Greentable

Greentable produces HTML tables from an array without you having to deal with any HTML elements. Greentable is an declarative approach to HTML tables and adds additional export features.

Installation

gem 'greentable'

Greentable works for Rails 3.x and Rails 4.x

Usage

To produce a table from an array of elements, do the following in a view:

=greentable(users) do |gt,user|
  - gt.col('NAME') do
    =user.name
  - gt.col('EMAIL') do
    =user.email

which will produce the following html:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>NAME</th>
          <th>EMAIL</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Joe Ruby</td>
            <td>jruby@example.com</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Donald Rails</td>
            <td>drails@example.com</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Options

Both greentable and greentable.col may be called with an optional hash

=greentable(array, class: 'table_class') do |gt, el|
  -gt.col('col0', th: {class: 'th_class'}) do
    =el.col0
  -gt.col('col1', td: {class: 'td_class'}) do
    =el.col1

will produce

<table class="table_class"">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th class="th_class">col0</th>
            <th>col1</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>...</td>
            <td class="td_class">...</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

A comprehensive example:

note how gt.col(class: 'h') below is applied to both TH and TD elements

=greentable(array, class: 'a aa', style: 'b:c', tr: {class: 'd'}, th: {onclick: 'e();'}, td: {class: 'f', 'data-target' => 'g'} ) do |gt, el|
  -gt.col('col0', class: 'h', th: {class: 'i'}) do
    =el.col0
  -gt.col('col1', td: {class: 'j'}) do
    =el.col1

will produce

<table class="a aa" style="b:c">
    <thead>
        <tr class="d">
            <th onclick="e();" class="ee h i">col0</th>
            <th onclick="e();" class="ee">col1</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr class="d">
            <td data-target="f" class="ff h">0</td>
            <td data-target="f" class="ff j">0</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

If you need column names or options to be dynamic, you can use procs:

=greentable(years) do |gt,year|
  -gt.col('Year') do
    =year.to_s
  -4.times do |week|
    -gt.col(Proc.new{ week % 2 == 0 ? 'An even week' : 'An odd week' }, td: {style: Proc.new{ year % 2 == 1 ? 'background-color:red' : nil }} ) do
      =week

will produce

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Year</th>
            <th>An even week</th>
            <th>An odd week</th>
            <th>An even week</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>2013</td>
            <td>0</td>
            <td style='background-color:red'>1</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td style='background-color:red'>3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>2014</td>
            <td>0</td>
            <td style='background-color:red'>1</td>
            <td>2</td>
            <td style='background-color:red'>3</td>
        </tr>
        ...
    </tbody>
</table>

Counter Object

Sometimes, you'll need to know what row you're currently on. For that purpose Greentable exposes a counter object:

=greentable([x,y,z]) do |gt, el|
  -gt.col('i') do
    =gt.counter.i
  -gt.col('first?') do
    =gt.counter.first?
  -gt.col('last?') do
    =gt.counter.last?
  -gt.col('odd?') do
    =gt.counter.odd?
  -gt.col('even?') do
    =gt.counter.even?

will produce

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>i</th>
            <th>first?</th>
            <th>last?</th>
            <th>odd?</th>
            <th>even?</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>0</td>
            <td>true</td>
            <td>false</td>
            <td>true</td>
            <td>false</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>1</td>
            <td>false</td>
            <td>false</td>
            <td>false</td>
            <td>true</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>2</td>
            <td>false</td>
            <td>true</td>
            <td>true</td>
            <td>false</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Greentable Footer

Sometimes, you'll need to display a total (or whathaveyou) at the end:

=greentable(products) do |gt, product|
  -gt.footer(class: 'a', style: 'border-top: 2px solid black;', tr: {class: 'footer_tr_class'}) do |footer|
    -footer.col do
      Total
    -footer.col(style: 'font-weight: bold;') do
      $3.14

  -gt.col('name') do
    =product
  -gt.col('price') do
    =product.price

will produce

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>name</th>
            <th>price</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>ProductA</td>
            <td>$2.11</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>ProductB</td>
            <td>$1.03</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
    <tfoot>
        <tr class='footer_tr_class'>
            <td class='a' style='border-top: 2px solid black;'>Total</td>
            <td class='a' style='border-top: 2px solid black; font-weight: bold;'>$3.14</td>
        </tr>
    </tfoot>
</table>

Subtotal, shipping, tax, total? No problem:

=greentable(order.order_line_items) do |gt, order_line_item|
  -gt.footer([:subtotal, :shipping, :tax, :total], class: 'klass') do |footer, attr|
    -footer.col do
      =attr
    -footer.col do
      =order.send(attr)

  -gt.col('name') do
    =order_line_item.name
  -gt.col('price') do
    =order_line_item.price

will produce

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>name</th>
            <th>price</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>ProductA</td>
            <td>$2.11</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>ProductB</td>
            <td>$1.03</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
    <tfoot>
        <tr>
            <td class='klass'>subtotal</td>
            <td class='klass'>xyz</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class='klass'>shipping</td>
            <td class='klass'>xyz</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class='klass'>tax</td>
            <td class='klass'>xyz</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class='klass'>total</td>
            <td class='klass'>xyz</td>
        </tr>
    </tfoot>
</table>

Global Defaults

You can configure global defaults for all your greentables.

In config/initializers/greentable.rb

Greentable.configure do |config|
  config.defaults = {class: 'myTableClass', tr: {class: 'myTrClass'}, th: {style: 'cursor:pointer'}, td: {class: 'pi', onclick: 'alert(3.14159265359)'}}
end

and in some view:

<%= greentable([3.14]) do |gt,element| %>
    <%  gt.col('First Column') do %>
        <%= element %>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

will produce

<table class='myTableClass'>
    <thead>
        <tr class='myTrClass'>
          <th style='cursor:pointer'>First Column</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr class='myTrClass'>
            <td class='pi' onclick='alert(3.14159265359)'>3.14</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Green Export & Green Printing

Greentable enables you to export or print your greentable data for download in various formats seamlessly by a rack middleware. Add a couple of http query parameters in your view and your done:

<a href="/?greentable_export=csv&greentable_id=greentable_id">Export CSV</a>
|
<a href="/?greentable_export=print&greentable_id=greentable_id">Print</a>

<%= greentable([0], :id => 'greentable_id') do |gt, el| %>
    <% gt.col('i') do %>
        <%= el %>
    <% end %>
    <% gt.col('i+1') do %>
        <%= el + 1 %>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

Green Export and Green Printing requires Nokogiri to be installed. Add 'nokogiri' as a gem dependency to your project if you want to use greentable's export or printing feature

Available Query Parameters

greentable_id=any string [REQUIRED]. A unique html tag id to tell the rack middleware which greentable to extract.
greentable_export=csv | print [REQUIRED]. csv will produce a CSV file. Headers will be the table headers. Colspans are honored (row spans are not). print will extract the green table by id and insert a javascript snippet to print the doc
```
  window.onload = function() { window.focus(); window.print(); }
```
Any css styling done within the html HEAD will remain. Anything within the BODY will be replaced with the greentable content.
greentable_export_filename=any string [OPTIONAL]. default: 'export.csv'. Specifies the filename in the Content-Disposition header. Only used if greentable_export=csv
