Data Table

Powerful table and datagrids built using TanStack Table.

Status		Amount
success	[email protected]	$316.00
success	[email protected]	$242.00
processing	[email protected]	$837.00
success	[email protected]	$874.00
failed	[email protected]	$721.00

0 of 5 row(s) selected.

Introduction

Every data table or datagrid I've created has been unique. They all behave differently, have specific sorting and filtering requirements, and work with different data sources.

It doesn't make sense to combine all of these variations into a single component. If we do that, we'll lose the flexibility that headless UI provides.

So instead of a data-table component, I thought it would be more helpful to provide a guide on how to build your own.

We'll start with the basic <Table /> component and build a complex data table from scratch.

Tip: If you find yourself using the same table in multiple places in your app, you can always extract it into a reusable component.

This guide will show you how to use TanStack Table and the <Table /> component to build your own custom data table. We'll cover the following topics:

Basic Table
Row Actions
Pagination
Sorting
Filtering
Visibility
Row Selection
Reusable Components

Installation

Add the <Table /> component to your project:

bash

npx sigma-ui@latest add table

Add tanstack/vue-table dependency:

bash

npm install @tanstack/vue-table

Status		Amount
success	[email protected]	$316.00
success	[email protected]	$242.00
processing	[email protected]	$837.00
success	[email protected]	$874.00
failed	[email protected]	$721.00

0 of 5 row(s) selected.

Prerequisites

We are going to build a table to show recent payments. Here's what our data looks like:

interface Payment {
  id: string
  amount: number
  status: 'pending' | 'processing' | 'success' | 'failed'
  email: string
}

export const payments: Payment[] = [
  {
    id: '728ed52f',
    amount: 100,
    status: 'pending',
    email: '[email protected]',
  },
  {
    id: '489e1d42',
    amount: 125,
    status: 'processing',
    email: '[email protected]',
  },
  // ...
]

Project Structure

Start by creating the following file structure:

txt

 components
    └── payments
          ├── columns.ts
          ├── data-table.vue
          ├── data-table-dropdown.vue
└── app.vue

I'm using a Nuxt example here but this works for any other Vue framework.

columns.ts It will contain our column definitions.
data-table.vue It will contain our <DataTable /> component.
data-table-dropdown.vue It will contain our <DropdownAction /> component.
app.vue This is where we'll fetch data and render our table.

Basic Table

Let's start by building a basic table.

Column Definitions

First, we'll define our columns in the columns.ts file.

import { h } from 'vue'

export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
  {
    accessorKey: 'amount',
    header: () => h('div', { class: 'text-right' }, 'Amount'),
    cell: ({ row }) => {
      const amount = Number.parseFloat(row.getValue('amount'))
      const formatted = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
        style: 'currency',
        currency: 'USD',
      }).format(amount)

      return h('div', { class: 'text-right font-medium' }, formatted)
    },
  }
]

Note: Columns are where you define the core of what your table will look like. They define the data that will be displayed, how it will be formatted, sorted and filtered.

`<DataTable />` component

Next, we'll create a <DataTable /> component to render our table.

vue

<script setup lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
import type { ColumnDef } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import {
  FlexRender,
  getCoreRowModel,
  useVueTable,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'

import {
  Table,
  TableBody,
  TableCell,
  TableHead,
  TableHeader,
  TableRow,
} from '@/components/ui/table'

const props = defineProps<{
  columns: ColumnDef<TData, TValue>[]
  data: TData[]
}>()

const table = useVueTable({
  get data() { return props.data },
  get columns() { return props.columns },
  getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
})
</script>

<template>
  <div class="border rounded-md">
    <Table>
      <TableHeader>
        <TableRow
          v-for="headerGroup in table.getHeaderGroups()"
          :key="headerGroup.id"
        >
          <TableHead
            v-for="header in headerGroup.headers"
            :key="header.id"
          >
            <FlexRender
              v-if="!header.isPlaceholder"
              :render="header.column.columnDef.header"
              :props="header.getContext()"
            />
          </TableHead>
        </TableRow>
      </TableHeader>
      <TableBody>
        <template v-if="table.getRowModel().rows?.length">
          <TableRow
            v-for="row in table.getRowModel().rows"
            :key="row.id"
            :data-state="row.getIsSelected() ? 'selected' : undefined"
          >
            <TableCell
              v-for="cell in row.getVisibleCells()"
              :key="cell.id"
            >
              <FlexRender
                :render="cell.column.columnDef.cell"
                :props="cell.getContext()"
              />
            </TableCell>
          </TableRow>
        </template>
        <template v-else>
          <TableRow>
            <TableCell
              :colspan="columns.length"
              class="h-24 text-center"
            >
              No results.
            </TableCell>
          </TableRow>
        </template>
      </TableBody>
    </Table>
  </div>
</template>

