CHANGELOG

4.0.1

Support for Bootstrap 3

4.0.0

Support for Rails 4

3.2.2

improvement of the javascript calendar control: if the FROM field is set to a value after TO, TO is set to the value of FROM.
Vice versa: if the TO field is set to a value before FROM, FROM is set to the value of TO

Wice::Defaults::DATEPICKER_YEAR_RANGE added to the config to define the default year range in Datepicker (https://github.com/leikind/wice_grid/issues/61)

support for Ruby 2.0

<caption> supported

2 js errors fixed in the Saved Queries UI ( https://github.com/leikind/wice_grid/issues/89

helpers filter_and_order_state_as_hash(grid) and filter_state_as_hash(grid)

the with_paginated_resultset callback receives an ActiveRelation object, not a lambda

3.2.1

action_column can now also take a block. If the block returns a falsy value, no checkbox will be rendered.

A fix: the css class submitted to column is also added to the <th> tags of the column.

Filter related code has been refactored: condition generators are unified together with view column processors into one module. Writing your own filters has been simplified.

The default filter for numeric columns has been replaced by a simple one field filter which checks the values for equality, not the inclusion in a range.
New column parameter :filter_type allows to load custom alternative filters.
The old numeric range filter can still be used by specifying filter_type: :range. See lib/columns/column_processor_index.rb for the list of available filters.

== 0.5

Today "WiceGrid":http://leikind.org/pages/wicegrid has reached its next level of maturity and was awarded the tag of version 0.5.

This version of WiceGrid is accompanied by an application called _WiceGrid Examples_ running "online":http://grid.leikind.org/ and with source code available on  "GitHub":http://github.com/leikind/wice_grid_examples.

Here's a list of changes as compared with "version 0.4":https://blog.wice.eu/2009/7/6/moving-to-github-and-wicegrid-version-0-4 :


--- RHTML
<%= grid(@tasks_grid) do |g|
   ...
end -%>

<% selected = @tasks_grid.selected_records %>
<p><%= selected.size %> records selected: <%= selected.map(&:id).to_sentence %></p>
---

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/integration_with_application_view

h4. placement of filter related icons

A change in placement of filter related icons (filter icon, reset icon, show/hide icon): if the last column doesn't have  any filter or a column name, icons will be placed in the header of this column, otherwise it falls back to the usual   behavior when an additional table column is added. To change the behavior back to the old style, set   @Wice::Defaults::REUSE_LAST_COLUMN_FOR_FILTER_ICONS@ to @false@ in the configuration file.

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/custom_filters2


h4. wice_grid_assets generator

Copying asset files (images, css, js, and the configuration file) is now done by a plugin generator, not rake tasks:

---
./script/generate wice_grid_assets
---

h4. blank slate

Blank slate feature: it is now possible to replace the grid with some alternative view if no filters are active  and there are no records to render:

--- RHTML
<%= grid(@grid) do |g|

   g.blank_slate  do
     "There are no records"
   end

   g.column  do |product|
      ...
   end
end  -%>
---

There are also two alternative three ways to do it:

--- Ruby
g.blank_slate "some text to be rendered"
---
and
--- Ruby
g.blank_slate :partial => "partial_name"
---

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/no_records

h4. custom filters with symbols

Improvement to custom filters, namely to
--- Ruby
:custom_filter => :symbol
---
and
--- Ruby
:custom_filter => [:symbol1, :symbol2, :symbol3]
---

Now, if the last method returns an array of 2 elements, the first element becomes  the select option label and the second - the select option value (usually @id@).

Before this change the value returned by the method had been used for both the value and the label of the select option.

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/custom_filters3

h4. custom filters and NULL

Values @null@ and @not null@ in a generated custom filter dropdown are treated specially, as SQL @null@ statement  and not as strings.  Value @null@ is transformed into SQL condition @IS NULL@, and @not null@ into @IS NOT NULL@ .

Thus, if in a filter defined by

--- Ruby
:custom_filter => {'No' => 'null', 'Yes' => 'not null', '1' => 1, '2' => '2', '3' => '3'}
---
values @1@, @2@ and @'No'@ are selected (in a multi-select mode),  this will result in the following SQL:

--- SQL
( table.field IN ( '1', '2' ) OR table.field IS NULL )
---

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/null_values

h4. Wice::Defaults::STRING_MATCHING_OPERATORS

 in addition to the configuration constant @Wice::Defaults::STRING_MATCHING_OPERATOR@   to define the operator for matching strings (@LIKE@ in most cases), hash @Wice::Defaults::STRING_MATCHING_OPERATORS@   was added to specify string matching operators on per-database basis:

--- Ruby
Wice::Defaults::STRING_MATCHING_OPERATORS = {
 'ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::MysqlAdapter' => 'LIKE',
 'ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::PostgreSQLAdapter' => 'ILIKE'
}
---

A use-case for this is a Rails application connecting to two databases, one of which is MySQL, and the other is Postgresql. To use case-insensitive matching in Postgresql 'ILIKE' has to be used, but this operator is unknown to MySQL.

h4. td_html_attrs and table_html_attrs shortcuts

@:td_html_attrs@ in column definitions and @table_html_attrs@ in the table definitions are mostly used to add css classes, so a shorter way has been added to add css classes.

