5.3. Column slot
At some point, you might want to override or format the values in the column header. vue-bootstrap4-table allow you to achieve that with the help of vue slotting.
5.3.1. Example
...
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows" :columns="columns" :config="config">
<template slot="column_email" slot-scope="props">
<i>
{{props.column.label}}
</i>
</template>
<template slot="column_name_first_name" slot-scope="props">
<b>
{{props.column.label}}
</b>
</template>
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
...
<script>
...
columns: [{
label: "First Name",
name: "name.first_name", // access nested objects properties with "."
sort: false,
},
{
label: "Email",
name: "email",
sort: true,
}],
...
</script>Column slot name will be combination of column_ keyword with the name which you provided in the columns configuration. In the above example, slot="column_email" represents the "email" column header in the table.
5.3.2. Note
You might have some columns with nested objects names. In that case, the slot name will be column_ keyword + column name and dots(.) in the column name will be replaced by underscore(_).
You can see the above example, slot name for name.first_name column is column_name_first_name.
5.3.3. props
From slot-scope="props" you can access the following attributes.
|Attributes | Description | |--|--| | props.column | Current column config object |
6. Rows
You bind your list of items as array of objects to rows props to vue-bootstrap4-table component, then voilà.. you can start work with the table.
6.1. Basic structure
rows: [{
"id": 1,
"name": {
"first_name": "Vladimir",
"last_name": "Nitzsche"
},
"address": {
"country": "Mayotte"
},
"email": "[email protected]",
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": {
"first_name": "Irwin",
"last_name": "Bayer"
},
"age": 23,
"address": {
"country": "Guernsey"
},
"email": "[email protected]",
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": {
"first_name": "Don",
"last_name": "Herman"
},
"address": {
"country": "Papua New Guinea"
},
"email": "[email protected]",
}]6.2. Row Slot
At some point, you might want to override or format the values in the row cells. vue-bootstrap4-table allow you to achieve that with the help of vue slotting.
6.2.1. Example
...
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows" :columns="columns" :config="config">
<template slot="email" slot-scope="props">
<i>
{{props.cell_value}}
</i>
</template>
<template slot="name_first_name" slot-scope="props">
<b>
{{props.cell_value}}
</b>
</template>
<template slot="lastname" slot-scope="props">
<b>
{{props.cell_value}}
</b>
</template>
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
...
<script>
...
columns: [{
label: "First Name",
name: "name.first_name" // access nested objects properties with "."
},
{
label: "Last Name",
name: "name.last_name", // access nested objects properties with "."
slot_name: "lastname" // optional, if you don't provide slot name
//then default slot name will be name_last_name
},
{
label: "Email",
name: "email"
}],
...
</script>Slot name will be same as the name which you provided in the columns configuration. In the above example, slot="email" represents the "email" column in the table.
6.2.2. Note
You might have some columns getting the values from nested objects from rows. In that case, the slot name will be column name and dots(.) in the column name will be replaced by underscore(_).
You can see the above example, slot name for name.first_name column is name_first_name.
If you don't like this default "slot name" assignment, then you can set names to row slots as shown in the above example.
6.2.3. props
From slot-scope="props" you can access the following attributes.
| Attributes | Description | |--|--| | props.cell_value | Returns the actual value of the cell| | props.row | Current row object| | props.column | Current column config object|
6.3. Empty result message slot
If the given rows data is empty or result set is empty after applying filters, vue-bootstrap4-table shows this default message "No results found". You can override the message as like your wish with the help of empty-results slot.
6.3.1. Example
...
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows" :columns="columns">
<template slot="empty-results">
Users not found
</template>
</vue-bootstrap4-table>

components: {
VueBootstrap4Table
}
}
</script>Each action object should contain the below attributes.
12.2. Attributes details
| Attributes | Description | type | Default | |--|--|--|--| | btn_name | Display name for the button |String | " "| | event_name | Name of the event that you want to listen back (Mandatory)| String | undefined | | class | Class which you want to override default button classes | String | " " | | event_payload | Payload you want to send with the event | Any | undefined |
13. Custom classes
You can pass your classes for the table, row, cell, etc.. via classes prop. And interesting thing is you can pass a validator function to apply custom classes conditionally.
