Getting started

Principles

A note on design: Avoid tables, too much data, sorting as a means of filtering, etc

Creating a table

The relation

The input string

The configuration

Rendering a table

The query input

Clearing the query input

You may wish to add a means to clear the current filters, searches, and sorts to your UI. Yuri-ita does provide an explicit means to reset the filters, but it does allow you to query the table to determine if it is currently filtered or not.

table = Yuriita::Table.new(param_key: :q, params: { q: "is:published" })
table.filtered? #=> true

table = Yuriita::Table.new(param_key: :q, params: { q: "" })
table.filtered? #=> false

You may use this .filtered? method to conditionally render a link to reload the page without any query parameters.

<% if table.filtered? %>
  <%= link_to "Clear all", posts_path %>
<% end %>

This will reload the page without the table's query parameter, effectively resetting the table. There is no explicit reset because we want to leave it up to you to decide what "resetting" means. Resetting for your application may be reloading the page with some other default parameters.

<% if table.filtered? %>
  <%= link_to "Clear all", posts_path(list: "mine") %>
<% end %>

Rendering Options

For some types of collections, Yuri-ita provides an API which you can use to generate the UI of your choosing.

<% table.options_for(:status).each do |option| %>
  <% classes = option.selected? ? ["active"] : [] %>
  <% link_to option.name, posts_path(option.params), class: classes %>
<% end %>

# Generated HTML:
# <a href="/posts?q=is:published" class="active">Published</a>
# <a href="/posts?q=is:draft">draft</a>
