Vue Data Grid Toolbar

The toolbar prop adds a built-in chrome row above the grid with a column chooser, a CSV export button, Undo/Redo buttons (with history) and a global search input. Each action drives an existing feature, so the toolbar is the ready-made UI you would otherwise build with the toolbar slot.

<template>
  <CDataGrid
    :columns="columns"
    :items="items"
    :column-visibility="true"
    :toolbar="true"
  />
</template>

toolbar set to true enables each action whose underlying feature is on: columns needs columnVisibility, export is always available, undo/redo needs history, and search turns on the global filter. Pass a granular object to pick actions individually — search: true is the same input as globalFilter, so keep using whichever reads better.

<template>
  <CDataGrid
    :columns="columns"
    :items="items"
    :column-visibility="true"
    :toolbar="{
      columns: true,
      export: { filename: 'users.csv' },
      history: true,
      search: true
    }"
  />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { CDataGrid } from '@coreui/vue-data-grid'

const roles = ['admin', 'editor', 'viewer']

const items = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => ({
  id: i + 1,
  name: `User ${i + 1}`,
  email: `user${i + 1}@example.com`,
  role: roles[i % roles.length]
}))

const columns = [
  { key: 'id', label: '#', width: 90, hideable: false },
  { key: 'name', label: 'Name' },
  { key: 'email', label: 'Email', style: { width: '30%' } },
  { key: 'role', label: 'Role', width: 110 }
]
</script>

<template>
  <CDataGrid
    :columns="columns"
    :items="items"
    :item-key="(item) => String(item.id)"
    :column-visibility="true"
    :pagination="{ pageSize: 10 }"
    :toolbar="{
      columns: true,
      export: { filename: 'users.csv' },
      search: true
    }"
  />
</template>

Column chooser

With toolbar.columns enabled the columns button opens a popup listing every leaf column in visual order with a checkbox. Toggling a checkbox calls column.toggleVisibility() live — there is no Apply step. Columns marked hideable: false stay checked and disabled. The footer offers Show all and Reset (Reset restores the initial columnVisibility object). Visibility changes emit visibility-change just like the column menu.

Export

The export button downloads the current view as CSV by calling downloadCsv({ scope: 'filtered' }). Pass a CsvDownloadOptions object as toolbar.export to set filename, delimiter, bom, sanitize or scope.

Icons

The toolbar buttons use the CoreUI icon set, overridable per-instance with the toolbarColumnsIcon, toolbarExportIcon, toolbarUndoIcon and toolbarRedoIcon props (a VNode or a render function, like every other icon prop).

Custom toolbar

The toolbar slot still replaces the whole toolbar; the built-in buttons are not composable into a custom slot. For a fully custom toolbar — including a hand-built column chooser — use the toolbar slot with the headless table and public helpers (downloadCsv, column.toggleVisibility). See the column ordering & visibility page for a slot-based chooser.
