==========
[](#chtmltable)
A HTML helper written in PHP to create a html table. Written for Anax-MVC.
First version includes the class `SimpleHTMLTable.php` and an example file in webroot folder, `simplehtmltable.php`.
To install with Composer and Packagist add chtmltable to your composer.json file in Anax.
```
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4",
"meax/chtmltable": "dev-master"
},
```
Move the example file `simplehtmltable` into your Anax installation's webroot folder.
How to build a table
--------------------
[](#how-to-build-a-table)
Method `createTable($columns, $data)`
Accepts a multiarray `$columns` representing the header row and the columns of the table.
Accepts a multiarray or object `$data` which represents the rows of the table.
**Example `$columns`**
```
$columns = array([
'name' => 'name',
'label' => 'Name',
],
[
'name' => 'id',
'label' => 'Id',
]);
```
'name' - a value referring to a key in object or array `$data`
'label' - the label to be placed in between the tags.
**Example `$data`**
```
$data = array(
1 => [
'name' => 'Maria',
'id' => '1'
],
2 => [
'name' => 'Anon',
'id' => '2'
],
);
```
Will result in a table:
| **Name**| **Id** |
| Maria | 1 |
| Anon | 2 |
\###Creating links for column data
It is possible to create links for all cells in a column according to a linkpattern given in 'linkbase' and 'linkkey'. 'linkbase' is a static base url for the links and 'linkkey' can be defined to locate a key in the array or object `$data`.
**Example**
```
$columns = array([
'name' => 'fruits',
'label' => 'Fruits',
],
[
'name' => 'animals',
'label' => 'Animals',
'linkbase' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/',
'linkkey' => 'animals',
],
);
$data = array(
1 => [
'fruits' => 'Apple',
'animals' => 'Horse'
],
2 => [
'fruits' => 'Banana',
'animals' => 'Monkey'
],
);
```
\###Converting column data
With the help of the method `getDisplayVal($val, $displaytype, $format)` it is possible to convert values from the array/object `$data` into another display value. This version supports converting true/false, 1/0, emtpy/not empty into simply "Yes" or "No". It also supports converting a date string into another date format.
```
$columns = array([
'name' => 'date',
'label' => 'Date',
'display' => 'convert-datestr',
'displayformat' => 'Y-m-d',
],
[
'name' => 'title',
'label' => 'Title',
],
[
'name' => 'published',
'label' => 'Published',
'display' => 'yes-no',
],
);
$data = array(
1 => [
'date' => '2015-05-15 12:14',
'title' => 'A blog post',
'published' => true,
],
2 => [
'date' => '2015-05-16 13:15',
'title' => 'Another post',
'published' => false,
],
);
```
Have a look at the example file simplehtmltable.php to see what creating links and converting data looks like.
