I was wondering if anybody crafted a "Datagrid" helper that would
receive a array of object, column definitions and other stuff and would
render a nice table.
I built one, that works well, but it is ugly as hell. Here is an example
of usage:
<%
dg = DataGrid.new(@contexts, self)
dg.row_count = { :label => "context" }
dg.actions << { :eval => "link_to(''[Add New
Context]'', :action => ''new'')" }
dg.actions << { :eval => "link_to(''[Clear All
Contexts]'', :action =>
''clear'')" }
dg.columns << { :label => "Name", :eval =>
"item.name" }
dg.columns << { :label => "Type", :eval =>
"item.type.to_s" }
dg.columns << { :eval => "link_to(''[Edit]'',
:action => ''edit'', :id =>
item.id)" }
dg.columns << { :eval => "link_to(''[Delete]'',
:action => ''delete'', :id
=> item.id)" }
%>
<%= dg.render %>
It renders a nicely alternating color table, with 4 columns (2 for data
and 2 for row actions: edit and delete), a row count and 2 global actions.
Anybody has come up with something better?

Demetrius

Thanks Luis, I''ll try to use that in future projects. Are there any intentions in the Rails community to build a complete set of HTML controls a la ASP.NET ? Luis G.
