Backgrid.js

Build Status

Backgrid.js is a set of components for building semantic and easily stylable data grid widgets. It offers a simple, intuitive programming interface that makes easy things easy, but hard things possible when dealing with tabular data.

Features

The goal of Backgrid.js is to produce a set of core Backbone UI elements that offer you all the basic displaying, sorting and editing functionalities you'd expect, and to create an elegant API that makes extending Backgrid.js with extra functionalities easy.

Advantages

Supported browsers [1]:

Notes:

Example

var Territory = Backbone.Model.extend({});

var Territories = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  model: Territory,
  url: "examples/territories.json"
});

var territories = new Territories();

// Fetch some countries from the url
territories.fetch();

// Column definitions
var columns = [{
  name: "id", // The key of the model attribute
  label: "ID", // The name to display in the header
  editable: false, // By default every cell in a column is editable, but *ID* shouldn't be
  // Defines a cell type, and ID is displayed as an integer without the ',' separating 1000s.
  cell: Backgrid.IntegerCell.extend({
    orderSeparator: ''
  })
}, {
  name: "name",
  label: "Name",
  // The cell type can be a reference of a Backgrid.Cell subclass, any Backgrid.Cell subclass instances like *id* above, or a string
  cell: "string" // This is converted to "StringCell" and a corresponding class in the Backgrid package namespace is looked up
}, {
  name: "pop",
  label: "Population",
  cell: "integer" // An integer cell is a number cell that displays humanized integers
}, {
  name: "percentage",
  label: "% of World Population",
  cell: "number" // A cell type for floating point value, defaults to have a precision 2 decimal numbers
}, {
  name: "date",
  label: "Date",
  cell: "date",
}, {
  name: "url",
  label: "URL",
  cell: "uri" // Renders the value in an HTML <a> element
}];

// Initialize a new Grid instance
var grid = new Backgrid.Grid({
  columns: columns,
  collection: territories,
});

// Render the grid and attach the Grid's root to your HTML document
$("#example-1-result").append(grid.render().el);
