Editor example Foundation

This example show Editor's Foundation styling integration working with a datatable input field. Otherwise this example is identical to the basic DataTable input example.

We use the nested editing example as the basis for this example, with the only difference being that it is Foundation styled. While the nested editing example is a little more complex than many others, it demonstrates the ability to use different styling libraries even in complex scenarios.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:

var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples
 
$(document).ready(function() {
    var siteEditor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
        ajax: '../../controllers/sitesNested.php',
        fields: [ {
                label: 'City:',
                name: 'name'
            }, {
                label: 'Continent:',
                name: 'continent',
                type: 'datatable',
                options: [
                    { label: 'Africa', value: 'Africa' },
                    { label: 'Asia', value: 'Asia' },
                    { label: 'Australia', value: 'Australia' },
                    { label: 'Europe', value: 'Europe' },
                    { label: 'North America', value: 'North America' },
                    { label: 'South America', value: 'South America' }
                ]
            }
        ]
    } );
 
    editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
        ajax: "../../controllers/joinNested.php",
        table: "#example",
        fields: [ {
                label: "First name:",
                name: "users.first_name"
            }, {
                label: "Last name:",
                name: "users.last_name"
            }, {
                label: "Phone #:",
                name: "users.phone"
            }, {
                label: 'Site:',
                name: 'users.site',
                type: 'datatable',
                editor: siteEditor,
                optionsPair: {
                    value: 'id',
                },
                config: {
                    ajax: '../../controllers/sitesNested.php',
                    buttons: [
                        { extend: 'create', editor: siteEditor },
                        { extend: 'edit',   editor: siteEditor },
                        { extend: 'remove', editor: siteEditor }
                    ],
                    columns: [
                        {
                            title: 'Name',
                            data: 'name'
                        },
                        {
                            title: 'Continent',
                            data: 'continent'
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        ]
    } );
 
    var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
        lengthChange: false,
        ajax: {
            url: "../../controllers/joinNested.php",
            type: 'POST'
        },
        columns: [
            { data: "users.first_name" },
            { data: "users.last_name" },
            { data: "users.phone" },
            { data: "sites.name" }
        ],
        select: true
    } );
 
    // Display the buttons
    new $.fn.dataTable.Buttons( table, [
        { extend: "create", editor: editor },
        { extend: "edit",   editor: editor },
        { extend: "remove", editor: editor }
    ] );
 
    table.buttons().container()
        .appendTo( $('.small-6.columns:eq(0)', table.table().container() ) );
} );

In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:

The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:

				<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
					<thead>
						<tr>
							<th>First name</th>
							<th>Last name</th>
							<th>Phone #</th>
							<th>Location</th>
						</tr>
					</thead>
					<tfoot>
						<tr>
							<th>First name</th>
							<th>Last name</th>
							<th>Phone #</th>
							<th>Location</th>
						</tr>
					</tfoot>
				</table>

Editor submits and retrieves information by Ajax requests. The two blocks below show the data that Editor submits and receives, to and from the server. This is updated live as you interact with Editor so you can see what is submitted.

Submitted data:

The following shows the data that has been submitted to the server when a request is made to add, edit or delete data from the table.

// No data yet submitted

Server response:

The following shows the data that has been returned by the server in response to the data submitted on the left and is then acted upon.

// No data yet received