Tip: If you find yourself using <DataTable /> in multiple places, this is the component you could make reusable by extracting it to components/ui/data-table.vue.

<DataTable :columns="columns" :data="data" />

Render the table

Finally, we'll render our table in our index component.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted, ref } from 'vue'
import { columns } from './components/columns'
import type { Payment } from './components/columns'
import DataTable from './components/DataTable.vue'

const data = ref<Payment[]>([])

async function getData(): Promise<Payment[]> {
  // Fetch data from your API here.
  return [
    {
      id: '728ed52f',
      amount: 100,
      status: 'pending',
      email: '[email protected]',
    },
    // ...
  ]
}

onMounted(async () => {
  data.value = await getData()
})
</script>

<template>
  <div class="container py-10 mx-auto">
    <DataTable
      :columns="columns"
      :data="data"
    />
  </div>
</template>

Cell Formatting

Let's format the amount cell to display the dollar amount. We'll also align the cell to the right.

Update columns definition

Update the header and cell definitions for amount as follows:

import { h } from 'vue'

export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
  {
    accessorKey: 'amount',
    header: () => h('div', { class: 'text-right' }, 'Amount'),
    cell: ({ row }) => {
      const amount = Number.parseFloat(row.getValue('amount'))
      const formatted = new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
        style: 'currency',
        currency: 'USD',
      }).format(amount)

      return h('div', { class: 'text-right font-medium' }, formatted)
    },
  }
]

You can use the same approach to format other cells and headers.

Row Actions

Let's add row actions to our table. We'll use a <Dropdown /> component for this.

Add the following into your `DataTableDropDown.vue` component

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { MoreHorizontalIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { DropdownMenu, DropdownMenuContent, DropdownMenuItem, DropdownMenuLabel, DropdownMenuSeparator, DropdownMenuTrigger } from '@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'

defineProps<{
  payment: {
    id: string
  }
}>()

function copy(id: string) {
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(id)
}
</script>

<template>
  <DropdownMenu>
    <DropdownMenuTrigger as-child>
      <Button
        variant="ghost"
        class="w-8 h-8 p-0"
      >
        <span class="sr-only">Open menu</span>
        <MoreHorizontalIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
      </Button>
    </DropdownMenuTrigger>
    <DropdownMenuContent align="end">
      <DropdownMenuLabel>Actions</DropdownMenuLabel>
      <DropdownMenuItem @click="copy(payment.id)">
        Copy payment ID
      </DropdownMenuItem>
      <DropdownMenuSeparator />
      <DropdownMenuItem>View customer</DropdownMenuItem>
      <DropdownMenuItem>View payment details</DropdownMenuItem>
    </DropdownMenuContent>
  </DropdownMenu>
</template>

Update columns definition

Update our columns definition to add a new actions column. The actions cell returns a <Dropdown /> component.

import { ColumnDef } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import DropdownAction from '@/components/DataTableDropDown.vue'

export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
  // ...
  {
    id: 'actions',
    enableHiding: false,
    cell: ({ row }) => {
      const payment = row.original

      return h('div', { class: 'relative' }, h(DropdownAction, {
        payment,
      }))
    },
  },
]

You can access the row data using row.original in the cell function. Use this to handle actions for your row eg. use the id to make a DELETE call to your API.

Pagination

Next, we'll add pagination to our table.

Update `<DataTable>`

import {
    FlexRender,
    getCoreRowModel,
    getPaginationRowModel,
    useVueTable,
} from "@tanstack/vue-table"

const table = useVueTable({
    get data() { return props.data },
    get columns() { return props.columns },
    getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
    getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
})

This will automatically paginate your rows into pages of 10. See the pagination docs for more information on customizing page size and implementing manual pagination.

