Having Fun with SmartGridComponent
I am preparing to my Dev Teach talks, and I wanted to show a cool view component. Here is a sample of how it looks like now:
<%
component SmartGridComponent, {
@source : customers,
@displayAddress: false,
@displayFax: false,
@displayPhone: false
}
%>
I want to ignore some of the properties of the customer entity. This demonstrate both symbols in Brail (hmm, sounds like something else altogether :-) ) and using Convention over Configuration for this.
And here is a bit more complex example, showing how to display just the items that we want, in the order that we want:
<%
component SmartGridComponent, {
@source : customers,
@columns: [
@customerId,
@companyName,
@contactName,
@contactTitle
]
}
%>
And here is how I can override spesific behavior for the grid:
<%
component SmartGridComponent, {
@source : customers,
@columns: [
@customerId,
@companyName,
@contactName,
@contactTitle
]}:
section customerIdHeader:
output "<th>Id</th>"
end
section customerID:
%>
<td>${Html.LinkTo(item, "Customers", "ListOrder", item)}</td>
<%
end
end
%>
Here is how the last one looks like, by the way:
