meteor-reactive-footable

The goal of this smart package is to provide an easy (and Meteoric) way to redraw a Footable instance when a reactive change occurs to the contents it's displaying. Essentially, making footables reactive without the current boilerplate code one has to place on each templates' render callback.

Installation

meteor add meloncon:footable

Example:

{{#footable}}
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<td>First Name</td>
			<td>Last Name</td>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		{{#fooBody people}}
			<tr>
				<td>{{firstName}}</td>
				<td>{{lastName}}</td>
			</tr>
		{{/fooBody}}
	</tbody>
{{/footable}}

You can pass any Footable top-level "data-" variables to the helper by simply providing them as context variables, like so:

{{#footable data-sort=true}}
{{/footable}}

For any Footable table header variables like, data-hide="", you can set those as you normally would:

{{#footable data-sort=true}}
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<td data-toggle="true">First Name</td>
			<td data-hide="phone">Last Name</td>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		{{#fooBody people}}
			<tr>
				<td>{{firstName}}</td>
				<td>{{lastName}}</td>
			</tr>
		{{/fooBody}}
	</tbody>
{{/footable}}

TODO

• Implement variable type checks
• Add package tests
• Add code to generate the HTML table markup for the header given certain parameters
