## Table

Display multiple data with similar format. You can sort, filter, compare your data in a table.

### Basic table

Basic table is just for data display.

:::demo After setting attribute `data` of `el-table` with an object array, you can use `prop` (corresponding to a key of the object in `data` array) in `el-table-column` to insert data to table columns, and set the attribute `label` to define the column name. You can also use the attribute `width` to define the width of columns.

```html
  <template>
    <el-table
      :data="tableData"
      style="width: 100%">
      <el-table-column
        prop="date"
        label="Date"
        width="180">
      </el-table-column>
      <el-table-column
        prop="name"
        label="Name"
        width="180">
      </el-table-column>
      <el-table-column
        prop="address"
        label="Address">
      </el-table-column>
    </el-table>
  </template>

  <script>
    export default {
      data() {
        return {
          tableData: [{
            date: '2016-05-03',
            name: 'Tom',
            address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
          }, {
            date: '2016-05-02',
            name: 'Tom',
            address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
          }, {
            date: '2016-05-04',
            name: 'Tom',
            address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
          }, {
            date: '2016-05-01',
            name: 'Tom',
            address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
          }]
        }
      }
    }
  </script>
```

### Striped Table

Striped table makes it easier to distinguish different rows.

:::demo Attribute `stripe` accepts a `Boolean`. If `true`, table will be striped.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    stripe
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="name"
      label="Name"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="address"
      label="Address">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }]
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Table with border

:::demo By default, Table has no vertical border. If you need it, you can set attribute `border` to `true`.

```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    border
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="name"
      label="Name"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="address"
      label="Address">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }]
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Table with status

You can highlight your table content to distinguish between "success, information, warning, danger" and other states.

:::demo Use `row-class-name` in `el-table` to add custom classes to a certain row. Then you can style it with custom classes.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    style="width: 100%"
    :row-class-name="tableRowClassName">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="name"
      label="Name"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="address"
      label="Address">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
</template>

<style>
  .el-table .warning-row {
    background: oldlace;
  }

  .el-table .success-row {
    background: #f0f9eb;
  }
</style>

<script>
  export default {
    methods: {
      tableRowClassName({row, rowIndex}) {
        if (rowIndex === 1) {
          return 'warning-row';
        } else if (rowIndex === 3) {
          return 'success-row';
        }
        return '';
      }
    },
    data() {
      return {
        tableData:  [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }]
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Table with fixed header

When there are too many rows, you can use a fixed header.

:::demo By setting the attribute `height` of `el-table`, you can fix the table header without any other codes.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    height="250"
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="name"
      label="Name"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="address"
      label="Address">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-08',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-06',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'

### Table with fixed column

When there are too many columns, you can fix some of them.

:::demo Attribute `fixed` is used in `el-table-column`, it accepts a `Boolean`. If `true`, the column will be fixed at left. It also accepts two string literals: 'left' and 'right', both indicating that the column will be fixed at corresponding direction.
```html
<template>

### Fluid-height Table with fixed header (and columns)

When the the data is dynamically changed, you might want the table to have a maximum height rather than a fixed height and to show the scroll bar if needed.

:::demo  By setting the attribute `max-height` of `el-table`, you can fix the table header. The table body scrolls only if the height of the rows exceeds the max height value.

### Grouping table head

When the data structure is complex, you can use group header to show the data hierarchy.

:::demo Only need to place el-table-column inside a el-table-column, you can achieve group header.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      width="150">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column label="Delivery Info">
      <el-table-column
        prop="name"
        label="Name"
        width="120">
      </el-table-column>
      <el-table-column label="Address Info">
        <el-table-column
          prop="state"
          label="State"
          width="120">
        </el-table-column>

### Single select

Single row selection is supported.

:::demo Table supports single row selection. You can activate it by adding the `highlight-current-row` attribute. An event called `current-change` will be triggered when row selection changes, and its parameters are the rows after and before this change: `currentRow` and `oldCurrentRow`. If you need to display row index, you can add a new `el-table-column` with its `type` attribute assigned to `index`, and you will see the index starting from 1.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    ref="singleTable"
    :data="tableData"
    highlight-current-row
    @current-change="handleCurrentChange"
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      type="index"
      width="50">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      property="date"
      label="Date"
      width="120">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      property="name"
      label="Name"
      width="120">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      property="address"
      label="Address">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-button @click="setCurrent(tableData[1])">Select second row</el-button>
    <el-button @click="setCurrent()">Clear selection</el-button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }],
        currentRow: null
      }
    },

    methods: {
      setCurrent(row) {
        this.$refs.singleTable.setCurrentRow(row);
      },
      handleCurrentChange(val) {
        this.currentRow = val;
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Multiple select

You can also select multiple rows.

