🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Create a Search Model

Generate a search model for your data:

php artisan make:gridview-search UserSearch

This creates app/SearchModel/UserSearch.php:

<?php

namespace App\SearchModel;

use App\Models\User;
use Picobaz\GridView\Contracts\SearchContract;
use Picobaz\GridView\Traits\BaseSearch;

class UserSearch extends User implements SearchContract
{
    use BaseSearch;

    public function fields(): array
    {
        return ['name', 'email', 'status', 'created_at'];
    }

    public function searchRules(): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => function ($query, $value) {
                return $query->where('name', 'LIKE', "%{$value}%");
            },
            'email' => function ($query, $value) {
                return $query->where('email', 'LIKE', "%{$value}%");
            },
            'status' => function ($query, $value) {
                return $query->where('status', $value);
            },
        ];
    }
}

Step 2: Controller Setup

use App\Models\User;
use App\SearchModel\UserSearch;

public function index()
{
    $users = User::query();
    $searchModel = new UserSearch();
    $dataProvider = $searchModel->search($users);

    return view('users.index', compact('searchModel', 'dataProvider'));
}

Step 3: Blade View

{!! gridview([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'searchModel' => $searchModel,
    'export' => true,
    'columns' => [
        // Serial number column
        ['class' => \Picobaz\GridView\SerialColumns::class],
        
        // Bulk action checkbox
        [
            'class' => \Picobaz\GridView\BulkActionColumn::class,
            'checkboxOptions' => [
                'name' => 'selection[]',
                'class' => 'gridview-checkbox'
            ]
        ],
        
        // Regular columns
        [
            'label' => 'Name',
            'attribute' => 'name',
            'sortable' => true,
        ],
        [
            'label' => 'Email',
            'attribute' => 'email',
            'sortable' => true,
        ],
        
        // Inline editable column
        [
            'label' => 'Status',
            'attribute' => 'status',
            'editable' => true,
            'editableType' => 'select',
            'editableOptions' => [
                'source' => [
                    ['value' => 'active', 'text' => 'Active'],
                    ['value' => 'inactive', 'text' => 'Inactive']
                ]
            ]
        ],
        
        // Action buttons
        [
            'label' => 'Actions',
            'value' => function($model) {
                return '
                    <a href="'.route('users.edit', $model->id).'" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
                        <i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit
                    </a>
                    <a href="'.route('users.show', $model->id).'" class="btn btn-sm btn-info">
                        <i class="fa fa-eye"></i> View
                    </a>
                ';
            }
        ],
    ]
]) !!}

{{-- Bulk Actions Toolbar --}}
<div class="gridview-bulk-toolbar mt-3" style="display: none;">
    <span class="badge badge-info">
        <span class="gridview-selected-count">0</span> items selected
    </span>
    
    <button onclick="executeGridViewBulkAction('delete', 'Are you sure?')" 
            class="btn btn-sm btn-danger gridview-bulk-action-btn">
        <i class="fa fa-trash"></i> Delete Selected
    </button>
    
    <button onclick="executeGridViewBulkAction('activate')" 
            class="btn btn-sm btn-success gridview-bulk-action-btn">
        <i class="fa fa-check"></i> Activate
    </button>
</div>

{{-- Add model class for bulk actions --}}
<div data-gridview-model="App\Models\User" style="display: none;"></div>

That's it! 🎉 You now have a fully functional data grid with filtering, sorting, pagination, and export capabilities!

🎯 Features

📊 Smart Data Table

Create beautiful, responsive data tables with minimal code:

{!! gridview([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'searchModel' => $searchModel,
    'tableOptions' => ['class' => 'table table-striped'],
    'columns' => [...]
]) !!}

🔍 Advanced Filtering

Filter data with custom search rules:

public function searchRules(): array
{
    return [
        'name' => function ($query, $value) {
            return $query->where('name', 'LIKE', "%{$value}%");
        },
        'category_id' => function ($query, $value) {
            return $query->whereHas('category', function ($q) use ($value) {
                $q->where('id', $value);
            });
        },
        'price_range' => function ($query, $value) {
            [$min, $max] = explode('-', $value);
            return $query->whereBetween('price', [$min, $max]);
        },
    ];
}

📈 Multi-Column Sorting

[
    'label' => 'Name',
    'attribute' => 'name',
    'sortable' => true,
]

📤 Export to Multiple Formats

Export your data to CSV, Excel, or PDF:

{!! gridview([
    'export' => true,
    'exportColumns' => [
        'Name' => 'name',
        'Email' => 'email',
        'Status' => 'status',
    ]
]) !!}

✏️ Inline Editing (NEW! 🔥)

Edit data directly in the table without navigating away:

[
    'label' => 'Title',
    'attribute' => 'title',
    'editable' => true,
    'editableType' => 'text', // text, number, email, date, select, textarea
    'editableUrl' => route('gridview.inline.update'),
]

Select dropdown example:

[
    'label' => 'Status',
    'attribute' => 'status',
    'editable' => true,
    'editableType' => 'select',
    'editableOptions' => [
        'source' => [
            ['value' => 'pending', 'text' => 'Pending'],
            ['value' => 'approved', 'text' => 'Approved'],
            ['value' => 'rejected', 'text' => 'Rejected']
        ]
    ]
]

☑️ Bulk Actions (NEW! 🔥)

Perform actions on multiple rows at once:

// Add bulk action column
[
    'class' => \Picobaz\GridView\BulkActionColumn::class,
    'checkboxOptions' => [
        'name' => 'selection[]'
    ]
]

// Add bulk action buttons
<button onclick="executeGridViewBulkAction('delete', 'Confirm delete?')">
    Delete Selected
</button>
<button onclick="executeGridViewBulkAction('activate')">
    Activate Selected
</button>

🎨 Custom Column Rendering

[
    'label' => 'Avatar',
    'value' => function($model) {
        return '<img src="'.$model->avatar_url.'" class="rounded-circle" width="40">';
    },
    'format' => 'raw'
]

🔧 Custom Filters

Create custom filter views:

[
    'label' => 'Status',
    'attribute' => 'status',
    'filterView' => 'vendor.gridview.filters.status_filter',
]

Custom filter view:

{{-- resources/views/vendor/gridview/filters/status_filter.blade.php --}}
<td class="filterGrid">
    <select class="form-control filter_field" name="{{ $column['filter']['inputName'] }}">
        <option value="">All</option>
        <option value="active" {{ $column['filter']['inputValue'] == 'active' ? 'selected' : '' }}>
            Active
        </option>
        <option value="inactive" {{ $column['filter']['inputValue'] == 'inactive' ? 'selected' : '' }}>
            Inactive
        </option>
    </select>
</td>
