/dgrid

A lightweight, mobile-ready, data-driven, modular grid widget designed for use with dstore

Primary LanguageJavaScriptOtherNOASSERTION

The dgrid project provides widgets for lists of data, including simple sets of scrolling rows, grids of data, on-demand lazy-loaded data, and various mixins for additional functionality.

dgrid is available under the "New" BSD License.

Installation

Install from npm

dgrid and its dependencies can be installed via npm using the following command:

npm install dgrid dojo-dstore

Note that by default, npm installs to a node_modules subdirectory.

If you are using Dojo widgets, you may want to include dijit and dojox:

npm install dgrid dojo-dstore dijit dojox

By default, npm will automatically find the highest tagged version of each component and install it along with its dependencies.

Manual Download

Alternatively, dgrid and its dependencies can be downloaded individually:

  • dstore >= 1.0.3 or 1.1.1, for store-backed grids
  • The Dojo Toolkit SDK >= 1.8.2
    • Out of the DTK components, Dojo core is the only hard dependency for dgrid; however, some of the test pages also use components from Dijit, and Dojox (namely grid for a comparison test, and mobile for a mobile page).

It is recommended to arrange all dependencies as siblings, resulting in a directory structure like the following:

  • dgrid
  • dijit (optional, dependency of some dgrid tests/components)
  • dojo
  • dojox (optional, dependency of some dgrid tests)
  • dstore
  • util (optional, e.g. if pursuing a custom build)

CDN

unpkg offers CDN hosting of raw tagged git URLs. It can serve any version of dgrid and dstore.

For example, here's a packages configuration for dgrid 1.1.0 and dstore 1.1.1:

packages: [
    {
        name: 'dgrid',
        location: '//unpkg.com/dgrid@1.1.0/'
    },
    {
        name: 'dstore',
        location: '//unpkg.com/dojo-dstore@1.1.1/'
    }
]
