API Element Usage

ZingGrid defines a set of Custom Elements (tags) that you can use to construct a data table or interactive grid. As a set of custom elements, ZingGrid tags natively use standard CSS properties and attributes, react to JavaScript events, and act as you would expect normal HTML tags to behave.

Tag Usage

ZingGrid tags are an extension of native HTML and are used like any other tag:

<zing-grid data='[{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, {"firstName":"Jane", "lastName":"Doe"}]'>
  <zg-caption>Hello ZingGrid</zg-caption>
</zing-grid>

Since they are HTML tags, they support common attributes like id, class, title etc.

Attribute Usage

As extensions of native HTML elements, ZingGrid tags accept data attributes. Custom, predefined attributes are used to control the behavior of the grid, from quickly adding a styled caption-label to enabling search, sorting, and pagination:

<zing-grid 
  data='[{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}, {"firstName":"Jane", "lastName":"Doe"}]'
  caption="Hello ZingGrid"
  pager
  search
  sorter
></zing-grid>

When the grid is rendered, the feature attributes are evaluated and the matching DOM markup is constructed and added automatically.
