Laravel Livewire Tables

Directly inspired by : Laravel Livewire Tables

This package has been made for Matiere Noire internal's projects and is not destined to be working as a "ready to go" package for now

A dynamic, responsive Laravel Livewire table component with searching, sorting, checkboxes, and pagination.

Installation

Make sure you've installed Laravel Livewire.

Installing this package via composer:

composer require matiere-noire/laravel-livewire-table

This package was designed to work well with Laravel frontend scaffolding.

If you're just doing scaffolding now, you'll need to add the Livewire @livewireScripts and @livewireStyles blade directives to your resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php file:

<!-- Styles -->
<link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
@livewireStyles

...

<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>
@livewireScripts

Making Table Components

Using the make command:

php artisan make:table UserTable --model=User

This creates your new table component in the app/Http/Livewire folder.

After making a component, you may want to edit the query and column methods:

class UserTable extends TableComponent
{
    public function query()
    {
        return User::query();
    }

    public function columns()
    {
        return [
            Column::make('ID')->searchable()->sortable(),
            Column::make('Created At')->searchable()->sortable(),
            Column::make('Updated At')->searchable()->sortable(),
        ];
    }
}

You don't have to use the render() method in your table component or worry about a component view, because the package handles that automatically.

Using Table Components

You use table components in views just like any other Livewire component:

@livewire('user-table')

Now all you have to do is update your table component class!

Publishing Files

Publishing files is optional.

Publishing the table view files:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=table-views

Publishing the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=table-config

Table Component Properties

$table_class

Sets the CSS class names to use on the <table>. Defaults to table-hover.

Example:

public $table_class = 'table-hover table-striped';

Or, via .env to apply globally:

TABLE_CLASS="table-hover table-striped"

$thead_class

Sets the CSS class names to use on the <thead>. Defaults to thead-light.

Example:

public $thead_class = 'thead-dark';

Or, via .env to apply globally:

TABLE_THEAD_CLASS="thead-dark"

$header_view

Sets a custom view to use for the table header (displayed next to the search).

Example:

public $header_view = 'users.table-header';

Protip: any view you reference in your table component can use Livewire actions, triggers, etc!

{{-- resources/views/users/table-header.blade.php --}}
<button class="btn btn-primary" wire:click="createUser">Create User</button>

$footer_view

Sets a custom view to use for the table footer (displayed next to the pagination).

Example:

public $footer_view = 'users.table-footer';

$checkbox

Boolean for if the table should use checkboxes or not. Defaults to true.

Example:

public $checkbox = false;

Or, via .env to apply globally:

TABLE_CHECKBOX=false

$checkbox_side

The side of the table to place checkboxes on. Accepts left or right. Defaults to right.

Example:

public $checkbox_side = 'left';

Or, via .env to apply globally:

TABLE_CHECKBOX_SIDE="left"

$checkbox_attribute

Sets the attribute name to use for $checkbox_values. Defaults to id. I recommend keeping this as id.

Example:

public $checkbox_attribute = 'id';

$checkbox_values

Contains an array of checked values. For example, if $checkbox_attribute is set to id, this will contain an array of checked model ids. Then you can use those ids to do whatever you want in your component. For example, a deleteChecked button inside a custom $header_view.

Example deleteChecked button:

<button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="confirm('Are you sure?') || event.stopImmediatePropagation();" wire:click="deleteChecked">
    Delete Checked
</button>

Example deleteChecked method:

public function deleteChecked()
{
    Car::whereIn('id', $this->checkbox_values)->delete();
}

$sort_attribute

Sets the default attribute to sort by. Defaults to id. This also works with counts and relationships.

Example:

public $sort_attribute = 'created_at';

Count example (if you added ->withCount('relations') to the query() method):

public $sort_attribute = 'relations_count';

Relationship example (if you added ->with('relation') to the query() method):

public $sort_attribute = 'relation.name';

Notice the use of the dot notation. You use this when declaring column relationship attributes as well.

$sort_direction

Sets the default direction to sort by. Accepts asc or desc. Defaults to desc.

Example:

public $sort_direction = 'asc';

$per_page

Sets the amount of results to display per page. Defaults to 15.

Example:

public $per_page = 25;

Or, via .env to apply globally:

TABLE_PER_PAGE=25

Table Component Methods

query()

This method returns an Eloquent model query to be used by the table.

Example:

public function query()
{
    return Car::with('brand')->withCount('accidents');
}

columns()

This method returns an array of Columns to use in the table.

Example:

public function columns()
{
    return [
        Column::make('ID')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('Brand Name', 'brand.name')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('Name')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('Color')->searchable()->sortable()->view('cars.table-color'),
        Column::make('Accidents', 'accidents_count')->sortable(),
        Column::make()->view('cars.table-actions'),
    ];
}

Declaring Columns is similar to declaring Laravel Nova fields. Jump to the column declaration section to learn more.

thClass($attribute)

This method is used to compute the <th> CSS class for the table header.

