In this step, we'll become comfortable with the Carbon grid and various Carbon components.\n\n<AnchorLinks>\n\n<AnchorLink>Fork, clone and branch</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Install grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Add landing page grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Build landing page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Style landing page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Add repo page grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Build repo page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Style repo page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Submit pull request</AnchorLink>\n\n</AnchorLinks>\n\n## Preview\n\nA [preview](https://vue-step-3--carbon-tutorial-vue.netlify.com) of what you'll build:\n\n<Preview\n  height=\"400\"\n  title=\"Carbon Tutorial Step 2\"\n  src=\"https://vue-step-3--carbon-tutorial-vue.netlify.com\"\n  frameborder=\"no\"\n  allowtransparency=\"true\"\n  allowfullscreen=\"true\"\n  class=\"bx--iframe bx--iframe--border\"\n/>\n\n## Fork, clone and branch\n\nThis tutorial has an accompanying GitHub repository called [carbon-tutorial-vue](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-tutorial-vue) that we'll use as a starting point for each step. If you haven't forked and cloned that repository yet, and haven't added the upstream remote, go ahead and do so by following the [step 1 instructions](/tutorial/vue/step-1#fork-clone--branch).\n\n### Branch\n\nWith your repository all set up, let's check out the branch for this tutorial step's starting point.\n\n```bash\n$ git fetch upstream\n$ git checkout -b vue-step-2 upstream/vue-step-2\n```\n\n_Note: This builds on top of step 1, but be sure to check out the upstream step 2 branch because it includes the static assets and fixes required to get through this step._\n\n### Build and start app\n\nInstall the app's dependencies (in case you're starting fresh in your current directory and not continuing from the previous step):\n\n```bash\n$ yarn\n```\n\nThen, start the app:\n\n```bash\n$ yarn serve\n```\n\nYou should see something similar to where the [previous step](/tutorial/vue/step-1) left off.\n\n## Install grid\n\nIn our last step we added our styles, component and icon packages. Now that we're building the pages with grid, we need to install one more Carbon package. Stop your development environment (`CTRL-C`) and:\n\n```bash\n$ yarn add @carbon/grid\n```\n\nIn `_carbon.scss`, we need to configure our grid to use 16 columns instead of the default 12 columns. We do this by adding `grid-columns-16: true` in our `$feature-flags`.\n\n##### src/styles/\\_carbon.scss\n\n```css\n$feature-flags: (\n  grid-columns-16: true\n);\n```\n\n_Note: Like before, the feature flag still needs to come before the Carbon_ `styles.scss` _import._\n\nRun `yarn serve` so we can begin building.\n\n## Add landing page grid\n\nLet's add our grid elements to `LandingPage.vue`.\n\nIn order to use the grid, we need to wrap everything in a `<div class=\"bx--grid\">`. We can continue to make rows by adding a `<div class=\"bx--row\">` inside the grid, as well as make columns within those rows by adding `<div class=\"bx--col-[breakpoint]-[size]\">`.\n\nOur column sizes are specified by the number of columns they'll be spanning. If we use `bx--col-lg-4`, it means it'll span 4 of the 16 columns. If we use `bx--col-lg-8` it means it'll span 8 of the 16 columns, and so on.\n\nWe've included the designs for this tutorial app in the `design.sketch` file found as a top-level file in the `carbon-tutorial-vue` repository. But, if you don't have Sketch installed and available to inspect the design, we'll provide screenshots.\n\n![Landing page grid](../shared/step-2/images/landing-layout.png)\n\n<Caption>Landing page grid</Caption>\n\n_Pro tip:_ `CTRL-L` _toggles the layout in Sketch._\n\nWe'll break this down into three rows. The first row with the gray background doesn't appear to need any columns. The second row with the white background looks like it has two columns of different widths. The third row with the gray background looks like it has four columns of equal width.\n\nWe'll make rows like so:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--full-width landing-page\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__banner\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">1</div>\n    </div>\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r2\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">7/16</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">8/16</div>\n    </div>\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r3\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</template>\n```\n\nWe added a class of `bx--grid--full-width` to the grid container since our rows need to expand the whole page without any margins. We also added some custom classes like `landing-page`, `landing-page__banner`, `landing-page__r2`, etc., which we will use later.\n\nAlso, take notice of the second row. The tab content only covers 7 columns at this large viewport to prevent overly-large line lengths, so we needed to add a 1 column offset `bx--offset-lg-1` to second column to fill the full 16 columns in the grid. Then, both of those columns have `bx--col-md-4` classes so they are of equal width at medium-sized viewports.\n\n## Build landing page\n\nWe'll start adding HTML elements and components by row.\n\n### First row\n\nIn our first row we'll use a `CvBreadcrumb` component.\n\nWe can now add our component to the first row, along with a header, like so:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__banner\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n    <cv-breadcrumb noTrailingSlash>\n      <cv-breadcrumb-item>\n        <cv-link href=\"/\">Getting started</cv-link>\n      </cv-breadcrumb-item>\n    </cv-breadcrumb>\n    <h1 class=\"landing-page__heading\">Design &amp; build with Carbon</h1>\n  </div>\n</div>\n```\n\nYou may notice that the styles look off. Don't worry, we'll fix these later.\n\n### Second row\n\nIn our second row we'll use `CvTabs` and `CvButton` components.\n\n<!-- ##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nconst props = {\n  tabs: {\n    selected: 0,\n    triggerHref: \"#\",\n    role: \"navigation\"\n  },\n  tab: {\n    href: \"#\",\n    role: \"presentation\",\n    tabIndex: 0\n  }\n};\n``` -->\n\nModify the second row to use the `Tab` component.