Code Examples

1. Basic table setup:

<template>
  <ve-table :columns="columns" :table-data="tableData" />
</template>

<script>
import { VeTable } from 'vue-easytable'

export default {
  components: { VeTable },
  data() {
    return {
      columns: [
        { field: 'name', key: 'name', title: 'Name' },
        { field: 'age', key: 'age', title: 'Age' },
      ],
      tableData: [
        { name: 'John', age: 30 },
        { name: 'Jane', age: 25 },
      ],
    }
  },
}
</script>

2. Implementing sorting:

<template>
  <ve-table
    :columns="columns"
    :table-data="tableData"
    :sort-option="sortOption"
  />
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data() {
    return {
      // ... other data
      sortOption: {
        sortAlways: true,
        sortChange: this.sortChange,
      },
    }
  },
  methods: {
    sortChange(params) {
      console.log('Sort changed:', params)
    },
  },
}
</script>

3. Adding pagination:

<template>
  <div>
    <ve-table :columns="columns" :table-data="tableData" />
    <ve-pagination
      :total="total"
      :page-index="pageIndex"
      :page-size="pageSize"
      @on-page-number-change="pageNumberChange"
      @on-page-size-change="pageSizeChange"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { VeTable, VePagination } from 'vue-easytable'

export default {
  components: { VeTable, VePagination },
  data() {
    return {
      // ... other data
      total: 100,
      pageIndex: 1,
      pageSize: 10,
    }
  },
  methods: {
    pageNumberChange(pageIndex) {
      this.pageIndex = pageIndex
      // Fetch data for the new page
    },
    pageSizeChange(pageSize) {
      this.pageSize = pageSize
      // Update data with new page size
    },
  },
}
</script>
