Table/data-grid framework for Django

Project description

django-tables2 - An app for creating HTML tables
================================================

|Build status|

django-tables2 simplifies the task of turning sets of data into HTML
tables. It has native support for pagination and sorting. It does for
HTML tables what ``django.forms`` does for HTML forms. e.g.

An example table rendered using django-tables2
Its features include:

- Any iterable can be a data-source, but special support for Django
querysets is included.
- The builtin UI does not rely on JavaScript.
- Support for automatic table generation based on a Django model.
- Supports custom column functionality via subclassing.
- Pagination.
- Column based table sorting.
- Template tag to enable trivial rendering to HTML.
- Generic view mixin.

Example
=======

Creating a table for a model ``Simple`` is as simple as:

.. code:: python

import django_tables2 as tables

class SimpleTable(tables.Table):
class Meta:
model = Simple

This would then be used in a view:

.. code:: python

def simple_list(request):
queryset = Simple.objects.all()
table = SimpleTable(queryset)
return render_to_response("simple_list.html", {"table": table},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

And finally in the template:

::

{% load django_tables2 %}
{% render_table table %}

This example shows one of the simplest cases, but django-tables2 can do
a lot more! Check out the
`documentation <http://django-tables2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`__ for
more details.

Building the documentation
==========================

If you want to build the docs from within a virtualenv, and Sphinx is
installed globally, use:

::

make html SPHINXBUILD="python $(which sphinx-build)"

Publishing a release
====================

1. Bump the version in ``django-tables2/__init__.py``.
2. Update ``CHANGELOG.md``.
3. Create a tag ``git tag -a v1.0.6 -m 'tagging v1.0.6'``
4. Run
``python setup.py sdist upload --sign --identity=<your gpg identity>``.
