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");
}
}
