Table Field

The table field.

The table field is useful when you have an array of data objects that have a uniform structure. It provides a condensed and table-based way of viewing data. In editable mode, each table field has a toolbar at the top for adding new rows. Each row in the table has an action bar.

The table field is an extension of the ArrayField and so all array field configuration options apply.

Example 1

Table field for an array of text items.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 2

Here is a more advanced table with a few additional control types. We wrap the form with a button that hands back the underlying JSON.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 3

Here is a table with the data shown in display mode. When in display mode, the table does not show it's actions or toolbar buttons.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 4

Here is a table with the data shown in read-only. When in read-only mode, the table does not show it's actions or toolbar buttons.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 5

The table field uses the esteemed Data Tables Plugin, if available, to format the table and provide additional interaction features. You can use the options.datatables field to pass configuration information to the underlying Data Tables Plugin. You can also set options.datatables to false to disable the Plugin.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 6

You can disable the actions column by setting showActionsColumn to false.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 7

Mix table with interesting control types for inline editing. Here, we maintain a rank property that auto-updates as fields move around. The "Show JSON" button in the form lets us see the resulting JSON for the table.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 8

Adding and removing rows dynamically using setValue.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 9

Drag-and-drop support for draggable table row re-ordering using the dragRows option. Set dragRows to true to enable draggable rows within your table.

NOTE: This feature currently requires the datatables.net-rowreorder plugin as well as the core datatables.net library.

See the DataTables RowReorder Plugin for more information.

If you run into problems with the placement of the draggable overlay, you may need to force absolute positioning of the overlay like this:

.table.dt-rowReorder-float
{
    position: absolute !important;
}

NOTE: This feature is experimental and may change in the future. We're not altogether that happy with the DataTables RowReorder Plugin and may seek to implement differently. However, the dragRows option will continue to work as it does currently and will be supported in the future.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}