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r2\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col bx--no-gutter\">\n    <cv-tabs selected=\"0\">\n      <cv-tab label=\"About\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">7/16</div>\n            <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">\n              8/16\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n      <cv-tab label=\"Design\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n              Rapidly build beautiful and accessible experiences. The Carbon kit\n              contains all resources you need to get started.\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n      <cv-tab label=\"Develop\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n              Carbon provides styles and components in Vanilla, Vue, Angular,\n              and Vue for anyone building on the web.\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n    </cv-tabs>\n  </div>\n</div>\n```\n\n_Note: We're using the grid for the page layout, but we also need to apply the grid within the tab content. When doing so, make sure the nested grid has the expected_ `grid` _>_ `row` _>_ `col` _DOM structure._\n\nHold up! If you were to run [DAP](https://www.ibm.com/able/dynamic-assessment-plug-in.html) to check for accessibility violations, you'd see `Multiple navigation landmarks must have unique labels specified with aria-label or aria-labelledby` because both the `CvBreadcrumb` and `CvTabs` components use `<nav>` elements. To fix, add `aria-label` to the `CvBreadcrumb` opening tag:\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-breadcrumb noTrailingSlash aria-label=\"Page navigation\">\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nSame goes for the `CvTabs` opening tag:\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-tabs selected=\"0\" aria-label=\"Tab navigation\">\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nGive yourself a pat on the back if you actually ran the DAP tool. We'll install the DAP tool in a later step, so don't worry if you didn't.\n\nNext, we'll need to add a styling override to move the tabs to the right on large viewports. Create a file `_carbon-overrides.scss` in `src/views/LandingPage` with this declaration block.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/\\_carbon-overrides.scss\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r2 .bx--tabs__nav {\n  right: 0;\n}\n```\n\nThen in `LandingPage.vue` add a style section with this import.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```scss\n<style lang=\"scss\">\n@import \"./carbon-overrides\";\n</style>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\n_Note: We don't have to include this in a separate file, but it's nice to keep overrides separate from your_\napplication's styling so when migrating to future Carbon versions and if there are breaking changes via different class\nnames, you have a consolidated list of styling declaration blocks to review._ We can now add our images and text for\neach column in the first `CvTab` in `LandingPage.vue`._\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-tab label=\"About\">\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">\n        <h2 class=\"landing-page__subheading\">What is Carbon?</h2>\n        <p class=\"landing-page__p\">\n          Carbon is IBM’s open-source design system for digital\n          products and experiences. With the IBM Design Language as\n          its foundation, the system consists of working code, design\n          tools and resources, human interface guidelines, and a\n          vibrant community of contributors.\n        </p>\n        <cv-button>Learn more</cv-button>\n      </div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">\n        <img\n          class=\"landing-page__illo\"\n          src=\"../../assets/tab-illo.png\"\n          alt=\"Carbon illustration\"\n        />\n      </div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</cv-tab>\n```\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nNow let's set the image size in the style section of `LandingPage.vue`:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__illo {\n  max-width: 100%;\n}\n```\n\nAssuming that the second and third tab would have a similar design, we would set them up in the same way. However, since our design specs don't show those tabs, we'll leave the code as is.\n\n### Third row\n\nThe third row will be created in a later tutorial, so we'll just add the headers for now.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r3\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">\n    <h3 class=\"landing-page__label\">The Principles</h3>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Open</div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Modular</div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Consistent</div>\n</div>\n```\n\n## Style landing page\n\nWe've added basic layout styles in `LandingPage.vue`, so now let's add type, color and spacing styles to match the design. We'll be using our [spacing tokens](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/spacing). In a new file `src/styles/_carbon-utils.scss`, add these imports at the **top** of the file so we can use Carbon breakpoints, tokens, and typography Sass mixins and functions:\n\n##### src/styles/\\_carbon-utils.scss\n\n```scss\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vendor/@carbon/type/scss/font-family.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vendor/@carbon/layout/scss/breakpoint.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/typography.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vars.scss';\n```\n\nAdding these tokesn, mixins etc. here means we can import them with a single line into any component that needs them.