Vue Filter Data by Date Range and Transaction List from API

In this article, we will discuss how to filter data by date range and display a transaction list in a Vue application using data from an API.

Set Up Vue Project

First, let’s set up a new Vue project using Vue CLI. If you haven’t installed Vue CLI, you can do so by running the following command in your terminal:


npm install -g @vue/cli


Once Vue CLI is installed, you can create a new Vue project by running the following command:


vue create filter-date-range


Fetch Data from API

Now that we have our Vue project set up, we can fetch data from an API. Let’s assume we have an API endpoint that returns a list of transactions with their corresponding dates. We can use the axios library to make a GET request to the API and store the data in a Vue component.


import axios from 'axios';

export default {
data() {
return {
transactions: []
};
},
created() {
axios.get('https://example.com/api/transactions')
.then(response => {
this.transactions = response.data;
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
}
}


Filter Data by Date Range

Now that we have the transaction data, we can create a filter to display transactions within a specific date range. We can add two date picker inputs for the start and end dates, and then use a computed property to filter the transactions based on the selected date range.

• {{ transaction.name }} - {{ transaction.date }}

export default {
data() {
return {
startDate: '',
endDate: '',
transactions: []
};
},
computed: {
filteredTransactions() {
return this.transactions.filter(transaction => {
return transaction.date >= this.startDate && transaction.date <= this.endDate;
});
}
}
}

Conclusion

In this article, we’ve learned how to fetch data from an API, filter the data by date range, and display a transaction list in a Vue application. This functionality is useful for displaying transaction history or generating reports based on specific date ranges. With the power of Vue and its reactivity system, we can easily create dynamic and interactive user interfaces for handling data.
