README

A simple PHP class to generate dynamic HTML tables from a multidimensional associative array. This class provides various methods to manipulate table headers, add custom columns, and style the table with CSS classes.

Installation

composer require vanetten/dynamictable

Basic Usage

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$data = [
    ['id' => 0, 'name' => 'Henry', 'age' => 42, 'city' => 'Boulder'],
    ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Ned', 'age' => 40, 'city' => 'Los Angeles'],
    ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Delilah', 'age' => 43, 'city' => 'Chicago'],
];
$dt = new \VanEtten\DynamicTable($data);
$html = $dt->render();
echo $html;
?>

output

id	name	age	city
0	Henry	42	Boulder
1	Ned	40	Los Angeles
2	Delilah	43	Chicago

Basic Usage in Laravel

Open the view and convert the Eloquent\Collection to an Array; see example below.

$dt = new \VanEtten\DynamicTable($user->posts->toArray());
echo $dt->render();

Advanced Example

You can chain multiple methods to manipulate the table headers and add custom columns:

# In the addHeader method, use {{ }} to reference any existing key.

$dt->renameHeaders(['name' => 'Full Name'])
    ->addHeader(['Action' => '<a href="delete.php?id={{id}}">Delete</a>]')
    ->headerToUpperCase()
    ->excludeHeaders('id')
    ->addTableClass('table-class')
    ->addHeaderClass('header-class')
    ->addBodyClass('body-class');

output

FULL NAME	AGE	CITY	ACTION
Henry	42	Boulder	Delete
Ned	40	Los Angeles	Delete
Delilah	43	Chicago	Delete
