HTML Export Type

This plugin outputs the data in HTML format. You can either choose to output the data in a <table>, a <ul> or <dl>'s, or if you're feeling really fancy, you can control the exact output via a custom Smarty template. The latter's intended for advanced users and requires knowledge of the PHP Smarty templating language

Example API Usage

Try POSTing the following JSON content to the following URL: http://[your site]/[generate data folder]/api/v1/data

{
    "numRows": 10,
    "rows": [
        {
            "type": "AutoIncrement",
            "title": "Row",
            "settings": {
                "incrementStart": 1,
                "incrementValue": 1
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "Names",
            "title": "name",
            "settings": {
                "placeholder": "Name Initial. Surname"
            }
        }
    ],
    "export": {
        "type": "HTML",
        "settings": {
            "exportFormat": "table"
        }
    }
}

Custom template example

Here's a second example that uses a custom Smarty template to customize the generated HTML. Note: the inconvenient thing about using the API for this is that you need to serialize the template into a single line. Yeah, that's a pain.

{
    "numRows": 10,
    "rows": [
        {
            "type": "AutoIncrement",
            "title": "Row",
            "settings": {
                "incrementStart": 1,
                "incrementValue": 1
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "Names",
            "title": "name",
            "settings": {
                "placeholder": "Name Initial. Surname"
            }
        }
    ],
    "export": {
        "type": "HTML",
        "settings": {
            "exportFormat": "custom",
            "customTemplate": "{if $isFirstBatch}<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tr>\n{foreach $colData as $col}  <th>{$col}</th>\n{/foreach}\n</tr>\n{/if}{foreach $rowData as $row}<tr>\n{foreach $row as $r}  <td>{$r}</td>\n{/foreach}</tr>\n{/foreach}{if $isLastBatch}</table>{/if}"
        }
    }
}
