uiBuilder Vue Table - Change Row Format

Ok here is something , that I think should be fairly simple , that I cant get my head around.
I am building a MQTT device tracker with a web front end. Fairly strait forward , I keep track of regular incoming payload via MQTT and get notified it the incoming payload timeout.
I am using SQLite to track the topic's and then run a query to track the time received. All and it works quite well but as per ususal this was/is not enough.
I created a Vue Table through uiBuilder where I can edit / add topic's to be monitored but now I would like to highlight the row of the device that goes offline for easier identification , should I have missed the notification.
This is what the interface looks like

How do I achieve this? From my understanding I should use use computed properties but I just can get the hang of it.
Here is the .js code

/* jshint browser: true, esversion: 5, asi: true */
/*globals Vue, uibuilder */
// @ts-nocheck

any help / guidance will be much appreciated!

Hello .. there is an example on the bootstrap-vue website on how to style a table row ( link )

From what i see in your code in onChange app.items = msg.payload
you are receiving the whole table data with every change and re-drawing the table ? all good

so add the :tbody-tr-class="rowClass" prop to your table
add in methods() a method similar to their example

 rowClass(item, type) {
        if (!item || type !== 'row') return
        if (item.status === 'offline') return 'table-warning'
      }

the tricky part may be on Node-red side to modify the payload table data that you send to uibuilder to include an extra status field.

items: [
          { age: 40, first_name: 'Dickerson', last_name: 'Macdonald', status: 'offline' },

Yes, you need to pass something to the front-end to indicate whether the device is on or offline. Whether a flag, a status or at least the last update timestamp. Any of these could be used in the table to highlight things.

Ok I under stand but then if I use the status field it should work without the need to add a new paramater.
What I have tried was to commend out the status line

 fields: [
        { key: "id",        label: "ID"},
        { key: "date",      label: "Date Added" },
    //    { key: "updated",   label: "Last Update" },
        { key: "name",      label: "Name"},
        { key: "topic",     label: "Monitor Topic" },
        { key: "timeout",   label: "Time Out" ,sortable: true},
       // { key: "status",    label: "Status" },
        { key: "recieved",  label: "Last Trigger" },
        { key: 'edit',      label: ''}
      ],

and added the rowClass

methods: { 
 rowClass(item, type) {
        if (!item || type !== 'row') return
        if (item.status === 'offline') return 'table-warning'
      }, 
        handleEditRow(data) {

REST OF CODE

Thinking being that I don't need to see "Online" if the row changes color , but this does not change the row when I refresh the page.

true, you are right .. since you already have that field .. i should have paid more attention to your table fields

dont comment it out if you need that field to show up in the table

just try to change offline to Offline with capital O for the comparison === to work
if (item.status === 'Offline') return 'table-warning'

Apologies , it was the first thing that I tried but with no luck. It seems to be a simple solution but with no luck.

Got it!

Missed the part that I needed to add in the index.html file.

:tbody-tr-class="rowClass"

Thank you for the help!!

i was starting to think that the use of templates inside the b-table were overiding that prop ..
im glad that it worked ..

nice design by the way .. all the best :+1:
