The only sortable on htmx' example page is a drag and drop: https://htmx.org/examples/
yeah might be nice to add js and keep it light weight. or if you want to geek out datatables: https://datatables.net/ very performant too. I use it on paginated tables with hundreds of rows.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55462632/javascript-sort-table-column-on-click < ideas, but there might also be a plugin for it.
Here is some (ugly) code I could retrieve from our platform (notice the link) :)
function sortTable(n, divId) {
/* https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_sort_table.asp */
var table, rows, switching, i, x, y, shouldSwitch, dir, switchcount = 0;
table = document.getElementById(divId);
switching = true;
// Set the sorting direction to ascending:
dir = "asc";
/* Make a loop that will continue until
no switching has been done: */
while (switching) {
// Start by saying: no switching is done:
switching = false;
rows = table.rows;
/* Loop through all table rows (except the
first, which contains table headers): */
for (i = 1; i < (rows.length - 1); i++) {
// Start by saying there should be no switching:
shouldSwitch = false;
/* Get the two elements you want to compare,
one from current row and one from the next: */
x = rows[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[n];
y = rows[i + 1].getElementsByTagName("td")[n];
/* Check if the two rows should switch place,
based on the direction, asc or desc: */
if (dir == "asc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() > y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
// If so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
shouldSwitch = true;
break;
}
} else if (dir == "desc") {
if (x.innerHTML.toLowerCase() < y.innerHTML.toLowerCase()) {
// If so, mark as a switch and break the loop:
shouldSwitch = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (shouldSwitch) {
/* If a switch has been marked, make the switch
and mark that a switch has been done: */
rows[i].parentNode.insertBefore(rows[i + 1], rows[i]);
switching = true;
// Each time a switch is done, increase this count by 1:
switchcount ++;
} else {
/* If no switching has been done AND the direction is "asc",
set the direction to "desc" and run the while loop again. */
if (switchcount == 0 && dir == "asc") {
dir = "desc";
switching = true;
}
}
}
}
And voila, Ryan added the plugin part - thanks! :)
datatables looks great! I think it was actually used by that website I put in the mindmap as a reference: https://xteddy.org/lsm/
Yeah when you write JS like above maybe it's time to pause and reflect and use a nice plugin lol.
Not sure if htmx can do it, otherwise we can write some vanilla JS, please let me know ...
