Timeline

Visually display timeline.

Basic usage

Timeline can be split into multiple activities in ascending or descending. Timestamps are important features that distinguish them from other components. Note the difference with Steps.

:::demo

<div class="block">
  <div class="radio">
    Order: 
    <el-radio-group v-model="reverse">
      <el-radio :label="true">descending</el-radio>
      <el-radio :label="false">ascending</el-radio>
    </el-radio-group>
  </div>

  <el-timeline :reverse="reverse">
    <el-timeline-item
      v-for="(activity, index) in activities"
      :key="index"
      :timestamp="activity.timestamp">
      {{activity.content}}
    </el-timeline-item>
  </el-timeline>
</div>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        reverse: true,
        activities: [{
          content: 'Event start',
          timestamp: '2018-04-15'
        }, {
          content: 'Approved',
          timestamp: '2018-04-13'
        }, {
          content: 'Success',
          timestamp: '2018-04-11'
        }]
      };
    }
  };
</script>

Custom node

Size, color, and icons can be customized in node.

:::demo

<div class="block">
  <el-timeline>
    <el-timeline-item
      v-for="(activity, index) in activities"
      :key="index"
      :icon="activity.icon"
      :type="activity.type"
      :color="activity.color"
      :size="activity.size"
      :timestamp="activity.timestamp">
      {{activity.content}}
    </el-timeline-item>
  </el-timeline>
</div>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        activities: [{
          content: 'Custom icon',
          timestamp: '2018-04-12 20:46',
          size: 'large',
          type: 'primary',
          icon: 'el-icon-more'
        }, {
          content: 'Custom color',
          timestamp: '2018-04-03 20:46',
          color: '#0bbd87'
        }, {
          content: 'Custom size',
          timestamp: '2018-04-03 20:46',
          size: 'large'
        }, {
          content: 'Default node',
          timestamp: '2018-04-03 20:46'
        }]
      };
    }
  };
</script>

:::

Custom timestamp

Timestamp can be placed on top of content when content is too high.

:::demo

<div class="block">
  <el-timeline>
    <el-timeline-item timestamp="2018/4/12" placement="top">
      <el-card>
        <h4>Update Github template</h4>
        <p>Tom committed 2018/4/12 20:46</p>
      </el-card>
    </el-timeline-item>
    <el-timeline-item timestamp="2018/4/3" placement="top">
      <el-card>
        <h4>Update Github template</h4>
        <p>Tom committed 2018/4/3 20:46</p>
      </el-card>
    </el-timeline-item>
    <el-timeline-item timestamp="2018/4/2" placement="top">
      <el-card>
        <h4>Update Github template</h4>
        <p>Tom committed 2018/4/2 20:46</p>
      </el-card>
    </el-timeline-item>
  </el-timeline>
</div>
