Tables
For displaying tabular data, <b-table>
supports pagination, filtering, sorting, custom
rendering, various style options, events, and asynchronous data. For simple display of tabular
data without all the fancy features, BootstrapVue provides a lightweight alternative component
<b-table-lite>
.
Example: Basic usage
<template>
<div>
<b-table striped hover :items="items"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
{ age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Items (record data)
items
is the table data in array format, where each record (row) data are keyed objects. Example
format:
const items = [
{ age: 32, first_name: 'Cyndi' },
{ age: 27, first_name: 'Havij' },
{ age: 42, first_name: 'Robert' }
]
<b-table>
automatically samples the first row to extract field names (the keys in the record
data). Field names are automatically "humanized" by converting kebab-case
, snake_case
, and
camelCase
to individual words and capitalizes each word. Example conversions:
first_name
becomes First Name
last-name
becomes Last Name
age
becomes Age
YEAR
remains YEAR
isActive
becomes Is Active
These titles will be displayed in the table header, in the order they appear in the first record
of data. See the Fields section below for customizing how field
headings appear.
Note: Field order is not guaranteed. Fields will typically appear in the order they were defined
in the first row, but this may not always be the case depending on the version of browser in use.
See section Fields (column definitions) below to see how to
guarantee the order of fields, and to override the headings generated.
Record data may also have additional special reserved name keys for colorizing rows and individual
cells (variants), and for triggering additional row detail. The supported optional item record
modifier properties (make sure your field keys do not conflict with these names):
Property |
Type |
Description |
_cellVariants |
Object |
Bootstrap contextual state applied to individual cells. Keyed by field (See the Color Variants for supported values). These variants map to classes table-${variant} or bg-${variant} (when the dark prop is set). |
_rowVariant |
String |
Bootstrap contextual state applied to the entire row (See the Color Variants for supported values). These variants map to classes table-${variant} or bg-${variant} (when the dark prop is set) |
_showDetails |
Boolean |
Used to trigger the display of the row-details scoped slot. See section Row details support below for additional information |
Example: Using variants for table cells
<template>
<div>
<b-table hover :items="items"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{
age: 89,
first_name: 'Geneva',
last_name: 'Wilson',
_rowVariant: 'danger'
},
{
age: 40,
first_name: 'Thor',
last_name: 'MacDonald',
_cellVariants: { age: 'info', first_name: 'warning' }
},
{ age: 29, first_name: 'Dick', last_name: 'Dunlap' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
items
can also be a reference to a provider function, which returns an Array
of items data.
Provider functions can also be asynchronous:
- By returning
null
(or undefined
) and calling a callback, when the data is ready, with the data
array as the only argument to the callback,
- By returning a
Promise
that resolves to an array.
See the "Using Items Provider functions" section below for
more details.
Table item notes and warnings
- Avoid manipulating record data in place, as changes to the underlying items data will cause either
the row or entire table to be re-rendered. See Primary Key, below, for ways to
minimize Vue's re-rendering of rows.
items
array records should be a simple object and must avoid placing data that may have
circular references in the values within a row. <b-table>
serializes the row data into strings
for sorting and filtering, and circular references will cause stack overflows to occur and your
app to crash!
Fields (column definitions)
The fields
prop is used to customize the table columns headings, and in which order the columns of
data are displayed. The field object keys (i.e. age
or first_name
as shown below) are used to
extract the value from each item (record) row, and to provide additional features such as enabling
sorting on the column, etc.
Fields can be provided as a simple array, an array of objects, or an object. Internally the
fields data will be normalized into the array of objects format. Events or slots that include
the column field
data will be in the normalized field object format (array of objects for
fields
, or an object for an individual field
).
Fields as a simple array
Fields can be a simple array, for defining the order of the columns, and which columns to display.
(field order is guaranteed):
Example: Using array
fields definition
<template>
<div>
<b-table striped hover :items="items" :fields="fields"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
items: [
{ isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
{ isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Fields as an array of objects
Fields can be a an array of objects, providing additional control over the fields (such as sorting,
formatting, etc). Only columns (keys) that appear in the fields array will be shown (field order
is guaranteed):
Example: Using array of objects fields definition
<template>
<div>
<b-table striped hover :items="items" :fields="fields"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: [
{
key: 'last_name',
sortable: true
},
{
key: 'first_name',
sortable: false
},
{
key: 'age',
label: 'Person age',
sortable: true,
variant: 'danger'
}
],
items: [
{ isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
{ isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Fields as an object
Also, fields can be a an object providing similar control over the fields as the array of objects
above does. Only columns listed in the fields object will be shown. The order of the fields will
typically be in the order they were defined in the object, although field order is not guaranteed
(this may cause issues with Server Side Rendering and client rehydration).
Example: Using object fields definition
<template>
<div>
<b-table striped hover small :items="items" :fields="fields"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: {
last_name: {
label: 'Person last name',
sortable: true
},
first_name: {
label: 'Person first name',
sortable: false
},
city: {
key: 'address.city',
label: 'City',
sortable: true
},
'address.country': {
label: 'Country',
sortable: true
}
},
items: [
{
age: 40,
first_name: 'Dickerson',
last_name: 'Macdonald',
address: { country: 'USA', city: 'New York' }
},
{
age: 21,
first_name: 'Larsen',
last_name: 'Shaw',
address: { country: 'Canada', city: 'Toronto' }
},
{
age: 89,
first_name: 'Geneva',
last_name: 'Wilson',
address: { country: 'Australia', city: 'Sydney' }
},
{
age: 38,
first_name: 'Jami',
last_name: 'Carney',
address: { country: 'England', city: 'London' }
}
]
}
}
}
</script>
Notes:
- if a
key
property is defined in the field definition, it will take precedence over the key used
to define the field.
