Inertia.js Tables for Laravel Query Builder

Fork reason

This package provides a DataTables-like experience for Inertia.js with support for searching, filtering, sorting, toggling columns, and pagination. It generates URLs that can be consumed by Spatie's excellent Laravel Query Builder package, with no additional logic needed. The components are styled with Tailwind CSS 3.0, but it's fully customizable with slots. The data refresh logic is based on Inertia's Ping CRM demo.

Features

Auto-fill: auto generates thead and tbody with support for custom cells
Global Search
Search per field
Select filters
Toggle columns
Sort columns
Pagination (support for Eloquent/API Resource/Simple/Cursor)
Automatically updates the query string (by using Inertia's replace feature)

Compatibility

Installation

You need to install both the server-side package and the client-side package. Note that this package is only compatible with Laravel 10, Vue 3.0, and requires the Tailwind Forms plugin.

Server-side installation (Laravel)

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ponchrobles/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder

The package will automatically register the Service Provider which provides a table method you can use on an Interia Response.

Search fields

With the searchInput method, you can specify which attributes are searchable. Search queries are passed to the URL query as a filter. This integrates seamlessly with the filtering feature of the Laravel Query Builder package.

Though it's enough to pass in the column key, you may specify a custom label and default value.

use ProtoneMedia\LaravelQueryBuilderInertiaJs\InertiaTable;

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->searchInput('name');

	$table->searchInput(
		key: 'framework',
		label: 'Find your framework',
		defaultValue: 'Laravel'
	);
});

Select Filters

Select Filters are similar to search fields but use a select element instead of an input element. This way, you can present the user a predefined set of options. Under the hood, this uses the same filtering feature of the Laravel Query Builder package.

The selectFilter method requires two arguments: the key, and a key-value array with the options.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->selectFilter('language_code', [
		'en' => 'Engels',
		'nl' => 'Nederlands',
	]);
});

The selectFilter will, by default, add a no filter option to the array. You may disable this or specify a custom label for it.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->selectFilter(
		key: 'language_code',
		options: $languages,
		label: 'Language',
		defaultValue: 'nl',
		noFilterOption: true,
		noFilterOptionLabel: 'All languages'
	);
});

Boolean Filters

This way, you can present the user a toggle. Under the hood, this uses the same filtering feature of the Laravel Query Builder package.

The toggleFilter method requires one argument: the key.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->toggleFilter('is_verified');
});

You can specify a custom label for it and a default value.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->toggleFilter(
		key: 'is_verified',
		label: 'Is email verified',
		defaultValue: true,
	);
});

Number range Filters

This way, you can present the user a toggle. Under the hood, this uses the same filtering feature of the Laravel Query Builder package.

The numberRangeFilter method requires two arguments: the key and the max value.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->numberRangeFilter('invoice_recall_count', 5);
});

You can specify a some other params.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->toggleFilter(
		key: 'invoice_recall_count',
		max: 5,
		min: 0,
		prefix: '',
		suffix: '',
		step: 1,
		label: 'Invoice recall count',
		defaultValue: [1,4],
	);
});

You need to use a custom allowed filter for this filter.

$users = QueryBuilder::for(/*...*/)
			->allowedFilters([NumberRangeFilter::getQueryBuilderFilter('invoice_recall_count')]);

Columns

With the column method, you can specify which columns you want to be toggleable, sortable, and searchable. You must pass in at least a key or label for each column.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->column('name', 'User Name');

	$table->column(
		key: 'name',
		label: 'User Name',
		canBeHidden: true,
		hidden: false,
		sortable: true,
		searchable: true
	);
});

The searchable option is a shortcut to the searchInput method. The example below will essentially call $table->searchInput('name', 'User Name').

Global Search

You may enable Global Search with the withGlobalSearch method, and optionally specify a placeholder.

Inertia::render('Page/Index')->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
	$table->withGlobalSearch();

	$table->withGlobalSearch('Search through the data...');
});

If you want to enable Global Search for every table by default, you may use the static defaultGlobalSearch method, for example, in the AppServiceProvider class:

InertiaTable::defaultGlobalSearch();
InertiaTable::defaultGlobalSearch('Default custom placeholder');
InertiaTable::defaultGlobalSearch(false); // disable

Example controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;
use Inertia\Inertia;
use ProtoneMedia\LaravelQueryBuilderInertiaJs\InertiaTable;
use Spatie\QueryBuilder\AllowedFilter;
use Spatie\QueryBuilder\QueryBuilder;

class UserIndexController
{
	public function __invoke()
	{
		$globalSearch = AllowedFilter::callback('global', function ($query, $value) {
			$query->where(function ($query) use ($value) {
				Collection::wrap($value)->each(function ($value) use ($query) {
					$query
						->orWhere('name', 'LIKE', "%{$value}%")
						->orWhere('email', 'LIKE', "%{$value}%");
				});
			});
		});