Add pagination controls

We can add pagination controls to our table using the <Button /> component and the table.previousPage(), table.nextPage() API methods.

vue

<script lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'

const table = useVueTable({
  get data() { return props.data },
  get columns() { return props.columns },
  getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
  getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
})
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <div class="border rounded-md">
      <Table>
        { // .... }
      </Table>
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center justify-end py-4 space-x-2">
      <Button
        variant="outline"
        size="sm"
        :disabled="!table.getCanPreviousPage()"
        @click="table.previousPage()"
      >
        Previous
      </Button>
      <Button
        variant="outline"
        size="sm"
        :disabled="!table.getCanNextPage()"
        @click="table.nextPage()"
      >
        Next
      </Button>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

See Reusable Components section for a more advanced pagination component.

Sorting

Let's make the email column sortable.

Add the following into your `utils` file

import { type ClassValue, clsx } from 'clsx'
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'

import type { Updater } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import type { Ref } from 'vue'

export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
}

export function valueUpdater<T extends Updater<any>>(updaterOrValue: T, ref: Ref) {
  ref.value = typeof updaterOrValue === 'function'
    ? updaterOrValue(ref.value)
    : updaterOrValue
}

The valueUpdater function updates a Vue ref object's value. It handles both direct assignments and transformations using a function. If updaterOrValue is a function, it's called with the current ref value, and the result is assigned to ref.value. If it's not a function, it's directly assigned to ref.value. This utility enhances flexibility in updating ref values. While Vue ref can manage reactive state directly, valueUpdater simplifies value updates, improving code readability and maintainability when the new state can be a direct value or a function generating it based on the current one.

Update `<DataTable>`

vue

<script setup lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
import type {
  ColumnDef,
  SortingState,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'

import { ArrowUpDownIcon, ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { h, ref } from 'vue'

import {
  FlexRender,
  getCoreRowModel,
  getPaginationRowModel,
  getSortedRowModel,
  useVueTable,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import { valueUpdater } from '@/lib/utils'

import {
  Table,
  TableBody,
  TableCell,
  TableHead,
  TableHeader,
  TableRow,
} from '@/components/ui/table'

const props = defineProps<{
  columns: ColumnDef<TData, TValue>[]
  data: TData[]
}>()

const sorting = ref<SortingState>([])

const table = useVueTable({
  get data() { return props.data },
  get columns() { return props.columns },
  getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
  getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
  getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),
  onSortingChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, sorting),
  state: {
    get sorting() { return sorting.value },
  },
})
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <div class="border rounded-md">
      <Table>{ ... }</Table>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Make header cell sortable

We can now update the email header cell to add sorting controls.

// components/payments/columns.ts
import type {
  ColumnDef,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import { ArrowUpDownIcon, ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'

export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
    {
        accessorKey: 'email',
        header: ({ column }) => {
            return h(Button, {
                variant: 'ghost',
                onClick: () => column.toggleSorting(column.getIsSorted() === 'asc'),
            }, () => ['Email', h(ArrowUpDownIcon, { class: 'ml-2 h-4 w-4' })])
        },
        cell: ({ row }) => h('div', { class: 'lowercase' }, row.getValue('email')),
    },
]

This will automatically sort the table (asc and desc) when the user toggles on the header cell.

Filtering

Let's add a search input to filter emails in our table.

Update `<DataTable>`

vue

<script setup lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
import type {
  ColumnDef,
  ColumnFiltersState,
  SortingState,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'

import { valueUpdater } from '@/lib/utils'

import { ArrowUpDownIcon, ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import { h, ref } from 'vue'

import {
    FlexRender,
    getCoreRowModel,
    getPaginationRowModel,
    getFilteredRowModel,
    getSortedRowModel,
    useVueTable,
} from "@tanstack/vue-table"

import {
    Table,
    TableBody,
    TableCell,
    TableHead,
    TableHeader,
    TableRow,
} from "@/components/ui/table"

const props = defineProps<{
    columns: ColumnDef<TData, TValue>[]
    data: TData[]
}>()

const sorting = ref<SortingState>([])
const columnFilters = ref<ColumnFiltersState>([])

const table = useVueTable({
    get data() { return props.data },
    get columns() { return props.columns },
    getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
    getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
    getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),
    onSortingChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, sorting),
    onColumnFiltersChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, columnFilters),
    getFilteredRowModel: getFilteredRowModel(),
    state: {
        get sorting() { return sorting.value },
        get columnFilters() { return columnFilters.value },
    },
})

