Quickstart

Comprehensive & Headless Data Grid for SvelteKit Apps

@mediakular/gridcraft is a powerful data grid package made for Svelte applications.

We focus on making GridCraft as easy to use and customize as possible for developers, while still providing all the features a modern grid requires.

The Grid can be used in a variety of ways - from very simple tables to feature-rich grids with grouping, selecting, sorting, custom columns and more. It was important to us to keep the number of dependencies as well as the file size to a minimum. That's why GridCraft feels easy to use and doesn't interfere with your code.

The component is lightning fast and integrates into your project super quickly.

Here are some screenshots of the default themes. These themes are fully customizable and you can also create your own themes in a snap.

Features ✨

  • Paging: Use the default paging component or create your own.
  • Sorting: Use default sorting, set specific sorting value or implement your own custom sorting function.

  • Grouping: It's never been easier to set up grouping functionality for your grid.
  • Row Selection: Row selection made easy - juist activate it and access selected rows.
  • Custom Row edit: Simply create your own column with with your own actions/functions. You can also integrate any third-party components to edit your data.
  • Theming: Personalize grid appearance to match your style guide. Overwrite existing default themes or create your own. There are endless possibilities and we tried to make it as easy as possible for you.
  • Typesafe: Stay typesafe and use the types from your own business model.

Installation

npm install @mediakular/gridcraft

or

yarn add @mediakular/gridcraft

or

pnpm add @mediakular/gridcraft

or

bun add @mediakular/gridcraft

Usage

Most basic usage. In this example GridCraft will automatically detect the properties of type Client and generate a column for each property.

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid } from '@mediakular/gridcraft';
import { clients } from './clients.js'; // [{name: ..., age: ..., ...}, {}, {}]
</script>

<Grid data={clients} />

Example With Column Definition

Here an example with a simple custom column definition.

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

interface Client {
    id: string;
    firstname: string;
    lastname: string;
    age: number;
    birthdate: Date;
}

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    { 
        key: 'firstname', 
        title: 'First Name'
    },
    { 
        key: 'lastname', 
        title: 'Last Name'
    },
    { 
        key: 'age', 
        title: 'Age'
    },
    { 
        key: 'birthdate', 
        title: 'Birthday'
    }
];
</script>

<Grid 
    data={clients} 
    {columns} />

Use custom components to render column cells

GridCraft allows you to simply define your own custom svelte components to render column cells. The following example shows you how to define a custom renderComponent:

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

import ClientCell from "$lib/components/grid/cells/ClientCell.svelte";
import CurrencyCell from "$lib/components/grid/cells/CurrencyCell.svelte";
import DateCell from "$lib/components/grid/cells/DateCell.svelte";

interface Client {
    id: string;
    firstname: string;
    lastname: string;
    avatar: string;
    email: string;
    age: number;
    birthdate: Date;
    amount: number;
    quantity: number;
}

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    { 
        key: 'name', 
        title: 'Name',
        // Use an accessor to transform row data, which can be used in your custom renderComponent
        accessor: (row: Client) => { 
            return {
                avatar: row.avatar,
                firstname: row.firstname,
                lastname: row.lastname,
                email: row.email
            }
        },
        // as the default search will not work with our accessor data, we have to provide a sortValue which will be used for sorting
        sortValue: (row: Client) => {
            return `${row.firstname} ${row.lastname}`
        },
        renderComponent: ClientCell // Our custom column cell component to render a column with avatar, full name and email
    },
    { 
        key: 'age', 
        title: 'Age'
    },
    { 
        key: 'birthdate', 
        title: 'Birthday',
        renderComponent: DateCell // Our custom column cell component to render a formatted date
    },
    { 
        key: 'total', 
        title: 'Total',
        accessor: (row: Client) => { return row.amount * row.quantity },
        renderComponent: CurrencyCell // Our custom column cell component to render a calculated cell and formatted currency 
    },
];
</script>

<Grid 
    data={clients} 
    bind:columns />

Open in SvelteLab

Here are the custom cell components used in the example above:

ClientCell.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    export let avatar: string;
    export let firstname: string;
    export let lastname: string;
    export let email: string;

    let fullname = `${firstname} ${lastname}`;
</script>

<div class="my-client-cell">
    <img src="{avatar}" alt="{fullname}" />
    <div>
        <span>{fullname}</span>
        {#if email}
            <span>{email}</span>
        {/if}
    </div>
</div>

DateCell.svelte

<script lang="ts">
  export let value: Date;

  let dateStr = value ? (new Date(value)).toLocaleDateString('en-US', { year: 'numeric', month: 'short', day: 'numeric' }) : "-";
</script>

<div>{dateStr}</div>

CurrencyCell.svelte

<script lang="ts">
	export let value: number;

	let currency = new Intl.NumberFormat("en-US", { currency: "USD", style: 'currency', 2, 0 }).format(value);
</script>

<div>{currency ? currency : '-'}</div>

Example With Row Action Column

Here an example on how to integrate a column with custom row actions. This could be used for example to display links or buttons to delete or edit a row, or to show row details.

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import ActionsCell from "$lib/components/grid/cells/ActionsCell.svelte";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    { 
        key: 'firstname', 
        title: 'First Name',
    },
    {
        key: 'lastname', 
        title: 'Last Name',
    },
    {
        key: 'email', 
        title: 'E-Mail',
    },
    {
        key: 'actions', // you can call it however you like
        title: 'Row Actions',
        sortable: false,
        accessor: (row: Client) => { 
            return {
                row: row, 
                editClicked: (row: Client) => {  
                   // Implement your edit function here. You can for example open a modal window which shows the edit form for the row
                },
                deleteClicked: (row: Client) => {  
                   // Implement your delete function here. You can for example open a dialoge window here to confirm that the user wants to delete the row
                },
                somethingElseClicked: (row: Client) => {
                    // ...
                }
            }
        },
        renderComponent: ActionsCell
    }
];
</script>

<Grid 
    data={clients} 
    {columns} />

ActionsCell.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    type T = $$Generic<any>;

    export let row: T;
    export let editClicked: (row: T) => void;
    export let deleteClicked: (row: T) => void;
    export let somethingElseClicked: (row: T) => void;

    function handleEditClick() {
        editClicked(row);
    }
    function handleDeleteClick() {
        deleteClicked(row);
    }
    function handleSomethingElseClick() {
        somethingElseClicked(row);
    }
</script>

<button on:click|preventDefault={handleEditClick}>
    Edit
</button>
<button on:click|preventDefault={handleDeleteClick}>
    Delete
</button>
<a href="#" on:click|preventDefault={handleSomethingElseClick}>
    Something Else
</a>

Example With Paging

Here a simple example with paging. If you are okay with the default values, you only need to define a variable of type PagingData, which you need to set as attributes for the Grid and GridFooter components. If you want to overwrite the defaults simply define them in the paging variable:

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, PagingData, GridFooter, type GridColumn } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [];

// Define paging variables, if you want to overwrite the default
let paging = new PagingData(1, 5, [5, 10, 20]);
// Or: let paging = new PagingData();

</script>

<Grid 
    data={clients} 
    {columns}
    bind:paging />

<GridFooter bind:paging />

import { Grid, type GridColumn } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

interface Client {
    id: string;
    firstname: string;
    lastname: string;
    age: number;
}

let groupBy = "";

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    { 
        key: 'firstname', 
        title: 'First Name',
    },
    { 
        key: 'lastname', 
        title: 'First Name',

Example With Text Filter

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn, type GridFilter } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

interface Client {
    id: string;
    firstname: string;
    lastname: string;
    age: number;
}

let textSearch = "";
let clientData = clients;

let filters: GridFilter[];
$: filters = [
    {   
        key: "text-search", //can be chosen freely
        columns: ["firstname", "lastname", "age"], // Define which columns you would like to use the filter for
        filter: (row: any, colKey: string) => { // Actual filter function which will be called for each of the above defined columns. We return true for displaying the column and false for hiding it
            const search = (val: string | null) => val != undefined && val.toString().toLocaleLowerCase().includes(textSearch.toLocaleLowerCase());
            return search(row)
        }, 
        active: (textSearch && textSearch.length > 0) ? true : false // Here we return true when the filter should be active, when false the filter will be ignored
    }
];

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [

Example With Customized Appearance

Currently, gridcraft comes with three pre-defined themes: PlainTableCssTheme, PlainTableTheme and PrelineTheme. By default gridcraft uses PlainTableCssTheme. While PlainTableCssTheme is a fully styled theme and can be used as-is, PlainTableTheme theme is a very basic table, without any styles or classes and serves mostly as a template for your own theme. You can copy PlainTableTheme into your own project and transform it to fit your needs. PrelineTheme is inspired by preline.

There are currently three main components that can be themed: Grid, GridFooter and GridPaging.

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn, GridFooter, PrelineTheme, PlainTableCssTheme } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import { clients } from './clients.js';

let theme = PlainTableCssTheme;

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    ...
];
</script>

<!-- Only for demonstration purposes -->
<button on:click={() => theme = PlainTableCssTheme}>Plain Css Theme</button>
<button on:click={() => theme = PrelineTheme}>Preline Theme</button>
<!-- End: Only for demonstration purposes -->

<Grid bind:data={clients} {columns} {theme} />

<GridFooter {theme}/>

When using PrelineTheme you need to install tailwindcss and make sure to add this in your tailwind.config.js:

export default {
  content: [
    ...
    './node_modules/@mediakular/gridcraft/dist/themes/preline/**/*.svelte' // add this line
  ],
  theme: {
    ...
  },
  plugins: [
    ...
  ],
}

Overwriting an existing theme

This can be useful if you are satisfied with a certain theme, but you want to make only a few changes instead of creating a new custom theme.

<script lang="ts">
import { Grid, type GridColumn, GridFooter, PrelineTheme, PlainTableTheme } from "@mediakular/gridcraft";
import MyTableContainer from "$lib/components/grid/theme/MyTableContainer.svelte"
import { clients } from './clients.js';

let theme = PlainTableTheme;
theme.grid.container = MyTableContainer;

let columns: GridColumn<Client>[] = [
    ...
];
</script>

<Grid 
    bind:data={clients} 
    {columns}
    {theme} />

<GridFooter {theme} />

MyTableContainer.svelte

<div class="my-custom-wrapper">
    <table class="my-custom-table-class" id="custom-table-id">
        <slot />
    </table>
</div>
