Easy Data Table Generator with 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 package managers.

# Yarn
$ yarn add tabulator-tables

# NPM
$ npm i tabulator-tables

2. Import the Tabulator library and optional stylesheet as follows:

<!-- 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>

// OR As An ES Module
mport {TabulatorFull as Tabulator} from 'tabulator-tables';
@import  "~/tabulator-tables/dist/css/tabulator.min.css"; 

// OR Use ESM Import
import {Tabulator} from 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/js/tabulator_esm.min.js';

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,
    columns:[
      {title:"Name", field:"name", maxWidth:200},
      {title:"Age", field:"age"},
      {title:"Gender", field:"gender"},
      {title:"Height", field:"height", maxWidth:80},
      {title:"Favourite Color", field:"col"},
      {title:"Date Of Birth", field:"dob"},
      {title:"Likes Cheese", field:"cheese"},
      {title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"image", formatterParams:{urlPrefix:"http://website.com/images/"}}
    ]
    // configuration options here
});

6. Append multi-level context menus to the table.

var table = new Tabulator("#myTable", {
    rowContextMenu: [{
        label: "Hide Column",
        action: function (e, column) {
          column.hide();
        }
      },
      {
        label: "Sub Menu" //sub menu
        menu: [{
            label: "Do Something"
            action: function (e, column) {
              //do something
            }
          },
          {
            label: "Do Something Else"
            action: function (e, column) {
              //do something else
            }
          },
          {
            label: "Deeper Sub Menu" //sub menu nested in sub menu
            menu: [{
              label: "Do Another Thing"
              action: function (e, column) {
                //do another thing
              }
            }, ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
});

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({
  data:[
    {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"},
  ],
  columns:[
    {title:"Name", field:"name", maxWidth:200},
    {title:"Age", field:"age"},
    {title:"Gender", field:"gender"},
    {title:"Height", field:"height", maxWidth:80},
    {title:"Favourite Color", field:"col"},
    {title:"Date Of Birth", field:"dob"},
    {title:"Likes Cheese", field:"cheese"},
    {title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"image", formatterParams:{urlPrefix:"http://website.com/images/"}}
  ]
});

Changelog:

v5.4.2 (2022-10-17)

• Fixed regression in grouped rows module that resulted in a console error when editing a cell when the groupUpdateOnCellEdit option was used
• Movable columns now correctly scroll the header when moving columns off the visible area of the table
• The scrollToColumn function and column component scrollTo function now work when using grouped columns
• The default columnCalcs option value of true now correctly hides the table column calculations when grouping is enabled, even when the group by value isnt in an array
