Sortable Tables

Fork and extension of evancz/elm-sortable-table adding in paginated table support.

Create sortable (and paginated) tables for data of any shape.

This library also lets you customize <caption>, <tbody>, <tr>, etc. for your particular needs. So it is pretty easy to do whatever crazy CSS trickery is needed to get the exact table you want. You can also add custom pagination controls. We have implemented the Bulma pagination component.

Examples

  1. U.S. Presidents by Birth Place / Code
  2. Travel Planner for the Mission District in San Francisco / Code
  3. Paginated Table of Elements / Code

Usage Rules

  • Always put Table.State in your model.
  • Never put Table.Config in your model.

One of the core rules of The Elm Architecture is never put functions in your Model or Msg types. It may cost a little bit of extra code to model everything as data, but the architecture and debugging benefits are worth it. Point is, a Table.Config value is really just a bunch of view functions, so it does not belong in your model. It goes in your view!

Furthermore, you do not want to be creating table configurations dynamically, partly because it is harder to optimize. If you need multiple table configurations, it is best to create multiple top-level definitions and switch between them in your view based on other data in your Model. If your use case is so complex that this is not possible, please open an issue explaining your situation!