Field definition reference
The following field properties are recognized:
Property |
Type |
Description |
key |
String |
The key for selecting data from the record in the items array. Required when setting the fields via an array of objects. |
label |
String |
Appears in the columns table header (and footer if foot-clone is set). Defaults to the field's key (in humanized format) if not provided. It's possible to use empty labels by assigning an empty string "" but be sure you also set headerTitle to provide non-sighted users a hint about the column contents. |
headerTitle |
String |
Text to place on the fields header <th> attribute title . Defaults to no title attribute. |
headerAbbr |
String |
Text to place on the fields header <th> attribute abbr . Set this to the unabbreviated version of the label (or title) if label (or title) is an abbreviation. Defaults to no abbr attribute. |
class |
String or Array |
Class name (or array of class names) to add to <th> and <td> in the column. |
formatter |
String or Function |
A formatter callback function, can be used instead of (or in conjunction with) slots for real table fields (i.e. fields, that have corresponding data at items array). Refer to Custom Data Rendering for more details. |
sortable |
Boolean |
Enable sorting on this column. Refer to the Sorting Section for more details. |
sortDirection |
String |
Set the initial sort direction on this column when it becomes sorted. Refer to the Change initial sort direction Section for more details. |
tdClass |
String or Array or Function |
Class name (or array of class names) to add to <tbody> data <td> cells in the column. If custom classes per cell are required, a callback function can be specified instead. |
thClass |
String or Array |
Class name (or array of class names) to add to <thead> /<tfoot> heading <th> cell. |
thStyle |
Object |
JavaScript object representing CSS styles you would like to apply to the table <thead> /<tfoot> field <th> . |
variant |
String |
Apply contextual class to all the <th> and <td> in the column - active , success , info , warning , danger . These variants map to classes thead-${variant} (in the header), table-${variant} (in the body), or bg-${variant} (when table prop dark is set). |
tdAttr |
Object or Function |
JavaScript object representing additional attributes to apply to the <tbody> field <td> cell. If custom attributes per cell are required, a callback function can be specified instead. |
isRowHeader |
Boolean |
When set to true , the field's item data cell will be rendered with <th> rather than the default of <td> . |
Notes:
- Field properties, if not present, default to
null
(falsey) unless otherwise stated above.
class
, thClass
, tdClass
etc. will not work with classes that are defined in scoped CSS
- For information on the syntax supported by
thStyle
, see
Class and Style Bindings
in the Vue.js guide.
- Any additional properties added to the field objects will be left intact - so you can access them
via the named scoped slots for custom data, header, and footer rendering.
For information and usage about scoped slots and formatters, refer to the
Custom Data Rendering section below.
Feel free to mix and match simple array and object array together:
const fields = [
{ key: 'first_name', label: 'First' },
{ key: 'last_name', label: 'Last' },
'age',
'sex'
]
Primary key
<b-table>
provides an additional prop primary-key
, which you can use to identify the field key
that uniquely identifies the row.
The value specified by the primary column key must be either a string
or number
, and must
be unique across all rows in the table.
The primary key column does not need to appear in the displayed fields.
Table row ID generation
When provided, the primary-key
will generate a unique ID for each item row <tr>
element. The ID
will be in the format of {table-id}__row_{primary-key-value}
, where {table-id}
is the unique ID
of the <b-table>
and {primary-key-value}
is the value of the item's field value for the field
specified by primary-key
.
Table render and transition optimization
The primary-key
is also used by <b-table>
to help Vue optimize the rendering of table rows.
Internally, the value of the field key specified by the primary-key
prop is used as the Vue :key
value for each rendered item row <tr>
element.
If you are seeing rendering issue (i.e. tooltips hiding or unexpected subcomponent re-usage when
item data changes or data is sorted/filtered/edited), setting the primary-key
prop (if you have a
unique identifier per row) can alleviate these issues.
Specifying the primary-key
column is handy if you are using 3rd party table transitions or drag
and drop plugins, as they rely on having a consistent and unique per row :key
value.
If primary-key
is not provided, <b-table>
will auto-generate keys based on the displayed row's
index number (i.e. position in the displayed table rows). This may cause GUI issues such as sub
components/elements that are rendering with previous results (i.e. being re-used by Vue's render
patch optimization routines). Specifying a primary-key
column can alleviate this issue (or you can
place a unique :key
on your element/components in your custom formatted field slots).
Table style options
Table styling
<b-table>
provides several props to alter the style of the table:
prop |
Type |
Description |
striped |
Boolean |
Add zebra-striping to the table rows within the <tbody> |
bordered |
Boolean |
For borders on all sides of the table and cells. |
borderless |
Boolean |
removes inner borders from table. |
outlined |
Boolean |
For a thin border on all sides of the table. Has no effect if bordered is set. |
small |
Boolean |
To make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half. |
hover |
Boolean |
To enable a hover highlighting state on table rows within a <tbody> |
dark |
Boolean |
Invert the colors — with light text on dark backgrounds (equivalent to Bootstrap v4 class .table-dark ) |
fixed |
Boolean |
Generate a table with equal fixed-width columns (table-layout: fixed; ) |
foot-clone |
Boolean |
Turns on the table footer, and defaults with the same contents a the table header |
no-footer-sorting |
Boolean |
When foot-clone is true and the table is sortable, disables the sorting icons and click behaviour on the footer heading cells. Refer to the Sorting section below for more details. |
responsive |
Boolean or String |
Generate a responsive table to make it scroll horizontally. Set to true for an always responsive table, or set it to one of the breakpoints 'sm' , 'md' , 'lg' , or 'xl' to make the table responsive (horizontally scroll) only on screens smaller than the breakpoint. See Responsive tables below for details. |
stacked |
Boolean or String |
Generate a responsive stacked table. Set to true for an always stacked table, or set it to one of the breakpoints 'sm' , 'md' , 'lg' , or 'xl' to make the table visually stacked only on screens smaller than the breakpoint. See Stacked tables below for details. |
head-variant |
String |
Use 'light' or 'dark' to make table header appear light or dark gray, respectively |
foot-variant |
String |
Use 'light' or 'dark' to make table footer appear light or dark gray, respectively. If not set, head-variant will be used. Has no effect if foot-clone is not set |
Example: Basic table styles
<template>
<div>
<b-form-group label="Table Options">
<b-form-checkbox v-model="striped" inline>Striped</b-form-checkbox>
<b-form-checkbox v-model="bordered" inline>Bordered</b-form-checkbox>

></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' }
],
striped: false,
bordered: false,
borderless: false,
outlined: false,
small: false,
hover: false,
dark: false,
fixed: false,
footClone: false
}
}
}
</script>
Row styling
You can also style every row using the tbody-tr-class
prop
Property |
Type |
Description |
tbodyTrClass |
String, Array or Function |
Classes to be applied to every row on the table. If a function is given, it will be called as tbodyTrClass( item, type ) and it may return an Array , Object or String . |
Example: Basic row styles
<template>
<div>
<b-table :items="items" :fields="fields" :tbody-tr-class="rowClass"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald', status: 'awesome' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' }
]
}
},
methods: {
rowClass(item, type) {
if (!item) return
if (item.status === 'awesome') return 'table-success'
}
}
}
</script>
Responsive tables
Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive
across all viewports by setting the prop responsive
to true
. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with
which to have a responsive table up to by setting the prop responsive
to one of the breakpoint
values: sm
, md
, lg
, or xl
.
