Simple list formatter for UI development ease of use.

This id a package to format your collections of data based on the UI needs. You can format "laravel collection", "eloquent collection" and "array". you can create a preset for every page of your application in the database and then just pass the data and preset to the facade and get the parsed result with desired columns, with sortability, searchability and dynamic paging. you can also pass metadata to the preset and it will be delivered to UI with the resultint list.

For installation run:

composer require amirsadjad/simple-list-formatter

then publish the config file by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=simple-list-formatter-config

to migrate the table run:

php artisan migrate

Basic Usage:

use Amirsadjad\SimpleListFormatter\Facades\SimpleList;

// you need to start by using the function Of()
$list = SimpleList::Of($data, $preset);

// you can chain other methods
$list->search($query);
$list->sortBy($columnName, false);
$list->pageNumber($pageNumber);

// you have to run the generate() at the end to parse the data
$list->generate()

To interacting with presets table you can either use the Model class

SimpleListPresets::find($name);

// preset data needs to be formatted like this
$preset = [
  'columns' => [
    'column_name' => [
      'data_type' => 'string',
      'is_sortable' => 'bool',
      'is_searchable' => 'bool',
      'width' => 'int',
      'title' => 'string',
      'metadata' => 'array'
    ],
    ...
    ..
    .
  ],
  'page_size' => 'int',
];
