Full-featured Dynamic Data Grid In Vanilla JavaScript – jsdatatable

jsdatatable is a simple JavaScript plugin to dynamically render a data table from any data defined in the JavaScript or JSON.

With support for sorting, pagination, live search, cell editing and much more.

How to use it:

To get started, include the jsdatatable’s JavaScript and Stylesheet on the page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./src/simple-table.css" />
<script src="./src/simple-table.js"></script>

Create an empty table on the page.

<table id="table">
  <thead style="cursor: pointer"></thead>
  <tbody></tbody>
</table>

Create a search field that allows the user to filter through table rows by keywords.

<input type="text" id="table-search" placeholder="Search" />

Create pagination controls at the bottom of the table.

<button class="btn" id="table-last-page" disabled>Last Page</button>
<button class="btn" id="table-next-page" disabled>Next Page</button>

Prepare your data in the JavaScript as follows:

• order: ‘asc’ or ‘desc’
• searchEnabled: enable/disable live search
• sortEnabled: enable/disable sorting
• type: data type for sorting
• editEnabled: enable/disable cell editing

const myData = {
      header: [
          { name: 'Name', order: 'asc', searchEnabled: true, sortEnabled: true, defaultSort: true, editEnabled: true },
          { name: 'Gender', order: 'desc', sortEnabled: true },
          { name: 'Age', order: 'asc', sortEnabled: true, type: 'number' },
          { name: 'Balance', order: 'desc', sortEnabled: true, type: 'number' },
          { name: 'Company', order: 'asc', sortEnabled: true, searchEnabled: true },
          { name: 'Email', order: 'asc', sortEnabled: true, searchEnabled: true },
          { name: 'Phone', order: 'asc', sortEnabled: true, searchEnabled: true },
          { name: 'Address', searchEnabled: true, editEnabled: true },

      currentPage: 0, 
      removeButton: true
}

Render a data table on the page.

const table = document.querySelector('#table');
Table.init(table, myData, myOptions);