Example: Always responsive table
<template>
<div>
<b-table responsive :items="items"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{
'heading 1': 'table cell',
'heading 2': 'table cell',
'heading 3': 'table cell',
'heading 4': 'table cell',
'heading 5': 'table cell',
'heading 6': 'table cell',
'heading 7': 'table cell',
'heading 8': 'table cell',
'heading 9': 'table cell',
'heading 10': 'table cell'
},
{
'heading 1': 'table cell',
'heading 2': 'table cell',
'heading 3': 'table cell',
'heading 4': 'table cell',
'heading 5': 'table cell',
'heading 6': 'table cell',
'heading 7': 'table cell',
'heading 8': 'table cell',
'heading 9': 'table cell',
'heading 10': 'table cell'
},
{
'heading 1': 'table cell',
'heading 2': 'table cell',
'heading 3': 'table cell',
'heading 4': 'table cell',
'heading 5': 'table cell',
'heading 6': 'table cell',
'heading 7': 'table cell',
'heading 8': 'table cell',
'heading 9': 'table cell',
'heading 10': 'table cell'
}
]
}
}
}
</script>
Responsive table notes:
- Possible vertical clipping/truncation. Responsive tables make use of
overflow-y: hidden
, which
clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this
may clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.
Stacked tables
An alternative to responsive tables, BootstrapVue includes the stacked table option (using custom
SCSS/CSS), which allow tables to be rendered in a visually stacked format. Make any table stacked
across all viewports by setting the prop stacked
to true
. Or, alternatively, set a breakpoint
at which the table will return to normal table format by setting the prop stacked
to one of the
breakpoint values 'sm'
, 'md'
, 'lg'
, or 'xl'
.
Column header labels will be rendered to the left of each field value using a CSS ::before
pseudo
element, with a width of 40%.
The prop stacked
takes precedence over the responsive
prop.
Example: Always stacked table
<template>
<div>
<b-table stacked :items="items"></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Note: When the table is visually stacked:
- The table header (and table footer) will be hidden.
- Custom rendered header slots will not be shown, rather, the fields'
label
will be used.
- The table cannot be sorted by clicking the rendered field labels. You will need to provide an
external control to select the field to sort by and the sort direction. See the
Sorting section below for sorting control information, as well as the
complete example at the bottom of this page for an example of controlling
sorting via the use of form controls.
- The slots
top-row
and bottom-row
will be hidden when visually stacked.
- The table caption, if provided, will always appear at the top of the table when visually stacked.
- In an always stacked table, the table header and footer, and the fixed top and bottom row slots
will not be rendered.
Table caption
Add an optional caption to your table via the prop caption
or the named slot table-caption
(the
slot takes precedence over the prop). The default Bootstrap v4 styling places the caption at the
bottom of the table:
<template>
<div>
<b-table :items="items" :fields="fields">
<template slot="table-caption">This is a table caption.</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
You can have the caption placed at the top of the table by setting the caption-top
prop to true
:
<template>
<div>
<b-table :items="items" :fields="fields" caption-top>
<template slot="table-caption">This is a table caption at the top.</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
items: [
{ age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
You can also use custom CSS to
control the caption positioning.
Table colgroup
Use the named slot table-colgroup
to specify <colgroup>
and <col>
elements for optional
grouping and styling of table columns. Note the styles available via <col>
elements are limited.
Refer to MDN for details and
usage of <colgroup>
Slot table-colgroup
can be optionally scoped, receiving an object with the following properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
columns |
Number |
The number of columns in the rendered table |
fields |
Array |
Array of field definition objects (normalized to the array of objects format) |
Table busy state
<b-table>
provides a busy
prop that will flag the table as busy, which you can set to true
just before you update your items, and then set it to false
once you have your items. When in the
busy state, the table will have the attribute aria-busy="true"
.
During the busy state, the table will be rendered in a "muted" look (opacity: 0.6
), using the
following custom CSS:
table.b-table[aria-busy='true'] {
opacity: 0.6;
}
You can override this styling using your own CSS.
You may optionally provide a table-busy
slot to show a custom loading message or spinner whenever
the table's busy state is true
. The slot will be placed in a <tr>
element with class
b-table-busy-slot
, which has one single <td>
with a colspan
set to the number of fields.
Example of table-busy
slot usage:
<template>
<div>
<b-button @click="toggleBusy">Toggle Busy State</b-button>
<b-table :items="items" :busy="isBusy" class="mt-3" outlined>
<div slot="table-busy" class="text-center text-danger my-2">
<b-spinner class="align-middle"></b-spinner>
<strong>Loading...</strong>
</div>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
isBusy: false,
items: [
{ first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'MacDonald', age: 40 },
{ first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw', age: 21 },
{ first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson', age: 89 },
{ first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney', age: 38 }
]
}
},
methods: {
toggleBusy() {
this.isBusy = !this.isBusy
}
}
}
</script>
Also see the Using Items Provider Functions below for
additional information on the busy
state.
Notes:
- All click related and hover events, and sort-changed events will not be emitted when the table
is in the
busy
state.
- Busy styling and slot are not available in the
<b-table-lite>
component.
Custom data rendering
Custom rendering for each data field in a row is possible using either
scoped slots or formatter callback
function.
Scoped field slots
Scoped slots give you greater control over how the record data appears. If you want to add an extra
field which does not exist in the records, just add it to the fields
array, And then reference the
field(s) in the scoped slot(s).
Example: Custom data rendering with scoped slots
<template>
<div>
<b-table small :fields="fields" :items="items">
<template slot="index" slot-scope="data">
{{ data.index + 1 }}
</template>
<template slot="name" slot-scope="data">
{{ data.value.first }} {{ data.value.last }}
</template>
<template slot="nameage" slot-scope="data">
{{ data.item.name.first }} is {{ data.item.age }} years old
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: [
'index',
{ key: 'name', label: 'Full Name' },
'age',
'sex',
{ key: 'nameage', label: 'First name and age' }
],
items: [
{ name: { first: 'John', last: 'Doe' }, sex: 'Male', age: 42 },
{ name: { first: 'Jane', last: 'Doe' }, sex: 'Female', age: 36 },
{ name: { first: 'Rubin', last: 'Kincade' }, sex: 'Male', age: 73 },
{ name: { first: 'Shirley', last: 'Partridge' }, sex: 'Female', age: 62 }
]
}
}
}
</script>
The slot's scope variable (data
in the above sample) will have the following properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
index |
Number |
The row number (indexed from zero) relative to the displayed rows |
item |
Object |
The entire raw record data (i.e. items[index] ) for this row (before any formatter is applied) |
value |
Any |
The value for this key in the record (null or undefined if a virtual column), or the output of the field's formatter function (see below for information on field formatter callback functions) |
unformatted |
Any |
The raw value for this key in the item record (null or undefined if a virtual column), before being passed to the field's formatter function |
detailsShowing |
Boolean |
Will be true if the row's row-details scoped slot is visible. See section Row details support below for additional information |
toggleDetails |
Function |
Can be called to toggle the visibility of the rows row-details scoped slot. See section Row details support below for additional information |
rowSelected |
Boolean |
Will be true if the row has been selected. See section Row select support for additional information |
Notes:
index
will not always be the actual row's index number, as it is computed after filtering,
sorting and pagination have been applied to the original table data. The index
value will refer
to the displayed row number. This number will align with the indexes from the optional
v-model
bound variable.
Displaying raw HTML
By default b-table
escapes HTML tags in items data and results of formatter functions, if you need
to display raw HTML code in b-table
, you should use v-html
directive on an element in a in
scoped field slot
<template>
<div>
<b-table :items="items">
<span slot="html" slot-scope="data" v-html="data.value"></span>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{
text: 'This is <i>escaped</i> content',
html: 'This is <i>raw <strong>HTML</strong></i> <span style="color:red">content</span>'
}
]
}
}
}
</script>
Warning: Be cautious of using the v-html
method to display user
supplied content, as it may make your application vulnerable to
XSS attacks, if you do not first
sanitize the
user supplied string.
One more option to customize field output is to use formatter callback function. To enable this
field's property formatter
is used. Value of this property may be String or function reference. In
case of a String value, the function must be defined at the parent component's methods. Providing
formatter as a Function
, it must be declared at global scope (window or as global mixin at Vue),
unless it has been bound to a this
context.
The callback function accepts three arguments - value
, key
, and item
, and should return the
formatted value as a string (HTML strings are not supported)
Example: Custom data rendering with formatter callback function
<template>
<div>
<b-table :fields="fields" :items="items">
<template slot="name" slot-scope="data">
<a :href="`#${data.value.replace(/[^a-z]+/i,'-').toLowerCase()}`">{{ data.value }}</a>
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: [
{
key: 'name',
label: 'Full Name',
formatter: 'fullName'
},
'age',
{
key: 'sex',
formatter: value => {
return value.charAt(0).toUpperCase()
}
},
{
key: 'birthYear',
label: 'Calculated Birth Year',
formatter: (value, key, item) => {
return new Date().getFullYear() - item.age
}
}
],
items: [
{ name: { first: 'John', last: 'Doe' }, sex: 'Male', age: 42 },
{ name: { first: 'Jane', last: 'Doe' }, sex: 'Female', age: 36 },
{ name: { first: 'Rubin', last: 'Kincade' }, sex: 'male', age: 73 },
{ name: { first: 'Shirley', last: 'Partridge' }, sex: 'female', age: 62 }
]
}
},
methods: {
fullName(value) {
return `${value.first} ${value.last}`
}
}
}
</script>
Custom empty and emptyfiltered rendering via slots
Aside from using empty-text
, empty-filtered-text
, empty-html
, and empty-filtered-html
, it is
also possible to provide custom rendering for tables that have no data to display using named slots.
In order for these slots to be shown, the show-empty
attribute must be set and items
must be
either falsy or an array of length 0.
<div>
<b-table :fields="fields" :items="items" show-empty>
<template slot="empty" slot-scope="scope">
<h4>{{ scope.emptyText }}</h4>
</template>
<template slot="emptyfiltered" slot-scope="scope">
<h4>{{ scope.emptyFilteredText }}</h4>
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
The slot can optionally be scoped. The slot's scope (scope
in the above example) will have the
following properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
emptyHtml |
String |
The empty-html prop |
emptyText |
String |
The empty-text prop |
emptyFilteredHtml |
String |
The empty-filtered-html prop |
emptyFilteredText |
String |
The empty-filtered-text prop |
fields |
Array |
The fields prop |
items |
Array |
The items prop. Exposed here to check null vs [] |
It is also possible to provide custom rendering for the tables thead
and tfoot
elements. Note by
default the table footer is not rendered unless foot-clone
is set to true
.
