Installation

Minify and add src/Grid.js and src/Grid.css to your website's resources directory. You can change some of the styling in Grid.css to suit your needs.

Usage

Create a div element with an id attribute and preferably a fixed width and height:

<div id="myGrid" style="width:800px;height:360px;"></div>

Initialize the grid using Javascript:

var gridData = {
      Head : [["Header 1", "Header 2", "Header 3"]], 
      Body : [["Row 1, Cell 1", "Row 1, Cell 2", "Row 1, Cell 3"], 
              ["Row 2, Cell 1", "Row 2, Cell 2", "Row 2, Cell 3"], 
              ["Row 3, Cell 1", "Row 3, Cell 2", "Row 3, Cell <em>3</em>"]]
    };

new Grid("myGrid", {
  srcType : "json", 
  srcData : gridData, 
  allowGridResize : true, 
  allowColumnResize : true, 
  allowClientSideSorting : true, 
  allowSelections : true, 
  allowMultipleSelections : true, 
  showSelectionColumn : true, 
  fixedCols : 1
});

Grid data can also be in XML format or retrieved from the DOM:

<table id="myGridTable">
  <thead>
    <tr><td>Header 1</td><td>Header 2</td><td>Header 3</td></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td>Row 1, Cell 1</td><td>Row 1, Cell 2</td><td>Row 1, Cell 3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Row 2, Cell 1</td><td>Row 2, Cell 2</td><td>Row 2, Cell 3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Row 3, Cell 1</td><td>Row 3, Cell 2</td><td>Row 3, Cell <em>3</em></td></tr> <!-- In XML the <em> tags would be escaped -->
  </tbody>
</table>

See the demo source code for a full example.

Options

srcType
String. Must be either "dom", "json" or "xml". For best performance use "json". If using "dom", make sure to wrap your table rows in <thead>, <tbody> and <tfoot> elements.
Default is "".

srcData
Variable. If srcType is "dom", an HTMLTableElement or string ID for an HTMLTableElement is accepted. If srcType is "json", a json string or object is accepted. If srcType is "xml", an xml string or document is accepted.
Default is "".

allowGridResize
Boolean. Whether or not the user can resize the grid.
Default is false.

allowColumnResize
Boolean. Whether or not the user can resize columns. Disabled automatically in touch devices.
Default is false.

allowClientSideSorting
Boolean. Whether or not the user can sort column data. For ajax-based sorting set this to false and integrate something custom yourself. Note you can use HTML within the grid data input to add ID's, events, etc.
Default is false.

allowSelections
Boolean. Whether or not the user can select rows.
Default is false.

allowMultipleSelections
Boolean. Wether or not the user can select multiple rows. allowSelections must be true if this option is set to true.
Default is false.

showSelectionColumn
Boolean. Whether or not to show a radio or checkbox column in the grid to aid in row selection. allowSelections must be true if this option is set to true.
Default is false.

onColumnSort Function. If allowClientSideSorting is true, this function will be called immediately after a user sorts a column. Returned in arguments are an array of the new row indexes order with their prior index order values, the sorted column index and the prior sorted column index if it exists. To sort a column programmatically, call the myGridInstanceObject.sortColumn((int) columnIndex, (boolean) sortAscending) method.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onResizeGrid
Function. If allowGridResize is true, this function will be called as the user resizes the grid. Returned in arguments are the current width and height of the grid in pixels.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onResizeGridEnd
Function. If allowGridResize is true, this function will be called after the user finishes resizing the grid. Returned in arguments are the new width and height of the grid in pixels.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onResizeColumn
Function. If allowColumnResize is true, this function will be called as the user resizes a column. Returned in arguments are the column index and current width of the column in pixels.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onResizeColumnEnd
Function. If allowColumnResize is true, this function will be called after the user finishes resizing a column. Returned in arguments are the column index and new width of the column in pixels.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onRowSelect
Function. If allowSelections is true, this function will be called after the user selects one or more (shift key) rows. Returned in arguments are an array of newly selected row indexes, an array of newly unselected row indexes and the row index which was clicked on. To access all of the currently selected row indexes, look at the myGridInstanceObject.selectedIndexes array. To select or unselect all rows, call the myGridInstanceObject.toggleSelectAll(boolean) method. To select one or more rows in particular, call the myGridInstanceObject.selectIndexes(arrayOfRowIndexes) method.
Default is a function that does nothing.

onLoad
Function. This function will be called after the grid finishes loading. No arguments are returned.
Default is a function that does nothing.

supportMultipleGridsInView
Boolean. Whether or not the grid code should support multiple grids in the same window. By default this is set to false for performance gain in CSS selectors.
Default is false.

fixedCols
Integer. The number of columns to fix starting from the leftmost column. If showSelectionColumn is true this option will automatically increment by 1. Disabled automatically in touch devices.
Default is 0.

selectedBgColor
String. The color value to set as the background color for selected rows. allowSelections must be true for this option to be used.
Default is "#eaf1f7".

fixedSelectedBgColor
String. The color value to set as the background color for selected, fixed rows. allowSelections must be true and fixedCols > 0 for this option to be used.
Default is "#dce7f0".

colAlign
Array. An array of strings specifying column text alignment. colAlign[0] specifies the 1st column's text alignment, and so forth. Accepted array values are "left", "center" and "right".
Default is "left" for every column.

colBGColors
Array. An array of strings specifying column background color. colBGColors[0] specifies the 1st column's background color, and so forth.
Default is "#ffffff" for every column.

colSortTypes

Accepted array values are "string", "number", "date", "custom" and "none". Use "none" to disable sorting for a particular column.
Default is "string" for every column except the column created by setting showSelectionColumn to true.

customSortCleaner
Function. If a column sort type specified in colSortTypes is set to "custom", this function will be called on every cell value within the column being sorted. ie, it is used within Javascript's native sort() function. Returned in arguments are the cell value and the column index being sorted on. You may want to use this option, for example, to sanitize formatted numbers for sorting comparisons.
Default is null.
