  A tiny table

What is teeble?

Teeble is a set of Backbone views and collection abstractions around backbone.paginator.

You are able to page, sort and filter your data easily by creating views that pass events to backbone.paginator

Getting Started

Download the production version or the development version.

Documentation

Collections

Currently you can choose from server-side processing of the pagination, filtering and sorting (Teeble.ServerCollection) or client-side (Teeble.ClientCollection). Extending your Backbone collection from one of these base collections will set it up to use all of the backbone.paginator methods

Views

TableView

Teeble's main controller is the TableView. This view contains all of the major event bindings and is in charge of rendering all of the subviews. You can extend this view to provide additional options, methods, events, etc.

TableView Parameters

table_class: optional class on the table element
subviews: optional overrides
partials
collection
footer
compile

Teeble Subviews

HeaderView: view that renders the header
FooterView: view the render the footer
RowView: view that renders each row
PaginationView: view that renders the pagination controls
EmptyView: view that is rendered if there is no data in the collection

Each of these views can be extended or overridden completely by passing them using the subviews parameter to the TableView or setting them explicitly in your extended TableView

Table Renderer

Teeble's table-renderer builds templates from partial definitions and renders the different parts of the view. These partials are defined in the partials parameter which allows you to define templates (header, cell, footer) for each column of the table. This allows you to update your table templates on the fly to do things like add, remove and rearrange columns. The renderer can also be extended or overwritten in the same way as the subviews

Examples

Netflix has shut down their OData API, so our server-side paging example doesn't fully work.

Contributing

In lieu of a formal style-guide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.

Also, please don't edit files in the "dist" subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the "lib" subdirectory!

TODOs

Tests
Simpler templating option for less complex tables
Abstract the table renderer for other templating languages
