SPDataTable
===========

[](#spdatatable)

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
------------

[](#installation)

```

```

Usage

[](#usage)

Basic 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.

    ['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;
    })
