14.1. The main script [main.js]

The main script reverts to what it was in the early projects:


// imports
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
 
// plugins
import BootstrapVue from 'bootstrap-vue'
Vue.use(BootstrapVue);
 
// bootstrap
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
import 'bootstrap-vue/dist/bootstrap-vue.css'
 
// configuration
Vue.config.productionTip = false
 
// instantiation project [App]
new Vue({
  name: "app",
  render: h => h(App),
}).$mount('#app')

14.2. The main view [App]

The code for the main view [App] is as follows:


<template>
  <div class="container">
    <b-card>
      <!-- message -->
      <b-alert show variant="success" align="center">
        <h4>[vuejs-12] : gestion des tables</h4>
      </b-alert>
      <!-- table component -->
      <Table @supprimerLigne="supprimerLigne" :lignes="lignes" @rechargerListe="rechargerListe" />
    </b-card>
  </div>
</template>
 
<script>
  import Table from "./components/Table";
  export default {
    // name
    name: "app",
    // components used
    components: {
      Table
    },
    // inner state
    data() {
      return {
        // list of simulations
        lignes: [
          { id: 3, marié: "oui", enfants: 2, salaire: 35000, impôt: 1200 },
          { id: 5, marié: "non", enfants: 2, salaire: 35000, impôt: 1900 },
          { id: 7, marié: "non", enfants: 0, salaire: 30000, impôt: 2000 }
        ]
      };
    },
 
    // methods
    methods: {
      // line deletion
      supprimerLigne(index) {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        console.log("App supprimerLigne", index);
        // delete line at position [index]
        this.lignes.splice(index, 1);
      },
      // reload line table
      rechargerListe() {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        console.log("App rechargerListe");
        // regenerate the line list
        this.lignes = [
          { id: 3, marié: "oui", enfants: 2, salaire: 35000, impôt: 1200 },
          { id: 5, marié: "non", enfants: 2, salaire: 35000, impôt: 1900 },
          { id: 7, marié: "non", enfants: 0, salaire: 30000, impôt: 2000 }
        ];
      }
    }
  };
</script>

Comments

  • The main view displays a [Table] component (lines 9, 15, 21);
  • line 9: the [Table] component accepts the [:lignes] parameter, which represents the rows to be displayed in a HTML table. These rows are defined by lines 27–31 of the code;
  • Line 9: The component [Table] can trigger two events:
    • [supprimerLigne]: to delete a row specified by its index (line 38);
    • [rechargerListe]: to regenerate the list of lines 27–31. Indeed, we will see that the user can delete some of the displayed lines;
  • lines 38–43: the method responsible for handling the [supprimerLigne] event. It receives the index of the line to be deleted as a parameter;
  • lines 45–54: the method responsible for handling the [rechargerListe] event. Modifying the [lignes] attribute in line 27 triggers an update to the [Table] component in line 9, since it has a [:lignes="lignes"] parameter;

14.3. The component [Table]

The [Table] component is as follows:


<template>
  <div>
    <!-- empty list -->
    <template v-if="lignes.length==0">
      <b-alert show variant="warning">
        <h4>Votre liste de simulations est vide</h4>
      </b-alert>
      <!-- reload button-->
      <b-button variant="primary" @click="rechargerListe">Recharger la liste</b-button>
    </template>
    <!-- non-empty list-->
    <template v-if="lignes.length!=0">
      <b-alert show variant="primary" v-if="lignes.length==0">
        <h4>Liste de vos simulations</h4>
      </b-alert>
      <!-- simulation table -->
      <b-table striped hover responsive :items="lignes" :fields="fields">
        <template v-slot:cell(action)="row">
          <b-button variant="link" @click="supprimerLigne(row.index)">Supprimer</b-button>
        </template>
      </b-table>
    </template>
  </div>
</template>
 
<script>
  export default {
    // properties
    props: {
      lignes: {
        type: Array
      }
    },
    // inner state
    data() {
      return {
        fields: [
          { label: "#", key: "id" },
          { label: "Marié", key: "marié" },
          { label: "Nombre d'enfants", key: "enfants" },
          { label: "Salaire", key: "salaire" },
          { label: "Impôt", key: "impôt" },
          { label: "", key: "action" }
        ]
      };
    },
    // methods
    methods: {
      // line deletion
      supprimerLigne(index) {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        console.log("Table supprimerLigne", index);
        // information is passed to the parent component
        this.$emit("supprimerLigne", index);
      },
      // reload displayed list
      rechargerListe() {
        // eslint-disable-next-line
        console.log("Table rechargerListe");
        // an event is sent to the parent component
        this.$emit("rechargerListe");
      }
    }
  };
</script>

Comments

This component has two states:

  1. it displays a list in a table HTML;
  2. or a message indicating that the list to be displayed is empty;

The first state is displayed if condition [lignes.length!=0] is true (line 12):

Image

The second is displayed if condition [lignes.length==0] is true (line 4).

  • [lignes] is an input parameter of the component (lines 29–33);
  • lines 4–10: instead of inserting a code block with a <div> tag, a <template> tag is used here. The difference between the two is that the <template> tag is not included in the generated HTML code;
  • line 9: when the list displayed by the HTML table is empty, a button offers to refresh it. When this button is clicked, the [rechargerListe] method in lines 57–62 is executed. This method simply sends the [rechargerListe] event to the parent component, which instructs the parent to regenerate the list displayed by table HTML;
  • lines 12–22: the code displayed when the list to be displayed is not empty;
  • line 17: the <b-table> tag is the tag that generates a HTML table. The attributes used here are as follows:
    • [striped]: the background color of the rows alternates. There is one color for even rows and another for odd rows. This improves visibility;
    • [hover]: the row over which the mouse hovers changes color;
    • [responsive]: the table size adapts to the screen displaying it;
    • [:items]: the array of elements to display. Here, the array [lignes] is passed as a parameter to the component (lines 30–32);
    • [:fields]: an array defining the layout of the table HTML (lines 37–44);
      • Each element of the array [fields] defines a column of the table HTML;
      • [label]: specifies the column header;
      • [key]: specifies the column content;
  • line 38: defines column 0 of table HTML:
    • [#]: is the column header;
    • [id]: is its content. The [id] field from the displayed row will populate column 0;
  • row 39: defines column 1 of the table HTML:
    • [Marié]: is the column header;
    • [marié]: is its content. The [marié] field from the displayed row will populate column 0;
  • row 43: defines the last column of the table HTML:
    • the column has no title;
    • its content is defined by a field [action], a field that does not exist in the displayed rows. This key is referenced in row 18 of [template]. The key is therefore used here solely to identify a column;
  • lines 18–20: this code is used to define the last column of the HTML table, the one with key [action]:

<template v-slot:cell(action)="row">

The syntax [v-slot:cell(action)] refers to the key column [action]. This syntax allows you to define a column when the syntax of the table [fields] is not sufficient to describe it. Here, we want the last column to contain a link that allows a row to be deleted from the table HTML:

Image

In the [<template v-slot:cell(action)="row">] syntax, the name [row] refers to the row in the table. You can use any name you like. We could have written [<template v-slot:cell(action)="ligne">];

  • row 19: a <b-button> displayed as a link [variant=’link’]. Clicking this link triggers the execution of the method [supprimerLigne(row.index)]. Here, [row] is the name given to the row of the table HTML, line 18 of the code;
  • lines 50–55: the [supprimerLigne] method;
  • line 54: the event [supprimerLigne] is sent to the parent component along with the number of the row to be deleted;
  • lines 57–62: the [rechargerListe] method;
  • line 61: the [rechargerListe] event is sent to the parent component;