Scoped slots for the header and footer cells uses a special naming convention of HEAD_<fieldkey>
and FOOT_<fieldkey>
respectively. if a FOOT_
slot for a field is not provided, but a HEAD_
slot is provided, then the footer will use the HEAD_
slot content.
<div>
<b-table :fields="fields" :items="items" foot-clone>
<template slot="name" slot-scope="data">
{{ data.value.first }} {{ data.value.last }}
</template>
<template slot="HEAD_name" slot-scope="data">
<em>{{ data.label }}</em>
</template>
<template slot="FOOT_name" slot-scope="data">
<strong>{{ data.label }}</strong>
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
The slots can be optionally scoped (data
in the above example), and will have the following
properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
column |
String |
The fields's key value |
field |
Object |
the field's object (from the fields prop) |
label |
String |
The fields label value (also available as data.field.label ) |
When placing inputs, buttons, selects or links within a HEAD_
or FOOT_
slot, note that
head-clicked
event will not be emitted when the input, select, textarea is clicked (unless they
are disabled). head-clicked
will never be emitted when clicking on links or buttons inside the
scoped slots (even when disabled)
If you wish to add additional rows to the header you may do so via the thead-top
slot. This slot
is inserted before the header cells row, and is not encapsulated by <tr>..</tr>
tags.
<template>
<div>
<b-table
:items="items"
:fields="fields"
responsive="sm"
>
<template slot="thead-top" slot-scope="data">
<tr>
<th colspan="2">&nbsp;</th>
<th>Type 1</th>
<th colspan="3">Type 2</th>
<th>Type 3</th>
</tr>
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
items: [
{ name: "Stephen Hawking", id: 1, type1: false, type2a: true, type2b: false, type2c: false, type3: false },
{ name: "Johnny Appleseed", id: 2, type1: false, type2a: true, type2b: true, type2c: false, type3: false },
{ name: "George Washington", id: 3, type1: false, type2a: false, type2b: false, type2c: false, type3: true },
{ name: "Albert Einstein", id: 4, type1: true, type2a: false, type2b: false, type2c: true, type3: false },
{ name: "Isaac Newton", id: 5, type1: true, type2a: true, type2b: false, type2c: true, type3: false },
],
fields: [
"name",
{ key: "id", label: "ID" },
{ key: "type1", label: "Type 1" },
{ key: "type2a", label: "Type 2A" },
{ key: "type2b", label: "Type 2B" },
{ key: "type2c", label: "Type 2C" },
{ key: "type3", label: "Type 3" }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Slot thead-top
can be optionally scoped, receiving an object with the following properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
columns |
Number |
The number of columns in the rendered table |
fields |
Array |
Array of field definition objects (normalized to the array of objects format) |
Row select support
You can make rows selectable, by using the prop selectable
.
Users can easily change the selecting mode by setting the select-mode
prop.
multi
: each click will select/deselect the row (default mode)
single
: only a single row can be selected at one time
range
: any row clicked is selected, any other deselected. the SHIFT key selects a range of rows,
and CTRL/CMD click will toggle the selected row.
When a table is selectable
and the user clicks on a row, <b-table>
will emit the row-selected
event, passing a single argument which is the complete list of selected items. Treat this argument
as read-only.
<template>
<div>
<b-form-group label="Selection mode:" label-cols-md="4">
<b-form-select v-model="selectMode" :options="modes" class="mb-3"></b-form-select>
</b-form-group>
<b-table
selectable
:select-mode="selectMode"
selectedVariant="success"
:items="items"
@row-selected="rowSelected"
></b-table>
{{ selected }}
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
modes: ['multi', 'single', 'range'],
items: [
{ isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
{ isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
],
selectMode: 'multi',
selected: []
}
},
methods: {
rowSelected(items) {
this.selected = items
}
}
}
</script>
When table is selectable, it will have class b-table-selectable
, and one of the following three
classes (depending on which mode is in use), on the <table>
element:
b-table-select-single
b-table-select-multi
b-table-select-range
When at least one row is selected the class b-table-selecting
will be active on the <table>
element.
Notes:
- Paging, filtering, or sorting will clear the selection. The
row-selected
event will be emitted
with an empty array if needed.
- Selected rows will have a class of
b-row-selected
added to them.
- When the table is in
selectable
mode, all data item <tr>
elements will be in the document tab
sequence (tabindex="0"
) for accessibility reasons.
Row details support
If you would optionally like to display additional record information (such as columns not specified
in the fields definition array), you can use the scoped slot row-details
, in combination with the
special item record Boolean property _showDetails
.
If the record has it's _showDetails
property set to true
, and a row-details
scoped slot
exists, a new row will be shown just below the item, with the rendered contents of the row-details
scoped slot.
In the scoped field slot, you can toggle the visibility of the row's row-details
scoped slot by
calling the toggleDetails
function passed to the field's scoped slot variable. You can use the
scoped fields slot variable detailsShowing
to determine the visibility of the row-details
slot.
Note: If manipulating the _showDetails
property directly on the item data (i.e. not via the
toggleDetails
function reference), the _showDetails
properly must exist in the items data
for proper reactive detection of changes to it's value. Read more about
Vue's reactivity limitations.
Available row-details
scoped variable properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
item |
Object |
The entire row record data object |
index |
Number |
The current visible row number |
fields |
Array |
The normalized fields definition array (in the array of objects format) |
toggleDetails |
Function |
Function to toggle visibility of the row's details slot |
In the following example, we show two methods of toggling the visibility of the details: one via a
button, and one via a checkbox. We also have the third row details defaulting to have details
initially showing.
