ActionableList

This is a package for Laravel 5.5 that lets you easily create tables of items, especially for administration panels. It requires PHP 7.1.

Please bear in mind that this package is under development, it is not stable for production yet. For example, new releases could introduce breaking changes. Thank you.

Install

You can easily install this package via composer:

composer require gasparilab/actionablelist

This package supports the new Laravel service provider autodiscovery, so there's no need to put it manually into the providers array in config/app.php.

If you want to customize the tables HTML code (you probably will!), you can publish the included views into your project with the following Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=actionablelist --force

This will copy the views to the resources/views/vendor/actionablelist folder of you app, so you can customize them and keep them versioned. The --force parameter overwrites any existing view with the same name, it's useful if you're updating this package from an old version.

Usage

Complete syntax for creating a Table

// Instantiate a new Table
$table = new Table();

// Add columns
$table->addColumns(['Quantity', 'Color', 'Animal']);

// Add the dataset
$table->addDataset([
    ['one', 'red', 'cat'],
    ['two', 'green', 'bird'],
    ['three', 'blue', 'dog'],
]);

// Set the formatter for a column
$table->columns[0]->setFormatter(function ($animals) {
    return 'The color is ' . $animals[1];
});

Quickly creating a Table

You can also quickly create a new Table using the static make() function. The first parameter is an array of the columns, the second parameters is an array of formatters for each column, the third parameter is the dataset.

Example: creating a table with three columns and two items inside.

$table = Table::make([
    'id' => 'ID',
    'title' => 'Title',
    'created_by' => 'Author',
], [
    function ($row) {
        return 'ID: ' . $row[0];
    },
    function ($row) {
        // Return the title
        return $row[1];
    },
    function ($row) {
        return new HtmlString('<em>The author is:</em> ' . $row[2]);
    },
], [
    [1, 'Lorem Ipsum', 'John Doe'],
    [2, 'Dolor Sit', 'Pippo Pluto'],
    // ...more rows...
]);

The Table also has a fluent interface which lets you to chain methods, like the Query Builder.

Table::addColumns($columns)->addDataset($data)->addFormatters($formatters); // ...and so on

Datasets

Datasets can be arrays, Collections, Eloquent Collections or any other iterable which also implements the ArrayAccess interface.

Printing the table inside the view

In you Blade view you can print the Table this way:

@include('actionablelist::table')
