Bootstable

Javascript library to make HMTL tables editable, using Bootstrap

"Bootstable" is a javascript library (plug-in), that lets convert a HTML static table to a editable table. A table is made editable, including several buttons to perform the edition actions.

Edition options includes:

• Edit fields.
• Remove rows.
• Add rows. (require and aditional button)

Dependencies:

• Jquery
• Bootstrap

Bootstrap is necessary to format correctly the controls used, and to draw icons.

No database connection is included. The library was designed to work offline, when editing.

Examples:

Sets all the columns of #mytable editable:

  $('#mytable').SetEditable();

Sets the columns 0 and 1 of #mytable editable:

  $('#mytable').SetEditable({
                columnsEd: "0,1" //editable columns 
  });

Includes a "New row" button:

  $('#mytable').SetEditable({
                columnsEd: "0,1", 
                $addButton: $('#but_add')
  });

IMPORTANT: Bootstable need the ID of the table to edit, and can only work on a single table.

  $('.mytable').SetEditable();  //BAD! No class reference allowed.
  $('table').SetEditable();     //BAD! No several tables allowed.

If several tables need to be editable in a same Web page, it's needed to set each table:

  $('#mytable1').SetEditable();
  $('#mytable2').SetEditable();

LIMITATION: When using several editable tables, events won't work properly.

Parameters:

    columnsEd: null,         //Index to editable columns. If null all td editables. Ex.: "1,2,3,4,5"
    $addButton: null,        //Jquery object of "Add" button
    onEdit: function() {},   //Called after edition
    onBeforeDelete: function() {}, //Called before deletion
    onDelete: function() {}, //Called after deletion
    onAdd: function() {}     //Called when added a new row
