Mode
Developers can use
mode="scroll" to allow a table to scroll vertically. The height of the table is computed as the standard row height multiplied by the table limit. The default limit is 10 and by default 10 rows are shown.<object-table mode="scroll" limit="5">
...
</object-table>
Notice that in a scrollable table, the header along with the horizontal scroll bar is always visible if the table has these elements. The horizontal scroll bar is only present if the table content is wider than than the screen.
A table with frozen columns can also be scrollable.
An
object-table is paginated by default. In mode="paginate", the table will use the limit attribute to determine how many rows to display on a single page. The table then computes how many pages there will be based on the total amount of rows available from the query attribute.In combination with the
controls attribute, the position of the page controls (top, bottom or both) can be set. See controls for more information on how to set this up.If a table displays large amounts of data (more than 10 000 rows), then you will benefit from using a controlled table.
Like all fields in
object-table, the mode attribute can be set dynamically. Developers can use this to their benefit to scale up tables when large amounts of data is collected over the course of time. Set the mode dynamically to scroll when there are small amounts of data, and change it to paginate as data volumes start to scale up.<object-table mode="$:computeMode()" limit="10">
...
</object-table>
function computeMode(){
if(DB.users.count() > 500){
return 'paginate';
}
return 'scroll';
}
