Using Dynamic Components

You can also inject your own components into the table such as buttons. Your buttons, links etc can also listen for events.

Example Button Component

(ExampleButton.vue)

<template>
    <button :class="classes" @click="click(data)" title="Update">
        <span>
            <i class="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        </span>
        &nbsp;
        {{ name }}
    </button>
</template>

export default {
    props: {
        data: {},
        name: {},
        click: {},
        classes: {},
    }
}

Dynamic Datatable Columns

(UserDatatable.vue)


import ExampleButton './ExampleButton.vue';

export default {
    data() {
        return {
            url: 'http://vue-datatable.test/ajax',
            perPage: ['10', '25', '50'],
            columns: [
            {
                label: 'ID',
                name: 'id',
                filterable: true,
            },
            {
                label: 'Name',
                 name: 'name',
                filterable: true,
            },
            {
                label: 'Email',
                name: 'email',
                filterable: true,
            }
            {
                label: '',
                name: 'View',
                filterable: false,
                component: ExampleButton,
                event: "click",
                handler: this.alertMe,
                classes: { 
                    'btn': true,
                    'btn-primary': true,
                    'btn-sm': true,
                } 
            },
            ]
        }
    },
    components: {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        ExampleButton,
    },
    methods: {
        alertMe(data) {
            alert("hey");
        }
    },
}

Overriding the Filters and Pagination Components

If the included pagination or filters do not meet your requirements or if the styling is incorrect, they can be over-written using scoped slots.

Paginatior Datatable

<data-table
    :url="url"
    :columns="columns"
    :per-page="perPage">

    <span slot="pagination" slot-scope="{ links, meta }">
        <paginator 
            :meta="meta"
            :links="links"
            @next="updateUrl"
            @prev="updateUrl">
        </paginator>
    </span>
</data-table>

Once the URL has been updated by your customer paginator or filters, the table will re-render. Alterativly, if updating the URL is troublesome, different table filters can be manipulated by your filters using the v-model directive:

Example Filter

(DatatableFilter.vue)

This example filter will control the length of the table manipulating the tableData.length property using v-model.

<template>
    <select
        class="form-control"
        v-model="tableData.length">
        <option
            :key="index"
            :value="records"
            v-for="(records, index) in perPage">
            {{ records }}
        </option>
    </select>
</template>

export default {
    props: [
        "tableData", "perPage"
    ]
}

Filter Datatable

<data-table
    :url="url"
    :columns="columns"
    :per-page="perPage">

    <span slot="filters" slot-scope="{ tableData, perPage }">
        <data-table-filters
            :per-page="perPage"
            :table-data="tableData">
        </data-table-filters>
    </span>
</data-table>

Custom Filters

You can also add your own custom filters to be sent to the Laravel backend:

Datatable

data() {
    return {
        url: "/url",
        perPage: ['10', '25', '50'],
        columns: [
        	...
        ],
        filters: {
            isAdmin: '',
        },
        pagination:{
            limit: 1,
            align: "right",
            size: "small"
        }
    }
},

<data-table
    :url="url"
    :filters="filters"
    :columns="columns"
    :per-page="perPage"
    :pagination="pagination">
    <span slot="filters" slot-scope="{ tableData, perPage }">
        <data-table-filters
            :table-data="tableData"
            :per-page="perPage">
        </data-table-filters>
    </span>
</data-table>

Example Filter


<div class="row mb-3">
    <div class="col-md-3">
        <select
            v-model="tableData.length"
            class="form-control">
            <option
                :key="index"
                :value="records"
                v-for="(records, index) in perPage">
                {{records}}
            </option>
        </select>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-3">
        <select
            v-model="tableData.filters.isAdmin"
            class="form-control">
            <option value>All Staff</option>
            <option value='admin'>Admin</option>
            <option value='staff'>Staff</option>
        </select>
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-3 offset-md-3">
        <input
            name="name"
            class="form-control"
            v-model="tableData.search"
            placeholder="Search Table">
    </div>
</div>

This added "isAdmin" filter for staff type will be send to the Laravel backend and can be used to manipulate the results:


$query = User::dataTableQuery($column, $dir, $length, $searchValue);
        
if (isset($isAdmin) && ! empty($isAdmin)) {
    $query->where("type", $isAdmin);
}
    
$data = $query->paginate($length);

return new DataTableCollectionResource($data);

Styling the Datatable

You can edit the style of the Datatable by overriding the classes prop. A example mixin config can be found be below for Tailwind:
