codeigniter4-datatables

This is an extension for CodeIgniter 4.2.x to add Datatables support to your application.

Warning: this is a non-functional experimental version!

The purpose is to generate the html table and the javascript function for its management with a few lines of code.

It is possible to define a model to be passed as a dependency in the constructor; this model will be used for the management of columns and queries.

    $userModel = new \atsanna\Models\UserModel();

    $table 	= new \atsanna\DataTables\Html\Table( $userModel );

There are many configuration possibilities:

• Enable or disable automatic calculation of column width
• Enable or disable deferred rendering for faster initialization speed
• Enable or disable the table information display field
• Enable or disable column sorting
• Enable or disable table pagination
• Layout button display options
• Enable or disable the display of a 'processing' indicator
• Enable horizontal scrolling
• Enable vertical scrolling
• Allow the table to shrink in height when a limited number of rows are displayed
• Ability to search (filter) feature control
• Enable or disable server side processing
• Enable or disable state saving
• Change the options in the page length selection list
• Set column specific initialization properties

The default configuration can be customized as follows:

    $table->getConfiguration()
            ->setPaging(true)
            ->setPagingType( 'full_numbers')
            ->setOrdering(true)
            ->setInfo(false)
            ->setSearching(true)
            ->setLengthMenu('[[10, 25, 50, 100, -1], [10, 25, 50, 100, "All"]]')
            ->setAutoWidth(false)
            ->setScrollX(true);

It is possible to customize the rendering:

    $data = [
        'id'        => $userModel->table,
        'class'     => 'table table-striped table-bordered',
        'style'     => 'width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;',
        'fields'    => $userModel->allowedFields,
    ];

    echo $table->render($data);