:::demo Activating multiple selection is easy: simply add an `el-table-column` with its `type` set to `selection`. Apart from multiple selection, this example also uses `show-overflow-tooltip`: by default, if the content is too long, it will break into multiple lines. If you want to keep it in one line, use attribute `show-overflow-tooltip`, which accepts a `Boolean` value. When set `true`, the extra content will show in tooltip when hover on the cell.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    ref="multipleTable"
    :data="tableData"
    style="width: 100%"
    @selection-change="handleSelectionChange">
    <el-table-column
      type="selection"
      width="55">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      label="Date"
      width="120">
      <template slot-scope="scope">{{ scope.row.date }}</template>
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      property="name"
      label="Name"
      width="120">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      property="address"
      label="Address"
      show-overflow-tooltip>
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
  <div style="margin-top: 20px">
    <el-button @click="toggleSelection([tableData[1], tableData[2]])">Toggle selection status of second and third rows</el-button>
    <el-button @click="toggleSelection()">Clear selection</el-button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',

          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',

        }],
        multipleSelection: []
      }
    },

    methods: {
      toggleSelection(rows) {
        if (rows) {
          rows.forEach(row => {
            this.$refs.multipleTable.toggleRowSelection(row);
          });
        } else {
          this.$refs.multipleTable.clearSelection();
        }

      handleSelectionChange(val) {
        this.multipleSelection = val;
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Sorting

Sort the data to find or compare data quickly.

:::demo Set attribute `sortable` in a certain column to sort the data based on this column. It accepts `Boolean` with a default value `false`. Set table attribute `default-sort` to determine default sort column and order. To apply your own sorting rules, use `sort-method` or `sort-by`. If you need remote sorting from backend, set `sortable` to `custom`, and listen to the `sort-change` event on Table. In the event handler, you have access to the sorting column and sorting order so that you can fetch sorted table data from API. In this example we use another attribute named `formatter` to format the value of certain columns. It accepts a function which has two parameters: `row` and `column`. You can handle it according to your own needs.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    :default-sort = "{prop: 'date', order: 'descending'}"
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column
      prop="date"
      label="Date"
      sortable
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="name"
      label="Name"
      width="180">
    </el-table-column>
    <el-table-column
      prop="address"
      label="Address"
      :formatter="formatter">
    </el-table-column>
  </el-table>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        tableData: [{
          date: '2016-05-03',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-02',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-04',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }, {
          date: '2016-05-01',
          name: 'Tom',
          address: 'No. 189, Grove St, Los Angeles'
        }]
      }
    },
    methods: {
      formatter(row, column) {
        return row.address;
      }
    }
  }
</script>
```
:::

### Filter

Filter the table to find desired data.

:::demo Set attribute `filters` and `filter-method` in `el-table-column` makes this column filterable. `filters` is an array, and `filter-method` is a function deciding which rows are displayed. It has three parameters: `value`, `row` and `column`.
```html
<template>
  <el-button @click="resetDateFilter">reset date filter</el-button>
  <el-button @click="clearFilter">reset all filters</el-button>
  <el-table
    ref="filterTable"
    :data="tableData"
    style="width: 100%">

### Expandable row

When the row content is too long and you do not want to display the horizontal scroll bar, you can use the expandable row feature.
:::demo Activate expandable row by adding type="expand" and scoped slot. The template for el-table-column will be rendered as the contents of the expanded row, and you can access the same attributes as when you are using `Scoped slot` in custom column templates.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    style="width: 100%">
    <el-table-column type="expand">
      <template slot-scope="props">

### Tree data and lazy mode

:::demo You can display tree structure data. When row contains the `children` field, it is treated as nested data. For rendering nested data, the prop `row-key` is required。Also, child row data can be loaded asynchronously. Set `lazy` property of Table to true and the function `load`. Specify `hasChildren` attribute in row to determine which row contains children. Both `children` and `hasChildren` can be configured via `tree-props`.

```html
<template>
<div>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"

### Summary row

For table of numbers, you can add an extra row at the table footer displaying each column's sum.
:::demo You can add the summary row by setting `show-summary` to `true`. By default, for the summary row, the first column does not sum anything up but always displays 'Sum' (you can configure the displayed text using `sum-text`), while other columns sum every number in that column up and display them. You can of course define your own sum behaviour. To do so, pass a method to `summary-method`, which returns an array, and each element of the returned array will be displayed in the columns of the summary row. The second table of this example is a detailed demo.
```html
<template>
  <el-table
    :data="tableData"
    border
    show-summary
    style="width: 100%">

### Rowspan and colspan

Configuring rowspan and colspan allows you to merge cells
:::demo Use the `span-method` attribute to configure rowspan and colspan. It accepts a method, and passes an object to that method including current row `row`, current column `column`, current row index `rowIndex` and current column index `columnIndex`. The method should return an array of two numbers, the first number being `rowspan` and second `colspan`. It can also return an object with `rowspan` and `colspan` props.
