Requirements

Installation

npm i vue-materialize-datatable --save

You also need to include Material Design icons. You have two ways of doing this:

The first and the recommended way is loading via Google's CDN, by adding this tag to your HTML

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">

Or this in your CSS/Sass files:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons);

Alternatively, you can use the NPM package and add the font to your bundle by:

npm i material-design-icons-iconfont -S

and then include it in your Sass/CSS files

@import "~material-design-icons-iconfont/dist/material-design-icons";

Usage

Include the component,

import DataTable from 'vue-materialize-datatable';

Then, register the component, however you like:

{
    ...
    components: {
        ...
        "datatable": DataTable
    }
}

And then.. use the component:

<datatable></datatable>

Of course, code above will render garbage. Here are the props it accepts to render some sensible data:

Prop name      =>    Description                    =>   Example

title          =>    The title of the datatable     =>   "Todos"                 // Name in top
columns        =>    Columns.                       =>   [                       // Array of objects
                                                            {
                                                                label: 'Name',  // Column name
                                                                field: 'name',  // Field name from row
                                                                                // Use dot for nested props
                                                                                // Can be function with row as 1st param
                                                                numeric: false, // Affects sorting
                                                                html: false,    // Escapes output if false.
                                                            }
                                                        ]
rows           =>    Rows.                          =>   [                       // Array of objects
                                                            {
                                                                name: "test",   // Whatever.
                                                                ...
                                                            }
                                                        ]

clickable      =>    Rows are clickable.            =>   true (default)          // Row is passed in the event payload
                    Will fire `row-click` event                                  // See react to click on row (below)

                                                                onclick: aFunc, // Click handler
                                                            }
                                                        ]

Localization

You can use the property locale to set the display language. Available languages:

  • en (English, default)
  • ar (Arabic)
  • es (Spanish)
  • cat (Catalan)
  • br (Brazilian Portuguese)

You can very easily contribute a locale. Just clone locales/en.json and require in locales/index.js

React to click on row

The datatable will emit the row-click event if clickable is set to true (default).

The events payload will contain the row object, you can bind to the event like this:

<datatable v-on:row-click="onRowClick"></datatable>

<script>
var app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  ...
  methods: {
    onRowClick: function (row) {
      //row contains the clicked object from `rows`
      console.log(row)
    }
  },
})
</script>
...

Rows per page

You can specify the options of rows per page with the perPage prop. The first value will be the default value and the array will be sorted, so you can put whatever number you want.

<!-- The default value will be 100 -->
<datatable :perPage="[100, 10, 25, 50, 500]"></datatable>

The options will be rendered as [10, 20, 50, 100, 500]

Rows per page

Otherwise, you can specify the default rows per page with the defaultPerPage prop.

<!-- The default value will be 100 -->
<datatable :perPage="[10, 25, 50, 100, 500]" :defaultPerPage="100"></datatable>

Row buttons

Alright actually this is a hack. We probably should've implemented actual support for this but for now, here's an example on how to achieve something similar to the screenshot above:

<datatable title="News" ...>
	<th slot="thead-tr">
		Actions
	</th>
	<template slot="tbody-tr" scope="props">
		<td>
			<button class="btn red darken-2 waves-effect waves-light compact-btn"
					@click="(e) => deleteItem(props.row, e)">
				<i class="material-icons white-text">delete</i>
			</button>
		</td>
	</template>
</datatable>

Feel free to copy paste the code above, heh.