\n\n### Banner\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Banner vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r1-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Banner vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\n_Pro tip:_ `CTRL-G` _toggles the grid in Sketch._\n\nBack to `LandingPage.vue`, we need to add space above the breadcrumb and below the heading. For that, add:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n```\n\nwith the other imports and\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__banner {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-07 * 4;\n}\n```\n\nReferencing the [spacing token table](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/spacing#spacing-scale), `16px` can be set with the `$spacing-05` token. The design calls for `128px` of space below the heading and that's not in the spacing scale, we can achieve that in Sass by multiplying 32px (`$spacing-07`) by 4. We could use `128px` or `8rem` directly in our styling, but using our tokens preserves consistency should the token values get updated in the future.\n\nLooking at the design, we need a wall-to-wall light gray background behind the banner and also behind the third row. This is a great opportunity to use a Sass mixin. We could put this at the top of `LandingPage.vue`, but it's best practice to place mixins in a dedicated file, so create a `_mixins.scss` file in `src/views/LandingPage`.\n\nAdd the following in `_mixins.scss`. Per the design we need to use Gray 10 for our banner background color, which can be set with the `$ui-01` [color token](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/color/usage). Also, we want the background to extend into the grid's outermost gutters to go the full width of the viewport, so given the DOM structure, we can achieve that by setting the background in an absolutely positioned pseudo element.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/\\_mixins.scss\n\n```scss\n@mixin landing-page-background() {\n  background-color: $ui-01;\n  position: relative;\n\n  &::before {\n    content: '';\n    position: absolute;\n    left: -$spacing-05;\n    top: 0;\n    right: -$spacing-05;\n    bottom: 0;\n    background: $ui-01;\n    z-index: -1;\n  }\n}\n```\n\nAfter you have created `_mixins.scss`, import it at the **top** of `LandingPage.vue`. By now you should have three imports:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n@import './carbon-overrides';\n@import './mixins';\n```\n\nNow to use the new mixin, update the `.landing-page__banner` declaration block to:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__banner {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-07 * 4;\n  @include landing-page-background;\n}\n```\n\nNext, we can see that the `h1` is using the `heading-05` type token.\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Banner heading type](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r1-type.png)\n\n<Caption>Banner heading type</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\nThe Sketch symbol naming is consistent with the development Sass tokens to help translate design to development. So, looking up the [type token](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/typography/productive), we know to use `productive-heading-05`:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__heading {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-05');\n}\n```\n\n### Row two\n\nFor our second row, we need to fix the tabs vertical positioning to match the design. By inspecting the tabs component, you can see that the tab height computes to `40px`. We can use that to create our negative top margin in rem units.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r2 {\n  margin-top: rem(-40px);\n}\n```\n\nWe also need to adust our vertical spacing and type treatment. Like before, it's a matter of using spacing and type tokens like so:\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Row 2 vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r2-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Row 2 vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\n_Note: You may be wondering why there are vertical gaps between the type and spacers. Each type token has a line height that's suited for its font size. The vertical spacers adjacently touch the line height boundaries and not the baseline, for consistency as well as development ease so_ `margins` _and_ `paddings` _don't need to offset line heights._\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__tab-content {\n  padding-top: $layout-05;\n  padding-bottom: $layout-05;\n}\n\n.landing-page__subheading {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-03');\n  @include carbon--font-weight('semibold');\n}\n\n.landing-page__p {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-03');\n  margin-top: $spacing-06;\n  margin-bottom: $spacing-08;\n\n  @include carbon--breakpoint-between((320px + 1), md) {\n    max-width: 75%;\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Row three\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Row 3 vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r3-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Row 3 vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\nLet's also add some styles for the last row, even though that will get used later in the tutorial. You'll notice that we get to re-use the `landing-page-background` mixin that we just created.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r3 {\n  padding-top: $spacing-09;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-09;\n  @include landing-page-background;\n}\n\n.landing-page__label {\n  @include carbon--type-style('heading-01');\n}\n```\n\nTa-da! You should see a finished landing page! Now we can move on to the repo page.\n\n## Add repo page grid\n\nNow in our `RepoPage.vue` we'll add our grid containers in the template section.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--full-width bx--grid--no-gutter repo-page\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row repo-page__r1\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">Data table will go here</div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</template>\n```\n\n## Build repo page\n\nWe currently have `RepoPage.vue` that just contains a grid and placeholder content for the time being. In the next tutorial step we're going to be querying an API to populate the `CvDataTable` component in this page. As a best practice to separate data fetching from the presentation components, go ahead and create a `RepoTable.vue` as a sibling to `RepoPage.vue` in `src/views/RepoPage`.\n\n### Build data table\n\nFirst, let's pretend we've already built our table component and update `RepoPage.vue` with a script section.\n\nImport `RepoTable` in `RepoPage.vue`.