Dashboard 2 table

General
1

I try to understand how to work with the dashboard 2 table node, but it is acting strange :frowning:
I added a simple array as in examples online to it, and you can scroll them line by line, what is not very usefull. But if I set the Max Rows by example to 5 I see no data anymore.

This sounds so stupid, adn should be so simple :frowning:
Thanks for any help on this.

Best regards

That sounds like this issue. Table Node format issue · Issue #1732 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub

There is a workaround there, or set the table to auto size.

Thank Colin, it works now.
One other question, is it best practice using the table node or is it better to use the v-table? Or are there other, better alternatives?

I want to build some simple data tables, would prefer to be able to color some rows depending on the value and if possible have some hyperlinks in them (open another table in node red).

There is no best practice. If the table widget works for you then use that, if not then you may need to use an alternative.

You can consider using the @omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator table node.It is stable and feature-rich.

Thank you Omrid.

I tried the node with the standard input, but no table is showing. I looked around in the help and with my friend google, but didn't find anything to help me. Also, only examples with fixed data and not with data from the payload.
