Vue Smart Table lets you deploy beautiful tables when you are in a hurry and all you got is a tangled json from the backend.

After such a hack you are left with super mainainable code because the table is completely modular and divided in components.

You can then pick it up and perfect your work without long rewrites.

Usage

Basically you write this

<smart-table
    :auto-load="true"
    body-path="results"
    id-col="id.value"
    endpoint="http://api.randomuser.me/?results=20"
    :header="[
    {key: 'name.first', label: 'name'},
    {key: 'name.last', label: 'surname'},
    {key: 'gender'},
    {key: 'phone+cell', label: 'contacts'},
    {key: 'picture.thumbnail', label: 'avatar'}
    {key: 'nat', label: 'nationality'}
    ]"
    :order-by="['name.first', 'name.last']"
    >
   <src2img col="picture.thumbnail"></src2img><!-- renders pictures -->
   <contacts col="phone+cell"></contacts><!-- custom formatting -->
   <nationality col="nat"></nationality><!-- queries a remote server for country code to country name conversion -->
   <fontawesome col="gender"></fontawesome><!-- font awesome! -->
  </smart-table>

and you get this

vue smart table

Demo

Installation

If you use Webpack/Browserify

npm install vue-smart-table --save

In your app then you write:

import SmartTable from "vue-smart-table"
Vue.component('smart-table', SmartTable)

Alternatively you can add it to your components options

import SmartTable from "vue-smart-table"
// ...
components: {
    'smart-table': SmartTable
  }
// ...

In Webpack you will have to transpile some .js files inside the vue-smart-table, since the node_modules directory it’s excluded by default in the vue-cli template, remember to enable it. This means that if your js loader is like this:

{
  test: /\.js$/,
  loader: 'babel',
  include: projectRoot,
  exclude: /node_modules/ // <-- this needs to be changed
}

You will have to spare the folder node_modules/vue-smart-table/src/components from exclusion. Just turn the exclude property to:

exclude: /node_modules(?!\/vue-smart-table\/src\/components)/

If you use the <script> tag inside your page

This is ideal if you are using Smart Table as a drop-in component in a bigger project that is not based on Vue.js

The vue-smart-table.js does not contain vue and vue-resource dependencies, those will also need to be on the page.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue-smart-table/2.5.0/vue-smart-table.js"></script>
<!-- or -->
<script src="https://npmcdn.com/vue-smart-table@2.5.0/dist/static/vue-smart-table.js"></script>

That’s it! The component will register itself! Remember do add a min.js when going in production.


After that you can freely use it in your templates:

<smart-table :body="[{hello:'world'}]"></smart-table>

The format of the body prop is like the following:

[ { _id: 3 , name: 'John'  , surname: 'Smith' },
  { _id: 92, name: 'Fulano', surname: 'Perro' } ]