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\n<script>\nimport RepoTable from \"./RepoTable\";\n\nexport default {\n  name: \"RepoPage\"\n};\n</script>\n```\n\nThen below the import, include the following arrays to pass into the `RepoTable` component. We'll be setting the `rows` array from an API in the next tutorial step, but for now, static example rows will suffice.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nconst headers = [\n  {\n    key: 'name',\n    header: 'Name',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'createdAt',\n    header: 'Created',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'updatedAt',\n    header: 'Updated',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'issueCount',\n    header: 'Open Issues',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'stars',\n    header: 'Stars',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'links',\n    header: 'Links',\n  },\n];\n\nconst rows = [\n  {\n    id: '1',\n    name: 'Repo 1',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n  {\n    id: '2',\n    name: 'Repo 2',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n  {\n    id: '3',\n    name: 'Repo 3',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n];\n```\n\nNext we need to make sure the RepoTable component and these arrays are available to our `RepoPage` component template. Your component export should look like the following to achieve this.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nexport default {\n  name: 'RepoPage',\n  components: { RepoTable },\n  data() {\n    return {\n      headers,\n      rows,\n    };\n  },\n};\n```\n\nHere we used the data method of the component as the values logically are data in our component.\n\nLastly in the `RepoPage.vue` template, we need to simply replace `Data table will go here` with:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<repo-table\n  :headers=\"headers\"\n  :rows=\"rows\"\n  title=\"Carbon Repositories\"\n  helperText=\"A collection of public Carbon repositories.\"\n/>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nOK. So now our `RepoPage.vue` component is ready to use a component called 'RepoTable' so let's create it so our page displays again.\n\nFirst create a script section as follows:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoTable.vue\n\n```javascript\n<script>\n  export default {\n    name: 'RepoTable',\n    props: {\n      headers: Array,\n      rows: Array,\n      title: String,\n      helperText: String,\n    },\n    computed: {\n      columns() {\n        return this.headers.map(header => header.header);\n      },\n      data() {\n        return this.rows.map(row => ({\n          data: [\n            row.name,\n            row.createdAt,\n            row.updatedAt,\n            row.issueCount,\n            row.stars,\n            row.links,\n          ],\n          description: 'Row description',\n        }));\n      },\n    },\n  };\n</script>\n```\n\nIn this component script we:\n\n- Named our new component `RepoTable`.\n- Added component properties for the headers and rows as well as two further properties title and helperText.\n- Added the computed properties columns and headers which transform headers and rows into a format convenient for rendering with the CvDataTable components.\n\nNext, let's create the `RepoTable` template starting with the cv-data-table component.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoTable.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <cv-data-table :columns=\"columns\" :title=\"title\" :helper-text=\"helperText\">\n  </cv-data-table>\n</template>\n```\n\nHere we pass in the columns, title and helper text. If you view this you will see an empty table with headings.\n\nNext add the rows inside of cv-data-table.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<template slot=\"data\">\n  <cv-data-table-row v-for=\"(row, rowIndex) in data\" :key=\"`${rowIndex}`\"> </cv-data-table-row>\n</template>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nHere we use v-for to iterate through the data assigning a key and value to each row. The rendered output may not appear\nto have changed, although if you inspect using the developer tools you will find three empty rows. Next add the cell\ndata inside the `cv-data-table-row` component.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-data-table-cell\n  v-for=\"(cell, cellIndex) in row.data\"\n  :key=\"`${cellIndex}`\"\n  >{{cell}}</cv-data-table-cell\n>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nAgain we've used the v-for directive to iterate through our data adding key, value and the contents of the cell.\n\nThe last item we need to add is the description shown in the expanded content. Add the following as a sibling of cv-data-table-cell component.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<template slot=\"expandedContent\">\n{{ row.description }}\n</template>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nNow you should have a working page rendering the sample content from the rows array.\n\nThis component consumes our properties and returns a Carbon `CvDataTable`. As for where the various `CvDataTable*` components came from? The [CvDataTable story](http://vue.carbondesignsystem.com/?path=/story/components-cvdatatable--default) in Storybook was used to put together the data table structure.\n\n## Style repo page\n\nOur styles for the repo page are mostly fine. We just need to update a few vertical spacing issues.\n\nIn `RepoPage.vue`, add the following style section:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```scss\n<style lang=\"scss\">\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n\n.repo-page .bx--row {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-05;\n}\n</style>\n```\n\nCongratulations! We've now created our static repo page!\n\n## Submit pull request\n\nWe're going to submit a pull request to verify completion of this tutorial step.\n\n### Continuous integration (CI) check\n\nRun the CI check to make sure we're all set to submit a pull request.\n\n```bash\n$ yarn ci-check\n```\n\n_Note: Having issues running the CI check?

