Hi all, I’m trying to maintain a consistent UI by using the standard Core Components <.table> generated by Phoenix (with DaisyUI styling), but I also want to integrate Flop sorting into the headers. At the same time, I’m using LiveView streams (phx-update=“stream”) to update only the table body.
Requirements:
1. Use Flop for sorting, so each header becomes clickable and triggers /admin/users?order_by=email&…
2. Keep the Core Components <.table>, without rewriting the whole table manually.
3. Keep using LiveView streams for the rows so updates are efficient and smooth.

I’ve tried:
• Using <Flop.Phoenix.sort_link> inside label={…}, but that doesn’t work because label expects a string.
• Adding slots like <:label>, but <.table> doesn’t support that.
• Using Flop.Phoenix.table, which supports sorting but does not support phx-update=“stream”, so it doesn’t play nicely with the Core Components setup.

⸻

Question:
Has anyone found a clean way to integrate Flop sorting into the Core Components <.table> while still leveraging LiveView streams for the table body—without having to rebuild the table manually?

If you’ve come across a pattern or a component wrapper that does exactly this, I’d love to see it!

Thanks in advance.

Flop.Phoenix.table supports streams, there’s an example in the readme: LiveView streams. phx-update="stream" is set automatically when a stream is passed to the component. The implementation is very close to the table implementation from CoreComponents.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, and congratulations on the amazing work you’ve done with this library — it’s a great piece of work!

I’ll definitely give this approach a try with Flop.Phoenix.table and streams. My original question was more about whether there’s a way to somehow inject the sorting into the original Core Components <.table> component, but I’ll try your solution anyway.

One extra question: do you see any drawbacks in replacing <.table> with Flop.Phoenix.table> entirely in a project that uses Core Components everywhere?

Thanks again!

I’m using the Flop table for most use cases throughout all projects I’m working on. I still have a simple_table component in CoreComponents for cases where I don’t need pagination, filtering, or sorting. Both components are interchangeable, with the exception of the required Flop.Meta struct.
