Getting Started

1. Installation

To use SlottedTable in your Vue 3 application, first install it via npm:

npm install slotted-table

2. Registration

Import and register the component in your Vue application:

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import SlottedTable from 'slotted-table';
import App from './App.vue';
// import "slotted-table/dist/index.css"; # optional

const app = createApp(App);
app.component('SlottedTable', SlottedTable);
app.mount('#app');

3. Usage

Use SlottedTable in your Vue components as follows:

1. Static dataset

<template>
  <SlottedTable
    :headers="headers"
    :items="items"
  >
    <template v-slot="{ column, cellData, data }">
      <div v-if="column === COLUMN_NAME">
        <!-- Execute custom data manipulation -->
      </div>
      <div v-else>
        {{ cellData }}
      </div>
    </template>
  </SlottedTable>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from 'vue';
import type { Header, Item } from 'slotted-table';
// import "slotted-table/dist/index.css"; # optional

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const headers: Header[] = [...];
    const items: Item[] = [...];

    return { headers, items };
  },
});
</script>

2. Dynamic ( Server-Side ) dataset:

<template>
  <SlottedTable
    :headers="headers"
    :callBack="serverRequest"
  >
    ....
  </SlottedTable>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineComponent, onMounted } from 'vue';
import type { Header, Item } from 'slotted-table';

export default defineComponent({
  const headers: Header[] = ref([...]);

  const serverRequest = async => (tableProps) {
    const { page, rowsPerPage, sortBy, sortType } = tableProps;
    try {
      const response = axios.post(ENDPOINT_URL, { ...YOUR_DATA, ...tableProps })
      // Handle response
      return response;
    } catch (error) {
      // Handle error
    }
  },
});
</script>

Configuration

• Headers:
  an array defining the columns of the table. Each header is an object with properties:

Sample:

  [{ 
    text: "COL_PUBLIC_NAME", // required
    value: "COL_NAME", // required
    sortable: SORTABLE_FLAG,
    empty: EMPTY_CELL_TEXT,
    widget: MAX_WIDTH 
  }, ...]

• Styles: custom CSS classes for various table elements. Provide classes for container, header, body, footer, row, cell, pageselector, and pagebtn. Example:

styles = { 
  header: "myCustomClass", 
  cell: "myCellclass myCellsubclass" 
}

• Language:
  ISO 639-1 language code for localization of table text.

• Items ( static ):
  an array of objects representing table rows. Each object should correspond to the columns defined in headers, but may also include additional properties. Sample:

// Headers sample, using three columns
const headers = [
  { text: 'Column 1', value: 'col1' },
  { text: 'Column 2', value: 'col2' }
];
// Items sample: we map the three columns 
// and some unmapped column data

const items = [
  {
    col1: 'Data 1',
    col2: 'Data 2',
    extraData: 'Additional info'
  }
  // more items
];

• Callback ( Server-Side ):
  a function for fetching data dynamically. This function receives an object with properties page, rowsPerPage, sortBy, and sortType. The function should return an object with rows (array of data) and totalRows (total number of items).

// Callback object parameters
parameters = {
  page, // current page - starts at 1
  rowsPerPage, // maximum number of element per page
  sortBy, // field to sorty by - default "id"
  sortType, // ordering type ( asc / desc ) - default "desc"
}

// Callback function sample
async function serverRequest(params) {
  const response = await axios.post(ENDPOINT_URL, params);
  return {
    rows: response.data.rows,
    totalRows: response.data.totalRows
  };
}

Important Notes:

The callback function must return an object with rows and totalRows properties.
Assuming the callback function returns a promise that resolves to ResponseType

// ResponseType
export type ResponseType = {
  rows: Item[];
  totalRows: number;
}

// result
{ 
  rows: [...],
  totalRows: 10,
}

Todo

• Filtering: Add functionality for filtering table rows based on criteria.

• Searching: Implement search capabilities to find specific items.

• Row Selection: Enable selection of individual rows for actions or details.