In this step, we'll become comfortable with the Carbon grid and various Carbon components.\n\n<AnchorLinks>\n\n<AnchorLink>Fork, clone and branch</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Install grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Add landing page grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Build landing page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Style landing page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Add repo page grid</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Build repo page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Style repo page</AnchorLink>\n<AnchorLink>Submit pull request</AnchorLink>\n\n</AnchorLinks>\n\n## Preview\n\nA [preview](https://vue-step-3--carbon-tutorial-vue.netlify.com) of what you'll build:\n\n<Preview\n  height=\"400\"\n  title=\"Carbon Tutorial Step 2\"\n  src=\"https://vue-step-3--carbon-tutorial-vue.netlify.com\"\n  frameborder=\"no\"\n  allowtransparency=\"true\"\n  allowfullscreen=\"true\"\n  class=\"bx--iframe bx--iframe--border\"\n/>\n\n## Fork, clone and branch\n\nThis tutorial has an accompanying GitHub repository called [carbon-tutorial-vue](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-tutorial-vue) that we'll use as a starting point for each step. If you haven't forked and cloned that repository yet, and haven't added the upstream remote, go ahead and do so by following the [step 1 instructions](/tutorial/vue/step-1#fork-clone--branch).\n\n### Branch\n\nWith your repository all set up, let's check out the branch for this tutorial step's starting point.\n\n```bash\n$ git fetch upstream\n$ git checkout -b vue-step-2 upstream/vue-step-2\n```\n\n_Note: This builds on top of step 1, but be sure to check out the upstream step 2 branch because it includes the static assets and fixes required to get through this step._\n\n### Build and start app\n\nInstall the app's dependencies (in case you're starting fresh in your current directory and not continuing from the previous step):\n\n```bash\n$ yarn\n```\n\nThen, start the app:\n\n```bash\n$ yarn serve\n```\n\nYou should see something similar to where the [previous step](/tutorial/vue/step-1) left off.\n\n## Install grid\n\nIn our last step we added our styles, component and icon packages. Now that we're building the pages with grid, we need to install one more Carbon package. Stop your development environment (`CTRL-C`) and:\n\n```bash\n$ yarn add @carbon/grid\n```\n\nIn `_carbon.scss`, we need to configure our grid to use 16 columns instead of the default 12 columns. We do this by adding `grid-columns-16: true` in our `$feature-flags`.\n\n##### src/styles/\\_carbon.scss\n\n```css\n$feature-flags: (\n  grid-columns-16: true\n);\n```\n\n_Note: Like before, the feature flag still needs to come before the Carbon_ `styles.scss` _import._\n\nRun `yarn serve` so we can begin building.\n\n## Add landing page grid\n\nLet's add our grid elements to `LandingPage.vue`.\n\nIn order to use the grid, we need to wrap everything in a `<div class=\"bx--grid\">`. We can continue to make rows by adding a `<div class=\"bx--row\">` inside the grid, as well as make columns within those rows by adding `<div class=\"bx--col-[breakpoint]-[size]\">`.\n\nOur column sizes are specified by the number of columns they'll be spanning. If we use `bx--col-lg-4`, it means it'll span 4 of the 16 columns. If we use `bx--col-lg-8` it means it'll span 8 of the 16 columns, and so on.\n\nWe've included the designs for this tutorial app in the `design.sketch` file found as a top-level file in the `carbon-tutorial-vue` repository. But, if you don't have Sketch installed and available to inspect the design, we'll provide screenshots.\n\n![Landing page grid](../shared/step-2/images/landing-layout.png)\n\n<Caption>Landing page grid</Caption>\n\n_Pro tip:_ `CTRL-L` _toggles the layout in Sketch._\n\nWe'll break this down into three rows. The first row with the gray background doesn't appear to need any columns. The second row with the white background looks like it has two columns of different widths. The third row with the gray background looks like it has four columns of equal width.\n\nWe'll make rows like so:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--full-width landing-page\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__banner\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">1</div>\n    </div>\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r2\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">7/16</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">8/16</div>\n    </div>\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r3\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">1/4</div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</template>\n```\n\nWe added a class of `bx--grid--full-width` to the grid container since our rows need to expand the whole page without any margins. We also added some custom classes like `landing-page`, `landing-page__banner`, `landing-page__r2`, etc., which we will use later.\n\nAlso, take notice of the second row. The tab content only covers 7 columns at this large viewport to prevent overly-large line lengths, so we needed to add a 1 column offset `bx--offset-lg-1` to second column to fill the full 16 columns in the grid. Then, both of those columns have `bx--col-md-4` classes so they are of equal width at medium-sized viewports.\n\n## Build landing page\n\nWe'll start adding HTML elements and components by row.\n\n### First row\n\nIn our first row we'll use a `CvBreadcrumb` component.\n\nWe can now add our component to the first row, along with a header, like so:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__banner\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n    <cv-breadcrumb noTrailingSlash>\n      <cv-breadcrumb-item>\n        <cv-link href=\"/\">Getting started</cv-link>\n      </cv-breadcrumb-item>\n    </cv-breadcrumb>\n    <h1 class=\"landing-page__heading\">Design &amp; build with Carbon</h1>\n  </div>\n</div>\n```\n\nYou may notice that the styles look off. Don't worry, we'll fix these later.\n\n### Second row\n\nIn our second row we'll use `CvTabs` and `CvButton` components.\n\n<!-- ##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nconst props = {\n  tabs: {\n    selected: 0,\n    triggerHref: \"#\",\n    role: \"navigation\"\n  },\n  tab: {\n    href: \"#\",\n    role: \"presentation\",\n    tabIndex: 0\n  }\n};\n``` -->\n\nModify the second row to use the `Tab` component.