$attribute

The column attribute.

Example:

public function thClass($attribute)
{
    if ($attribute == 'name') return 'font-italic';
    if ($attribute == 'accidents_count') return 'text-right';
    if ($attribute == 'brand.name') return 'font-weight-bold';

    return null;
}

trClass($model)

This method is used to compute the <tr> CSS class for the table row.

$model

The model instance for the table row.

Example:

public function trClass($model)
{
    if ($model->name == 'Silverado') return 'table-secondary';
    if ($model->accidents_count > 8) return 'table-danger';
    if ($model->brand->name == 'Ford') return 'table-primary';

    return null;
}

tdClass($attribute, $value)

This method is used to compute the <td> CSS class for the table data.

$attribute

The column attribute.

$value

The column value.

Example:

public function tdClass($attribute, $value)
{
    if ($attribute == 'name' && $value == 'Silverado') return 'table-secondary';
    if ($attribute == 'accidents_count' && $value < 2) return 'table-success';
    if ($attribute == 'brand.name' && $value == 'Ford') return 'table-primary';

    return null;
}

mount()

This method sets the initial table properties. If you have to override it, be sure to call $this->setTableProperties().

Example:

public function mount()
{
    $this->setTableProperties();

    // my custom code
}

render()

This method renders the table component view. If you have to override it, be sure to return $this->tableView().

Example:

public function render()
{
    // my custom code

    return $this->tableView();
}

Table Column Declaration

The Column class is used to declare your table columns.

public function columns()
{
    return [
        Column::make('ID')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('Created At')->searchable()->sortable(),
        Column::make('Updated At')->searchable()->sortable(),
    ];
}

make($heading = null, $attribute = null)

$heading

The heading to use for the table column, e.g. Created At. Can be null for view-only columns.

$attribute

The attribute to use for the table column value. If null, it will use a snake cased $heading.

You can also specify _counts and relationship attributes with a dot notation.

For counts, let's say I added withCount() to my query():

public function query()
{
    return Car::withCount('accidents');
}

Now I can create a column using this count like so:

Column::make('Accidents', 'accidents_count')->sortable(),

For relationships, let's say I added with() to my query():

public function query()
{
    return Car::with('brand');
}

Now I can create a column using any of the relationship attributes like so:

Column::make('Brand ID', 'brand.id')->searchable()->sortable(),
Column::make('Brand Name', 'brand.name')->searchable()->sortable(),

searchable()

Sets the column to be searchable.

sortable()

Sets the column to be sortable.

sortUsing($callback)

Allows custom logic to be used for sorting. Your supplied callable will receive the following parameters:

• $models: The current Eloquent query (\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder). You should apply your sort logic to this query, and return it.
• $sort_attribute: The name of the column currently being sorted. If you used a nested relationship for sorting, it will be properly transformed to relationship_table.column_name format so the query will be scoped correctly.
• $sort_direction: The direction sort direction requested, either asc, or desc.

Additionally, your callback will be passed through Laravel's Container so you may inject any dependencies you need in your callback. Make sure your dependencies are listed before the parameters above.

Example:

Column::make('Paint Color')->searchable()->sortable()->sortUsing(function ($models, $sort_attribute, $sort_direction) {
    return $models->orderByRaw('?->\'$.color_code\' ?', [$sort_attribute, $sort_direction]);
});

This will sort the paint_color column using the JSON value color_code.

SQL Injection warning: Make sure if you are using any of Eloquent's *Raw methods, you always use the bindings feature.

view($view)

Sets a custom view to use for the column.

Example:

Column::make('Paint Color')->searchable()->sortable()->view('cars.table-paint-color'),

Notice how the column is still searchable() and sortable(), because the Car model contains a paint_color attribute!

If you're making a view-only column (for action buttons, etc), just don't make it searchable or sortable:

Column::make()->view('cars.table-actions'),

Custom column views are passed $model and $column objects, as well as variables passed from the table component.

For the Paint Color example, we can use the paint_color attribute from the model like so:

{{-- resources/views/cars/table-paint-color.blade.php --}}
<i class="fa fa-circle" style="color: {{ $model->paint_color }};"></i>

For the action buttons example, we can use the id attribute from the model like so:

{{-- resources/views/cars/table-actions.blade.php --}}
<button class="btn btn-primary" wire:click="showCar({{ $model->id }})">Show</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" wire:click="editCar({{ $model->id }})">Edit</button>

Using a custom view for a relationship column? No problem:

{{-- resources/views/cars/table-brand-name.blade.php --}}
{{ $model->brand->name }}
