.arrow {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    margin-left: 5px;
}

.arrow.asc {
    border-left: 4px solid transparent;

Examples

Basic table:

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData">
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Only display certain columns:

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData" :columns-to-display="gridColumns">
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridColumns: ['name', 'power'],
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Bind to search string:

<div id="demo">
  <form id="search">
    Search
    <input name="query" v-model="searchQuery">
  </form>
  <data-table :data="gridData" :filter-key="searchQuery">
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    searchQuery: '',
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Map display names of columns:

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData" :display-names="displayNames">
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
  displayNames: {
      'power': 'Super Powers'
    },
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Add a caption:

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData">
    <template slot="caption">This is my caption</template>
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Use template for a column (template name must match column name):

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData">
    <template slot="name" scope="props">
      <b>{{props.entry.name}}</b>
      <br />
      <button @click="showPower(props.entry.power)">
        Show Power
      </button>
    </template>
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  },
  methods: {
    showPower(power) {
      alert(power);
    }
  }
})

Add a child row, each section will be a tbody of 2 rows (data row, child row):

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData">
    <template slot="child" scope="props">
      This is my child row: {{props.entry.name}}
    </template>
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Add ability to toggle child row (double click to open/close):

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData" :child-hideable="true">
    <template slot="child" scope="props">
      This is my child row: {{props.entry.name}}
    </template>
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})

Add ability to toggle child row (double click main row to open, double click child to close) and default to children rows closed:

<div id="demo">
  <data-table :data="gridData" :child-hideable="true" :child-init-hide="true">
    <template slot="child" scope="props">
      This is my child row: {{props.entry.name}}
    </template>
  </data-table>
</div>

var demo = new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data: {
    gridData: [{
      name: 'Chuck Norris',
      power: Infinity
    }, {
      name: 'Bruce Lee',
      power: 9000
    }, {
      name: 'Jackie Chan',
      power: 7000
    }, {
      name: 'Jet Li',
      power: 8000
    }]
  }
})