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r2\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col bx--no-gutter\">\n    <cv-tabs selected=\"0\">\n      <cv-tab label=\"About\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">7/16</div>\n            <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">\n              8/16\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n      <cv-tab label=\"Design\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n              Rapidly build beautiful and accessible experiences. The Carbon kit\n              contains all resources you need to get started.\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n      <cv-tab label=\"Develop\">\n        <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n          <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n            <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">\n              Carbon provides styles and components in Vanilla, Vue, Angular,\n              and Vue for anyone building on the web.\n            </div>\n          </div>\n        </div>\n      </cv-tab>\n    </cv-tabs>\n  </div>\n</div>\n```\n\n_Note: We're using the grid for the page layout, but we also need to apply the grid within the tab content. When doing so, make sure the nested grid has the expected_ `grid` _>_ `row` _>_ `col` _DOM structure._\n\nHold up! If you were to run [DAP](https://www.ibm.com/able/dynamic-assessment-plug-in.html) to check for accessibility violations, you'd see `Multiple navigation landmarks must have unique labels specified with aria-label or aria-labelledby` because both the `CvBreadcrumb` and `CvTabs` components use `<nav>` elements. To fix, add `aria-label` to the `CvBreadcrumb` opening tag:\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-breadcrumb noTrailingSlash aria-label=\"Page navigation\">\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nSame goes for the `CvTabs` opening tag:\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-tabs selected=\"0\" aria-label=\"Tab navigation\">\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nGive yourself a pat on the back if you actually ran the DAP tool. We'll install the DAP tool in a later step, so don't worry if you didn't.\n\nNext, we'll need to add a styling override to move the tabs to the right on large viewports. Create a file `_carbon-overrides.scss` in `src/views/LandingPage` with this declaration block.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/\\_carbon-overrides.scss\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r2 .bx--tabs__nav {\n  right: 0;\n}\n```\n\nThen in `LandingPage.vue` add a style section with this import.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```scss\n<style lang=\"scss\">\n@import \"./carbon-overrides\";\n</style>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\n_Note: We don't have to include this in a separate file, but it's nice to keep overrides separate from your_\napplication's styling so when migrating to future Carbon versions and if there are breaking changes via different class\nnames, you have a consolidated list of styling declaration blocks to review._ We can now add our images and text for\neach column in the first `CvTab` in `LandingPage.vue`._\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-tab label=\"About\">\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--no-gutter bx--grid--full-width\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row landing-page__tab-content\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-7\">\n        <h2 class=\"landing-page__subheading\">What is Carbon?</h2>\n        <p class=\"landing-page__p\">\n          Carbon is IBM’s open-source design system for digital\n          products and experiences. With the IBM Design Language as\n          its foundation, the system consists of working code, design\n          tools and resources, human interface guidelines, and a\n          vibrant community of contributors.\n        </p>\n        <cv-button>Learn more</cv-button>\n      </div>\n      <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--offset-lg-1 bx--col-lg-8\">\n        <img\n          class=\"landing-page__illo\"\n          src=\"../../assets/tab-illo.png\"\n          alt=\"Carbon illustration\"\n        />\n      </div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</cv-tab>\n```\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nNow let's set the image size in the style section of `LandingPage.vue`:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__illo {\n  max-width: 100%;\n}\n```\n\nAssuming that the second and third tab would have a similar design, we would set them up in the same way. However, since our design specs don't show those tabs, we'll leave the code as is.\n\n### Third row\n\nThe third row will be created in a later tutorial, so we'll just add the headers for now.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```html\n<div class=\"bx--row landing-page__r3\">\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">\n    <h3 class=\"landing-page__label\">The Principles</h3>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Open</div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Modular</div>\n  <div class=\"bx--col-md-4 bx--col-lg-4\">Carbon is Consistent</div>\n</div>\n```\n\n## Style landing page\n\nWe've added basic layout styles in `LandingPage.vue`, so now let's add type, color and spacing styles to match the design. We'll be using our [spacing tokens](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/spacing). In a new file `src/styles/_carbon-utils.scss`, add these imports at the **top** of the file so we can use Carbon breakpoints, tokens, and typography Sass mixins and functions:\n\n##### src/styles/\\_carbon-utils.scss\n\n```scss\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vendor/@carbon/type/scss/font-family.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vendor/@carbon/layout/scss/breakpoint.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/typography.scss';\n@import 'carbon-components/scss/globals/scss/vars.scss';\n```\n\nAdding these tokesn, mixins etc. here means we can import them with a single line into any component that needs them.