<v-data-iterator :items="[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]">
<template v-slot:default="{ items }">

v-for="(item, i) in items"
:key="i"
:title="`Item ${i}`"
></v-list-item>
</template>
</v-data-iterator>Examples
The following are a collection of examples that demonstrate more advanced and real world use of the v-data-iterator component.
Slots
The v-data-iterator component has 4 main slots
Default
The v-data-iterator has internal state for both selection and expansion, just like v-data-table. In this example we use the methods isExpanded and toggleExpand available on the default slot.
Header and footer
The v-data-iterator has both a header and footer slot for adding extra content.
Controllable props
Sorting, filters and pagination can be controlled externally by using the individual props
Loader props
Loader can be used to change loader on "loading" prop
