FooTable V3

This is a complete re-write of the plugin. There is no upgrade path from V2 to V3 at present as the options and the way the code is written are inherently different. Please check out the full documentation for V3 found in the docs folder or by viewing it online here.

Contributors

Pull requests need to be made against the develop branch as a new feature. I've switched to using a GitFlow process with this repository to try keep things organized a bit more. It makes it easier for me to test and make changes to submitted pull requests before merging the feature into the develop branch. The master branch now only contains release versions of the code.

Changelog

3.1.3

• Added a new dropdownTitle option to the filtering component. This options specifies a title to display at the top of the column select dropdown.
• Added a new exactMatch option to the filtering component.
• Added a new utility method FooTable.str.containsExact(string, match, ignoreCase).
• Added a class footable-filtering-search to the form-group of the built in search input for the filtering component.
• Added footable-first-visible and footable-last-visible classes to all cells (including headers) in either the first or last visible columns respectively.
• Updated the min option default value from 3 to 1 for the filtering component.
• Updated the load priority for rows and columns supplied via options or ajax load, they now take precedence over those supplied through the DOM to work around issues with the plugin being reinitialized multiple times on the same element.
• Fixed an issue in the FooTable.Query object where phrases were not being matched correctly.
• Fixed filtering component not properly clearing filters when the search input is cleared using backspace or delete.
• Fixed the resize event not being removed when the plugin is destroyed.
• Fixed an issue with unexpected sorting and filtering results if the sortValue and filterValue attributes contained a falsy value. The values are now subject to a strict undefined check before being passed off.
• Fixed an issue with the date column type not sorting it's values as expected.

3.1.2

• Added sortValue column option. This option allows you to supply your own function to retrieve the sort value for a cell.
• Updated filtering component internals to clean things up a bit.
• Updated filtering component search input to trigger a filtering operation on paste.
• Updated FooTable.Filtering#addFilter method to accept an object or FooTable.Filter as the first argument to make custom filters easier to implement.
• Updated filtering preinit and init to return a promise to make custom filters easier to implement.
• Updated FooTable.Filter to accept a FooTable.Query as the query parameter along with the original plain string.
• Updated paging component to expose some previously private properties to make setting a custom count label element easier.
• Fixed issue where the filtering components min option was not being applied.
• Fixed the paging components' countFormat option placeholder {TR} to correctly reflect filtered rows.
• Fixed preinit unhandled exception if the table the plugin is initialized on has no class attribute.
• Fixed issue with the individual components .ZIP missing the footable.core.bootstrap.min.css and footable.core.standalone.min.css minified files.

3.1.1

• Added the breakpoint class to the table when columns are hidden.
• Added an internal key used as part of the storage keys generated by the state component. Can be changed if an update breaks backwards compatibility.
• Added the hidden option that can be used for filters. When set to true the filter is always applied to the table, can not be cleared unless removed using the FooTable.Filtering#removeFilter() method and they will not effect the default UI search/clear buttons.
• Updated some utility functions with additional parameter checking to avoid unhandled errors under certain scenarios.
• Updated the FooTable.Filtering#addFilter() method to expose the last three parameters of the FooTable.Filter constructor; ignoreCase, connectors and space.
• Fixed an issue when reinitializing the plugin for a second time on a table after it's DOM had been modified by a 3rd party.
• Fixed an issue where the FooTable.Filtering#draw() method was not setting the button to the clear icon if the filter supplied was not the default.
• Fixed state component clearing filters supplied through options if the state value was an empty array.
• Fixed an issue with the incorrect sort icon appearing if a column was set to just sorted=true without supplying a direction.

3.1.0

• Added a new state component that handles the page number, sorted column and any filters applied across sessions.
• Added in the ability to toggle the visibility of the various editing component buttons.
• Added in a new "view" button to the editing component.
• Added in FooTable.Rows#expand() and FooTable.Rows#collapse() methods to toggle all visible rows.
• Added in a new FooTable.getRow() utility method to retrieve the current FooTable.Row object given a TR element or any of its' children.
• Fixed an issue when reinitializing the plugin by doing some additional cleanup in the destroy methods for columns, rows and sorting.
• Fixed an issue with filtering not applying correctly when filters were supplied through the options.
• Fixed base FooTable.Component method signatures.
• Updated the FooTable.Row#val() method to merge supplied data instead of replacing it entirely.
• Updated the FooTable.getFnPointer() method to handle dot notation names.
• Updated the requirement checks for columns so having at least one data-breakpoints attribute is no longer required.
• Updated the FooTable.Filtering#filter() method to only apply all filters in the FooTable.Filtering#filters.
• Removed the FooTable.Table#applyFilter() and FooTable.Table#removeFilter() methods.
• Removed the FooTable.components.core and FooTable.components.internal objects.

NOTE

As of version 3.1.0 there are some backwards compatibility issues if you have done customizations like those seen in the custom dropdown filter example using the 3.0.x versions. The examples have been updated with the changes however the issues are listed below.

1. The FooTable.Filtering#filter() method no longer accepts any arguments and is used purely to apply all filters found in the FooTable.Filtering#filters array.
2. Due to #1 above to apply a new search filter it must now be done using the FooTable.Filtering#addFilter(name, query, columns) method using a name of "search".
3. The internal, core and custom component arrays that existed within the FooTable.Table#components object have been removed. All components are now loaded into a single array.
4. When registering a component you now only need to use FooTable.components.register() method instead of having to decide between FooTable.components.register(), FooTable.components.core.register() and FooTable.components.internal.register() due to #3 above.