\n\n### Banner\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Banner vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r1-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Banner vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\n_Pro tip:_ `CTRL-G` _toggles the grid in Sketch._\n\nBack to `LandingPage.vue`, we need to add space above the breadcrumb and below the heading. For that, add:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n```\n\nwith the other imports and\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__banner {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-07 * 4;\n}\n```\n\nReferencing the [spacing token table](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/spacing#spacing-scale), `16px` can be set with the `$spacing-05` token. The design calls for `128px` of space below the heading and that's not in the spacing scale, we can achieve that in Sass by multiplying 32px (`$spacing-07`) by 4. We could use `128px` or `8rem` directly in our styling, but using our tokens preserves consistency should the token values get updated in the future.\n\nLooking at the design, we need a wall-to-wall light gray background behind the banner and also behind the third row. This is a great opportunity to use a Sass mixin. We could put this at the top of `LandingPage.vue`, but it's best practice to place mixins in a dedicated file, so create a `_mixins.scss` file in `src/views/LandingPage`.\n\nAdd the following in `_mixins.scss`. Per the design we need to use Gray 10 for our banner background color, which can be set with the `$ui-01` [color token](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/color/usage). Also, we want the background to extend into the grid's outermost gutters to go the full width of the viewport, so given the DOM structure, we can achieve that by setting the background in an absolutely positioned pseudo element.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/\\_mixins.scss\n\n```scss\n@mixin landing-page-background() {\n  background-color: $ui-01;\n  position: relative;\n\n  &::before {\n    content: '';\n    position: absolute;\n    left: -$spacing-05;\n    top: 0;\n    right: -$spacing-05;\n    bottom: 0;\n    background: $ui-01;\n    z-index: -1;\n  }\n}\n```\n\nAfter you have created `_mixins.scss`, import it at the **top** of `LandingPage.vue`. By now you should have three imports:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n@import './carbon-overrides';\n@import './mixins';\n```\n\nNow to use the new mixin, update the `.landing-page__banner` declaration block to:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__banner {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-07 * 4;\n  @include landing-page-background;\n}\n```\n\nNext, we can see that the `h1` is using the `heading-05` type token.\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Banner heading type](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r1-type.png)\n\n<Caption>Banner heading type</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\nThe Sketch symbol naming is consistent with the development Sass tokens to help translate design to development. So, looking up the [type token](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/guidelines/typography/productive), we know to use `productive-heading-05`:\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__heading {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-05');\n}\n```\n\n### Row two\n\nFor our second row, we need to fix the tabs vertical positioning to match the design. By inspecting the tabs component, you can see that the tab height computes to `40px`. We can use that to create our negative top margin in rem units.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r2 {\n  margin-top: rem(-40px);\n}\n```\n\nWe also need to adust our vertical spacing and type treatment. Like before, it's a matter of using spacing and type tokens like so:\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Row 2 vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r2-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Row 2 vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\n_Note: You may be wondering why there are vertical gaps between the type and spacers. Each type token has a line height that's suited for its font size. The vertical spacers adjacently touch the line height boundaries and not the baseline, for consistency as well as development ease so_ `margins` _and_ `paddings` _don't need to offset line heights._\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__tab-content {\n  padding-top: $layout-05;\n  padding-bottom: $layout-05;\n}\n\n.landing-page__subheading {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-03');\n  @include carbon--font-weight('semibold');\n}\n\n.landing-page__p {\n  @include carbon--type-style('productive-heading-03');\n  margin-top: $spacing-06;\n  margin-bottom: $spacing-08;\n\n  @include carbon--breakpoint-between((320px + 1), md) {\n    max-width: 75%;\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Row three\n\n<Row>\n<Column colLg={8}>\n\n![Row 3 vertical spacing](../shared/step-2/images/landing-r3-spacing.png)\n\n<Caption>Row 3 vertical spacing</Caption>\n\n</Column>\n</Row>\n\nLet's also add some styles for the last row, even though that will get used later in the tutorial. You'll notice that we get to re-use the `landing-page-background` mixin that we just created.\n\n##### src/views/LandingPage/LandingPage.vue\n\n```scss\n.landing-page__r3 {\n  padding-top: $spacing-09;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-09;\n  @include landing-page-background;\n}\n\n.landing-page__label {\n  @include carbon--type-style('heading-01');\n}\n```\n\nTa-da! You should see a finished landing page! Now we can move on to the repo page.\n\n## Add repo page grid\n\nNow in our `RepoPage.vue` we'll add our grid containers in the template section.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <div class=\"bx--grid bx--grid--full-width bx--grid--no-gutter repo-page\">\n    <div class=\"bx--row repo-page__r1\">\n      <div class=\"bx--col-lg-16\">Data table will go here</div>\n    </div>\n  </div>\n</template>\n```\n\n## Build repo page\n\nWe currently have `RepoPage.vue` that just contains a grid and placeholder content for the time being. In the next tutorial step we're going to be querying an API to populate the `CvDataTable` component in this page. As a best practice to separate data fetching from the presentation components, go ahead and create a `RepoTable.vue` as a sibling to `RepoPage.vue` in `src/views/RepoPage`.