It was created as part of the course DV1486 Databased Web Applications with PHP and MVC framework at Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. It is intended to be used with [Anax MVC](https://github.com/mosbth/Anax-MVC), but is not dependent on it. It can be included in any other project. How to install -------------- [](#how-to-install) To install CTable from Packagist, put this line in your `composer.json` file: ``` "require": { ... "vesihiisi/ctable": "dev-master" } ``` If you're using Anax-MVC, you can use the example files included in this repository to test how CTable works with the framework. Put the pagecontroller `webroot/tables.php` and the stylesheet `css/tables.css` in your own webroot directory and point your browser to the controller. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) ### How to create a table [](#how-to-create-a-table) The data that you want to display in a table should be an array of arrays. Each inside array corresponds to one table row. Together, all the rows are collected in an outside array: ``` $rows = array( array("Row 1 value 1", "Row 1 value 2", "Row 1 value 3", "Row 1 value 4",), array("Row 2 value 1", "Row 2 value 2", "Row 2 value 3", "Row 2 value 4",), array("Row 3 value 1", "Row 3 value 2", "Row 3 value 3", "Row 3 value 4",), array("Row 4 value 1", "Row 4 value 2", "Row 4 value 3", "Row 4 value 4",), array("Row 5 value 1", "Row 5 value 2", "Row 5 value 3", "Row 5 value 4",), ); ``` Then you might want to add the table headings, also as an array. It is not necessary, though – if you fail to do so, the first row of your data will be used as headings. ``` $headers = array( "Header 1", "Header 2", "Header 3", "Header 4", ); ``` You can now create the table object and feed it in your data. This is how it would be done in Anax MVC: ``` $table = new \Vesihiisi\CTable\CTable([ 'rows' => $rows, 'headers' => $headers, ]); ``` Once the object is created, you can also add new rows one by one: ``` $table->addRow(["Extra row value 1", "Extra row value 2", "Extra row value 3", "Extra row value 4"]); ``` Finally, in order to actually render the table, you must use the object's View() method and display the result in your view: ``` $app->views->add('default/page', [ 'content' => $table->View(), 'title' => "Demonstration of tables in HTML" ]); ``` ### Optional elements [](#optional-elements) There is a number of optional elements that you might want to add to your table. **Footer** content can be defined before creating the object. Then, you feed it to the object, just like you did with the `$data` and `$headers` variables: ``` $footer = array( "Footer 1", "Footer 2", "Footer 3", "Footer 4", ); ``` You can also define it after creating the object: ``` $table->setFooters(["Footer 1", "Footer 2", "Footer 3", "Footer 4"]); ``` **Table caption** (the `` tag) can also be created in two ways: ``` $caption = "Example data"; $table->setCaption("Example data"); ``` **CSS classes and ID** can be added to the `` tag. Those can also be created in two ways: ``` $classes = array( "someClass", "anotherClass", ); $id = "table01"; $table->setClass(["someClass", "anotherClass"]); $table->setID("table01"); ``` License ------- [](#license) This software is free software and carries a MIT license.
