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 ... } ];
perPage	Numbers of rows per page	[10, 20, 30, 40, 50] (default) // Results per page
defaultPerPage	Default rows per page	10 (default) // Default results per page, otherwise it will be the first value of perPage
initSortCol	Default column for sorting on component initialization	-1 (default) // By default table is not sorted by any column
onClick	Function to execute on click	console.log('hey') // Function, row 1st param
clickable	Clickable rows. Will fire row-click event	true (default) // Row is passed in the event payload
sortable	Cause column-click to sort	true (default) // Whether sortable
searchable	Add fuzzy search functionality	true (default) // Whether searchable
exactSearch	Disable fuzzy search	true (default) // Whether only exact matches are returned
serverSearch	Server search is used to fetch data from server	false (default) // If you wanna do server search then searchable and serverSearch must be true and use serverSearchFunc as callback.
serverSearchFunc	Function for search search	function // For this searchSearch criteria is must.
paginate	Add footer next/prev. buttons	true (default) // Whether paginated
exportable	Add button to export to Excel	true (default) // Whether exportable
printable	Add printing functionality	true (default) // Whether printable
customButtons	Custom buttons thingy	// Array of objects [ { hide: false, // Whether to hide the button icon: "search", // Materialize icon 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)
• nl (Netherlands)
• fr (French)
• de (German)

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]

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.
