Table
Tables are useful to view large lists of data. To drill down into the data of a single row, the selected row property of a table can be used. Simply create UI that represents a row of a table and bind each widget to the selected row of the table. This code snippet illustrates binding an image column of the selected row to an Image widget.
{{ Table1.selectedRow.imageUrl }}
Internal Property | Description |
selectedRow | Contains the data of the row selected by the user. Will be undefined if no row is selected |
pageNo | Contains the current page number that the user is on. Can be used by APIs for pagination |
selectedRows | Contains an array of rows selected by the user when multi-select is enabled |
pageSize | Contains the number of rows that can fit inside a page of the table. Changes along with the height & row height of the table |
searchText | Contains the search text entered by the user in the Table |
Widget Property | Description |
Table Data | This property lets you edit the data in the table. You can either write an array of objects to display as table rows or you can bind data from an API using the mustache syntax |
Columns | Auto populated from the Table data. This lets you edit the label, show/hide each column (the eye icon) and also customize the column settings​ |
Server Side Pagination | Enables you to implement pagination by limiting the number of results fetched per API / Query request. Use this property when your table data is being bound to an API / Query. |
Visible | Controls widget's visibility on the page. When turned off, the widget will not be visible when the app is published |
Default Search Text | Sets the default search text of the table |
Enable multi-row selection | Allows multiple rows of a table to be selected. The rows are populated in the selectedRows field |
Action | Description |
onRowSelected | Sets the action to be run when the user selects a row. See a list of supported actions​ |
onPageChange | Sets the action to be run when the table's page changes. See a list of supported actions​ |
onSearchTextChange | Sets the action to be run when the user enters a search text. See a list of supported actions​ |
Each column can now be customized through a set of properties.
You now have a Column type which allows you to perform different actions on each column.
A great property introduced here is the Computed value and the currentRow internal property. This allows you the manipulate the value using JS expressions; ex you want to show the datetime stamp in the carbon format (human readable), You can now do that by just using the js/lodash function. You can now also access each row's column values with currentRow property. This can be helpful if you wish to merge multiple value/properties under a single column.
In the ex. above we rename email column to contact and then use the computed value attribute inside the column setting to merge userName and email in one column. We later hide the userName column.
Depending on the column type you have some control over styling as well now.
Additionally compared to the functionality before the actions can now be set on every column with customization over style and click events

Computed Value | internal property |
Styles | Based on the Column Type, there are various style properties available to change the look and feel of each column |
Original/Display Date format | In case of type |