		$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
			->defaultSort('name')
			->allowedSorts(['name', 'email', 'language_code'])
			->allowedFilters(['name', 'email', 'language_code', $globalSearch])
			->paginate()
			->withQueryString();

		return Inertia::render('Users/Index', [
			'users' => $users,
		])->table(function (InertiaTable $table) {
			$table
			  ->withGlobalSearch()
			  ->defaultSort('name')
			  ->column(key: 'name', searchable: true, sortable: true, canBeHidden: false)
			  ->column(key: 'email', searchable: true, sortable: true)
			  ->column(key: 'language_code', label: 'Language')
			  ->column(label: 'Actions')
			  ->selectFilter(key: 'language_code', label: 'Language', options: [
				  'en' => 'English',
				  'nl' => 'Dutch',
			  ]);
	}
}

Client-side installation (Inertia)

You can install the package via either npm or yarn:

npm install @ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder --save

yarn add @ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder

Add the repository path to the content array of your Tailwind configuration file. This ensures that the styling also works on production builds.

module.exports = {
  content: [
	'./node_modules/@ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder/**/*.{js,vue}',
  ]
}

Table component

To use the Table component and all its related features, you must import the Table component and pass the users data to the component.

<script setup>
import { Table } from "@ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder";

defineProps(["users"])
</script>

<template>
  <Table :resource="users" />
</template>

The resource property automatically detects the data and additional pagination meta data. You may also pass this manually to the component with the data and meta properties:

<template>
  <Table :data="users.data" :meta="users.meta" />
</template>

If you want to manually render the table, like in v1 of this package, you may use the head and body slot. Additionally, you can still use the meta property to render the paginator.

<template>
  <Table :meta="users">
	<template #head>
	  <tr>
		<th>User</th>
	  </tr>
	</template>

	<template #body>
	  <tr
		v-for="(user, key) in users.data"
		:key="key"
	  >
		<td>{{ user.name }}</td>
	  </tr>
	</template>
  </Table>
</template>

The Table has some additional properties to tweak its front-end behaviour.

<template>
  <Table
	:striped="true"
	:prevent-overlapping-requests="false"
	:input-debounce-ms="1000"
	:preserve-scroll="true"
  />
</template>

Property	Description	Default
striped	Adds a striped layout to the table.	`false`
preventOverlappingRequests	Cancels a previous visit on new user input to prevent an inconsistent state.	`true`
inputDebounceMs	Number of ms to wait before refreshing the table on user input.	350
preserveScroll	Configures the Scroll preservation behavior. You may also pass `table-top` to this property to scroll to the top of the table on new data.	false

The Table has some events that you can use

rowClicked: this event is fired when the user click on the row. The event give you this informations: event, item, key. Be careful if you use this event with a clickable element inside the row like an action button. Don't forget to use event.stopPropagation() for all other clickable elements

Custom column cells

When using auto-fill, you may want to transform the presented data for a specific column while leaving the other columns untouched. For this, you may use a cell template. This example is taken from the Example Controller above.

<template>
  <Table :resource="users">
	<template #cell(actions)="{ item: user }">
	  <a :href="`/users/${user.id}/edit`">
		Edit
	  </a>
	</template>
  </Table>
</template>

Custom header cells

When using auto-fill, you may want to transform the presented data for a specific header while leaving the other columns untouched. For this, you may use a header template. This example is taken from the Example Controller above.

<template>
  <Table :resource="users">
	<template #header(email)="{ label: label, column: column }">
	  <span class="lowercase">{{ label }}</span>
	</template>
  </Table>
</template>

Multiple tables per page

You may want to use more than one table component per page. Displaying the data is easy, but using features like filtering, sorting, and pagination requires a slightly different setup. For example, by default, the page query key is used for paginating the data set, but now you want two different keys for each table. Luckily, this package takes care of that and even provides a helper method to support Spatie's query package. To get this to work, you need to name your tables.

Let's take a look at Spatie's QueryBuilder. In this example, there's a table for the companies and a table for the users. We name the tables accordingly. So first, call the static updateQueryBuilderParameters method to tell the package to use a different set of query parameters. Now, filter becomes companies_filter, column becomes companies_column, and so forth. Secondly, change the pageName of the database paginator.

