<sortable-table>

Polymer Web Component that generates a sortable <table> from JSON.

There are many capable Javascript grids, this one aims to have all the same features plus:

• leverage native browser support for template to be fully customizable, and
• be declaratively configurable through DOM and require no Javascript to use.

Built-In Table Features

• Click column headers to sort
• Drag-and-Drop columns to reorder
• Edit rows with multi-row Undo
• Row paging, checkbox selection, and multi-select
• Supports table, single row/article, and flowing grid layouts
• Use of HTML5 template for customization (Cells, Rows, Column Headers and Footers)
• 2-way data binding with the outside world
• Separate argument input for metadata, presentation and value calculation in all templates
• Local or remote data: AJAX support from server-side pagination

Usage

1. Add the library using the Javascript package manager Bower:

   bower install --save sortable-table

2. Import Web Components' polyfill:

   <script src="bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents.min.js"></script>

3. Import Custom Element:

   <link rel="import" href="bower_components/sortable-table/sortable-table.html">

4. Import a theme, like the Bootstrap compatible theme (Optional):

   <link rel="stylesheet"
         href="bower_components/sortable-table/css/bootstrap.css" shim-shadowdom>

   And include class="bootstrap" on any sortable-table to apply.

5. Start using it!

   Start simple and use DOM to configure the grid:

   <sortable-table>
   	<sortable-column>fruit</sortable-column>
   	<sortable-column>alice</sortable-column>
   	<sortable-column>bill</sortable-column>
   	<sortable-column>casey</sortable-column>
   	<!-- data case be either an Array, JSON, or JSON5 -->
   	[
   		[ "apple", 4, 10, 2 ],
   		[ "banana", 0, 4, 0 ],
   		[ "grape", 2, 3, 5 ],
   		[ "pear", 4, 2, 8 ],
   		[ "strawberry", 0, 14, 0 ]
   	]
   </sortable-table>

   Or use Javascript attributes:

   <sortable-table columns='["fruit","alice","bill","casey"]' data='[
   		[ "apple", 4, 10, 2 ],
   		[ "banana", 0, 4, 0 ],
   		[ "grape", 2, 3, 5 ],
   		[ "pear", 4, 2, 8 ],
   		[ "strawberry", 0, 14, 0 ] ]'>
   </sortable-table>

   Or take advanced control with custom templates, 2-way data binding, and a remote datasource:

   <sortable-table columns="{{columns}}">
   	<!-- add templates here -->
   	<!-- add remote datasource here -->
   </sortable-table>
