#mountable.js
An easier way to pass JSON content into a HTML table using jQuery
- It's tiny! Just 3KB;
- Easy to customize;
- Allows callback functions;
- jQuery required.
Don't have time? Here we go!
- First off, create a
<table>
like this one. Note to that<tr>
element with a classmountable-model
listed below. This will be used by MounTable.
<table class="table" id="example1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="mountable-model">
<td><input type="text" name="first_name[]" class="form-control"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="last_name[]" class="form-control"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="email[]" class="form-control"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
- Let's catch a small JSON code (or object) to be used in this example. Please note that the key names listed below must be the same as declared on the input names listed above.
var jsonContentSimple =
[
{
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Appleseed",
"email": "john@appleseed.com"
},
{
"first_name": "João",
"last_name": "Canabrava",
"email": "joao@canabrava.com"
},
{
"first_name": "Patrick",
"last_name": "Grapeseed",
"email": "patrick@grapeseed.com"
},
{
"first_name": "Xingling",
"last_name": "Ping Pong",
"email": "xingling@pingpong.com"
}
];
- Here we go. Time to start MounTable. Note that the ID
#example1
** listed below is the table's ID**.
$('#example1').mounTable(jsonContentSimple);
And that's all! Enjoy your content in your table.
Do you want to fully customize MounTable? Here's all the options you'll need:
$('#example').mounTable(jsonContentComplex,
{
/* The model class */
model: '.mountable-model',
/* No console messages */
noDebug: true,
/* Options to your new line button */
addLine:
{
/* New line button selector */
button: "#button2",
/* Callback function */
onClick: function ()
{
console.log('Line added!');
}
},
/* Options to your delete line button */
deleteLine:
{
/* Delete line button selector */
button: ".mountable-remove-line-2",
/* Callback function */
onClick: function ()
{
if (confirm("Are you sure?"))
{
console.log('Line removed!');
return true;
}
}
}
});
