DataGrid Introducing Filters to format cell output about rapyd-laravel

[tacone]

looks like the twig syntax

[tacone]

Also check this out: http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/expression_language/introduction.html (php >= 5.5.3, no dependencies)
(though I'm not sure it supports piping filters like in your examples above)

looks really interesting, especially the way you can define/create expressions http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/expression_language/extending.html
however I have little time available.. so I think I'll start from a simple method that fit my needs
then we can do something better

[tacone]

just throw Twig back in. Twig is your friend.

[zofe]

I love twig, but.. then:

• I must rearrange dg to support twig instread blade,
• then I need to find a way to let users define custom filters/functions
• then we should rewrite widgets views (just to uniform syntax)
• then if we use twig bridge.. how to share configuration bw application ... package..

[zofe]

this should be done https://github.com/zofe/rapyd-laravel/blob/master/src/Zofe/Rapyd/DataGrid/Cell.php#L38

 $grid->add('author.name', 'Body')->filter('strip_tags|substr[0,20]');

[tacone]

is the blade syntax still supported?

[zofe]

absolutely yes, I just added a simple method (similar to "rule" syntax of validator) and probably I'll also add the closure .
I need just to find a convention to support php functions where input-value is not the first .. and to support also static classes.

[zofe]

also done

$grid->add('body|strip_tags|substr[0,20]','Body');

[zofe]

also done cell closure.. so now DataGrid support:

$grid->add('body', 'Body')->filter('strip_tags|substr[0,20]');  //filters
$grid->add('body|strip_tags|substr[0,20]','Body');  //inline filters
$grid->add('ucfirst(substr( {{ $body }}, 0,100))', 'Body');  //inline blade

//and closure on value
$grid->add('body', 'Body')->cell( function ($value) {
            return substr(strip_tags($value), 0, 20);
 });

I close this for now.. I think is enough