InertiaTable::updateQueryBuilderParameters('companies');

$companies = QueryBuilder::for(Company::query())
	->defaultSort('name')
	->allowedSorts(['name', 'email'])
	->allowedFilters(['name', 'email'])
	->paginate(pageName: 'companiesPage')
	->withQueryString();

InertiaTable::updateQueryBuilderParameters('users');

$users = QueryBuilder::for(User::query())
	->defaultSort('name')
	->allowedSorts(['name', 'email'])
	->allowedFilters(['name', 'email'])
	->paginate(pageName: 'usersPage')
	->withQueryString();

Then, we need to apply these two changes to the InertiaTable class. There's a name and pageName method to do so.

return Inertia::render('TwoTables', [
	'companies' => $companies,
	'users'     => $users,
])->table(function (InertiaTable $inertiaTable) {
	$inertiaTable
		->name('users')
		->pageName('usersPage')
		->defaultSort('name')
		->column(key: 'name', searchable: true)
		->column(key: 'email', searchable: true);
})->table(function (InertiaTable $inertiaTable) {
	$inertiaTable
		->name('companies')
		->pageName('companiesPage')
		->defaultSort('name')
		->column(key: 'name', searchable: true)
		->column(key: 'address', searchable: true);
});

Lastly, pass the correct name property to each table in the Vue template. Optionally, you may set the preserve-scroll property to table-top. This makes sure to scroll to the top of the table on new data. For example, when changing the page of the second table, you want to scroll to the top of the table, instead of the top of the page.

<script setup>
import { Table } from "@ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder";

defineProps(["companies", "users"])
</script>

<template>
  <Table
	:resource="companies"
	name="companies"
	preserve-scroll="table-top"
  />

  <Table
	:resource="users"
	name="users"
	preserve-scroll="table-top"
  />
</template>

Pagination translations

You can override the default pagination translations with the setTranslations method. You can do this in your main JavaScript file:

import { setTranslations } from "@ponchrobles_/inertiajs-tables-laravel-query-builder";

setTranslations({
  next: "Next",
  no_results_found: "No results found",
  of: "of",
  per_page: "per page",
  previous: "Previous",
  results: "results",
  to: "to",
  search: "Search",
  reset: "Reset",
  grouped_reset: "Reset",
  add_search_fields: "Add search field",
  show_hide_columns: "Show / Hide columns",
});

Table.vue slots

The Table.vue has several slots that you can use to inject your own implementations.

Slot	Description
table	The actual table element.
tableColumns	The location of the button + dropdown to toggle columns.
tableFilter	The location of the button + dropdown to select filters.
tableGlobalSearch	The location of the input element that handles the global search.
tableReset	The location of the button that resets the table.
tableAddSearchRow	The location of the button + dropdown to add additional search rows.
tableSearchRows	The location of the input elements that handle the additional search rows.
tableWrapper	The component that wraps the table element, handling overflow, shadow, padding, etc.
head	The location of the table header.
body	The location of the table body.
with-grouped-menu	Use the grouped menu instead of multiple buttons
pagination	The location of the paginator.
color	The style of the table

Each slot is provided with props to interact with the parent Table component.

<template>
  <Table>
	<template v-slot:tableGlobalSearch="slotProps">
	  <input
		placeholder="Custom Global Search Component..."
		@input="slotProps.onChange($event.target.value)"
	  />
	</template>
  </Table>
</template>

Customizations available

You can customize some parts of the table.

Provide an object with the desired customizations in app.js file like this:

const themeVariables = {
	inertia_table: {
		per_page_selector: {
			select: {
				primary: 'your classes',
			},
		},
	},
}

createInertiaApp({
	progress: {
		color: '#4B5563',
	},
	title: (title) => `${title} - ${appName}`,
	resolve: (name) => resolvePageComponent(`./Pages/${name}.vue`, import.meta.glob('./Pages/**/*.vue')),
	setup({ el, App, props, plugin }) {
		return createApp({ render: () => h(App, props) })
			// ...
			.provide('themeVariables', themeVariables)
			// ...
			.mount(el);
	},
})

You can customize the default style by overiding the default style like that:

const themeVariables = {
	inertia_table: {
		per_page_selector: {
			select: {
				base: "block min-w-max shadow-sm text-sm rounded-md",
				color: {
					primary: "border-gray-300 focus:ring-yellow-500 focus:border-yellow-500",
				},
			},
		},
	},
}

Or you can create a new style and using the color prop on the Table.vue

const themeVariables = {
	inertia_table: {
		 select: {
			  base: "block min-w-max shadow-sm text-sm rounded-md",
			  color: {
				  red_style: 'border-gray-300 focus:ring-red-500 focus:border-red-500',
			  },
		  },
	},
}

<template>
  <Table color="red_style" />
</template>
