ActiveWidgets is a multi-framework UI component library. This package provides **datagrid component** for **javascript** / **no-framework** environments.

[Live demo](https://js.activewidgets.com) / [Developer guide](https://activewidgets.com/guide/) / [API reference](https://activewidgets.com/api/)

## Installation

Add [@activewidgets/js](https://activewidgets.com/api/packages/js/) to your project dependencies -

```sh
> npm i --save @activewidgets/js
```

## Usage

Import `mount` function into your app -

```js
import { mount } from "@activewidgets/js";
```

Now, assuming that you've added a placeholder `ax-datagrid` tag to the page

```html
Loading...
```

Mount an actual ActiveWidgets component at the placeholder position -

```js
const rows = [
{ message: 'Hello, World!' }
];

mount('ax-datagrid', { rows });
```

[Live example](https://js.activewidgets.com/hello-world/) | [Source on github](https://github.com/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/hello-world) | [Edit on stackblitz](https://stackblitz.com/github/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/hello-world?file=src/index.js)

## CDN links

For quick prototyping the package is also available over ActiveWidgets CDN -

```html

```

In this case the `mount` function is available at `ActiveWidgets.JS` global namespace.

```js
var mount = ActiveWidgets.JS.mount;

var rows = [
{ framework: 'none', source: 'CDN', language: 'ES5'}
];

mount('ax-datagrid', { rows: rows });
```

[Live example](https://js.activewidgets.com/examples/local/cdn-es5/) | [Source on github](https://github.com/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/cdn-es5) | [Edit on stackblitz](https://stackblitz.com/github/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/cdn-es5)

## Mount function

The first argument for the `mount` function should be the target element (or selector).
The second argument is a properties object. The target element tagName defines the component ID.

```js
mount('#grid1', { columns, rows });
```

The placeholder element tag must be `ax-datagrid`

```html

```

The mount function returns `update` and `destroy` methods.

```js
const { update } = mount('#my-grid', { columns, rows });

//...

update({ rows: newRows });

```

## Data properties

You have to provide [columns](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/) and [rows](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/rows/) properties to the datagrid to show some data. The properties of each `column` object define how the data will be rendered -

- [field](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#field) - where the cell data comes from (string|function)
- [header](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#header) - column header (string|object)
- [width](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#width) - column width (number, in pixels)
- [align](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#align) - cell text alignment (left|right|center)
- [format](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#format) - number/date format (string|function)
- [fixed](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/columns/#fixed) - fixed (true/false) for columns on the left or right side

The `style` (string|object) or `className` properties allow to change the styling of the column and cell elements.

```js
const columns = [
{ header: 'Code', field: 'customerID', width: 80, style: 'background:#def', fixed: true },
{ header: 'Company Name', field: 'companyName', width: 160 },
{ header: 'Contact', field: 'contactName', width: 120 },
{ header: 'Title', field: 'contactTitle', width: 120 },
{ header: 'Address', field: 'address', width: 120, align: 'right' }
];

const rows = northwind.customers;

mount('ax-datagrid', { columns, rows });
```

[Live example](https://js.activewidgets.com/columns/) | [Source on github](https://github.com/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/columns) | [Edit on stackblitz](https://stackblitz.com/github/activewidgets/js/tree/master/examples/columns?file=src/index.js)

## User events

In addition to the standard DOM keyboard and mouse events the datagrid emits composite
[mouse](https://activewidgets.com/api/datagrid/mouse-event/) event which makes it easier to find the elements affected by the user action -

```js
function onMouse({ row }){
alert(`row ${ row.key } clicked!`);
}

mount('ax-datagrid', { onMouse, columns, rows }); // put event handlers together with props
```
