Flex-table-card

How do I sort by date correctly?

type: custom:flex-table-card
sort_by: entries
entities:
  include: sensor.rss_feed_youtube*
columns:
  - name: Video
    data: entries
    modify: >-
      '<a href="' + x.link +'" target="_blank"><img src="' +
      x.media_thumbnail[0].url + '"style="width: 10%"></a>'
  - name: ''
    data: entries
    modify: x.published

Great, got some units, would be nice the were in the same column but this works for now. Going to try with templeate for the undefined.
A test with a space row ‘A—’, that’s a fake sensor, just figure out a temple that return spaces or maybe ‘-------’.
And the missing icons, I did select some in the GUI they were setup in customize or configuration before.
Thank’s for the tips.

Is there a way to do this? I have a sensor that has 2 attributes - team & events. I will have multiple sensors for each team as this is their schedule for the year. The Team has the team abbreviation in ‘team.abbreviation’. In this case ASU. It looks like this:

I will eventually send multiple sensors to this template but for right now just trying to get it to work. So Here is my card/whole dashboard setup:

views:
  - title: Testing 23
    path: testing-23
    cards:
      - type: custom:layout-card
        layout_type: custom:grid-layout
        layout:
          grid-template-columns: 30% 1fr
          grid-template-areas: |
            "left right"
        cards:
          - type: markdown
            content: Holding area for notes
            view_layout:
              grid-area: left
          - type: custom:decluttering-card
            template: ncaa_team_schedules
            variables:
              - title: Teams
              - entity: sensor.ncaaf_arizona_state_university_schedule
              - events: events
              - team: team

Working template looks like this but not what I want:

ncaa_team_schedules:
    card:
      type: custom:flex-table-card
      title: name
      css:
        table+: 'padding: 0px; width: 1200px;'
        tbody tr td:first-child: 'width: 5%;'
        tbody tr td:nth-child(2): 'width: 5%;'
        tbody tr td:nth-child(n+2): 'width: 5%;'
        tbody tr:hover: 'background-color: black!important; color:white!important;'
        tbody tr td:nth-child(5): 'background-color: mintcream; color: white;'
      card_mod:
        style:
          .: |
            ha-card {
              overflow: auto;
            }
          $: |
            .card-header {
              padding-top: 6px!important;
              padding-bottom: 4px!important;

              }
                            
              content = `<div style="display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;width:100%;height:100%;">` +
                content +

              content;
            } else {
              '';
            }
        - name: Home Team
          data: '[[events]]'
          modify: >-
            '<div><img src="' +
            x.competitions[0].competitors[0].team.logos[0].href + '"
            style="height: 20px;vertical-align:middle;">&nbsp;' +
            x.competitions[0].competitors[0].team.displayName + '</div>'
        - name: Attendance
          data: '[[events]]'
          modify: x.competitions[0].attendance

What I want is to put a W(in) or L(oss) next to the score in the Final Score column for that teams schedule - So ASU would have a W in rows, 1,2,4 and L in 3.

So my thought was to use something like this:

modify: |-
   if (x.competitions[0].competitors[0].winner === 'true' && '[[team]]'.abbreviation === x.competitions[0].competitors[0].team.abbreviation) {
     return '<div style="color:green;"><ha-icon>&nbsp; W </ha-icon></div>';
   } else {
     return '<div style="color:red;"><ha-icon>&nbsp; L </ha-icon></div>';
   }

Is that possible?

Thanks.

Can’t anyone help me? Sort by date!? :innocent: :smiling_face_with_tear: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
My Post !!!

Have you tried moving the date entry to the first column? As far as I know that is the only column automatically sorted. If you like the flow you have then create another 1st column with the date and then hide it.

columns:
  - name: ''
    data: entries
    modify: x.published
  - name: Video
    data: entries
    modify: >-
      '<a href="' + x.link +'" target="_blank"><img src="' +
      x.media_thumbnail[0].url + '"style="width: 10%"></a>'

Is this attribute really has a format “DD.MM.YY hh:mm” ?
Then it will not be properly sorted.
A possible way:

  1. Add one more HIDDEN column for this attribute.
  2. This column must contain “modify” - convert the value BACK to a “normal” timestamp format like “2024-09-30 21:41”.
  3. Set a fixed sort for this hidden column & disable sorting by a header.

Partly solved, got a nicer look, my oppinment, for sepatator and added some for ‘unknown’.
Did like this:

template:
    - name: A____
      unit_of_measurement: 'm/s'
      icon: mdi:arrow-right-bold-outline
      state: >
        {% if true %} -666 {% endif %}    
    - name: X____
      icon: mdi:arrow-right-bold-outline
      state: >
        {% if true %} ------  {% endif %}
        columns:  
          - name: ''
            data: icon
            align: center
          - name: Sensor
            data: friendly_name
            align: left
            modify: |-
                if (x == "A____")
                 '<div style="color:lightblue;">-------</div>'
                 else  x            
          - name: Value
            data: state
            align: left
            modify: |-
                if (x == "unknown")
                    '<div style="color:red;">------</div>'
                else if (x == -666)
                    '<div > </div>'
                 else  x
          - name: ' '
            data: unit_of_measurement
            align: left
            modify: |-
                if (x == "m/s")
                 '<div > </div>'
                 else  x