</script>

<template>
    <div>
        <div class="flex items-center py-4">
            <Input class="max-w-sm" placeholder="Filter emails..."
                :model-value="table.getColumn('email')?.getFilterValue() as string"
                @update:model-value=" table.getColumn('email')?.setFilterValue($event)" />
        </div>
        <div class="border rounded-md">
            <Table>{ ... }</Table>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

Filtering is now enabled for the email column. You can add filters to other columns as well. See the filtering docs for more information on customizing filters.

Visibility

Adding column visibility is fairly simple using @tanstack/vue-table visibility API.

Update `<DataTable>`

vue

<script setup lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
import type {
  ColumnDef,
  ColumnFiltersState,
  SortingState,
  VisibilityState,
} from '@tanstack/vue-table'

import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuCheckboxItem,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from '@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'

import { valueUpdater } from '@/lib/utils'

import { ArrowUpDownIcon, ChevronDownIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { Input } from '@/components/ui/input'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import { h, ref } from 'vue'

import {
    FlexRender,
    getCoreRowModel,
    getPaginationRowModel,
    getFilteredRowModel,
    getSortedRowModel,
    useVueTable,
} from "@tanstack/vue-table"

import {
    Table,
    TableBody,
    TableCell,
    TableHead,
    TableHeader,
    TableRow,
} from "@/components/ui/table"

const props = defineProps<{
    columns: ColumnDef<TData, TValue>[]
    data: TData[]
}>()

const sorting = ref<SortingState>([])
const columnFilters = ref<ColumnFiltersState>([])
const columnVisibility = ref<VisibilityState>({})

const table = useVueTable({
    get data() { return props.data },
    get columns() { return props.columns },
    getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
    getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
    getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),
    getFilteredRowModel: getFilteredRowModel(),
    onSortingChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, sorting),
    onColumnFiltersChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, columnFilters),
    onColumnVisibilityChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, columnVisibility),
    state: {
        get sorting() { return sorting.value },
        get columnFilters() { return columnFilters.value },
        get columnVisibility() { return columnVisibility.value },
    },
})

</script>

                            </TableCell>
                        </TableRow>
                    </template>
                </TableBody>
            </Table>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

This adds a dropdown menu that you can use to toggle column visibility.

Row Selection

Next, we're going to add row selection to our table.

Update column definitions

import type { ColumnDef } from '@tanstack/vue-table'

import { Checkbox } from '@/components/ui/checkbox'

export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
    {
        id: 'select',
        header: ({ table }) => h(Checkbox, {
            'checked': table.getIsAllPageRowsSelected(),
            'onUpdate:checked': (value: boolean) => table.toggleAllPageRowsSelected(!!value),
            'ariaLabel': 'Select all',
        }),
        cell: ({ row }) => h(Checkbox, {
            'checked': row.getIsSelected(),
            'onUpdate:checked': (value: boolean) => row.toggleSelected(!!value),
            'ariaLabel': 'Select row',
        }),
        enableSorting: false,
        enableHiding: false,
    },
]

Update `<DataTable>`

vue

<script setup lang="ts" generic="TData, TValue">
const props = defineProps<{
    columns: ColumnDef<TData, TValue>[]
    data: TData[]
}>()

const sorting = ref<SortingState>([])
const columnFilters = ref<ColumnFiltersState>([])
const columnVisibility = ref<VisibilityState>({})
const rowSelection = ref({})

const table = useVueTable({
    get data() { return props.data },
    get columns() { return props.columns },
    getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
    getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),
    getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),
    getFilteredRowModel: getFilteredRowModel(),
    onSortingChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, sorting),
    onColumnFiltersChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, columnFilters),
    onColumnVisibilityChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, columnVisibility),
    onRowSelectionChange: updaterOrValue => valueUpdater(updaterOrValue, rowSelection),
    state: {
        get sorting() { return sorting.value },
        get columnFilters() { return columnFilters.value },
        get columnVisibility() { return columnVisibility.value },
        get rowSelection() { return rowSelection.value },
    },
})

</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <div class="border rounded-md">
        <Table />
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

This adds a checkbox to each row and a checkbox in the header to select all rows.

