vue.js - Vuetify - How to highlight row on click in v-data-table

Question

How to highlight the selected row in v-data-table? i tried to modified the data by adding flag variable selected in the Example

In the above example click on a row will be highlighted by adding class called primary. If it is a static data it is working fine, but if it is dynamic data like getting data from API, the data in the data table will always be refreshed, if i change the pagination and sort and all.

For example, in my case, if i sort the column the data will come from the API and data in the v-data-table will be refreshed with sorted data, in this case it is very hard to maintain that selected flag each and every time when ever the data changes. Is there any other way to highlight a selected row?

Answer 1

<v-data-table @click:row="rowClick" item-key="name" single-select ...

methods: {
    rowClick: function (item, row) {      
      row.select(true);
      //item.name - selected id
    }
}

<style>
  tr.v-data-table__selected {
    background: #7d92f5 !important;
  }
</style>

or

<style scoped>
  /deep/ tr.v-data-table__selected {
    background: #7d92f5 !important;
  }
</style>
