3. Installation

3.1. Install via npm or yarn

$ npm i vue-bootstrap4-table --save

$ yarn add vue-bootstrap4-table

Currently this package will install only the vue-bootstrap4-table component, not their dependencies. So make sure to install the following dependencies.

3.1.1. Dependencies

  • bootstrap 4 (js and css) You should include bootstrap before vue-bootstrap4-table plugin.

We are using lodash internally, so you don't need to install separately for this plugin.

3.2. Install via CDN

Note: If you've included bootstrap & jQuery packages already in your project, then include only vue-bootstrap4-table.min.js script.

4. Basic Usage

It is easy to include vue-bootstrap4-table as a component in your application.

Import VueBootstrap4Table component in any of your vue component and start using it right away.

Note: If you included the library via CDN, then you don't need to import, you can use vue-bootstrap4-table component right away.

rows and columns props should be passed down to vue-bootstrap4-table component to work with the table.

<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: [{
                    "id": 1,
                    "name": {

                }],
            columns: [{
                    label: "id",
                    name: "id",
                    filter: {

                    name: "name.first_name",
                    filter: {
                        type: "simple",
                        placeholder: "Enter first name"
                    },
                    sort: true,

                    filter: {
                        type: "simple",
                        placeholder: "Enter country"
                    },
                }],
            config: {

        }
    },
    components: {
        VueBootstrap4Table
    }
}
</script>

5. Columns

5.1. Basic structure

For example, your "columns" object might look like this,

columns: [{
        label: "id",
        name: "id",
        filter: {
            type: "simple",
            placeholder: "Enter id"
        },
        sort: true,
        uniqueId: true
    },
    {
        label: "First Name",
        name: "name.first_name", // access nested objects properties with "."
        filter: {
            type: "simple",
            placeholder: "Enter first name",
            case_sensitive: true, // "false" by default
        },
        sort: true, // "false" by default
        initial_sort: true, // "false" by default
        initial_sort_order: "desc" // "asc" by default
    },
    {
        label: "Email",
        name: "email",
        sort: true,
        row_text_alignment:  "text-left",
        column_text_alignment:  "text-left",
        row_classes:  "my-row-class1 my-row-class2",
        column_classes:  "my-column-class1 my-column-class2"
    },
    {
        label: "Country",
        name: "address.country", // access nested objects properties with "."
        filter: {
            type: "simple",
            placeholder: "Enter country"
        },
        visibility: false
    }]

5.2. Attributes details

Attributes Description Type Default
label Name for the column header String " "
name Name of the attribute that you would like to show from "rows" object. You can access nested objects properties with "." String " "
slot_name Overrides default slot name assignment. For more details refer "Rows" section String " "
uniqueId You can teach table which column has unique values. It helps table to do faster operations and it is really useful in "server_mode". Boolean false

filter Configuration for the column filter. If you don't want to have filtering for specific columns, then just don't mention it :-) Object Empty
filter.type Type of filter you want to use for your column. String " "
filter.placeholder Placeholder is hint text for filter text box String " "
filter.case_sensitive Enable/Disable case sensitive filtering. Boolean false
sort Enable or disable sorting in column. Boolean false
initial_sort Sort the column at the first time loading. This only works if sort is true Boolean false
initial_sort_order Sort the column at the first time loading based on given order. This only works if initial_sort is true String "asc"
row_text_alignment Align your text in the row cell. Possible options are, "text-justify","text-right","text-left","text-center" String "text-center"
column_text_alignment Align your text in the column header. Possible options are, "text-justify","text-right","text-left","text-center" String "text-center"
row_classes You can specify your custom classes for each row under specified column. You can add multiple classes with a space delimiter. This classes will be added to <td> element. String " "
column_classes You can specify your custom classes for each column header. You can add multiple classes with a space delimiter.This classes will be added to <th> element. String " "

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>
...

7. Sorting

Sorting configuration is added along with the each column config.

7.1. Example

...
columns: [
    {
        label: "First Name",
        name: "name.first_name", // access nested objects properties with "."
        sort: true, // "false" by default
        initial_sort: true, // "false" by default
        initial_sort_order: "desc", // "asc" by default
        sortCaseSensitive: false // "true" by default
    }
]
...

7.2. Attributes details

Attributes Description
sort Enable or disable sorting in column. Default value is false.
initial_sort Sort the column at the first time loading. Default value is false. This only works if sort is true.
initial_sort_order Sort the column at the first time loading based on given order. Default value is asc. This only works if initial_sort is true.
sortCaseSensitive Enable or disable case sensitive sorting. Default value is true.

7.3. Single column sorting

By default single column sort mode is enabled.

7.4. Multi column sorting

If you would like to enable the multi column sorting, set multi_column_sort to true in table config props.

7.4.1. 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: {
                    ...
                    multi_column_sort: true, // default false
                    ...
                }
            }
        },
        components: {
            VueBootstrap4Table
        }
    }
</script>

7.5. Slot

7.5.1. Sort Icon

You can change the sort icons based on your choice, For example if you're using font-awesome or glyphicon in your application, you can still use them for vue-bootstrap4-table.

You can inject your favorite sort icons via slots.

7.5.1.1. Example

...
<vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows" :columns="columns" :config="config">
    <template slot="sort-asc-icon">
        <i class="fas fa-sort-up"></i>
    </template>
    <template slot="sort-desc-icon">
        <i class="fas fa-sort-down"></i>
    </template>
    <template slot="no-sort-icon">
        <i class="fas fa-sort"></i>
    </template>
</vue-bootstrap4-table>
...

After applying the above custom template to sort icons , output will look like this.

Custom sort icons

        methods: {
            onRefreshData() {
                // you can make ajax call here for new data and
                // set result to this.rows
            }
        },
        components: {

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <vue-bootstrap4-table :rows="rows"
                                :columns="columns"
                                :config="config"
                                :actions="actions"
                                @on-download="onDownload">
        </vue-bootstrap4-table>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    import VueBootstrap4Table from 'vue-bootstrap4-table'

    export default {
        name: 'App',
        data: function() {
            return {
                rows: [
                ...
                ],
                columns: [
                ...
                ],
                actions: [
                    {
                        btn_text: "Download",
                        event_name: "on-download",
                        class: "btn btn-primary my-custom-class",
                        event_payload: {
                            msg: "my custom msg"
                        }
                    }
                ],
                config: {
                    ...
                }
            }
        },
        methods: {
            onDownload(payload) {
                console.log(payload);
            }
        },
        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,

                    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 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('https://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>

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('https://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.
