How do I make a striped v-data-table in Vuetify?

Question

I have a table

<v-data-table
  :headers="headers"
  :items="bookings"
  class="elevation-1"
  :search="search"
>
  <template slot="items" slot-scope="props">
    <td>{{ props.item.date }}</td>
    <td>{{ props.item.time }}</td>
    <td>{{ props.item.vehicle }}</td>
  </template>
</v-data-table>

Made in Vuetify, It works all fine, I just need to make alternate rows into different colors. Or the give the bootstrap .table-striped class to the table.

Answer 1

You could achieve that by using the following CSS rule :

tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
   background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .05);
 }

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data() {
    return {
      headers: [{
          text: 'Dessert (100g serving)',
          align: 'left',
          sortable: false,
          value: 'name'
        },
        {
          text: 'Calories',
          value: 'calories'
        },
        {
          text: 'Fat (g)',
          value: 'fat'
        },
        {
          text: 'Carbs (g)',
          value: 'carbs'
        },
        {
          text: 'Protein (g)',
          value: 'protein'
        },
        {
          text: 'Iron (%)',
          value: 'iron'
        }
      ],
      desserts: [{
          name: 'Frozen Yogurt',
          calories: 159,
          fat: 6.0,
          carbs: 24,
          protein: 4.0,
          iron: '1%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Ice cream sandwich',
          calories: 237,
          fat: 9.0,
          carbs: 37,
          protein: 4.3,
          iron: '1%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Eclair',
          calories: 262,
          fat: 16.0,
          carbs: 23,

          iron: '7%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Cupcake',
          calories: 305,
          fat: 3.7,
          carbs: 67,
          protein: 4.3,
          iron: '8%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Gingerbread',
          calories: 356,
          fat: 16.0,
          carbs: 49,
          protein: 3.9,
          iron: '16%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Jelly bean',
          calories: 375,
          fat: 0.0,

        },
        {
          name: 'Lollipop',
          calories: 392,
          fat: 0.2,
          carbs: 98,
          protein: 0,
          iron: '2%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Honeycomb',
          calories: 408,
          fat: 3.2,
          carbs: 87,
          protein: 6.5,
          iron: '45%'
        },
        {
          name: 'Donut',
          calories: 452,
          fat: 25.0,
          carbs: 51,
          protein: 4.9,
          iron: '22%'
        },
        {

          calories: 518,
          fat: 26.0,
          carbs: 65,
          protein: 7,
          iron: '6%'
        }
      ]
    }
  }
})

tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .05);
}

Answer 2

Expanding Boussadjra Brahim's answer. Here is some css for styling the header and footer globally

<style>
  tbody tr:nth-of-type(even) {
    background-color: rgba(236, 237, 237);
  }

  tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
    background-color: rgb(250 ,250, 250);
  }

  .v-data-table-header {
    background-color: rgba(182, 183, 187);
    color: white;
  }

  .v-data-footer {
    background-color: rgb(250 ,250, 250);
  }

  .theme--light.v-data-table thead tr th {
    color: white;
  }
</style>

Answer 3

To achieve the stripes for both dark and light theme I do this:

<style>
.theme--light.v-data-table tbody tr:nth-of-type(even) {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .03);
}
.theme--dark.v-data-table tbody tr:nth-of-type(even) {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
</style>

Answer 4

I had some trouble with this if you have a table which is expandable. This is because following the example at vuetify documentation, the resulting table will make one row also for the expanding content, which is hidden I think.

Anyhu this is the style I ended up with:

tr:nth-of-type(4n+3) {
 background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .05);
}

Every forth row, with a offset of 3, so you dont include the header.

Answer 5

In v-data-table class="elevation-1" I changed class property to class="table-striped elevation-1" and it works fine to me.

Answer 6

I use material design color for the background like this css style:

<style>
tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
    /* 'teal lighten-5' basides on material design color */
    background-color: #E0F2F1;
}

tbody tr:nth-of-type(even) {
    /* 'deep-orange lighten-5' basides on material design color */
    background-color: #FBE9E7;
}
</style>