Any idea why ha_online comes like this

and not like this as - type: entities

Never did get a reply to my question (#disappointed), but I managed to solve it…

  1. The key was when I realised that it wasn’t possible to reference a secondary attribute (in this case color), so I pass the data in one field, separated by a delimiter, for example:
    sensor.hw_levels_0 color: 0/#00ff00/44.1

  2. I then used modify to parse the color data and temperature data, applying the hex color to the background-color attribute:

- type: custom:flex-table-card
    sort_by: sensor+
    title: Hot Water Levels
    entities:
      include:
        - sensor.hw_levels*
    columns:
      - name: Temp
        data: color
        align: center
        modify: >
          '<div style="font-weight: bold;color: white; background-color: ' +
          x.split("/")[1] + '">' + x.split("/")[2] + ' °C </div>'

Which gives the following type of output…

Thanks for the answer.
The first column gives a better result, but is still wrong:

type: custom:flex-table-card
sort_by: entries
entities:
  include: sensor.rss_feed*
columns:
  - name: ''
    data: entries
    modify: x.published
  - name: Video
    data: entries
    modify: >-
      '<a href="' + x.link +'" target="_blank"><img src="' +
      x.media_thumbnail[0].url + '"style="width: 10%"></a>'

flex-sort

First or second column - does not matter. Sorting is same. See a possible solution above.

I’m sorry I don’t see what’s wrong? That looks sorted to me by date correctly in the first column unless you want newest first then change your sort - https://github.com/custom-cards/flex-table-card/blob/0f0260f170660309906358254b8bb1ed7c301f63/docs/example-cfg-sorting-strict.md.

Or are you saying that the date is getting pulled incorrectly? If so that is not a flex-table problem.

1 post

the attribute is “published: 08.10.24 16:00”

Can you please describe it better?
I don’t quite understand what needs to be done.
Thank you very much!

You need to parse a value “DD.MM.YY hh:mm” and convert to a timestamp. Have no idea how it can be done in JS.

I am having an issue that I cannot figure out dealing with the Sports Standings that makes heavy use of flex table.

One field breaks the page with the following error:

This field is within a larger set of things, only showing a snippet here:

        - name: <div>HOME</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'HOME').displayValue
        - name: <div>AWAY</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'AWAY').displayValue
        - name: <div>GF</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'GF').value
        - name: <div>GA</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'GA').value
        - name: <div>DIFF</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'DIFF').value
        - name: <div>Last</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'L10').displayValue
        - name: <div>STRK</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'STRK').value

Focusing on the data, again a snippet, it looks like this:

    {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Home",
        "abbreviation": "HOME",
        "displayName": "Home",
        "shortDisplayName": "HOME",
        "description": "Home Record",
        "type": "home",
        "summary": "1-0-0",
        "displayValue": "1-0-0"
      },
      {
        "id": "3",
        "name": "Road",
        "abbreviation": "AWAY",
        "displayName": "Away",
        "shortDisplayName": "AWAY",
        "description": "Away Record",
        "type": "road",
        "summary": "0-0-0",
        "displayValue": "0-0-0"
      },
      {
        "id": "5",
        "name": "Last Ten Games",
        "abbreviation": "L10",
        "displayName": "Last Ten Games",
        "shortDisplayName": "L10",
        "description": "Record last 10 games",
        "type": "lasttengames",
        "summary": "1-0-0",
        "displayValue": "1-0-0, 0 PTS"
      },

As you can see from the above … the fields HOME, AWAY and L10 are all nearly the same in construction, at the same level. If I include L10 in the decluttering template, it errors as above and nothing is displayed. If I remove just L10, everyything works (obviously without the L10 field).

I have tried instead to use the “type” thinking that “L10” was bad, but it also does not work. I tried changing the name from “L10” but that does not work. THere is just something in that “L10” that is breaking flex-table with that error.

I can provide any other diagnostics I can, but I have run out of ideas.

The error itself does not mention “L10”. It mentions “displayName”, you have 3 items with this attribute.
Excude other 2 values from the card, leave only L10 - what will you see?

Yes, it is the L10 field and underneath the “displayValue” is the attribute.
Hang on for more, I think I know the issue.

Typical ESPN, it appears the “L10” field is missing on teams that have yet to play a game which should end in a few days as the season just started (or I have other JS for that to catch a bad field that I can wrap it).

And HOME, AWAY fields that are identically formatted and in the data returned from ESPN but exist at season start. Just L10 (which are the last 10 games) does not appear until they have played a game.

You are happy man )))
So, to solve the issue you need to check a presence of this entry.

Yep.

        - name: <div>L10</div>
          data: '[[attribute]]'
          modify: >-
            if(typeof x.stats.find(y=>y.abbreviation == 'L10') !== 'undefined'
            ){x.stats.find(y=>y["abbreviation"] == 'L10').summary}else{'-'}

Works a charm.

I would note that long ago I posted an enhancement request that I would have used. Using a plugin I would actually apply a function to all the fields and pass in field name and the attribute I wanted. I tested and it works great but it gets wiped after every update so I stopped using it.

I made use of flex table card to keep track of my many labels that are applied to entities, devices, automations and more.