<template>
<div>
<b-table :items="items" :fields="fields" striped>
<template slot="show_details" slot-scope="row">
<b-button size="sm" @click="row.toggleDetails" class="mr-2">
{{ row.detailsShowing ? 'Hide' : 'Show'}} Details
</b-button>
<b-form-checkbox v-model="row.detailsShowing" @change="row.toggleDetails">
Details via check
</b-form-checkbox>
</template>
<template slot="row-details" slot-scope="row">
<b-card>
<b-row class="mb-2">
<b-col sm="3" class="text-sm-right"><b>Age:</b></b-col>
<b-col>{{ row.item.age }}</b-col>
</b-row>
<b-row class="mb-2">
<b-col sm="3" class="text-sm-right"><b>Is Active:</b></b-col>
<b-col>{{ row.item.isActive }}</b-col>
</b-row>
<b-button size="sm" @click="row.toggleDetails">Hide Details</b-button>
</b-card>
</template>
</b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
fields: ['first_name', 'last_name', 'show_details'],
items: [
{ isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{
isActive: false,
age: 89,
first_name: 'Geneva',
last_name: 'Wilson',
_showDetails: true
},
{ isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Sorting
As mentioned in the Fields section above, you can make columns
sortable. Clicking on a sortable column header will sort the column in ascending direction (smallest
first), while clicking on it again will switch the direction of sorting. Clicking on a non-sortable
column will clear the sorting. The prop no-sort-reset
can be used to disable this feature.
You can control which column is pre-sorted and the order of sorting (ascending or descending). To
pre-specify the column to be sorted, set the sort-by
prop to the field's key. Set the sort
direction by setting sort-desc
to either true
(for descending) or false
(for ascending, the
default).
- Ascending: Items are sorted lowest to highest (i.e.
A
to Z
) and will be displayed with the
lowest value in the first row with progressively higher values in the following rows. The header
indicator arrow will point in the direction of lowest to highest. (i.e. down for ascending).
- Descending: Items are sorted highest to lowest (i.e.
Z
to A
) and will be displayed with
the highest value in the first row with progressively lower values in the following rows. The
header indicator arrow will point in the direction of lowest to highest (i.e. up for descending).
The props sort-by
and sort-desc
can be turned into two-way (syncable) props by adding the
.sync
modifier. Your bound variables will then be updated accordingly based on the current sort
criteria. See the Vue docs for details on
the .sync
prop modifier.
Setting sort-by
to a column that is not defined in the fields as sortable
will result in the
table not being sorted.
When the prop foot-clone
is set, the footer headings will also allow sorting by clicking, even if
you have custom formatted footer field headers. To disable the sort icons and sorting via heading
clicks in the footer, set the no-footer-sorting
prop to true.
Note: The built-in sort-compare
routine cannot sort virtual columns, nor sort based on the
custom rendering of the field data (formatter functions and/or scoped slots are used only for
presentation only, and do not affect the underlying data). Refer to the
Sort-compare routine section below for details on sorting by
presentational data.
<template>
<div>
<b-table
:items="items"
:fields="fields"
:sort-by.sync="sortBy"
:sort-desc.sync="sortDesc"
></b-table>
<div>
Sorting By: <b>{{ sortBy }}</b>, Sort Direction:
<b>{{ sortDesc ? 'Descending' : 'Ascending' }}</b>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
sortBy: 'age',
sortDesc: false,
fields: [
{ key: 'last_name', sortable: true },
{ key: 'first_name', sortable: true },
{ key: 'age', sortable: true },
{ key: 'isActive', sortable: false }
],
items: [
{ isActive: true, age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald' },
{ isActive: false, age: 21, first_name: 'Larsen', last_name: 'Shaw' },
{ isActive: false, age: 89, first_name: 'Geneva', last_name: 'Wilson' },
{ isActive: true, age: 38, first_name: 'Jami', last_name: 'Carney' }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Sort-compare routine
The built-in default sort-compare
function sorts the specified field key
based on the data in
the underlying record object (not by the formatted value). The field value is first stringified if
it is an object, and then sorted.
The default sort-compare
routine cannot sort virtual columns, nor sort based on the custom
rendering of the field data (formatter functions and/or scoped slots are used only for
presentation). For this reason, you can provide your own custom sort compare routine by passing a
function reference to the prop sort-compare
.
The sort-compare
routine is passed four arguments. The first two arguments (a
and b
) are the
record objects for the rows being compared, the third argument is the field key
being sorted on
(sortBy
), and the fourth argument (sortDesc
) is the order <b-table>
will display the records
(true
for descending, false
for ascending).
The routine should always return either -1
for a[key] < b[key]
, 0
for a[key] === b[key]
, or
1
for a[key] > b[key]
(the fourth argument, sorting direction, should not normally be used, as
b-table
will handle the direction). The routine can also return null
to fall back to the
built-in sort-compare routine for the particular key
. You can use this feature (i.e. by returning
null
) to have your custom sort-compare routine handle only certain fields (keys) such as the
special case of virtual columns.
The default sort-compare routine works similar to the following. Note the fourth argument (sorting
direction) is not used in the sort comparison:
function sortCompare(a, b, key) {
if (typeof a[key] === 'number' && typeof b[key] === 'number') {
return a[key] < b[key] ? -1 : a[key] > b[key] ? 1 : 0
} else {
return toString(a[key]).localeCompare(toString(b[key]), undefined, {
numeric: true
})
}
}
function toString(value) {
if (!value) {
return ''
} else if (value instanceof Object) {
return keys(value)
.sort()
.map(key => toString(value[key]))
.join(' ')
}
return String(value)
}
Disable local sorting
If you want to handle sorting entirely in your app, you can disable the local sorting in <b-table>
by setting the prop no-local-sorting
to true, while still maintaining the sortable header
functionality (via sort-changed
or context-changed
events as well as syncable props).
You can use the syncable props sort-by.sync
and sort-desc.sync
to detect changes in sorting
column and direction.
Also, When a sortable column header (or footer) is clicked, the event sort-changed
will be emitted
with a single argument containing the context object of <b-table>
. See the
Detection of sorting change section below for details about the
sort-changed event and the context object.
