How to get a vuetify data table to span the entire width of a container when it is inside a card?

Question

I have a Vuetify data table that is nested inside a v-card so that I can enable an inline search on the data table, but this is causing it to shrink down and only take up a small amount of the overall container whereas it was filling the entire container when not nested in the v-card.

I have reproduced a minimal example of this on codepen at https://codepen.io/bigtunacan/project/editor/XGRpVL

The main area of concern though is here.

      <v-list-tile @click="">
        <v-list-tile-action>
          <v-icon>dashboard</v-icon>
        </v-list-tile-action>
        <v-list-tile-content>
          <v-list-tile-title>Dashboard</v-list-tile-title>
        </v-list-tile-content>
      </v-list-tile>

      <v-list-tile @click="">
        <v-list-tile-action>
          <v-icon>settings</v-icon>
        </v-list-tile-action>
        <v-list-tile-content>
          <v-list-tile-title>Settings</v-list-tile-title>
        </v-list-tile-content>
      </v-list-tile>

    </v-list>
  </v-navigation-drawer>

  <v-toolbar app fixed clipped-left>
    <v-toolbar-side-icon @click.stop="drawer = !drawer"></v-toolbar-side-icon>
    <v-toolbar-title>Candy Bars</v-toolbar-title>
  </v-toolbar>

  <v-content>
    <v-container fluid fill-height>

    <template>
      <v-card>
        <v-card-title>
          Routes
          <v-spacer></v-spacer>
          <v-text-field append-icon="search" label="Search" single-line hide-details v-model="search"></v-text-field>
        </v-card-title>
        <v-data-table v-bind:headers="headers" :items="routes" :search="search" hide-actions class="elevation-1">
          <template slot="items" slot-scope="props">
            <td><router-link :to="{ name: 'route', params: {id: props.item.id}}">{{ props.item.name }}</router-link></td>
            <td>{{ props.item.agency }}</td>
          </template>
        </v-data-table>
      </v-card>
    </template>

    </v-container>
  </v-content>

  <v-footer app fixed>
    <span>&copy; 2017</span>
  </v-footer>

</v-app>    

Answer 1

Instead of the <template>, wrap the card in a <v-layout child-flex> like so:

...
<v-content>
  <v-container fluid fill-height>

    <v-layout child-flex>
      <v-card>
        <v-card-title>
          ...

child-flex is a class that gives its children (in this case just the card) the css rule flex: 1 1 auto, making them grow to fill available space.
