Simple Table For helper

Generate HTML tables in a simple and clean way.

Installation

gem 'simple_table_for'

Usage

<%= table_for @users, [:name, :email, 'Registration date', 'Comments count', '-'], model: User do |user| %>
  <%= field user.name %>
  <%= field user.email %>
  <%= field user.created_at %>
  <%= field user.comments.count %>
  <%= field link_to('View', user) %>
<% end %>

The above will generate a table like:

First name	Email	Registration date	Comments count	-
John	john@john.com	01/01/2015	15	View
Mark	mark@mark.com	02/02/2015	34	View

The second parameter is a array of headers. For a Symbol header, the helper will get the localizated name in config/locales folder. The model option should be informed in this case. For a String header, the helper will just print it as is.

You can optionally add an id or classes to tables and fields:

<%= table_for @users, [:name, '-'], model: User, id: 'users-table', class: 'table' do |user| %>
  <%= field user.name, class: 'user-name' %>
  <%= field link_to('View', user), class: 'user-link' %>
<% end %>

Setting default options

You can also set a default class for tables:

# application.rb
class Application < Rails:Application
  # for a Bootstrap table
  config.simple_table_for.defaults = {
    class: 'table table-condensed table-striped table-bordered'
  }
end