Change initial sort direction
Control the order in which ascending and descending sorting is applied when a sortable column header
is clicked, by using the sort-direction
prop. The default value 'asc'
applies ascending sort
first (when a column is not currently sorted). To reverse the behavior and sort in descending
direction first, set it to 'desc'
.
If you don't want the current sorting direction to change when clicking another sortable column
header, set sort-direction
to 'last'
. This will maintain the sorting direction of the previously
sorted column.
For individual column initial sort direction (which applies when the column transitions from
unsorted to sorted), specify the property sortDirection
in fields
. See the
Complete Example below for an example of using this feature.
Filtering
Filtering, when used, is applied to the original items array data, and hence it is not currently
possible to filter data based on custom rendering of virtual columns.
Built in filtering
The item's row data values are stringified (see the sorting section above for how stringification is
done) and the filter searches that stringified data (excluding any of the special properties that
begin with an underscore _
). The stringification also includes any data not shown in the presented
columns.
With the default built-in filter function, The filter
prop value can either be a string or a
RegExp
object (regular expressions should not have the /g
global flag set).
If the stringified row contains the provided string value or matches the RegExp expression then it
is included in the displayed results.
Set the filter
prop to null
or the empty string to clear the current filter.
Custom filter function
You can also use a custom filter function, by setting the prop filter-function
to a reference of
custom filter test function. The filter function will be passed two arguments:
- the original item row record data object. Treat this argument as read-only.
- the content of the
filter
prop (could be a string, RegExp, array, or object)
The function should return true
if the record matches your criteria or false
if the record is to
be filtered out.
For proper reactive updates to the displayed data, when not filtering you should set the filter
prop to null
or an empty string (and not an empty object or array). The filter function will not
be called when the filter
prop is a falsey value.
The display of the empty-filter-text
relies on the truthiness of the filter
prop.
Deprecation Notice: Passing a filter function via the filter
prop is deprecated and should be
avoided. Use the filter-function
prop instead.
Filter events
When local filtering is applied, and the resultant number of items change, <b-table>
will emit the
filtered
event with a two arguments:
- an array reference which is the complete list of items passing the filter routine. Treat this
argument as read-only.
- the number of records that passed the filter test (the length of the first argument)
Setting the prop filter
to null or an empty string will clear local items filtering.
Filtering notes
See the Complete Example below for an example of using the filter
feature.
<b-table>
supports built in pagination of item data. You can control how many rows are displayed
at a time by setting the per-page
prop to the maximum number of rows you would like displayed, and
use the current-page
prop to specify which page to display (starting from page 1
). If you set
current-page
to a value larger than the computed number of pages, then no rows will be shown.
You can use the <b-pagination>
component in conjunction with
<b-table>
for providing control over pagination.
Setting per-page
to 0
(default) will disable the local items pagination feature.
v-model
binding
If you bind a variable to the v-model
prop, the contents of this variable will be the currently
displayed item records (zero based index, up to page-size
- 1). This variable (the value
prop)
should usually be treated as readonly.
The records within the v-model
are a filtered/paginated shallow copy of items
, and hence any
changes to a record's properties in the v-model
will be reflected in the original items
array
(except when items
is set to a provider function). Deleting a record from the v-model
will
not remove the record from the original items array nor will it remove it from the displayed
rows.
Note: Do not bind any value directly to the value
prop. Use the v-model
binding.
Table body transition support
Vue transitions and animations are optionally supported on the <tbody>
element via the use of
Vue's <transition-group>
component internally. Three props are available for transitions support
(all three default to undefined):
Prop |
Type |
Description |
tbody-transition-props |
Object |
Object of transition-group properties |
tbody-transition-handlers |
Object |
Object of transition-group event handlers |
primary-key |
String |
String specifying the field to use as a unique row key (required) |
To enable transitions you need to specify tbody-transition-props
and/or
tbody-transition-handlers
, and must specify which field key to use as a unique key via the
primary-key
prop. Your data must have a column (specified by the primary-key
prop) that has
a unique value per row in order for transitions to work properly. The primary-key
field's
value can either be a unique string or number. The field specified does not need to appear in the
rendered table output, but it must exist in each row of your items data.
You must also provide CSS to handle your transitions (if using CSS transitions) in your project.
For more information of Vue's list rendering transitions, see the
Vue JS official docs.
In the example below, we have used the following custom CSS:
table#table-transition-example .flip-list-move {
transition: transform 1s;
}
<template>
<div>
<b-table
id="table-transition-example"
:items="items"
:fields="fields"
striped
small
primary-key="a"
:tbody-transition-props="transProps"
></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
transProps: {
name: 'flip-list'
},
items: [
{ a: 2, b: 'Two', c: 'Moose' },
{ a: 1, b: 'Three', c: 'Dog' },
{ a: 3, b: 'Four', c: 'Cat' },
{ a: 4, b: 'One', c: 'Mouse' }
],
fields: [
{ key: 'a', sortable: true },
{ key: 'b', sortable: true },
{ key: 'c', sortable: true }
]
}
}
}
</script>
Using items provider functions
As mentioned under the Items prop section, it is possible to use a
function to provide the row data (items), by specifying a function reference via the items
prop.
The provider function is called with the following signature:
provider(ctx, [callback])
The ctx
is the context object associated with the table state, and contains the following five
properties:
Property |
Type |
Description |
currentPage |
Number |
The current page number (starting from 1, the value of the current-page prop) |
perPage |
Number |
The maximum number of rows per page to display (the value of the per-page prop) |
filter |
String or RegExp or Object |
the value of the filter prop |
sortBy |
String |
The current column key being sorted, or an empty string if not sorting |
sortDesc |
Boolean |
The current sort direction (true for descending, false for ascending) |
apiUrl |
String |
the value provided to the api-url prop. null if none provided. |
The second argument callback
is an optional parameter for when using the callback asynchronous
method.
