Espresso Grid

A ready to edit grid for tables and resources created by an Espresso Logic API, using a modern approach to iframes.

For the complete documentation, view our docs, or to see it in action, download our Espresso Grid Demo.

Getting Started

Outputting an extensible grid starts with loading the library, creating an iframe, and initializing the espressoGrid, which can be done with five lines of code:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://eval.espressologic.com/grid/espresso-grid.min.js"></script>
<script>var frame = espressoGrid.init({id: 'uniqueID'});</script>
<iframe id="uniqueID" style="width:50%; height:600px" src="https://eval.espressologic.com/grid/?gridID=uniqueID"></iframe>

The default grid without an auth config object attribute is a readonly instance of our Espresso Demo API. The configuration object allows for a lot more container control, of course, and includes parameters for manipulating everything from grid styles to grid controls.

var grid = espressoGrid.init({
    id: 'uniqueID',
    auth: {
        username: 'demo',
        password: 'Password1',
        apiBase: 'https://eval.espressologic.com/rest/livedemo/demo/v1',
        endpoint: 'customer'
    },
    columns: [{field:'name', displayName:'Name'}],
    controls: {
        undo: true,
        search:true,
        fetch: true,
        insert: true,
        save: true,
        del: true
    },
    controlBox: 'bottom',
    gridOptions: { multiSelect: false },
    parentControls: { search:true, fetch: true },
    //css: { cssFileHandle: '//yourFileHref.css' },
    //js: { jsFileHandle: '//yourFileSrc.js' }
});

Do More With Your Grid

Grids supporting pagination, search, and edit are not easy. We have attempted to do the heavy lifting with Espresso Grid, so other developers can get to the functionality that really matters to them. Please visit the documentation page for more information, or for a sample of how to use it, see Grid Demo, and finally we invite you to register and create your API with your own data at Espresso Logic.
