This project provides widgets for lists of data, including simple sets of scrolling rows, grids of data, on-demand lazy-loaded data, and various plugins for additional functionality. This project also provides touch scrolling for mobile devices with native style momentum, bouncing, and scrollbars.
The dgrid project is available under the same dual BSD/AFLv2 license as the Dojo Toolkit.
dgrid can be installed via CPM using the following command:
cpm install dgrid
The above command will automatically find the highest tagged version of dgrid and install it. Alternatively, the latest development version of dgrid can be installed by instructing CPM to install from the master branch:
cpm install dgrid master
Note that while dgrid lists the dojo package as a dependency, it does not install dijit, as it is not a hard requirement. Dijit can be additionally installed by running:
cpm install dijit
Alternatively, dgrid and its dependencies can be downloaded individually:
- xstyle
- put-selector
- The Dojo Toolkit SDK version 1.7 or higher
- Out of the DTK components, Dojo core is the only hard dependency for dgrid; however, some of the test pages also use components from Dijit, and Dojox (namely grid for a comparison test, and mobile for a mobile page).
It is recommended to arrange all dependencies as siblings, resulting in a directory structure like the following:
dgriddijit(optional, dependency of some dgrid tests)dojodojox(optional, dependency of some dgrid tests)put-selectorxstyleutil(optional, e.g. if pursuing a custom build)
dgrid works best with the latest revision of Dojo 1.7 or higher. As of this writing, Dojo 1.8.1 is recommended.
Note that while dgrid supports Dojo 1.8 and may take advantage of features or fix issues specific to it where possible, it does not have any hard dependency on APIs new to 1.8, so as to maintain compatibility with 1.7.
Documentation for dgrid components is available in the dgrid GitHub project wiki. The wiki's content may still be obtained for offline reading by cloning the wiki repository, as indicated under the "Git Access" tab.
In addition to the documentation on the wiki, if upgrading from a previous dgrid release, please be sure to read the changelog, found in CHANGES.md.
Bugs or enhancements can be filed by opening an issue in the issue tracker on GitHub.
When reporting a bug, please provide the following information:
- Affected browsers and Dojo versions
- A clear list of steps to reproduce the problem
- If the problem cannot be easily reproduced in an existing dgrid test page, include a Gist with code for a page containing a reduced test case
If you would like to suggest a fix for a particular issue, you are welcome to fork dgrid, create a branch, and submit a pull request. Please note that a Dojo CLA is required for any non-trivial modifications.
Questions about dgrid usage can be discussed on the dojo-interest mailing list or in the #dojo IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. Web interfaces are available from the Dojo Toolkit Community page.
SitePen also offers commercial support for dgrid, as well as Dojo and a number of other JavaScript libraries.