Instead of

--- RHTML
<%= grid(@grid, :table_html_attrs => {:class => 'css_class1'}) do |g|
    g.column(:td_html_attrs => {:class => 'css_class2'}) do
      ...
    end
end -%>
---

It's possible to just use the new @:class@ option:

--- RHTML
<%= grid(@grid, :class => 'css_class1') do |g|
  g.column(:class => 'css_class2') do
  end
end -%>
---

h4. allow_multiple_selection

New options for @column@: @:allow_multiple_selection@, use @:allow_multiple_selection => false@ to disable switching between single and multiple selection modes for custom dropdown boxes.

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/custom_filters4

h4. allow_ordering

New parameter for @column@: @:allow_ordering@. Use @:allow_ordering => false@ to disable the ordering of the column.

"See an online example":http://grid.leikind.org/basics6

h4. allow_showing_all_records

Parameter @:allow_showing_all_records@ moved from @initialize_grid@  to the view helper.

h4. other

* Default styles updated.
* Javascript code cleaned up and refactored.
* Quite some number of bugs fixed

== 0.4

* Detached filters: it has become possible to detach filters and place them anywhere on the page, before or after the grid.
  Read section "Detached Filters" in the README.

*  More control over Submit and Reset buttons.
   Two new view helpers: submit_grid_javascript returns javascript which applies current filters; reset_grid_javascript returns javascript
   which resets the grid, clearing the state of filters. This allows to create your own Submit and Reset buttons anywhere on the page
   with the help of button_to_function:

     <%= button_to_function "Submit", submit_grid_javascript(@grid) %>
     <%= button_to_function "Reset",  reset_grid_javascript(@grid) %>

   To complement this feature there are two new parameters in the +grid+ helper :hide_submit_button and :hide_reset_button which
   hide default buttons in the grid if set to true. Together with detached filter this allows to completely
   get rid of the filter row with filters and icons.

* erb_mode option has been moved to the grid view helper - watch for warnings and remove the parameter from initialize_grid if you have it there.

* helper include_wice_grid_assets will require WiceGrid javascripts and stylesheets on demand, that is, only if at least one initialize_grid
  has been called in the controller. Otherwise the helper returns an empty string. However, you can force the old unconditioned behavior if you
  need by submitting  parameter :load_on_demand set to false:
    <%= include_wice_grid_assets(:load_on_demand => false) %>

* Compatibility with Rails asset caching. Helpers names_of_wice_grid_stylesheets and names_of_wice_grid_javascripts return names of stylesheet and
  javascript files and can be used with stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag with :cache => true. Using this trick you have to deal with
  the parameters correctly, mind that Prototype has to be loaded before WiceGrid javascripts:

    <%= stylesheet_link_tag *(['core',  'modalbox'] + names_of_wice_grid_stylesheets + [ {:cache => true}]) %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag *([:defaults] + names_of_wice_grid_javascripts + [ 'ui', 'swfobject', {:cache => true}]) %>

*  When a page with a WiceGrid instance is loaded there is check a small chunk of javascript that checks whether Prototype is loaded and whether
   the main WiceGrid javascript files is loaded and is of the correct version. Problems are reported to the user via alert() dialog boxes.
   This check has now been disabled in the production mode.

*  The default field separator in generated CSV (comma) can now be overridden by setting :enable_export_to_csv  to a string instead of +true+.

*  It is possible to add your own handcrafted HTML after and/or before each grid row. This works similar to +row_attributes+,
   by adding blocks after_row and before_row:

   <%= grid(@tasks_grid) do |g|
      g.before_row do |task|
        if task.active?
          "<tr><td colspan=\"10\">Custom line for #{t.name}</td></tr>"  # this would add a row
                                                                        # before every active task row
        else
          nil
        end
      end
      .......
    end %>

=== 8/10/2008

New view helper parameter <tt>:sorting_dependant_row_cycling</tt> - When set to true (by default it is false) the row styles +odd+ and +even+
will be changed only when the content of the cell belonging to the sorted column changes. In other words, rows with identical values in the
ordered column will have the same style (color).

=== 3/10/2008

For simple columns like

  g.column :column_name => 'Username', :attribute_name => 'username'  do |account|
    account.username
  end

the following blockless shortcut can be used:

  g.column :column_name => 'Username', :attribute_name => 'username'

In this case +attribute_name+ will be used as the method name to send to the ActiveRecord instance.
