Rapyd Components

Category:Libraries

Rapyd Components Library is a set of classes that can help you to develop applications in Code Igniter. Rapyd provides:

[b]Data Presentation Components[/b]

* It has lists, grids, tables
* It has a theme/views system to standardize components layout
* A tag-based function-engine (to easily format field values ... "<substr><#body#>|0|100</substr>.. ")
* An easy way to paginate data (with CI helpers / libraries like uri and pagination)

[b]Data Editing Components[/b]

* A tiny dynamic ORM (DataObject), based on CI Active Record (now with a basic support for relationships)
* Many field classes: input, textarea, editor (tinyMCE), datetime(jscalendar), etc..
* A form class (based on field classes and CI libs, helpers)
* An elegant way to create CRUD interfaces (like CI scaffolding feature, but totally customizable)

[b]Multilanguage Support[/b]

* language & helper class to enable browser-to-language, ip-to-language, or uri-to-language detection
* rapyd comes with 5 languages (including CI languages):

[b]Authorization ACL[/b]

* Rapyd auth class provide a simple acl support.

tables: users, roles, permissions, roles_pemissions, users_permissions. It has also helpers (to be used in views) for each method. * Some samples help you to build password-protected areas in five minutes, or complex permission-driven solutions.

example of DataSet:

[code]

$this->rapyd->load('dataset');

//sample query: select * from articles where status = 'public'; //but it can also work with associative arrays (by passing a multidim. array as parameter)

$dataset = new DataSet("articles"); $dataset->db->where("status","public"); //db is areference to current CI Active Record $dataset->per_page = 5; $dataset->build();

// in the view you need to iterate this array (that is the page "subset" of data) $data["items"] = $dataset->data;

//this is the navigator //but thought $datagrid->parameter (What does this mean?)

$data["navigator"] = $dataset->navigator;

$this->load->view('myview', $data);

// Note: page offset can be autodetected by uri (it assumes last segment if numeric) // or can be set by uri_segment property (like CI pagination class) [/code]

example of DataGrid:

[code]

$this->rapyd->load('datagrid');

//$mixed can be a table name, or a multidimensional array, or null //When it's null, the DataGrid uses current ActiveRecord DB preset

$datagrid = new DataGrid('Datagrid Name', $mixed);

$datagrid->per_page = 5; $datagrid->use_function("substr"); $datagrid->column_detail("Id","<#article_id#>", site_url('cnt/fnc/det/<#article_id#>')); $datagrid->column("Title",'title'); $datagrid->column("Body", "<#body#>|0|100.."); $datagrid->build();

$data["grid"] = $datagrid->output; $data["rapyd_head"] = $this->rapyd->get_head(); //may contain css/js links

$this->load->view('myview', $data); [/code]

example of DataTable:

[code]

$this->rapyd->load('datatable');

$datatable = new DataTable($mixed);
$datatable->per_row = 3;  
$datatable->per_page = 6;
$datatable->use_function("substr"); 

$datatable->cell_template = '
<div style="padding:4px">
  <div style="color:#119911; font-weight:bold"><#title#></div>
  This is the body number <substr><#body#>|5|100</substr>
</div>'; 

//Or you can use a partial view
//$datatable->cell_template = $this->load->view('repeatable', null, true);

$datatable->build();

$data["table"] = $datatable->output;
$data["rapyd_head"] = $this->rapyd->get_head();
$this->load->view('myview', $data);

[/code]

Example of integrating two components to build a filtered / sortable data grid

[code]

$this->rapyd->load("datafilter","datagrid");

$filter = new DataFilter("Article Filter", "articles");
$filter->title = new inputField("Title", "title");
$filter->state = new dropdownField("Public", "public");
$filter->state ->option("","");
$filter->state ->options(array("y"=>"Yes","n"=>"No"));
$filter->buttons("reset","search");    
$filter->build();

$grid = new DataGrid("Article List");
$grid->per_page = 5;
$grid->column_detail("ID","article_id",
  site_url('rapydsamples/dataedit/show/<#article_id#>'));
$grid->column_orderby("title","title","title");
$grid->column("body","body");
$grid->add("rapydsamples/dataedit/create");
$grid->build();

$data["crud"] = $filter->output . $grid->output;

[/code]

..and this is the main Rapyd component, DataEdit, that is a complete crud application to manage a record. Basically it extends the DataForm component to manage all editing actions/views.

[code] $this->rapyd->load("dataedit");

$edit = new DataEdit("Article Detail", "articles");
$edit->back_url = site_url("rapydsamples/crud");

$edit->title = new inputField("Title", "title");
$edit->title->rule = "trim|required|max_length[20]";

$edit->body = new textareaField("Body", "body");
$edit->body->rule = "required";
$edit->body->rows = 10;    

$edit->checkbox = new checkboxField("Public", "public", "y","n");

$edit->datefield = new dateField("Date", "datefield","eu"); 

$edit->buttons("modify", "save", "undo", "delete", "back");
$edit->build();

$data["edit"] = $edit->output; 

[/code]

There are many other features ...and a tiny user_guide