Show selected rows

You can show the number of selected rows using the table.getFilteredSelectedRowModel() API.

vue

<template>
  <div>
    <div class="border rounded-md">
        <Table />
    </div>

    <div class="flex items-center justify-end space-x-2 py-4">
      <div class="flex-1 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
        {{ table.getFilteredSelectedRowModel().rows.length }} of
        {{ table.getFilteredRowModel().rows.length }} row(s) selected.
      </div>
      <div class="space-x-2">
        <PaginationButtons />
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Expanding

Let's make rows expandable.

                </TableBody>
            </Table>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

Add the expand action to the `DataTableDropDown.vue` component

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { MoreHorizontalIcon } from 'lucide-vue-next'
import { DropdownMenu, DropdownMenuContent, DropdownMenuItem, DropdownMenuLabel, DropdownMenuSeparator, DropdownMenuTrigger } from '@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'

defineProps<{
  payment: {
    id: string
  }
}>()

defineEmits<{
  (e: 'expand'): void
}>()

function copy(id: string) {
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(id)
}
</script>

<template>
  <DropdownMenu>
    <DropdownMenuTrigger as-child>
      <Button variant="ghost" class="w-8 h-8 p-0">
        <span class="sr-only">Open menu</span>
        <MoreHorizontalIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
      </Button>
    </DropdownMenuTrigger>
    <DropdownMenuContent align="end">
      <DropdownMenuLabel>Actions</DropdownMenuLabel>
      <DropdownMenuItem @click="copy(payment.id)">
        Copy payment ID
      </DropdownMenuItem>
      <DropdownMenuItem @click="$emit('expand')">
        Expand
      </DropdownMenuItem>
      <DropdownMenuSeparator />
      <DropdownMenuItem>View customer</DropdownMenuItem>
      <DropdownMenuItem>View payment details</DropdownMenuItem>
    </DropdownMenuContent>
  </DropdownMenu>
</template>

Make rows expandable

Now we can update the action cell to add the expand control.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
export const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
  {
    id: 'actions',
    enableHiding: false,
    cell: ({ row }) => {
      const payment = row.original

      return h('div', { class: 'relative' }, h(DropdownAction, {
        payment,
        onExpand: row.toggleExpanded,
      }))
    },
  },
]
</script>

Reusable Components

Here are some components you can use to build your data tables. This is from the Tasks demo.

Column header

Make any column header sortable and hideable.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Column } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import { type Task } from '../data/schema'
import ArrowDownIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/arrow-down'
import ArrowUpIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/arrow-up'
import CaretSortIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/caret-sort'
import EyeNoneIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/eye-none'

import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuSeparator,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from '@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'

interface DataTableColumnHeaderProps {
  column: Column<Task, any>
  title: string
}

defineProps<DataTableColumnHeaderProps>()
</script>

<script lang="ts">
export default {
  inheritAttrs: false,
}
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="column.getCanSort()" :class="cn('flex items-center space-x-2', $attrs.class ?? '')">
    <DropdownMenu>
      <DropdownMenuTrigger as-child>
        <Button
          variant="ghost"
          size="sm"
          class="-ml-3 h-8 data-[state=open]:bg-accent"
        >
          <span>{{ title }}</span>
          <ArrowDownIcon v-if="column.getIsSorted() === 'desc'" class="w-4 h-4 ml-2" />
          <ArrowUpIcon v-else-if=" column.getIsSorted() === 'asc'" class="w-4 h-4 ml-2" />
          <CaretSortIcon v-else class="w-4 h-4 ml-2" />
        </Button>
      </DropdownMenuTrigger>
      <DropdownMenuContent align="start">
        <DropdownMenuItem @click="column.toggleSorting(false)">
          <ArrowUpIcon class="mr-2 h-3.5 w-3.5 text-muted-foreground/70" />
          Asc
        </DropdownMenuItem>
        <DropdownMenuItem @click="column.toggleSorting(true)">
          <ArrowDownIcon class="mr-2 h-3.5 w-3.5 text-muted-foreground/70" />
          Desc
        </DropdownMenuItem>
        <DropdownMenuSeparator />
        <DropdownMenuItem @click="column.toggleVisibility(false)">
          <EyeNoneIcon class="mr-2 h-3.5 w-3.5 text-muted-foreground/70" />
          Hide
        </DropdownMenuItem>
      </DropdownMenuContent>
    </DropdownMenu>
  </div>