\n\n### Build data table\n\nFirst, let's pretend we've already built our table component and update `RepoPage.vue` with a script section.\n\nImport `RepoTable` in `RepoPage.vue`.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\n<script>\nimport RepoTable from \"./RepoTable\";\n\nexport default {\n  name: \"RepoPage\"\n};\n</script>\n```\n\nThen below the import, include the following arrays to pass into the `RepoTable` component. We'll be setting the `rows` array from an API in the next tutorial step, but for now, static example rows will suffice.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nconst headers = [\n  {\n    key: 'name',\n    header: 'Name',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'createdAt',\n    header: 'Created',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'updatedAt',\n    header: 'Updated',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'issueCount',\n    header: 'Open Issues',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'stars',\n    header: 'Stars',\n  },\n  {\n    key: 'links',\n    header: 'Links',\n  },\n];\n\nconst rows = [\n  {\n    id: '1',\n    name: 'Repo 1',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n  {\n    id: '2',\n    name: 'Repo 2',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n  {\n    id: '3',\n    name: 'Repo 3',\n    createdAt: 'Date',\n    updatedAt: 'Date',\n    issueCount: '123',\n    stars: '456',\n    links: 'Links',\n  },\n];\n```\n\nNext we need to make sure the RepoTable component and these arrays are available to our `RepoPage` component template. Your component export should look like the following to achieve this.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```javascript\nexport default {\n  name: 'RepoPage',\n  components: { RepoTable },\n  data() {\n    return {\n      headers,\n      rows,\n    };\n  },\n};\n```\n\nHere we used the data method of the component as the values logically are data in our component.\n\nLastly in the `RepoPage.vue` template, we need to simply replace `Data table will go here` with:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<repo-table\n  :headers=\"headers\"\n  :rows=\"rows\"\n  title=\"Carbon Repositories\"\n  helperText=\"A collection of public Carbon repositories.\"\n/>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nOK. So now our `RepoPage.vue` component is ready to use a component called 'RepoTable' so let's create it so our page displays again.\n\nFirst create a script section as follows:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoTable.vue\n\n```javascript\n<script>\n  export default {\n    name: 'RepoTable',\n    props: {\n      headers: Array,\n      rows: Array,\n      title: String,\n      helperText: String,\n    },\n    computed: {\n      columns() {\n        return this.headers.map(header => header.header);\n      },\n      data() {\n        return this.rows.map(row => ({\n          data: [\n            row.name,\n            row.createdAt,\n            row.updatedAt,\n            row.issueCount,\n            row.stars,\n            row.links,\n          ],\n          description: 'Row description',\n        }));\n      },\n    },\n  };\n</script>\n```\n\nIn this component script we:\n\n- Named our new component `RepoTable`.\n- Added component properties for the headers and rows as well as two further properties title and helperText.\n- Added the computed properties columns and headers which transform headers and rows into a format convenient for rendering with the CvDataTable components.\n\nNext, let's create the `RepoTable` template starting with the cv-data-table component.\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoTable.vue\n\n```html\n<template>\n  <cv-data-table :columns=\"columns\" :title=\"title\" :helper-text=\"helperText\">\n  </cv-data-table>\n</template>\n```\n\nHere we pass in the columns, title and helper text. If you view this you will see an empty table with headings.\n\nNext add the rows inside of cv-data-table.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<template slot=\"data\">\n  <cv-data-table-row v-for=\"(row, rowIndex) in data\" :key=\"`${rowIndex}`\"> </cv-data-table-row>\n</template>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nHere we use v-for to iterate through the data assigning a key and value to each row. The rendered output may not appear\nto have changed, although if you inspect using the developer tools you will find three empty rows. Next add the cell\ndata inside the `cv-data-table-row` component.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<cv-data-table-cell\n  v-for=\"(cell, cellIndex) in row.data\"\n  :key=\"`${cellIndex}`\"\n  >{{cell}}</cv-data-table-cell\n>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nAgain we've used the v-for directive to iterate through our data adding key, value and the contents of the cell.\n\nThe last item we need to add is the description shown in the expanded content. Add the following as a sibling of cv-data-table-cell component.\n\n<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->\n```html\n<template slot=\"expandedContent\">\n{{ row.description }}\n</template>\n```\n<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->\n\nNow you should have a working page rendering the sample content from the rows array.\n\nThis component consumes our properties and returns a Carbon `CvDataTable`. As for where the various `CvDataTable*` components came from? The [CvDataTable story](http://vue.carbondesignsystem.com/?path=/story/components-cvdatatable--default) in Storybook was used to put together the data table structure.\n\n## Style repo page\n\nOur styles for the repo page are mostly fine. We just need to update a few vertical spacing issues.\n\nIn `RepoPage.vue`, add the following style section:\n\n##### src/views/RepoPage/RepoPage.vue\n\n```scss\n<style lang=\"scss\">\n@import '../../styles/carbon-utils';\n\n.repo-page .bx--row {\n  padding-top: $spacing-05;\n  padding-bottom: $spacing-05;\n}\n</style>\n```\n\nCongratulations! We've now created our static repo page!\n\n## Submit pull request\n\nWe're going to submit a pull request to verify completion of this tutorial step.\n\n### Continuous integration (CI) check\n\nRun the CI check to make sure we're all set to submit a pull request.\n\n```bash\n$ yarn ci-check\n```\n\n_Note: Having issues running the CI check?
