== Description

table_for_collection is a simple gem used to render tables based on the given collection.

=== Install

Just add to your Gemfile

gem 'table_for_collection'

=== Simplest examle

<%= table_for @users do -%> <% columns :name, :email, :address %> <% end %>

In this case you just put fields list to the :columns method. This ruby code will produce following HTML:

Name	Email	Address
John Smith	[e-mail]	100 Spear St., NY, USA

=== Simple examle

<%= table_for @users, :html => { :class => "simple-table", :id => "users", :width => "100%", :tr => { :class => lambda { |user| "simple-row #{user.role}" }, :id => lambda { |user| "user-row-#{user.id}" } } } do -%> <% column :name, :html => { :th => { :width => "25%" }, :td => { :class => "user-name" }} %> <% column :email, :width => "20%" %> <% column :address, :title => "Home" %> <% column :created_at, :title_callback => lambda { |title| link_to(title, users_path(params.merge(:order => "desc"))) } %> <% end %>

You can put :html hash to the options list (inside the :column method too). In this case table will be created with given html attributes. To assign :tr options use :tr key under :html - :class value will be added to the classes list, :id can be instance of the Proc class, in this it will be called for each collection element. For column width you can use shortcut :width, remember that :width shortcut has higher priority. Also :title value in the :column method will be used as column's title. You can pass Proc object to the :title_callback param. In this case given proc will be called with title value. It will produce HTML similar to:

...

Name	Email	Home	Created At
...	...	...	...

=== More complex example

<%= table_for @users do -%> <% column :login, :title => "User name" %> <% column :email do |email| %> <% mail_to email %> <% end %> <% column :title => "Full name" do |user| %> <% [user.first_name, user.last_name].join(" ") %> <% end %> <% column :company %> <% column :title => "Actions" do |user| %> <% [link_to("Show", user), link_to("Delete", user, :method => :delete)].join(" | ") %> <% end %> <% column :role, :default => "guest" %> <% column :created_at, :time_format => "%Y-%m-%d" %> <% end %>

=== Example with colorized rows

<%= table_for @users, :html => { :tr => { :class => "row" } }, :stripes => %w{even odd} do %> <% column :name %> <% column :email %> <% column :address %> <% end %>

Also class given by :stripe option will be merged with options[:html][:tr] so this code will produce following HTML:

... ... ... ...

== Relations

If you need a column for relation or apply method for simple column you can use :attr option:

<%= table_for @users do -%> <% column :login %> <% column :company, :attr => :name %> <% column :name, :attr => :underscore %> <% end %>

== I18n

When column name is set, but :title is not, helper tries to find translation in standard mechanism of the ActiveModel. For more information visit: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#translations-for-active-record-models

== Known issues

Unfortunately it works incorrect if there is no "-" before %> in this code:

<%= table_for @users do -%>

We hope it will be fixed soon.

Also we need to check if all our samples are correct.
