How to specify the column and data property when a property is another object

[sridhargoshika]

The outer object has properties name, id, age, and company. The company property is another object with properties name and location.

    var table = jexcel(document.getElementById('spreadsheet'), {        
    data:[
        { name:'Jorge', id:'3', age:'40',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
        { name:'Robert', id:'4', age:'48',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
        { name:'Santos', id:'5', age:'32',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
    ],
    columns: [
        { type:'text', width:300, name:'id', title:'id' },
        { type:'text', width:100, name:'name', title:'name' },
        { type:'text', width:100, name:'age', title:'age' },
        { type:'text', width:100, data:'company.name', title:'company name' },
        { type:'text', width:100, data:'company.location', title:'company location' },
     ]
});

and the result table looks like this:

customizing the script by using a method updateTable should work.

data = [
{ name:'Jorge', id:'3', age:'40',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
{ name:'Robert', id:'4', age:'48',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
{ name:'Santos', id:'5', age:'32',company:{name:'nokia',location:'us'} },
];

jspreadsheet(document.getElementById('my-spreadsheet'), {
data:data,
allowInsertColumn: false,
columns: [
{ type:'text', width:50, name:'id', title:'id' },
{ type:'text', width:100, name:'name', title:'name' },
{ type:'text', width:50, name:'age', title:'age' },        
{ type:'object', width:100, data:'company.name', title:'company name' },
{ type:'text', width:100, data:'company.location', title:'company location' },
 ],
 updateTable:function(instance, cell, col, row, val, label, cellName) {
 if (col == 3) {
   //alert(JSON.stringify(val));
    cell.innerHTML = val.name;
    }
   }
});

You can use that, on the Pro version there is a feature call data binding.
