README

AvalynxTable is a lightweight, dependency-free table system designed for responsive web applications. It leverages Bootstrap (version 5.3 or higher) to provide a seamless integration with your project. When the table's breakpoint is reached, the rows and columns stack on top of each other to create an easily readable view.

Features

• Automatic Table Enhancement: Enhances tables by adding data attributes to table cells based on the corresponding header row. This is particularly useful for responsive designs where table cells may need to display their headers inline on smaller screens.
• Flexible Selector Support: Supports custom selectors for targeting tables within the DOM. This allows for fine-grained control over which tables are enhanced.
• Custom Breakpoints: Allows you to specify custom breakpoints for when tables should stack on top of each other. This is useful for creating a consistent user experience across different screen sizes.
• Opt-in Sorting: Click table headers to sort columns in ascending/descending order when options.sorting is configured.
• Multi-Sort Support: Use Ctrl or Shift on desktop for multi-column sorting. In stacked mode, a dedicated multi-sort toggle is shown.
• Configurable Sort Columns and Defaults: Define sortable columns and initial sorting by column index, header name, or data-avalynx-table-sort-id.
• Custom Sort Values: Use data-avalynx-table-sort-value for robust sorting of formatted values like currency.
• Stacked Sort Controls: In stacked view, mobile-friendly sorting buttons are rendered automatically.
• Language and Button Class Overrides: Customize sorting labels and stacked control button classes.

<table class="avalynx-table table table-bordered table-striped">
  <thead>
  <tr>
    <th>Header 1</th>
    <th>Header 2</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
    <td>Cell 1</td>
    <td>Cell 2</td>
  </tr>
  <!-- More rows... -->
  </tbody>
</table>

new AvalynxTable('.avalynx-table');

Usage with sorting options

<table id="table-sorting" class="avalynx-table avalynx-table-md table table-bordered table-striped">
  <thead>
  <tr>
    <th data-avalynx-table-sort-id="id">ID</th>
    <th data-avalynx-table-sort-id="name">Name</th>
    <th data-avalynx-table-sort-id="department">Department</th>
    <th data-avalynx-table-sort-id="salary">Salary</th>
    <th data-avalynx-sortable="false">Status</th>
  </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  <tr>
    <td data-avalynx-table-sort-value="1002">1002</td>
    <td>Max Mustermann</td>
    <td>Sales</td>
    <td data-avalynx-table-sort-value="62000">62.000 €</td>
    <td>Active</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

new AvalynxTable('#table-sorting', {
  sortableColumns: ['department', 'name', 'salary'],
  sorting: [
    { column: 'department', dir: 'asc' },
    { column: 'name', dir: 'asc' }
  ],
  stackedSorter: true,
  stackedMultiSortToggle: true
});

Usage with language and button class strings

new AvalynxTable('.avalynx-table', {
  buttonClasses: {
    multiSortInactive: 'btn-primary btn-custom-2',
    multiSortActive: 'btn-primary btn-custom-3',
    sortButtonInactive: 'btn-outline-primary btn-custom-2',
    sortButtonActive: 'btn-primary btn-custom-3'
  }
}, {
  sortByLabel: 'Sort by',

CSS variables

You can adjust stacked rendering with CSS variables, for example:
