HTML table class - jdavidson - 04-11-2019
Does anyone know if the HTML table class will be supported in CI4?
I did some searching and couldn't find it.

You are right! It isn't in the list of ported components, and hasn't come up in any discussions that I can remember ... it fell through the cracks!! Is this something that should be in CI4?

I never used it! Is it as it sounds: takes an array and displays it as an HTML table? a la CLI::table()?

In my mind, it was discussed and explicitly excluded. But I wouldn't put money on that.
I have thought about porting it to C4 because the C3 library is a core component in a lot of backend code I regularly implement. I've been waiting for the C4 codebase to solidify before proceeding. Guess we're almost at that point.
I have also given a little thought to creating a version based on the Grid Layout CSS spec instead of <table> and its related HTML elements
Maybe we need a poll about this functionality?

Just to throw my 2 cents in, I use it all the time for simple tables because its trivial to add the js DataTables class to the id and have a well formatted table without writing loops.
the one thing I do is extend it with a Library so I can send the column name along with the data, if you write custom functions for your tables it makes it very easy to do custom formatting. Usually I use this to convert the id column of a query to checkboxes for quick CRUD tables.
The table and calendar libraries are what brought me to CI initially, if its not included I know I can just extend it, but I think as a way to attract new and sometimes inexperienced users its great. Throwing a table up on screen out of a database is something people do millions of times a day.

if you want to use it -> just copy the file to CI4, set correct namespace and have fun^^
maybe add a service entry to get global access
the class use nothing ci related so there should be no problems ( didnt test )

Actually, there is something. The generate method will accept either an array or an instance of CI_DB_result as an argument. So to allow the same kind of functionality will require some additional thought. I haven't done that thinking I've no idea if it will be trivial or it a can of worms.
If no one else takes this up I will... eventually. (Please, feel free to beat me to it.)
