Configuration

To save loads of messy boiler plate code clogging up Controller actions, the tables can be configured at startup. Any class that inherits TableConfigurator<TType> can be registered int the global.asax thusly:

Global.asax

```C# public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication { protected void Application_Start() { //Regular MVC Setup hoo haa ConfigureMvcTables.InTheSameAssembly.As(); } } ```

Usage - Action Method

```C# public ActionResult ListEmployees(TableRequestModel request) { var entities = new NorthwindEntities.NorthwindEntities(NorthwindServiceUrl); return new TableResult(entities.Employees, request); } ```

Auto Configuration

```C# public class CategoryTable : MvcTable { public override void Configure(ITableConfiguration config) { config .SetCssClass("table table-striped") .ScaffoldAllColumns(); } } ```

Basic Configuration

```C# public class InvoiceTable : MvcTable { public override void Configure(ITableConfiguration config) { config .SetCssClass("table table-striped") .DisplayForColumn(m => m.ProductName) .DisplayForColumn(m => m.Quantity) .DisplayForColumn(m => m.Region) .DisplayForColumn(m => m.Salesperson) .EditorForColumn(m => m.Discount); } } ```

More Complex Configuration

```C# public class OrderDetailTable : MvcTable { public override void Configure(ITableConfiguration config) { config .SetCssClass("table table-striped") .ConfigurePagingControl(p => p.ShowPagingControl(true)) .DisplayForColumn(c => c.Product.ProductName, cfg => cfg.DefineFooter((h, rows) => rows.Any() ? "Order ID: " + rows.First().OrderID : "")) .DisplayForColumn(c => c.Quantity) .DisplayForColumn(c => c.UnitPrice) .DisplayForColumn(c => c.LineTotal, cfg => cfg.DefineFooter((h,rows) => rows.Any() ? rows.Sum(od => od.LineTotal).ToString("c") : "")) .ConfigurePagingControl(p => p.ShowPagingControl(false)) .SetFilterSelector("childFilter");

        SetName("ChildOrderDetails");
    }
}
