Quasar is a popular Vue UI library for developing good looking Vue apps.
In this article, we’ll take a look at how to create Vue apps with the Quasar UI library.
Omit Column Definition
Quasar’s q-table component can infer the column headings from the data.
For instance, we can write:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900|Material+Icons"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@^2.0.0/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.umd.min.js"></script>
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout
view="lHh Lpr lFf"
container
style="height: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div class="q-pa-md">
<q-table title="Treats" :data="data" row-key="name"> </q-table>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
const data = [
{
name: "Frozen Yogurt",
calories: 159,
fat: 6.0,
calcium: "14%"
},
{
name: "Ice cream sandwich",
calories: 237,
fat: 9.0,
calcium: "8%"
},
{
name: "Eclair",
calories: 262,
fat: 16.0,
calcium: "6%"
},
{
name: "Honeycomb",
calories: 408,
fat: 3.2,
calcium: "0%"
},
{
name: "Donut",
calories: 452,
fat: 25.0,
calcium: "2%"
},
{
name: "KitKat",
calories: 518,
fat: 26.0,
calcium: "12%"
}
];
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
data
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Then the property names will be capitalized to form the column headings.
Sticky Header
We can make the header sticky with some CSS styles.
To make a header sticky, we write:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700,900|Material+Icons"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
<link
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
</head>
<body class="body--dark">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@^2.0.0/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/quasar@1.12.13/dist/quasar.umd.min.js"></script>
<style>
.sticky-header-table {
height: 300px;
}
.sticky-header-table .q-table__top,
.sticky-header-table .q-table__bottom,
.sticky-header-table thead tr:first-child th {
background-color: yellow;
}
.sticky-header-table thead tr th {
position: sticky;
z-index: 1;
}
.sticky-header-table thead tr:first-child th {
top: 0;
}
.sticky-header-table.q-table--loading thead tr:last-child th {
top: 48px;
}
</style>
<div id="q-app">
<q-layout
view="lHh Lpr lFf"
container
style="height: 100vh;"
class="shadow-2 rounded-borders"
>
<div class="q-pa-md">
<q-table
class="sticky-header-table"
title="Treats"
:data="data"
row-key="name"
>
</q-table>
</div>
</q-layout>
</div>
<script>
const data = [
{
name: "Frozen Yogurt",
calories: 159,
fat: 6.0,
calcium: "14%"
},
{
name: "Ice cream sandwich",
calories: 237,
fat: 9.0,
calcium: "8%"
},
{
name: "Eclair",
calories: 262,
fat: 16.0,
calcium: "6%"
},
{
name: "Honeycomb",
calories: 408,
fat: 3.2,
calcium: "0%"
},
{
name: "Donut",
calories: 452,
fat: 25.0,
calcium: "2%"
},
{
name: "KitKat",
calories: 518,
fat: 26.0,
calcium: "12%"
}
];
new Vue({
el: "#q-app",
data: {
data
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
We set the style of the th element to position: sticky to make the header sticky.
Also, we set the height of the table to 300px so that the content inside is scrollable.
Conclusion
We can apply various styles to our tables to make the heading sticky.
Also, we can add a Quasar table without an explicit column definition.
