Deleting the selected row on data table Vuetify

Question

I am using a data-table in vuetify. I am using v-checkbox. I want to delete the selected item from v-checkbox using a button click. I have delete button at the bottom of the data table. So when a user clicks at the delete button the selected row in the data table should be deleted. Any ideas how to do it?

<script>

Answer 1

If the Data table is bound to a store's array of objects :

---

We can also use map to get the index of the object in a store array and remove it using:

Mutation

REMOVE_OBJECT_FROM_ARRAY: (state, payload) => { let i = state.someArrayofObjects.map(item => item.id).indexOf(payload.id); state.someArrayofObjects.splice(i, 1); }

Here, the id is the id passed with the payload to the MUTATION, we can also pass only the id as the whole payload. In that case, we can do something like:

REMOVE_OBJECT_FROM_ARRAY: (state, payload) => { let i = state.someArrayofObjects.map(item => item.id).indexOf(payload); state.someArrayofObjects.splice(i, 1); }

Answer 3

I had a similar issue yesterday but with jquery. Now with vuejs, it is actually simpler I guess with model binding so that all the selected rows will be pushed to a data property. Then on clicking delete, loop through all the selected id's or keys and remove them from your store or by calling a backend api or your data property like you've done here E.g.

data: () => ({
    selected: [],
    projects: {/*...content in here */},
});

methods: {

   delete() {
       this.selected.forEach(function(project) { // project here is just the index of the selected in the projects array
           projects.splice(project, 1);
      });

      this.selected = []; // don't forget to empty selected
   }
}

Answer 4

deleteProject(item_name){
    this.projects.splice(this.projects.findIndex(e=> e.name == item_name),1)
}

// JS splice method for remove items from an array.
// JS findIndex method for find the index of the element which you want to delete.
