Demo

View a demo here: https://ember-paper-data-table.semte.ch

Installation

ember install ember-paper
ember install ember-paper-data-table

Import the styles in app.scss

@import 'ember-paper';
@import 'ember-paper-data-table';

Getting started

Include the DataTableRouteMixin in the route which model you want to show in the data table. Configure the model name.

import Ember from 'ember';
import DataTableRouteMixin from 'ember-data-table/mixins/route';
 
export default Ember.Route.extend(DataTableRouteMixin, {
  modelName: 'blogpost'
});

Next, include the data table in your template:

{{data-table
  content=model
  fields="firstName lastName age created modified"
  isLoading=isLoadingModel
  filter=filter
  sort=sort
  page=page
  size=size
}}

Note: the filtering, sorting and pagination isn't done at the frontend. By including the DataTableRouteMixin in the route each change to the filter, sort, page and size params will result in a new request to the backend. The DataTableRouteMixin also sets an isLoadingModel flag while the route's model is being loaded.

Have a look at Customizing the data table to learn how you can customize the data table's header and body.

Data table component

Specification

The following parameters can be passed to the data-table component:

Parameter Required Default Description
content x a list of resources to be displayed in the table
fields names of the model fields to show as columns (seperated by whitespace)
isLoading false shows a spinner instead of the table content if true
filter current value of the text search
sort field by which the data is currently sorted
page number of the page that is currently displayed
size number of items shown on one page
enableSizes true flag to enable page size options dropdown
sizes [5, 10, 25, 50, 100] array of page size options (numbers)
link name of the route the first column will link to. The selected row will be passed as a parameter.
onClickRow action sent when a row is clicked. Takes the clicked item as a parameter.
autoSearch true whether filter value is updated automatically while typing (with a debounce) or user must click a search button explicitly to set the filter value.
noDataMessage No data message to be shown when there is no content
lineNumbers false display a line number per table row (default: false). Must be true or false.

By default the data table will make each column sortable. The search text box is only shown if the filter parameter is bound. Pagination is only shown if the pagination metadata is set on the model (see the Ember Data Table Serializer mixin).

Customizing the data table

The way the data is shown in the table can be customized by defining a content block instead of a fields parameter.

{{#data-table content=model filter=filter sort=sort page=page size=size onClickRow=(action "clickRow") as |t|}}
  {{#t.content as |c|}}
    {{#c.header}}
      {{th-sortable field='firstName' currentSorting=sort label='First name'}}
      {{th-sortable field='lastName' currentSorting=sort label='Last name'}}
      <th>Age</th>
      {{th-sortable field='created' currentSorting=sort label='Created'}}
      <th>Modified</th>
    {{/c.header}}
    {{#c.body as |row|}}
      <td>{{row.firstName}}</td>
      <td>{{row.lastName}}</td>
      <td>{{row.age}}</td>
      <td>{{moment-format row.created}}</td>
      <td>{{moment-format row.modified}}</td>
    {{/c.body}}
  {{/t.content}}
{{/data-table}}

Have a look at the helper components.

Adding actions to the data table

The user can add actions on top of the data table by providing a menu block.

{{#data-table content=model filter=filter sort=sort page=page size=size isLoading=isLoadingModel as |t|}}
  {{#t.menu as |menu|}}
    {{#menu.general}}
      {{#paper-button onClick=(action "export") accent=true noInk=true}}Export{{/paper-button}}
      {{#paper-button onClick=(action "print") accent=true noInk=true}}Print{{/paper-button}}          
    {{/menu.general}}
    {{#menu.selected as |selection datatable|}}
      {{#paper-button onClick=(action "delete" selection table) accent=true noInk=true}}Delete{{/paper-button}}
    {{/menu.selected}}
  {{/t.menu}}
  {{#t.content as |c|}}
    ...
  {{/t.content}}
{{/data-table}}

The menu block consists of a general and a selected block. The menu.general is shown by default. The menu.selected is shown when one or more rows in the data table are selected.

When applying an action on a selection, the currently selected rows can be provided to the action by the selection parameter. The user must reset the selection by calling clearSelection() on the data table. E.g.

actions:
  myAction(selection, datatable) {
    console.log("Hi, you reached my action for selection: " + JSON.stringify(selection));
    datatable.clearSelection();
  }
