How to show all items in Vuetify Data Table instead of 10 rows only?

Question

I'm using a data table from Vuetify:

<v-data-table
  :ref="`sortableTable${index}`"
  class="items-table-container"
  :headers="headers"
  :items="category.items"
  hide-default-footer>

    ...custom rows

</v-data-table>

I noticed that when adding a new item to the table, it wasn't appearing. I verified that the items I'm passing it have 11 items, however the table is only displaying 10 max.

When I looked at the wrapper surrounding the table, I noticed that it had:

overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;

however, I'm unable to override it for some reason. I've tried adding the height prop but nothing seems to work.

How can I give the table an auto height, so that it expands no matter how many rows are in the table?

This issue is happening because you have removed default footer using hide-default-footer, but the pagination is still enabled. Pagination is by default set to show only 10 items per row. You can easily fix this by simply adding disable-pagination options, which disables pagination completely and then you can see all items after 10th index also.

<v-data-table
  :ref="`sortableTable${index}`"
  class="items-table-container"
  :headers="headers"
  :items="category.items"
  hide-default-footer
  disable-pagination>

DEMO:

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  vuetify: new Vuetify(),
  data() {
    return {
      headers: [{text:"Dessert (100g serving)",align:"start",sortable:!1,value:"name"},{text:"Calories",value:"calories"},{text:"Fat (g)",value:"fat"},{text:"Carbs (g)",value:"carbs"},{text:"Protein (g)",value:"protein"},{text:"Iron (%)",value:"iron"}],
      desserts: headers=[{name:"Frozen Yogurt",calories:159,fat:6,carbs:24,protein:4,iron:"1%"},{name:"Ice cream sandwich",calories:237,fat:9,carbs:37,protein:4.3,iron:"1%"},{name:"Eclair",calories:262,fat:16,carbs:23,protein:6,iron:"7%"},{name:"Cupcake",calories:305,fat:3.7,carbs:67,protein:4.3,iron:"8%"},{name:"Gingerbread",calories:356,fat:16,carbs:49,protein:3.9,iron:"16%"},{name:"Jelly bean",calories:375,fat:0,carbs:94,protein:0,iron:"0%"},{name:"Lollipop",calories:392,fat:.2,carbs:98,protein:0,iron:"2%"},{name:"Honeycomb",calories:408,fat:3.2,carbs:87,protein:6.5,iron:"45%"},{name:"Donut",calories:452,fat:25,carbs:51,protein:4.9,iron:"22%"},{name:"KitKat",calories:518,fat:26,carbs:65,protein:7,iron:"6%"},{name:"Jelly bean",calories:375,fat:0,carbs:94,protein:0,iron:"0%"},{name:"Lollipop",calories:392,fat:.2,carbs:98,protein:0,iron:"2%"},
{name:"Ice cream sandwich",calories:237,fat:9,carbs:37,protein:4.3,iron:"1%"},{name:"Eclair",calories:262,fat:16,carbs:23,protein:6,iron:"7%"},{name:"Cupcake",calories:305,fat:3.7,carbs:67,protein:4.3,iron:"8%"},
{name:"Ice cream sandwich",calories:237,fat:9,carbs:37,protein:4.3,iron:"1%"},{name:"Eclair",calories:262,fat:16,carbs:23,protein:6,iron:"7%"},{name:"Cupcake",calories:305,fat:3.7,carbs:67,protein:4.3,iron:"8%"}],
    }
  },
})

The default item count per page is 10. use -1 instead of 10. add this line.

:items-per-page="-1"
