Easy Data Table Generator with jQuery and JSON - Tabulator

The tabulator currently is a PURE JavaScript plugin since 4.0.

Tabulator is a feature-rich jQuery/JavaScript plugin used for generating simple or complex data tables from any JSON data, with the following additional features:

• JSON, array or AJAX data loading
• High performant large table based on virtual DOM
• Column sorting
• Custom data formatting
• Resizable columns
• Auto scaling to fit data/element
• Many theming options
• Custom click and context Events
• Callbacks at every stage of data processing and rendering
• Data filtering.

How to use it (4.0+):

1. Install it with NPM.

# NPM
$ npm install tabulator --save

2. Load the necessary JavaScript and CSS files in the html page.

<!-- Core -->
<link href="dist/css/tabulator.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="dist/js/tabulator.min.js"></script>
<!-- jQuery Wrapper Optional -->
<script src="dist/js/jquery_wrapper.min.js"></script>

3. Create a container to place the generated table.

<div id="myTable"></div>

4. Define your tabular data in an array.

var myData = [
    {id:1, name:"Oli Bob", age:"12", col:"red", dob:""},
    {id:2, name:"Mary May", age:"1", col:"blue", dob:"14/05/1982"},
    {id:3, name:"Christine Lobowski", age:"42", col:"green", dob:"22/05/1982"},
    {id:4, name:"Brendon Philips", age:"125", col:"orange", dob:"01/08/1980"},
    {id:5, name:"Margret Marmajuke", age:"16", col:"yellow", dob:"31/01/1999"},
 ];

5. Generate a basic data table from the data you provide.

var table = new Tabulator("#myTable", {
    data: myData,
    // configuration options here
});

6. All possible configuration options.

var table = new Tabulator("#myTable", {

How to use it (jQuery):

1. Load the necessary jQuery and Tabulator libraries in the html page.

<link href="dist/css/tabulator.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="dist/js/tabulator.min.js"></script>

2. Just load the jQuery Tabulator wrapper after jQuery library and we're ready to go.

<script src="jquery_wrapper.min.js"></script>

3. Generate a simple data table inside the container 'demo' from the JSON data you specify during initialization.

$("#demo").tabulator({
  columns:[
  {title:"Name", field:"name", width:200},
  {title:"Age", field:"age"},
  {title:"Gender", field:"gender"},
  {title:"Height", field:"height", width:80},
  {title:"Favourite Color", field:"col"},
  {title:"Date Of Birth", field:"dob"},
  {title:"Likes Cheese", field:"cheese"},
  ],
});
