## 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
```
:::
### Striped Table
Striped table makes it easier to distinguish different rows.
:::demo Attribute `stripe` accepts a `Boolean`. If `true`, table will be striped.
```html
```
:::
### Table with border
:::demo By default, Table has no vertical border. If you need it, you can set attribute `border` to `true`.
```html
```
:::
### 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
```
:::
### 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
```
:::
### 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.

```
:::
### Table with fixed columns and header
When you have huge chunks of data to put in a table, you can fix the header and columns at the same time.
:::demo Fix columns and header at the same time by combining the above two examples.
```html
```
:::
### 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 `maxHeight` of `el-table`, you can fix the table header. The table body scrolls only if the height of the rows exceeds the maxHeight value.
```html
Remove
```
:::
### 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
```
:::
### Single select
Single row selection is supported.
:::demo Table supports single row selection. You can activate it by adding the `highlight-currnet-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
```
:::
### 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 `inline-template` and `show-overflow-tooltip`: when the attribute `inline-template` is set, you can use custom template inside `el-table-column`, and access current row data via `row`; 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
{{ row.date }}
```
:::
### 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`. 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
```
:::
### 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 two parameters: `value` and `row`.
```html
{{row.tag}}
```
:::
### Custom column template
Customize table column so it can be integrated with other components.
:::demo Activate custom column template by adding the `inline-template` attribute. By default, the context of `el-table-column` is the one where `el-table` lies, and you can customize it with the `context` attribute, e.g. `:context="_self"` refers to the current context. This is useful when sometimes Table is encapsulated into another component, and `table-column` is distributed by slots. In `el-column`, you have access to the following data: row, column, $index and store (state management of Table).
```html
{{ row.date }}
Name: {{ row.name }}
Addr: {{ row.address }}
{{ row.name }}
