Laravel integration for the Grid.js

This package is a Laravel integration for the Grid.js. The packages makes it easy to create data-grid for your Laravel application, for example admin panel lists. It covers the basic server side functionalities for Grid.js like search, sorting and pagination.

Demo

Please find the demo of the application here and the source code of the demo application here;

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require wdev-rs/laravel-datagrid

Install the Vue.js integration (install the 4.0 version, the 5.0 doesn't work with the laravel-datagrid due to a bug in gridjs-vue):

npm install gridjs-vue@^4.0.0

Publish the vendor files by running

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="WdevRs\LaravelDatagrid\LaravelDatagridServiceProvider"

import './vendor/laravel-datagrid/laravel-datagrid';

Usage

The base of this package is the \WdevRs\LaravelDatagrid\DataGrid\DataGrid class. This class is used to define the columns and the behavior of the datagrid. While you can use this class directly from the controller, I'll suggest extending it and create separate classes for each datagrid.

class CategoriesDataGrid extends DataGrid
{

    /**
     * CategoriesDataGrid constructor.
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->fromQuery(Category::query())
            ->column('id', 'ID', null, 50)
            ->column('name', 'Name', function ($category) {
                return view('admin.categories.actions.edit_link', ['category' => $category])->render();
            })
    }
}

Using the fromQuery method you can define what should be the base query for the DataGrid. It accepts a Laravel Query Builder object. The column method is used to define the columns of the DataGrid, the argument are as follows:

id - the name of the field in the database
name - the label which should appear in the DataGrid column header
formatter - optional, callable allows you to format the display of the column. As you can see from the above example probably the most elegant way to do this is to include a blade view and render it.
width - optional, the with of the column

Data sources

You can create data grid from different data sources:

Eloquent queries - use the fromQuery() method
Collections - use the fromCollection() method
Arrays - use the fromArray() method

When the DataGrid definition is ready, you can add it to the controller:

    public function index(CategoriesDataGrid $dataGrid, Request $request)
    {
        return $dataGrid->render();
    }

If the render method is called without arguments it will use the default view resources/views/vendor/laravel-datagrid/datagrid.blade.php, or you can pass your own view and include the DataGrid blade file there:

    public function index(CategoriesDataGrid $dataGrid, Request $request)
    {
        return $dataGrid->render('admin.common.index');
    }

Frontend customisations

The frontend component of the DataGrid can be found in the resources/js/vendor/laravel-datagrid/components/DataGrid.vue By default DataGrid comes with one row action, which is the delete action. This action can be found in the following file: resources/js/vendor/laravel-datagrid/actions/delete.js

You can extend it with more custom actions by creating them based on the existing one. To add the to the datagrid, extend the cols definition in the DataGrid.vue:

            cols: this.columns.map((col) => {col.formatter = (cell) => html(cell); return col;}).concat(
                [{
                    name: 'Actions',
                    sort: false,
                    width: 50,
                    formatter: (cell, row) => {
                        return h('div', {className: "text-center"},
                            deleteAction.call(this, row.cells[0].data,row.cells[1].data),
                            yourCustomAction.call(this, row.cells[0].data,row.cells[1].data)
                        )
                    }
                }]
            )

Upgrade from Laravel DataGrid 0.3

Update the vendor assets using --force option:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="WdevRs\LaravelDatagrid\LaravelDatagridServiceProvider" --force

Update the usage of the data-grid component to pass the rows property:

<data-grid
    base-url={{$baseUrl}}
    :columns="{{json_encode($columns)}}"
    :rows="{{json_encode($rows)}}"
></data-grid>

Testing
