React Data Tables, RDT

The main objective is to provide a simple, intuitive, and powerful data tables module. RDT is alternative to jQuery's dataTables module.

The project is still young and unstable, so, I don't recommend to be pushed in production!

Contributions are welcomed!

Code Example

As already mention, the main purpose is to build an expressive API!

The following snippet will create a table based on the JSON response from source.php

React.render(<Table remoteLocation="/source.php" remoteMethod="GET" />,
              document.getElementById('table'));

An example of how source.php might look like.

However, we know that in larger applications the table will not be consisted only of data, but they might have buttons, links, events, and etc. Hence, defining custom cells is important.

In the current version, we are able to do things like:

var customCells = {
    actions: function (user) {
        return ( 
          <div>
            <a className="btn btn-primary"
            onClick={this.deactivateUser(user.id)}>Deactivate</a>
          </div> 
        );
    },
    avatar: function (user) {
        return ( <img src={'/img/avatars'+user.avatar} />)
    }
};

React.render(<Table
        remoteLocation="/users"
        remoteMethod="GET"
        customCells={customCells}
    />,

    document.getElementById('table'));

Installation

As of now, you can easily clone the package on your machine and run:

1-Step)

Install Node.JS dependencies

cd project-folder/
npm install

2-Step)

Boot up a PHP server to generate JSON data from source.php

php -S localhost:8888

3-Step)

Open up localhost:8888 in your browser

TODOS:

There project is still a baby and there's a lot to be done. My primary concerns will be:

• Searching in RDT
• Searching and quering external resource
• In-memory sorting and external resource sorting
• Providing a test suite
