Vue.js and Vuetify Data Table with Paging, Sorting, & Pagination

Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It is known for its simplicity, flexibility, and performance. Vuetify is a material design component framework for Vue.js, which offers a wide range of UI components to help developers build beautiful and responsive applications.

One of the common requirements in web applications is to display tabular data with paging, sorting, and pagination features. In this article, we will explore how to use Vue.js and Vuetify to create a data table with these capabilities.

Setting Up Vue.js and Vuetify

To get started, you will need to have Vue.js and Vuetify installed in your project. You can do this using npm:

        npm install vue
        npm install vuetify
      

Once you have installed Vue.js and Vuetify, you can start by creating a new Vue instance and configuring Vuetify as a plugin.

Creating a Data Table Component

Next, you can create a new Vue component for the data table. This component will define the structure and behavior of the data table, including the columns, data, sorting, and pagination.

        <template>
          <v-data-table
            :headers="headers"
            :items="items"
            :sort-by="sortBy"
            :sort-desc="sortDesc"
            :page="page"
            :items-per-page="itemsPerPage"
            @update:page="updatePage"
            @update:items-per-page="updateItemsPerPage"
          >
          </v-data-table>
        </template>

        <script>
          export default {
            data() {
              return {
                headers: [
                  { text: 'Name', value: 'name' },
                  { text: 'Age', value: 'age' },
                  { text: 'City', value: 'city' },
                ],
                items: [
                  { name: 'John Doe', age: 30, city: 'New York' },
                  { name: 'Jane Smith', age: 25, city: 'Los Angeles' },
                  // ... more data
                ],
                sortBy: 'name',
                sortDesc: false,
                page: 1,
                itemsPerPage: 10,
              };
            },
            methods: {
              updatePage(page) {
                this.page = page;
              },
              updateItemsPerPage(itemsPerPage) {
                this.itemsPerPage = itemsPerPage;
              },
            },
          };
        </script>
      

In this example, we have defined a data table component with a set of headers and items, which represent the columns and data of the table. We have also provided options for sorting and pagination, along with event handlers to update the page and items per page.

Using the Data Table Component

Once the data table component is created, you can use it in your Vue application by importing and including it in your template:

        <template>
          <div>
            <data-table/>
          </div>
        </template>

        <script>
          import DataTable from './components/DataTable.vue';
          export default {
            components: {
              DataTable,
            },
          };
        </script>
      

By including the data table component in your template, you can now display tabular data with paging, sorting, and pagination features in your Vue.js application using Vuetify.
