TwiGrid

... is a DataGrid for Nette Framework.

Buy me a Coffee

Demo: https://kesspess.cz/twigrid/
Demo sources: https://github.com/uestla/twigrid-demo

It's based on another (and great) datagrid written by @hrach - https://github.com/nextras/datagrid. My datagrid is hugely inspired by this component and its programming ideas and therefore I would like to give this man a maximum credit and respect :-)

Quickstart

Let's see how many steps do we have to make to create our first datagrid.

  1. Create new project

    composer create-project nette/web-project twigrid-quickstart
  2. Install TwiGrid & client-side assets

    cd twigrid-quickstart
    composer require uestla/twigrid
    yarn add twigrid-datagrid --modules-folder www/vendor

    If you're not using yarn, you can install assets manually by looking into package.json and see required dependencies there.

    We'll then update app/Presenters/templates/@layout.latte to load downloaded assets:

    <!-- app/Presenters/templates/@layout.latte -->
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$basePath}/vendor/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$basePath}/vendor/twigrid-datagrid/assets/twigrid.datagrid.css">
    <!-- ... -->
    <script src="{$basePath}/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="{$basePath}/vendor/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="{$basePath}/vendor/nette-forms/src/assets/netteForms.min.js"></script>
    <script src="{$basePath}/vendor/nette.ajax.js/nette.ajax.js"></script>
    <script src="{$basePath}/vendor/twigrid-datagrid/assets/twigrid.datagrid.js"></script>
  3. Database

    Download the SQLite3 file from the demo application and place it in app/Model/users.s3db.

    And we'll configure this database to be used by the application:

    # config/local.neon
    database:
    	dsn: 'sqlite:%appDir%/Model/users.s3db'
  4. Create datagrid

    Now it's finally time to create our first datagrid - let's create an app/Grids/UsersGrid.php file. We'll need database connection for data loading, so we inject it properly via constructor.

    // app/Grids/UsersGrid.php
    
    final class UsersGrid extends TwiGrid\DataGrid
    {
    	private $database;
    
    	public function __construct(Nette\Database\Explorer $database)
    	{
    		parent::__construct();
    
    		$this->database = $database;
    	}
    
    	protected function build(): void
    	{
    		// TODO
    	}
    }

    We'll define the datagrid body inside the build() method. Although the table user has many columns, we'll have just some of them in our grid just to make it easy.

    // app/Grids/UsersGrid.php
    
    final class UsersGrid extends TwiGrid\DataGrid
    {
    	// ...
    
    	protected function build(): void
    	{
    		$this->addColumn('firstname', 'Firstname');
    		$this->addColumn('surname', 'Surname');
    		$this->addColumn('streetaddress', 'Street address');
    		$this->addColumn('city', 'City');
    		$this->addColumn('country_code', 'Country');
    	}
    }

    TwiGrid also needs to know what column(s) it should consider as a primary key:

    $this->setPrimaryKey('id');

    And finally we'll tell TwiGrid how to load our users:

    $this->setDataLoader(function () {
    	return $this->database->table('user');
    });
  5. To properly inject our grid into presenters, we'll need to create a factory interface:

    // app/Grids/UsersGridFactory.php
    
    interface UsersGridFactory
    {
    	public function create(): UsersGrid;
    }

    This interface will now be used for automatic factory generation, which is handy - we simply add this definition to config/common.neon:

    services:
    	- implement: UsersGridFactory
  6. Having all of this done, we can now simply inject our grid factory into HomepagePresenter.

    // app/Presenters/HomepagePresenter.php
    
    class HomepagePresenter extends BasePresenter
    {
    	/** @var \UsersGridFactory @inject */
    	public $usersGridFactory;
    }

    Now we'll add the control factory itself:

    // app/Presenters/HomepagePresenter.php
    
    protected function createComponentUsersGrid(): \UsersGrid
    {
    	return $this->usersGridFactory->create();
    }
  7. We're nearly done! Just open app/Presenters/templates/Homepage/default.latte, delete the whole content and replace it with

    {block content}
    	{control usersGrid}
    {/block}

    That's all, folks!

    Now when you'll open the page, you might see something like this:

  8. Final improvement

    Maybe showing the country code isn't that sexy - we'd like to have the whole country name in "Country" column. To achieve that, we'll create custom grid template:

    {* app/Grids/UsersGrid.latte *}
    
    {extends $defaultTemplate}
    
    {define body-cell-country_code}
    	<td>{$record->country->title}</td>
    {/define}

    And tell TwiGrid to use this template:

    // app/Grids/UsersGrid.php::build()
    
    $this->setTemplateFile(__DIR__ . '/UsersGrid.latte');

    Simple as that!