  <div v-else :class="$attrs.class">
    {{ title }}
  </div>
</template>

export const columns = [
  {
    accessorKey: "email",
    header: ({ column }) => (
        h(DataTableColumnHeader, {
            column: column,
            title: 'Email'
        })
    ),
  },
]

Pagination

Add pagination controls to your table including page size and selection count.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { type Table } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import { type Task } from '../data/schema'
import ChevronLeftIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/chevron-left'
import ChevronRightIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/chevron-right'
import DoubleArrowLeftIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/double-arrow-left'
import DoubleArrowRightIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/double-arrow-right'

import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button'
import {
  Select,
  SelectContent,
  SelectItem,
  SelectTrigger,
  SelectValue,
} from '@/components/ui/select'

interface DataTablePaginationProps {
  table: Table<Task>
}
defineProps<DataTablePaginationProps>()
</script>

<template>
  <div class="flex items-center justify-between px-2">
    <div class="flex-1 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
      {{ table.getFilteredSelectedRowModel().rows.length }} of
      {{ table.getFilteredRowModel().rows.length }} row(s) selected.
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center space-x-6 lg:space-x-8">
      <div class="flex items-center space-x-2">
        <p class="text-sm font-medium">
          Rows per page
        </p>
        <Select
          :model-value="`${table.getState().pagination.pageSize}`"
          @update:model-value="table.setPageSize"
        >
          <SelectTrigger class="h-8 w-[70px]">
            <SelectValue :placeholder="`${table.getState().pagination.pageSize}`" />
          </SelectTrigger>
          <SelectContent side="top">
            <SelectItem v-for="pageSize in [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]" :key="pageSize" :value="`${pageSize}`">
              {{ pageSize }}
            </SelectItem>
          </SelectContent>
        </Select>
      </div>
      <div class="flex w-[100px] items-center justify-center text-sm font-medium">
        Page {{ table.getState().pagination.pageIndex + 1 }} of
        {{ table.getPageCount() }}
      </div>
      <div class="flex items-center space-x-2">
        <Button
          variant="outline"
          class="hidden w-8 h-8 p-0 lg:flex"
          :disabled="!table.getCanPreviousPage()"
          @click="table.setPageIndex(0)"
        >
          <span class="sr-only">Go to first page</span>
          <DoubleArrowLeftIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
        </Button>
        <Button
          variant="outline"
          class="w-8 h-8 p-0"
          :disabled="!table.getCanPreviousPage()"
          @click="table.previousPage()"
        >
          <span class="sr-only">Go to previous page</span>
          <ChevronLeftIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
        </Button>
        <Button
          variant="outline"
          class="w-8 h-8 p-0"
          :disabled="!table.getCanNextPage()"
          @click="table.nextPage()"
        >
          <span class="sr-only">Go to next page</span>
          <ChevronRightIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
        </Button>
        <Button
          variant="outline"
          class="hidden w-8 h-8 p-0 lg:flex"
          :disabled="!table.getCanNextPage()"
          @click="table.setPageIndex(table.getPageCount() - 1)"
        >
          <span class="sr-only">Go to last page</span>
          <DoubleArrowRightIcon class="w-4 h-4" />
        </Button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

vue

<DataTablePagination :table="table" />

Column toggle

A component to toggle column visibility.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Table } from '@tanstack/vue-table'
import { computed } from 'vue'
import { type Task } from '../data/schema'
import MixerHorizontalIcon from '~icons/radix-icons/mixer-horizontal'

interface DataTableViewOptionsProps {
  table: Table<Task>
}

const props = defineProps<DataTableViewOptionsProps>()

const columns = computed(() => props.table.getAllColumns()
  .filter(
    column =>
      typeof column.accessorFn !== 'undefined' && column.getCanHide(),
  ))
</script>

<template>
  <DropdownMenu>
    <DropdownMenuTrigger as-child>
      <Button
        variant="outline"
        size="sm"
