Should I use :columns in a q-table when using slots?

[wpq]

I use a q-table with

<template v-slot:body="props">

and then q-tr to build my columns.

Since everything is handled via q-tr, should I still have a :columns entry in q-table? I have a feeling that it is redundant in that case (?)

Yes because columns is used for the table header.

See this example:

Yes, I use body slots with :columns today. What I do not understand is why keeping the same information in both places. After all, I am building the table column after column anyway.

If this is a design solution then fine, I wanted to make sure that there is not a way to get rid of :columns and configure them in q-tr which I use anyway.

body slots

body slot != header slot

a table’s header uses a different set of html elements ( th thead / quasar components (q-th) then the body part of a table.

See:
https://quasar.dev/vue-components/table#QTh-API

A standard html table:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Month</th>
      <th>Savings</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>January</td>
      <td>$100</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>February</td>
      <td>$80</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <td>Sum</td>
      <td>$180</td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>
