README

RollerworksDatagrid provides a powerful datagrid system for your PHP applications.

Displaying an objects list is one of the most common tasks in web applications and probably the easiest one. So how can this library help you?

The Datagrid system makes the styling and transforming of your data more uniform and easier to use. Secondly the system can take care of specific (styling) issues like sorting and paginating. All without duplicating code or degrading performance.

Features

RollerworksDatagrid provides you with all features needed, including:

• An Advanced column type system for uniform data transformation and styling in your datagrids.
• Auto mapping of data to the datagrid.
• Support for any data source (PHP array or any object implementing \Traversable).
• (Optional, and coming soon) search/filter using RollerworksSearch.
• (Optional, and coming soon) Integrated Paginating using Pagerfanta

Note: Passing a Pagerfanta object as data source does already work due to the IteratorAggregate implementation. The integration bridge however will make the rendering more uniform for datagrids.

Framework integration

RollerworksDatagrid can be used with any Framework of your choice, but for the best possible experience use the provided framework integration plug-ins.

• Symfony Bundle
• ZendFramework2 Plugin (coming soon)
• Silex Plugin (coming soon)

Your favorite framework not listed? No problem, see the [Contributing Guidelines] on how you can help!

Installation and usage

Please ignore the instructions below if your use a framework integration. [Read the Documentation for master] for complete instructions and information.

Install the RollerworksDatagrid "core" library using [Composer]:

$ composer install rollerworks/datagrid

And create the DatagridFactory to get started:

use Rollerworks\Component\Datagrid\Datagrids;
use Rollerworks\Component\Datagrid\Extension\Core\Type as ColumnType;

$datagridFactory = Datagrids::createDatagridFactory();

$datagrid = $datagridFactory->createDatagridBuilder()
   ->add('id', ColumnType\NumberType::class)
   ->add('username', ColumnType\TextType::class)
   ->add('registered_on', ColumnType\DateTimeType::class)
   ->add('enabled', ColumnType\BooleanType::class, ['true_value' => 'Yes', 'false_value' => 'No'])
   ->getDatagrid('users_datagrid')
;

// Now set the data for the grid, this cannot be changed afterwards.
$datagrid->setData([
    ['id' => 1, 'username' => 'sstok', 'registered_on' => new \DateTime('2017-01-12 14:26:00 CET'), 'enabled' => true], 
    ['id' => 2, 'username' => 'doctorw', 'registered_on' => new \DateTime('1980-04-12 09:26:00 CET'), 'enabled' => false], 
    // etc...
]);

// Almost done, the datagrid needs to be rendered, see bellow.

Rendering

The core package however doesn't provide an implementation for this, you are free to use any compatible template engine you wish.

This example uses the TwigRendererEngine (which needs to be installed separately).

use Rollerworks\Component\Datagrid\Twig\Extension\DatagridExtension;
use Rollerworks\Component\Datagrid\Twig\Renderer\TwigRenderer;
use Rollerworks\Component\Datagrid\Twig\Renderer\TwigRendererEngine;

// Provide the path to the base theme.
$loader = new \Twig_Loader_Filesystem([...]);

$environment = new \Twig_Environment($loader);
$environment->addExtension(new DatagridExtension());
$environment->addRuntimeLoader(new \Twig_FactoryRuntimeLoader([TwigRenderer::class => function () uses ($environment) {
    // The second argument are filenames of datagrid themes.
    $rendererEngine = new TwigRendererEngine($environment, ['datagrid.html.twig']);
    
    return new TwigRenderer($rendererEngine);
}]));

$environment->render('my_page.html.twig', ['datagrid' => $datagrid->createView()]);

And in the my_page.html.twig twig Template simple use:

{{ rollerworks_datagrid(datagrid) }}

That's it! Your datagrid is now rendered, but not only that! Whenever you use an advanced technique like search you only need this much code in your template.
