        },
    },

Column Array Definition

The columns array takes object of type:

{
    title: String,              // Mandatory: Title to be presented on the Table
    name: String,               // Optional: The name of the "data" property. If nothing, title is used.
    visible: Boolean,              // Optional: column visible? (Default: true)
    editable: Boolean,            // Optional: column cells editable? (Default: false)
    columnstyle: String         // Optional: styles to be applied to the Column Header
    cellstyle: String           // Optional: styles to be applied to the Cells of this column
    renderfunction: Function    // Optional: Function that receives as input the column name and entry, and returns an HTML String for drawing cell
    sortable: Boolean           // Optional, by default it is true!  Used to set particular columns as not sortable, in case the table is sortable itself. - From 1.1.12
    filterable: Boolean         // Optional, by default it is true!  Used to exclude columns from the filtering process. - From 1.1.13
}

Column Definition Examples

Column with Title “Id” , which is visible but not editable:

{
    title:"Id",
}

Column with Title “Name” , which is visible and editable:

{
    title:"Name",
    visible: true,
    editable: true,
}

Column slots example


    <vue-bootstrap-table
            :columns="columns"
            :values="values"
            :show-filter="true"
            :show-column-picker="true"
            :sortable="true"
            :paginated="true"
            :multi-column-sortable=true
            :filter-case-sensitive=false

    >
        <template v-slot:name="slotProps">
            {{slotProps.value.name}}
        </template>
        <template v-slot:description="slotProps">
            {{slotProps.value.description}}
        </template>
    </vue-bootstrap-table>

A slot will be created for each column, named with column.name. It has two props available:

  • “column” - the column object
  • “value” - the value object for the corresponding row

Render Function Example

For a Column definition like so:

columns: [
    {
        title: "Test",
        visible: true,
        renderfunction: renderTestColumn
    }
],

There must be a javascript function called renderTestColumn :

<script>
    var renderTestColumn = function (colname, entry) {
        return '<div class="btn-group" role="group" >'+
            '  <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>'+
            '  <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-danger"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>'+
            '</div><span>'+JSON.stringify(entry)+'</span>';
    };
</script>

ROW Click Handler

To add a Row click handler function:


    <vue-bootstrap-table
            [...]
            :row-click-handler=handleRowFunction
    >
    </vue-bootstrap-table>

On your Vue instance :

data: {
        handleRowFunction: handleRow,
}

And have the javascript function declared like so:

var handleRow = function (event, entry) {
    console.log("CLICK ROW: " + JSON.stringify(entry));
};

Where event in the MouseEvent and entry e the complete entry corresponding to the row.

DEFAULT Ordering

To setup your default ordering for the table:


    <vue-bootstrap-table
            [...]
            :default-order-column="columnToSortBy"
            :default-order-direction=true
    >
    </vue-bootstrap-table>

On your Vue instance :

data: {
        columnToSortBy: "name",
}

This will make the default column order be :

  • column: name
  • order: ascending

AJAX Configuration

Ajax Object properties:

  • enabled : to enable loading through ajax call, enable this
  • url: the URL where to request the data
  • methods: GET and POST are the valid methods allowed
  • delegate: False = just get all the data and do processing on browser; True = Ask for data as needed, and all processing is done on the server side.
  • axiosConfig: check Axios Page for information regarding Method Config.

Example AJAX config for Remote Loading

This configuration will only make one request to the server, to get all the data and load it straight into the browser.

ajax: {
    enabled: true,
    url: "http://localhost:9430/data/test",
    method: "GET",
    delegate: false,
    axiosConfig: {}
},

Example AJAX config for Remote Processing

This configuration will only make many requests to the server, each time data ir needed, or any processing is required: for filtering, ordering, pagniation, changes of page size, etc.

ajax: {
    enabled: true,
    url: "http://localhost:9430/data/test",
    method: "GET",
    delegate: true,
    axiosConfig: {
        headers: {
            'Authorization': 'Bearer TESTTESTTESTTESTTEST'
        }
    }
},

Ajax Request and Expected Response

Ajax Request Parameters Sent

When Ajax is enabled, the following parameters are sent with each request for the URL specified:

  • sortcol : Array of String columns to sort (only sent when delegate is true, otherwise will be null)
  • sortdir : Array of sorting directions for each column on sortcol, “ASC” or “DESC” (only sent when delegate is true, otherwise will be null)
  • filter : The filter to be used (only sent when delegate is true, otherwise will be null)
  • page : The number of the page being requested ( when delegate is false, it will always be 1 )
  • pagesize : The number of records being requested.
  • echo : A unique number for the request.
When using GET
  • sortcol : is sent in the following format sortcol[]=COLNAME&sortcol[]=COLNAME
  • sortdir : is sent in the following format sortdir[]=ASC&sortdir[]=DESC

This is performed automatically by AXIOS

When using POST
  • sortcol : is sent in the following format sortcol[0]=COLNAME ; sortcol[1]=COLNAME;
  • sortdir : is sent in the following format sortdir[0]=ASC ; sortdir[1]=DESC

This is performed automatically by AXIOS

Ajax Expected Response

For all requests, vue-bootstrap-table expects an object of the following type:

{
    echo: INTEGER,
    filtered: INTEGER,
    data: [OBJECT],
},

Where:

  • echo : is the same integer the request provided.
  • filtered : is the total amount of entries for the request, and is used for pagination
  • data : is an Array of Object with the entries.

Example:

{
    echo: 1,
    filtered: 2000,
    data: [
        {
            id: 1,
            name: "Rui"
        },
        {
            id: 2,
            name: "Gustavo"
        },
    ],
},

Events

  • cellDataModifiedEvent - When a cell is edited, an cellDataModifiedEvent event is dispatched.
  • ajaxLoadedEvent - When ajax call is executed successfully an ajaxLoadedEvent event is dispatched.
  • ajaxLoadingError -When ajax call is executed unsuccessfully an ajaxLoadingError event is dispatched.

Handling Events

    created: function () {
        this.$on('cellDataModifiedEvent',
            function( originalValue, newValue, columnTitle, entry) {
                console.log("cellDataModifiedEvent - Original Value : " + originalValue +
                                         " | New Value : " + newValue +
                                         " | Column : " + columnTitle +
                                         " | Complete Entry : " +  entry );
            }
        );
        this.$on('ajaxLoadedEvent',
            function( data ) {
                console.log("ajaxLoadedEvent - data : " + data );
            }
        );
        this.$on('ajaxLoadingError',
            function( error ) {
                console.log("ajaxLoadingError - error : " + error );
            }
        );
    },
