object-table

Overview
object-table displays data from objects retrieved from a database query or array in a table format.
Version compatibility
object-table v3 was introduced in version 4.43.0 of the JourneyApps Container.
For older container versions, see the documentation for the deprecated object-table v1 and object-table v2.
Check out the Showcase: Object Tables template app. It includes implementations of the most common object-table functionality and features.
Object tables V3
These docs describe Object tables v3. To enable these object tables for an existing app (v3 is the default for new apps), enable the Object tables v3 setting in OXIDE (under App Settings).
Basic Example
main.view.xml
<var name="users" type="query:user" />
​
<object-table label="Users" query="users">
    <column heading="First Name">{first_name}</column>
    <column heading="Last Name">{last_name}</column>
</object-table>
main.js
function init() {
    view.users = DB.user.all();
}
Standard Attributes
label
label
query
Required
Default: unset
query contains the name of the database query or array variable to populate the objects in the object-table.
main.view.xml
<var name="countries" type="query:country" />
<!-- OR -->
<var name="countries" type="array:country" />
​
<object-table label="Countries" query="countries">
    <column heading="Country Name">{name}</column>
    <column heading="Population">{population}</column>
</object-table>
Advanced Attributes
align-label
align-label
automatic
Optional
Type: boolean
Default: true
A object-table with the automatic="false" attribute it will automatically go into controlled mode. See the controlled object-table guide for more information.
bind
An object-table with a bind attribute implemented allows for a row to be 'selected'. The row is then also visually highlighted in the table.
When the bound variable changes, a digest cycle is run. It is therefore safe to rely on this variable to represent the selected state of the table at all times.
It is also possible to change the bound variable programmatically in the view code, which will cause the object-table to update the row. When this happens, a digest cycle is not run since the change originates from the view code.
bind

Default: bottom
These include a search box and pagination controls for users to interact with the table and data. See more information in the guide on object-table controls.
