Datagrid - A table module for Kohana 2.3.4

Datagrid is a library that is designed to quickly turn an ORM model containing some rows of data in it into an HTML table so that it can be viewed as a readable grid in a browser.

It was designed specifically for an administration system and works well as the "R" part of a CRUD scaffolding system, with the table able to provide links to creating, updating, and deleting records to complete the set.

Configuration

Datagrid is highly configurable, but getting a table up is as simple as defining a model and the columns that you want to be viewed. However you will note that in the example below the additional feature of having all ORM methods available allows us to limit our query to a particular user by directly calling this ORM method from the library.

<?php
	$config = array
	(
		'columns'	=> array
		(
			'note',
			'Created By' => 'creator->name',
			'Modified By' => 'modifier->name',
			'Created On' => 'date_created',
			'Last Modified' => 'date_modified',
		)
	);

	echo new Datagrid('note', $config)->where('user_id', 123);

Other configuration features are explained in greater depth in the datagrid config file.
