NAME

Text::Table::HTML::DataTables - Generate HTML table with jQuery and DataTables plugin

VERSION

This document describes version 0.005 of Text::Table::HTML::DataTables (from Perl distribution Text-Table-HTML-DataTables), released on 2020-11-05.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Table::HTML::DataTables;

my $rows = [
    # header row
    ['Name', 'Rank', 'Serial'],
    # rows
    ['alice', 'pvt', '123<456>'],
    ['bob',   'cpl', '98765321'],
    ['carol', 'brig gen', '8745'],
];
print Text::Table::HTML::DataTables::table(rows => $rows, header_row => 1);

DESCRIPTION

This module is just like Text::Table::HTML, except the HTML code will also load jQuery (http://jquery.com) and the DataTables plugin (http://datatables.net) from the local filesystem (distribution shared directory), so you can filter and sort the table in the browser.

The example shown in the SYNOPSIS generates the following table:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///home/ujang/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.0/lib/site_perl/5.24.0/auto/share/dist/Text-Table-HTML-DataTables/datatables-1.10.13/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css">
<script src="file:///home/ujang/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.0/lib/site_perl/5.24.0/auto/share/dist/Text-Table-HTML-DataTables/jquery-2.2.4/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="file:///home/ujang/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.0/lib/site_perl/5.24.0/auto/share/dist/Text-Table-HTML-DataTables/datatables-1.10.13/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script>$(document).ready(function() { $("table").DataTable(); });</script>
