Demo

Getting Started

These instructions will get you running VueQuintable for your project for development purposes.

Prerequisites

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

Installing

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

Integration

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);

Use directly in browser

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"]);

<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>

        },
    ],
    //advances row as object
    {
    	cells:[
            {
                html:"<b>Max</b> Mustermann",
                classes:"special-td",

                    }
                },
            },
            {
                text:"Trainee"
            },
		]
    }
]
Component Definition

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
);

Property filters properties

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",   
    }
   
}

Property filter-groups properties

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"
    }
],

Property sort-order properties

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
    },
]

Basic Example

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>

AJAX data example

<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
}

Good to know

  • 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).