Example: returning an array of data (synchronous):
function myProvider(ctx) {
let items = []
return items || []
}
Example: Using callback to return data (asynchronous):
function myProvider(ctx, callback) {
const params = '?page=' + ctx.currentPage + '&size=' + ctx.perPage
this.fetchData('/some/url' + params)
.then(data => {
const items = data.items
callback(items)
})
.catch(() => {
callback([])
})
return null
}
Example: Using a Promise to return data (asynchronous):
function myProvider(ctx) {
let promise = axios.get('/some/url?page=' + ctx.currentPage + '&size=' + ctx.perPage)
return promise.then(data => {
let items = data.items
return items || []
})
}
Automated table busy state
<b-table>
automatically tracks/controls it's busy
state when items provider functions are used,
however it also provides a busy
prop that can be used either to override the inner busy
state,
or to monitor <b-pagination>
's current busy state in your application using the 2-way .sync
modifier.
Note: in order to allow <b-table>
fully track it's busy
state, the custom items provider
function should handle errors from data sources and return an empty array to <b-table>
.
Example: usage of busy state
<template>
<div>
<b-table
id="my-table"
:busy.sync="isBusy"
:items="myProvider"
:fields="fields"
...
></b-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data () {
return {
isBusy: false
}
}
methods: {
myProvider (ctx) {
let promise = axios.get('/some/url')
return promise.then((data) => {
const items = data.items
return(items)
}).catch(error => {
return []
})
}
}
}
</script>
Notes:
- If you manually place the table in the
busy
state, the items provider will not be
called/refreshed until the busy
state has been set to false
.
- All click related and hover events, and sort-changed events will not be emitted when in the
busy
state (either set automatically during provider update, or when manually set).
Provider paging, filtering, and sorting
By default, the items provider function is responsible for all paging, filtering, and sorting of
the data, before passing it to b-table
for display.
You can disable provider paging, filtering, and sorting (individually) by setting the following
b-table
prop(s) to true
:
Prop |
Type |
Default |
Description |
no-provider-paging |
Boolean |
false |
When true enables the use of b-table local data pagination |
no-provider-sorting |
Boolean |
false |
When true enables the use of b-table local sorting |
no-provider-filtering |
Boolean |
false |
When true enables the use of b-table local filtering |
When no-provider-paging
is false
(default), you should only return at maximum, perPage
number
of records.
Notes:
<b-table>
needs reference to your pagination and filtering values in order to trigger the
calling of the provider function. So be sure to bind to the per-page
, current-page
and
filter
props on b-table
to trigger the provider update function call (unless you have the
respective no-provider-*
prop set to true
).
- The
no-local-sorting
prop has no effect when items
is a provider function.
Force refreshing of table data
You may also trigger the refresh of the provider function by emitting the event refresh::table
on
$root
with the single argument being the id
of your b-table
. You must have a unique ID on your
table for this to work.
this.$root.$emit('bv::refresh::table', 'my-table')
Or by calling the refresh()
method on the table reference
<div>
<b-table ref="table" ... ></b-table>
</div>
this.$refs.table.refresh()
Note: If the table is in the busy
state (i.e. a provider update is currently running), the
refresh will wait until the current update is completed. If there is currently a refresh pending and
a new refresh is requested, then only one refresh will occur.
Detection of sorting change
By listening on <b-table>
sort-changed
event, you can detect when the sorting key and direction
have changed.
<div>
<b-table @sort-changed="sortingChanged" ... ></b-table>
</div>
The sort-changed
event provides a single argument of the table's current state context object.
This context object has the same format as used by items provider functions.
export default {
methods: {
sortingChanged(ctx) {
}
}
}
You can also obtain the current sortBy and sortDesc values by using the :sort-by.sync
and
:sort-desc.sync
two-way props respectively (see section Sorting above for
details).
<div>
<b-table :sort-by.sync="mySortBy" :sort-desc.sync="mySortDesc" ... ></b-table>
</div>
Server side rendering
Special care must be taken when using server side rendering (SSR) and an items
provider function.
Make sure you handle any special situations that may be needed server side when fetching your data!
When <b-table>
is mounted in the document, it will automatically trigger a provider update call.
Light-weight tables
NEW in v2.0.0-rc.23
<b-table-lite>
provides a great alternative to <b-table>
if you just need simple display of
tabular data. The <b-table-lite>
component provides all of the styling and formatting features of
<b-table>
(including row details support), while excluding the following features:
- Filtering
- Sorting
- Pagination
- Items provider support
- Selectable rows
- Busy table state and styling
- Fixed top and bottom rows
- Empty row support
Accessibility
When a column (field) is sortable, the header (and footer) heading cells will also be placed into
the document tab sequence for accessibility.
When the table is in selectable
mode, or if there is a row-clicked
event listener registered,
all data item rows (<tr>
elements) will be placed into the document tab sequence (via
tabindex="0"
) to allow keyboard-only and screen reader users the ability to click the rows.
When the table items rows are in the table sequence, they will also support basic keyboard
navigation when focused:
- DOWN will move to the next row
- UP will move to the previous row
- END or DOWN+SHIFT will move to the last row
- HOME or UP+SHIFT will move to the first row
- ENTER or SPACE to click the row. SHIFT and CTRL
modifiers will also work (depending on the table selectable mode).
Note the following row based events/actions are not considered accessible, and should only be used
if the functionality is non critical or can be provided via other means:
row-dblclicked
row-contextmenu
row-hovered
row-unhovered
row-middle-clicked
Also, row-middle-clicked
event is not supported in all browsers (i.e. IE, Safari and most mobile
browsers). When listening for row-middle-clicked
events originating on elements that do not
support input or navigation, you will often want to explicitly prevent other default actions mapped
to the down action of the middle mouse button. On Windows this is usually autoscroll, and on macOS
and Linux this is usually clipboard paste. This can be done by preventing the default behaviour of
the mousedown
or pointerdown
event.
Additionally, you may need to avoid opening a system context menu after a right click. Due to timing
differences between operating systems, this too is not a preventable default behaviour of
row-middle-clicked
. Instead, this can be done by preventing the default behaviour of the
contextmenu
event.
