Nodered table on bootstrap

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create an editable table using Uibuilder and Bootstrap.
I've added a sample sqlite table from nodered using axios.get. I needed to make the table editable by adding links to the cells, showing forms to edit the table contents and create new row using the add new button. I'm also attaching my code. Thanks

Can anyone please guide me with this?
Thank you

What is this? That isn't bootstrap-vue. Instructions for b-table are here: Table | Components | BootstrapVue (bootstrap-vue.org)

You can use cell templates to replace the normal cell formatting with an input field and you can create a custom column with control buttons for add/delete/edit of each row. Depends on how you want to do things.

There are also additional modules that will enable editable tables. An internet search will show several options. bootstrap vue editable table - Google Search

There is a bootstrap-vue forum as well so you might want to look there for bootstrap-vue help. Can I make an editable table on Bootstrap-Vue? - Get Help - Vue Forum (vuejs.org)

I tried getting the values from the table with this. couldn't get it to work.
{% for items in items %}

creating a link from the cell of the table is not actually working, its going into "localhost:1880/(cell value)" instead of actually going into the cell value. Getting through that slowly.

creating a form was another task i'm havng trouble with, cause i ned the form to be prefilled with the row data to change it and sending it back to Node-RED.
@TotallyInformation can you plz guide me in how do get those link woking and the forms?

Well it wouldn't, it isn't valid VueJS code. I shared the link to the bootstrap-vue documentation for b-table.

You should get things working on a simple page first. Introducing a router adds complexity. This WIKI page has some info on using Vue Router (Vue v2).

Not sure what you mean by "going into the cell value"?

Not really, I've not really used bootstrap-vue for a while except to update uibuilder's examples. But here are some snippets from an old heating dashboard that I no longer use. For help with bootstrap-vue, I recommend their forum.
