Overview of GigaTables API and features

Basic knowledge

To create simple instance of GigaTables one should create javascript (with lniked JQuery of course) like:

        $('#gigatable').GigaTable({
          struct: {// all in
            search: ['top', 'bottom'],
            rowsSelector: ['asc', 'top', 'bottom'],
            pagination: ['bottom']
          },
          ajax: 'gigatables.php',
          columns: [
            {data: "id"},
            {data: "desc"},
            {data: "title"},
            {data: "date"},
            {data: "types"},
            {data: "info"}
          ]
        });   

Where:

• "#gigatable" is the id of a <table> tag,
• struct is the basic structure of a layout with it`s features (ex.: search box, pagination etc.),
• ajax element contains the main script, that will load table content
• columns actual columns for a table

HTML table structure skeleton, that matches former configuration:

    <table id="gigatable">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>ID</th>
          <th>Name</th>
          <th>Description</th>
          <th>Date</th>
          <th>Types</th>
          <th>Info</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tfoot>
        <tr>
          <th>ID</th>
          <th>Name</th>
          <th>Description</th>
          <th>Date</th>
          <th>Types</th>
          <th>Info</th>
        </tr>
    </tfoot>
  </table>

Make sure they fit together (html table columns and json columns), it may run anyway, but the results and Your experience will be cleaner and better if they will.
