:50
},
{
text:"Trainee"
},
],
//advances row as object
{
cells:[
{
html:"<b>Max</b> Mustermann",
classes:"special-td",
align:"end",
},
{
component:{
name:"age-component",
props:{
age:20,
}
},
},
{
text:"Trainee"
},
]
}
]
To use a custom component inside a VueQuintable you have to define it as the following:
<template>
<div @click="check">
Age: {{age}}
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props:["age"],
methods: {
check() {
//emit the pre-defined event for component actions
//handled from VueQuintable by "component:event"
this.$emit("action",
{
age:this.age,
}
)
}
}
}
</script>
Import and use the Component in your Code:
import TestComponent from "./components/TestComponent.vue"
Vue.component(
"test-component",
TestComponent.default || TestComponent
);
Key | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
values | Mixed|Array | Yes | Compare values. Can be single value or array of values which will match the filter values of rows. |
operator | String | No | Operator for comparing. The defined operators are: equal, greater, less, greaterEqual, lessEqual, startsWith, endsWith, contains, notContains, matches |
compare | Function | No | Custom compare function. See Below. |
This example shows selected values for active, printable, first_name, middle_name, and last_name filters. Operators can be:
{
active:true,
printable:false,
first_name:
{
operator:"contains",
values:["Jo","ja"],
},
middle_name:
{
compare:"matches",
values:new RegExp("r.+a","g"),
},
last_name:
{
compare:(value,rowValue)=>{
return rowValue.indexOf(value) === 2;
},
values:"a",
}
}
Key | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
items | Object[] | List that contains Object of filter names or nested groups related to the group |
relation | String{"OR"|"AND"} | Relation between the items |
This filter groups example will cause to show rows that have filter matching filter values for selected name OR active filter AND selected printable filter. This groups are infinitely nestable.
[
{
items:[
{
items:[
{
name:"name"
},
{
name:"active"
}
],
relation:"OR",
},
{
items:[
{
name:"printable"
}
],
}
],
relation:"AND"
}
],
These examples depict a sorting ordered second column (index=1) before first column (index=0). You can use Objects to set the ascending or descending order optionally. The Default will be asc=true, column index starts on zero.
//simple
[
1,0
]
//advanced
[
{
index:1,
asc:false
},
{
index:0,
asc:true
},
]
A simple basic example to show the usage of VueQuintable. More examples are included in the project and can be started with:
npm run start
<template>
<VueQuintable :config="config" :rows="rows"></VueQuintable>
</template>
<script>
import VueQuintable from './components/VueQuintable.vue
...
data() {
return {
config: {
columns: [
{
headline: "Name",
}, {
headline: "Age",
}, {
headline: "Birth Place",
breakpoint: "md"
}, {
headline: "Job",
sticky: true,
}
],
},
rows: [
[
{
text: "Mia Wong"
},
{
text: 50
},
{
text: "Beijing"
},
{
text: "Trainee"
},
],
[
{
text: "Peter Stanbridge"
},
{
text: 18
},
{
text: "London"
},
{
text: "Trainee"
},
],
[
{
text: "Natalie Lee-Walsh"
},
{
text: 25
},
{
text: "Dublin"
},
{
text: "Trainee"
},
],
],
}
}
...
</script>
<template>
...
<VueQuintable :loading="loading" :config="remoteConfig" :rows="remoteRows" />
...
</template>
<script>
import axios from 'axios'
...
data(){
return {
loading:false,
remoteConfig:null,
remoteRows:null
...
mounted(){
this.loading = true;
axios.get("http://your.server.url/api/endpoint").then((response)=>{
this.remoteRows = response.data.rows;
this.remoteConfig = response.data.config;
this.loading = false;
});
}
...
</script>
The request for the ajax handling on server has got the following structure:
{
//String search query
search:"some query",
//Object Filters, see above
filters:{},
//Number etries per page
perPage:12,
//Number current page, starting at 1
page:2,
//Object sorting columns and
sort:{
//Array of sorting column indexes
indexes:this.currentSortIndexes,
//Object of column definitions keyed by column index
columns:this.sortingColumns,
},
};
The response has to be the following structure:
{
//Array of all rows, structure see above
rows:[]
//Number of all matching rows, without paging
all:240
}
- Links won't trigger expanded rows to collapse. Also you can prevent collapse parent row by define an element with the class "prevent-toggle"
- VueQuintable uses v-model for selected rows, its also possible to use selected.sync (best practice)
- If you use the storeState property, filters have to be updated vie filters.sync
VueQuintable is free for everyone to use in any project (MIT License).
