README

SPDataTable is a simple jQuery datatable editor library in PHP that allows you to manipulate and generate data tables effortlessly. It has a simple and easy to use API that allows you to add, edit, remove and generate data tables from a query result or an array of data. It supports SelfPhP, CodeIgnitor, Cake PHP, Laravel and other PHP frameworks as well as procedural PHP. Below is the walkthrough of how to use SPDataTable.

Installation

You can install SPDataTable by downloading the class SP\Datatables\SPDataTable.php and including it in your project. You can also install it using Composer as shown below:

composer require sp-datatables/sp-datatables

Usage

Basic Usage

require __DIR__ . "/SPDataTable.php";

// Create an instance of SPDataTable
$dataTable = new SPDataTable();

// Add data rows
$dataTable->addRow(['name' => 'John', 'age' => 25, 'city' => 'New York']);
$dataTable->addRow(['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 30, 'city' => 'London']);

// Edit a column
$dataTable->editColumn('age', function($value) {
    return $value * 2;
});

To generate the columns and data, call the make() method.

// Generate columns and data
$result = $dataTable->make();

// Output the result
print_r($result);

Advanced Usage

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use SP\DataTables\SPDataTable;

// Create an instance of SPDataTable
$dataTable = new SPDataTable();

// Set table data from a query result
$queryResult = [
    ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 25, 'city' => 'New York'],
    ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 30, 'city' => 'London'],
    // ... more data
];

$dataTable->setTableData($queryResult)
    ->editColumn('age', function($value) {
        return $value * 2;
    })
    ->removeRow(1)
    ->removeColumn('id')
    ->setCustomContent('custom', function($row) {
        return $row['name'] . ' lives in ' . $row['city'];
    });

// Generate columns and data
$result = $dataTable->make();

// Output the result
print_r($result);
