# Editable Cells

Editable cells are currently supported only for the client table.

To ensure editable data is reflected on your original dataset you must use \`v-model\` instead of the \`data\` prop.

Each row in dataset must have a unique identifier. By default its key is set to \`id\`. Use the \`uniqueKey\` option if your dataset has a different identifier.

As always examples work best to illustrate the syntax:

Start by declaring the column(s) you wish to be editable using the \`editableColumns\` option:

```javascript
{
   editableColumns:['text','text2','checkbox']
}
```

Then use scoped slots to build the logic:

```markup
 <v-client-table :columns="client.columns" :options="client.options" v-model="client.data">
    // update text on the fly
    <input type="text" slot="text" slot-scope="{row, update}" v-model="row.text" @input="update">
    // update a checkbox
    <input type="checkbox" slot="checkbox" slot-scope="{row, update}" v-model="row.checkbox" @input="update">
    
    // update text on submit + toggle editable state + revert to original value on cancel
    <div slot="text2" slot-scope="{row, update, setEditing, isEditing, revertValue}">
     <span @click="setEditing(true)" v-if="!isEditing()">
         {{row.text2}}
     </span>
     <span v-else>
     <input type="text" v-model="row.text2">
        <button type="button" @click="update(row.text2); setEditing(false)">Submit</button>
        <button type="button" @click="revertValue(); setEditing(false)">Cancel</button>        
      </span>  
    </div>           
</v-client-table>
```

In addition to the \`input\` event which is responsible - in conjunction with \`v-model\` - for updating the dataset, an additional \`update\` event is triggered with the following payload:
&#x20;`{row, column, oldVal, newVal}`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://matanya.gitbook.io/vue-tables-2/client-table/editable-cells.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
