Essentially, I need two things here.
One: uniformJS stylized checkboxes are not working in the Handsontables. Two: I need a checkbox in the Handsontable header to "check all" checkboxes in the corresponding column.
I believe that I can append a checkbox to the table via jQuery .append(), but is there a more correct way to go about this to work with Handsontables? Thanks in advance.
jQuery
$('input').uniform();
$(document).ready(function () {
function getCarData() {
return [
{car: "Mercedes A 160", year: 2006, available: true, comesInBlack: 'yes'},
{car: "Citroen C4 Coupe", year: 2008, available: false, comesInBlack: 'yes'},
{car: "Audi A4 Avant", year: 2011, available: true, comesInBlack: 'no'},
{car: "Opel Astra", year: 2004, available: false, comesInBlack: 'yes'},
{car: "BMW 320i Coupe", year: 2011, available: false, comesInBlack: 'no'}
];
}
$("#example1").handsontable({
data: getCarData(),
startRows: 7,
startCols: 4,
colHeaders: ["Car", "Year", ""],
colWidths: [120, 50, 60],
columnSorting: true,
columns: [
{
data: "car"
//1nd column is simple text, no special options here
},
{
data: "year",
type: 'numeric'
},
{
data: "available",
type: "checkbox"
}
]
});
});
HTML
<input type="checkbox" checked /> Checkbox
<div id="example1" class="handsontable"></div>
you can add the "check all" in the header directly in the handsontable colHeaders and to apply UniformJS you need to use the callback afterRender like this
$("#example1").handsontable({
data: getCarData(),
startRows: 7,
startCols: 4,
colHeaders: ["Car", "Year", "<input type='checkbox' class='checkall' />"],//checkall inside colHeaders
colWidths: [120, 50, 60],
columnSorting: true,
columns: [
{
data: "car"
},
{
data: "year",
type: 'numeric'
},
{
data: "available",
type: "checkbox"
}
],
//afterRender so all the "available" checkbox use UniformJS
afterRender:function(){
$('input').uniform();
//click handler for .checkall
$('.checkall').on('click', function () {
//get all .htCheckboxRendererInput and change the property checked
$(this).closest('table').find('input.htCheckboxRendererInput').prop("checked",this.checked);
$.uniform.update();//update UniformJS
});
}
});