13.1. Example
<template>
<div id="app">
<vue-bootstrap4-table :classes="classes"
:rows="rows"
:columns="columns">
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueBootstrap4Table from 'vue-bootstrap4-table'
export default {
name: 'App',
data: function() {
return {
rows: [
...
],
columns: [
...
],
classes: {
tableWrapper: "outer-table-div-class wrapper-class-two",
table : {
"table-striped my-class" : true,
"table-bordered my-class-two" : function(rows) {
return true
}
},
row : {
"my-row my-row2" : true,
"function-class" : function(row) {
return row.id == 1
}
},
cell : {
"my-cell my-cell2" : true,
"text-danger" : function(row,column,cellValue) {
return column.name == "salary" && row.salary > 2500
}
}
}
}
},
components: {
VueBootstrap4Table
}
}
</script>Currently you can add custom classes to <div>, <table>, <tr> and <td> elements for table outer div element, table, row, and cell properties respectively.
You can either pass the custom classes directly or pass a function with your condition check to decide whether to apply to class or not.
For example, in the above example, look at the property cell. There we are applying classes "my-cell my-cell2" directly to <td> element and "text-danger" class only to the "salary" column & also the salary value should be above 2500.
14. vbt-classes
By default, vue-bootstrap-table add classes to table elements which allows users to override the default styles.
14.1. vbt-row-selected
If a row is being selected with checkbox or row, then the selected row element will have "vbt-row-selected" class attached to it.
<tr class="vbt-row-selected">
...
</tr>14.2. vbt-table-wrapper
This class is being applied to outer element of element.
<div class="vbt-table-wrapper">
<table>
...
</table>
</div>15. Config
You can optionally pass config as a prop to vue-bootstrap4-table component to override the table configuration defaults.
15.1. Example
<template>
<div id="app">
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows" :columns="columns" :config="config">
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueBootstrap4Table from 'vue-bootstrap4-table'
export default {
name: 'App',
data: function() {
return {
rows: [
...
],
columns: [
...
],
config: {
card_mode: true,
selected_rows_info: false,
pagination: true,
pagination_info: true,
num_of_visibile_pagination_buttons: 7,
per_page: 5,
checkbox_rows: true,
highlight_row_hover: true,
rows_selectable: true,
multi_column_sort: true,
highlight_row_hover_color:"grey",
card_title: "Vue Bootsrap 4 advanced table",
global_search: {
placeholder: "Enter custom Search text",
visibility: true,
case_sensitive: false
},
per_page_options: [5, 10, 20, 30],
show_refresh_button: true,
show_reset_button: true,
server_mode: true,
preservePageOnDataChange: true,
loaderText: 'Updating...',
}
}
},
components: {
VueBootstrap4Table
}
}
</script>If you don't provide an attribute in the config, then default value will be assigned to that attribute.
15.2. Attributes details
|Attributes | Description | type| Default |
|--|--|--|--|
| card_mode | You can choose between table surrounded with card layout and plain default table alone.| Boolean | true |
| pagination | Enable/Disable pagination in the table |Boolean | true|
| pagination_info | Enable/Disable pagination info in the table | Boolean| true|
|selected_rows_info |Enable/Disable number of rows selected info in the table | Boolean | false |
| num_of_visibile_pagination_buttons | Limit the number of visible pagination buttons in the pagination bar |Number | 5 |
| per_page | Number of rows to display per page |Number | 10 |
| checkbox_rows | Enable/Disable checkbox in each rows |Boolean | false |
| highlight_row_hover | Enable/Disable highlighting row on hover |Boolean | true |
|rows_selectable | Enable/Disable selecting items on row click |Boolean | false |
| multi_column_sort | Enable/Disable multi column sorting | Boolean| false|
| highlight_row_hover_color | Change the row hover highlighting color | String| "#d6d6d6" |
| card_title | Sets the table title in the card header | String| "" (empty string) |
| global_search.placeholder | Placeholder is hint text for search text box | String | "Enter search text" |
| global_search.visibility | Show/Hide global search text input | Boolean | true |
|global_search.case_sensitive | Enable/Disable case sensitive searching. | Boolean | false |
| per_page_options | List of options to choose how many rows being showed in single page | Array of numbers | [5,10,15]|
| show_refresh_button | Show/Hide Refresh button | Boolean | true |
| show_reset_button | Show/Hide Refresh button. Resets all query (sort, filter, global search) currently applied in the table. |Boolean | true |
| server_mode | Enable/Disable server side processing (Sorting, Filtering, Global search & pagination) |Boolean | false |
| preservePageOnDataChange | Enable/Disable preserving current index of the page on data change. For example, if this option is set to true, consider that you are in page 4 and performed some actions like sorting or filtering, then now table gets a new data and still the pagination will be in page 4. If this config is set to false (default), for any data change current page in the pagination will be shifted to page 1. |Boolean | false |
| loaderText | Overrides default loading text in the loader overlay | String | Loading... |
16. Server mode
In server mode, client side filtering, sorting, global search and pagination will be disabled. Instead your server will do all this and returns only the processed response. New response will update the rows in the table.
