Laravel v5.0 Integration

NOTE: For more complete version, Visit Laravel 5.5 Integration Guide.

Following is the guide to integrate PHP Grid Framework with Laravel 5.

laravel_result

Step1: Folder placements in Laravel.

There are 2 main folders in PHP Grid Framework package archive. You need to:

Copy the contents of lib/inc folder —> Laravel/app/Classes/phpgrid
Copy the contents of lib/js folder —> Laravel/js/phpgrid

laravel_step1_1

The ‘app/Classes’ folder does not exist by default in laravel. You may create it for 3rd party class libraries.
Create another folder inside it with name ‘phpgrid’ and move all contents of ‘lib/inc’ in it. Final result will look like this:

laravel_step1_2

In similar way, copy the files from lib/js to laravel/public/js/phpgrid. Final result should look like following:

laravel_step1_3

Step2: Setting Controller code.

Here we included our library and rest code looks same as in our demos. Note the ‘\’ before class name while instantiating object. Finally we passed the output of render() function to view with a variable name ‘phpgrid_output’.

For demo purpose, we modified ‘laravel/app/Http/Controllers/WelcomeController.php’

laravel_step2

Step2: Setting View code.

In view code, we included the JS/CSS files from the ‘js’ folder which we copied in step1.1
And using blade template variable output, we pushed the grid output in our desired place in html.
For demo purpose, we modified ‘laravel/resources/views/welcome.blade.php’

laravel_step3

Note: PHP Grid Framework does not utilize ORM model layer of Laravel. It uses it’s own backend libraries.

Result: Get Set – Go!

Note: Demo comes with non-commercial / evaluation version of php grid framework. You can buy commercial usage license from this link.

PHP Database Table Editor v2.0

On various occasions, we want instant access to see or edit our database tables without having time to write a whole module with add, edit, delete, list, search (CRUD) operations. Whether your database is SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL or PGSQL — PHP Grid provides you easy solution that takes database credentials in config and provide table access in form of lightweight and rich featured PHP Grid. It will provide you complete functions within your existing application admin interface.

This lightweight, yet power-featured PHP Grid Database Editor is developed by very simple code OR we can say by just configuration. In main code logic, we simply passed the dropdown value of selected table in $g->table attribute, and that’s all!

$g = new jqgrid();
// set few params
$grid["caption"] = "Grid for '$tab'";
$grid["autowidth"] = true;
$g->set_options($grid);
// set database table for CRUD operations
$g->table = $tab;
// render grid
$out = $g->render("list1");

You can extend this code to incorporate Access Control (ACL), Exporting Data (PDF, CSV, XLS) and several other features to make a powerful tool. We omitted them to show the code simplicity. This demo is based on MySQL, but you can have same function for MS SQL Server, Oracle, PgSQL databases.

Changelog:

  • Updated CSS/JS files to use CDN
  • Option to hide first column
  • Selection of tables and fields for editing
  • Show/Hide particular fields in runtime
  • Bulk Editing data with multiselection
  • Grid Persistance (Column Resizing, Filters, Sort etc)

PHP Grid comes with free version and a licensed version. With Free version you can connect with others databases like MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, PgSQL,DB2. Licensed version also supports many advance features which you can integrate in your application.

Complete code for this demo can be accessed from this link.
