Quasar has 72 Components! If you want to watch a video on every single one of them, take a look at QuasarComponents.Com.
There's also a bunch of bonuses like Building YouTube's UI, Creating a Live Quasar Chat App, Crafting Quasar UI Library with your very own App Extension AND...
All proceeds go directly to helping the development of Quasar!
Pretty cool huh?
So check it out, and join all the other cool cats at QuasarComponents.Com
Now let's have some fun with QTable
!!!
Setup
Never used Quasar before? Here's the tldr of setting up Quasar so you can follow along π
npm install -g @quasar/cli
quasar create q-table-play
cd q-table-play
quasar dev
Or, clone The Github Repo.
You now have an app that can export to mobile, desktop, spa, pwa, ssr and even a browser extension. I'm not joking!
Now let's get to QTable
!
Data
QTable is likely the most gorgeously designed, magnificently crafted, well thought out components on the web. Why?
It follows a wonderful pattern (like all other Quasar components)...
Easy to get started, yet configurable to the nth degree!
Now check this out...
<q-table
:rows="[
{
name: 'Panda',
email: 'panda@chihuahua.com',
},
{
name: 'Lily',
email: 'lily@chihuahua.com',
}
]"
/>
That's right! We just give it an array of objects (aka collection) and it runs smoother than a tesla...
But it gets better...
Specifying Columns
So can you customize the columns?...
OF COURSE YOU CAN!
<q-table
title="My Chihuahuas"
:rows="[
{
name: 'Panda',
email: 'panda@chihuahua.com',
age: 6
},
{
name: 'Lily',
email: 'lily@chihuahua.com',
age: 5
}
]"
:columns="[
{
label: 'Dog Name',
field: 'name',
name: 'name',
align: 'left'
},
{
label: 'Email',
field: 'email',
name: 'email',
align: 'left'
},
{
label: 'Age',
field: 'age',
name: 'age',
align: 'center',
format: age => `${age} years`
}
]"
/>
You would probably want to move the columns and data out of the template, I just want to keep these examples simple π
Simple right?
We just give that bad boi an object for every column. Try changing the order of the columns and see what happens...
Also, notice we can add a formatter with format
(see the "age" column). And there's something else cool here.
We can easily align
content, and set the label
!
We also have sortable
, style
, classes
and more! Checkout the QColumn SmΓΆrgΓ₯sbord here (click on Column
to see all the options)
But we need basics like a "title" and of course... Dark Mode
Title and Dark Mode
Wait what? Your table doesn't support dark mode? How do you sleep at night!?
Just fine. Get over it.
Seriously though, dark mode is pretty sweet, and Quasar's QTable
supports it with the unambiguous dark
property!
While we're at it, let's use separator
to add horizontal and vertical lines!
We'll also remove pagination with :rows-per-page-options="[0]"
(much more on pagination later), and we'll hide the bottom row to save space!
And you know what? Those cells are lookin waaay too chunky. Let's dense 'em up with the dense
property!
<q-table
dark
:rows-per-page-options="[0]"
hide-bottom
separator="cell"
dense
:rows="[
{
name: 'Panda',
email: 'panda@chihuahua.com',
},
{
name: 'Lily',
email: 'lily@chihuahua.com',
},
]"
/>
There we go. Thanks to that dark
property, we're hip... and accepted in the coding community π π
Oh so much more to come!...
So there you have it! This is just the beginning of a 6 part series. I have so much cool $^*&#% to share with you AND...
If you love Quasar's components as much as me, or want to see an in depth video on QTable
, meet me over at QuasarComponents.Com
We'll cover All 72 Quasar Components and...

So thanks for reading. Tomorrow we'll cover expandable rows and selectable rows. Really cool stuff, and Quasar makes it simple π