16.1. Example
<template>
<div id="app">
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows"
:columns="columns"
:config="config"
@on-change-query="onChangeQuery"
:show-loader="showLoader"
:total-rows="total_rows">
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import VueBootstrap4Table from 'vue-bootstrap4-table'
export default {
name: 'App',
data: function() {
return {
rows: [],
columns: [
...
],
config: {
...
server_mode: true, // by default false
loaderText: 'Updating...', // by default 'Loading...'
...
},
queryParams: {
sort: [],
filters: [],
global_search: "",
per_page: 10,
page: 1,
},
total_rows: 0,
showLoader: true,
}
},
methods: {
onChangeQuery(queryParams) {
this.queryParams = queryParams;
this.showLoader = true;
this.fetchData();
},
fetchData() {
let self = this;
axios.get('http://example.com/search', {
params: {
"queryParams": this.queryParams,
"page": this.queryParams.page
}
})
.then(function(response) {
self.rows = response.data.data;
self.total_rows = response.data.total;
self.showLoader = false;
})
.catch(function(error) {
self.showLoader = false;
console.log(error);
});
}
},
components: {
VueBootstrap4Table
},
mounted() {
this.fetchData();
},
}
</script>
<style>
</style>16.1.1. Step 1
In your application you should have the below information in data.
queryParams: {
sort: [],
filters: [],
global_search: "",
per_page: 10,
page: 1,
},
total_rows: 0,16.1.2. Step 2
If you want to work with pagination, then don't forget to set total_rows as prop to totalRows.
Then listen for the event on-change-query.
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows"
:columns="columns"
:config="config"
@on-change-query="onChangeQuery"
:show-loader="showLoader"
:totalRows="total_rows">
</vue-bootstrap4-table>16.1.3. Step 3
Wherever there is a change in table query params, you will get your new query params in your onChangeQuery function. With the new values update your queryParams and fetch new data from server.
onChangeQuery(queryParams) {
this.queryParams = queryParams;
this.showLoader = true;
this.fetchData();
},16.1.4. Step 4
I assume you are using axios library for handling ajax requests.
Once you have the new updated result, update rows with new data and also update total_rows with the total number of records.
fetchData() {
let self = this;
axios.get('http://example.com/search', {
params: {
"queryParams": this.queryParams,
"page": this.queryParams.page
}
})
.then(function(response) {
self.rows = response.data.data;
self.total_rows = response.data.total;
self.showLoader = false;
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
self.showLoader = false;
});
}16.1.5. Note
To get best performance, it is recommended to mention in column config that which column have unique values. You can refer the below example.
columns: [
...
{
label: "id",
name: "id",
filter: {
type: "simple",
placeholder: "Enter id"
},
sort: true,
uniqueId: true // like this
}
...
]16.2. Loader overlay
You may need to show a loader animation over the table while your request is busy with processing data on the server. You can show/hide the loader overlay by passing the prop show-loader to vue-bootstrap4-table.
If you would like to change the loader default text Loading..., you could pass your custom text in the config param loaderText https://github.com/rubanraj54/vue-bootstrap4-table#15-config.
Didn't like the default loader animation ??? No problem, you can use loader-overlay slot to use your custom loader animation.
