html_table

Table creates horizontal html tables. Table is very small and very DRY to use. Their is no repetition between header definition and attribute definition. Actually their is no thead definition.

Example

table(products) do |row|
  row.column :name
  row.column :description
  row.column :price
end

this generates (formatted for reading purposes)

<table>
  <thead>
    <th>name</th>
    <th>description</th>
    <th>price</th>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Tomato</td>
      <td>Delicious red fruit.</td>
      <td>€14/kg</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Installation

gem install html_table

Configuration

You could also specify a class attribute for the table using

table(collection, :class => "some_class")

If you're using it together with Rails you could try

table-rails -> still working on it

To use different column headers one should overwrite

class HtmlTable::TableBuilder
  def column_translation column
    I18n.t(column)
  end
end
