README

Package that easily converts collection of models to a datagrid table. The main goal of the package is to build for you a table with sorting and filters per column. You are defining the grid structure in your controller, pass the datagrid to the view and show it there. This will give you a really clean views, just a single line to show the table + filters + sorting + pagination. Keep in mind that filtering and sorting the data is up to you!

Features

• Composer installable
• PSR4 auto-loading
• Has filters row
• Has columns sort order
• Easily can add action column with edit/delete/whatever links
• Ability to modify cell data via closure function
• Bootstrap friendly
• Each column has data attributes based on a column data key

HOWTO

Let's consider that we have users and user roles (roles) table at our system.

Users table

id: primary key

role_id: foreign key to roles table primary key

email: user email added used as username

first_name: user first name

last_name: user last name

password: hashed password

created_at: when it's created

updated_at: when is the latest update

Roles Table

id: primary key

title: Role title e.g. Administrators Access

created_at: when it's created

updated_at: when is the latest update

We need a table with all the users data, their roles, edit and delete links at the last column at the table, filters and sort links at the very top, pagination at the very bottom.

<?php

// Grab all the users with their roles
// NB!!! At the next line you are responsible for data filtration and sorting!
$users = User::with('role')->paginate(25);

// Create Datagrid instance
// You need to pass the users and the URL query params that the package is using
$grid = new \Datagrid($users, Request::get('f', []));

// Or if you do not want to use the alias
//$grid = new \Aginev\Datagrid\Datagrid($users, Request::get('f', []));

// Then we are starting to define columns
$grid
	->setColumn('first_name', 'First Name', [
		// Will be sortable column
		'sortable'    => true,
		// Will have filtered
		'has_filters' => true
	])
	->setColumn('email', 'Email', [
		'sortable'    => true,
		'has_filters' => true,
		// Wrapper closure will accept two params
		// $value is the actual cell value
		// $row are the all values for this row
		'wrapper'     => function ($value, $row) {
			return '<a href="mailto:' . $value . '">' . $value . '</a>';
		}
	])
	->setColumn('role_id', 'Role', [
		// If you want to have role_id in the URL query string but you need to show role.name as value (dot notation for the user/role relation)
		'refers_to'   => 'role.name',
		'sortable'    => true,
		'has_filters' => true,
		// Pass array of data to the filter. It will generate select field.
		'filters'     => Role::all()->lists('title', 'id'),
		// Define HTML attributes for this column
		'attributes'  => [
            'class'         => 'custom-class-here',
            'data-custom'   => 'custom-data-attribute-value',
        ],
	])
	->setColumn('created_at', 'Created', [
		'sortable'    => true,
		'has_filters' => true,
		'wrapper'     => function ($value, $row) {
			// The value here is still Carbon instance, so you can format it using the Carbon methods
			return $value;
		}
	])
	->setColumn('updated_at', 'Updated', [
		'sortable'    => true,
		'has_filters' => true
	])
	// Setup action column
	->setActionColumn([
		'wrapper' => function ($value, $row) {
			return '<a href="' . action('HomeController@index', $row->id) . '" title="Edit" class="btn btn-xs"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil" aria-hidden="true"></span></a>
					<a href="' . action('HomeController@index', $row->id) . '" title="Delete" data-method="DELETE" class="btn btn-xs text-danger" data-confirm="Are you sure?"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove" aria-hidden="true"></span></a>';
		}
	]);

// Finally, pass the grid object to the view
return view('grid', ['grid' => $grid]);

Let's show the grid in the view. grid-table param is not required, and it's the id of the table.

...
{!! $grid->show('grid-table') !!}
...

Modifying Default View

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Aginev\Datagrid\DatagridServiceProvider" --tag="views"

This will copy the view to resources/views/vendor/datagrid/datagrid.blade.php. Editing this file you will be able to modify the grid view as you like with no chance to loose your changes.

Modifying Config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Aginev\Datagrid\DatagridServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will copy the config to config/datagrid.php.
