### Make VFlexTable yours with slots

The easiest way to create complex tables with `<VFlexTable />` is to uses slots.
This allow to use other components and having great control
inside rows (with `#body-cell` slot) and columns (with `#header-column` slot).
To update data dynamically, use `reactive` props so your interface will know
that data is updated, this is disabled by default to prevent
performance issues.  
Check the markup for more details about usage.

<!--code-->

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
const selectedRowsId = ref<number[]>([])
const editCompanyIndex = ref<number>()

const isAllSelected = computed(
  () => flexRowsContacts.length === selectedRowsId.value.length,
)

// this is our data
const data = [
  {
    id: 0,
    company: 'Grubspot',
    type: 'New Lead',
    industry: 'Software',
    status: 'Active',
    contacts: [
      {
        id: 0,
        picture: 'https://media.cssninja.io/content/avatars/25.jpg',
        initials: 'AC',
        color: 'info',
      },
      // and more contacts ..
    ],
  },
  // and more data ...
]

// this is the columns configuration
const columns = {
  select: {
    label: '',
    cellClass: 'is-flex-grow-0',
  },
  company: {
    label: 'Company',
    grow: true,
  },
  type: 'Type',
  industry: 'Industry',
  status: 'Status',
  contacts: {
    label: 'Contacts',
    align: 'end',
  },
}

// the select all checkbox click handler
function toggleSelection() {
  if (isAllSelected.value) {
    selectedRowsId.value = []
  }
  else {
    selectedRowsId.value = flexRowsContacts.map((_, index) => index)
  }
}
// this it the row click handler (enabled with clickable props)
function clickOnRow(row: any) {
  if (selectedRowsId.value.includes(row.id)) {
    selectedRowsId.value = selectedRowsId.value.filter(i => i !== row.id)
  }
  else {
    selectedRowsId.value = [...selectedRowsId.value, row.id]
  }
}

// this is the "Contact me" click handler
function contactUser(row: any) {
  alert(`Contacting "${row.company}" ...`)
}

// this is a local directive (it begins with V..., usable with v-focus)
// that is used to force the focus on input when mounted
const VFocus = {
  mounted(el: HTMLInputElement) {
    el.focus()
  },
}
