Is there a dataRepeater?

JamiePattison

I like the functionality this dataTable provides as is. Is there another plugin/extension that could be used as a data Repeater so i can list data in boxes rather than column and rows?

Thanks will have a look at this. I dont know if you would know if this plugin works exactly like dataTables? For example i like the out of the box features such as Filtering and searching?

Also is this free? I believe dataTables is free (or at least thats what weve used it as)

The example is about Editor which isn't free but worth the small investment. I have personally never used Data Tables without Editor because I don't think it makes a lot of sense to have a table that you can't edit easily.

Hi,

Yes, as usual rf1234 is spot on:

• DataTables is free open source software under the MIT license
• Editor is a commercial plug-in for DataTables.

It sounds like you want a layout that is different from just a table - perhaps what you want could best be described as a grid or cards. There is some discussion on a hack for how to do that, but it isn't a core part of the software I'm afraid. DataTables focuses solely on tables.
