Topic: Does anyone know how to table with an accordion
Spencer LeBlanc free asked 5 years ago
Expected behavior I know how there's an example for a table within collapsable mdb accordion tabs, I am just wondering for a table created using mdb table how someone would go about doing the inverse of it from the advanced examples. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/advanced/accordion/ Every time I try nesting an accordion with a table where the heads of the accordion are the row of the tables with table body, everytime the css freaks out shrinks the table row
Actual behavior Every time I try nesting an accordion with a table, where the heads of the accordion are the row of the tables in table body, the css freaks out shrinks the table row under half the table width and creates a lot of whitespace. I can't find what could be resetting width in inspect element so if anyone has any knowledge of explaining it with tags Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
<div class="form-details">
<input type="number" class="form-control" placeholder="Job-code" name="jobid" [(ngModel)]="userModel.id">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Title" name="jobtit" [(ngModel)]="userModel.title">
<input type="date" class="form-control" placeholder="Date" name="date" [(ngModel)]="userModel.date">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Location" name="loc" [(ngModel)]="userModel.loc">
<select placeholder="Status" name="status" [(ngModel)]="userModel.status">
<option value="open">Open</option>
<option value="closed">Closed</option>
</select>
<input type="number" class="form-control" placeholder="# of Openings" name="opens" [(ngModel)]="userModel.opens">
<select placeholder="Employment Duration" name="duration" [(ngModel)]="userModel.dur">

Dear @Spencer LeBlanc
For now, you cannot nest an accordion in a table row.
We'll think about implementing it in the future.
Until then - you could try something like below
HTML:
<table mdbTable>
<thead class="black white-text">
<tr>
<th *ngFor="let head of headElements" scope="col">{{ head }}</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody *ngFor="let el of elements">
<tr style="cursor:pointer;" (click)="el.collapse = !el.collapse">
<td>
{{ el.id }}
</td>
<td>
{{ el.first }}
</td>
<td>
{{ el.last }}
</td>
</tr>
<tr *ngIf="el.collapse">
<td [attr.colspan]="3" style="text-align:center;background-color:green">Your Description</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
TS:
elements: any = [
{ id: 1, first: 'Mark', last: 'Otto', collapse: false },
{ id: 2, first: 'Jacob', last: 'Thornton', collapse: false },
{ id: 3, first: 'Larry', last: 'the Bird', collapse: false },
];
headElements = ['ID', 'First', 'Last'];
Best Regards, Bartosz.

Hey all, was support for accordions within tables ever added?
Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago
@siwebdev We don't support such a use case but you can find custom example with collapsible rows in our documentation: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/tables/datatables/#e-master-detail-table (you need to switch to the examples & customization tab at the top of the page)
