Transfer

Basic usage

Data is passed to Transfer via the data attribute. The data needs to be an object array, and each object should have these attributes: key being the identification of the data item, label being the displayed text, and disabled indicating if the data item is disabled. Items inside the target list are in sync with the variable binding to v-model, and the value of that variable is an array of target item keys. So, if you don't want the target list be initially empty, you can initialize the v-model with an array.

Filterable

You can search and filter data items.

Set the filterable attribute to true to enable filter mode. By default, if the data item label contains the search keyword, it will be included in the search result. Also, you can implement you own filter method with the filter-method attribute. It takes a method and passes search keyword and each data item to it whenever the keyword changes. For a certain data item, if the method returns true, it will be included in the result list.

Customizable

You can customize list titles, button texts, render function for data items, checking status texts in list footer and list footer contents.

Use titles, button-texts, render-content and format to respectively customize list titles, button texts, render function for data items, checking status texts in list header. Plus, you can also use scoped slot to customize data items. For list footer contents, two named slots are provided: left-footer and right-footer. Plus, if you want some items initially checked, you can use left-default-checked and right-default-checked. Finally, this example demonstrate the change event. Note that this demo can't run in JSFiddle because it doesn't support JSX syntax. In a real project, render-content will work if relevant dependencies are correctly configured.

Custom empty content 2.9.0

You can customize the content when the list is empty or when no filtering results are found.

Use left-empty and right-empty slots to customize the empty content for each panel.

Prop aliases

By default, Transfer looks for key, label and disabled in a data item. If your data items have different key names, you can use the props attribute to define aliases.

The data items in this example do not have keys or labels, instead they have values and descs. So you need to set aliases for key and label.
