Vuetify How to open and close dialogs within a data table

Question

We've build an application for a staffing company where Admin can view Users in a Vuetify data table. In that table, we want to show User Notes, but they are sometimes long and don't fit well into a table cell. We would like to simply click a button and open the Notes in a dialog.

The problem is that if we have 200 users, and we click the button to open "dialogNotes", every user dialog opens. How can we adjust our code so that only the dialog for that user opens?

<template slot="items" slot-scope="props">
                <td>
                <v-checkbox
                  primary
                  hide-details
                  v-model="props.selected"
                ></v-checkbox>
              </td>
                <td>{{props.item.status}}</td>
                <td>
          <img v-if="props.item.photoUrl" :src="props.item.photoUrl" class="user-img">
          <img v-if="!props.item.photoUrl" src="/static/avatar.png" class="user-img">
        </td>
                <td>
                <router-link v-if="props.item.name" v-bind:to="'/staff/' + props.item.id">{{ props.item.name }}</router-link>
        <router-link v-if="!props.item.name" v-bind:to="'/staff/' + props.item.id">{{ props.item.id }}</router-link>
                </td>
                <td>
                <v-btn icon color="primary" small @click.stop="dialogNote = true"><v-icon small>open_in_new</v-icon></v-btn>
                    <v-dialog v-model="dialogNote" scrollable lazy max-width="500" :key="props.item.id">
                    <v-card>
                      <v-card-title>
                        <span>{{ props.item.name }} Note</span>
                      </v-card-title>
                      <v-card-text>
                        {{props.item.note}}
                      </v-card-text>
                      <v-card-actions>
                        <v-btn color="primary" flat @click.stop="dialogNote=false">Close</v-btn>
                      </v-card-actions>
                    </v-card>
                  </v-dialog>
                </td>
                <td>{{props.item.greek}}</td>
                <td>
                <span v-if="props.item.tipsUrl">Yes</span>
              </td>
                <td>{{props.item.waiver}}</td>
                <td>{{props.item.media}}</td>
              <td>{{ props.item.howHear }}</td>
            </template>

data:

dialogNote: false,

Answer 1

Turn dialogNote into an object and use the dialogNote[props.item.id] to tell if that item is open or not.

Declare it, in data, like:

dialogNote: {},

And use it like:

 <v-dialog v-model="dialogNote[props.item.id]" scrollable lazy max-width="500" :key="props.item.id">

And change the open/close buttons.

• Open:

  • From

    @click.stop="dialogNote = true"
    

  • To:

    @click.stop="$set(dialogNote, props.item.id, true)"
    

• Close:

  • From

    @click.stop="dialogNote = false"
    

  • To:

    @click.stop="$set(dialogNote, props.item.id, false)"

Your template:

<template slot="items" slot-scope="props">
<td>
  <v-checkbox primary hide-details v-model="props.selected"></v-checkbox>
</td>
<td>{{props.item.status}}</td>
<td>
  <img v-if="props.item.photoUrl" :src="props.item.photoUrl" class="user-img">
  <img v-if="!props.item.photoUrl" src="/static/avatar.png" class="user-img">
</td>
<td>
  <router-link v-if="props.item.name" v-bind:to="'/staff/' + props.item.id">{{ props.item.name }}</router-link>
  <router-link v-if="!props.item.name" v-bind:to="'/staff/' + props.item.id">{{ props.item.id }}</router-link>
</td>
<td>
  <v-btn icon color="primary" small @click.stop="$set(dialogNote, props.item.id, true)">
    <v-icon small>open_in_new</v-icon>
  </v-btn>
  <v-dialog v-model="dialogNote[props.item.id]" scrollable lazy max-width="500" :key="props.item.id">
