A group of plugins for responsive tables.

Overview

Tablesaw is a set of plugins designed specifically for creating responsive tables that adapt seamlessly to various screen sizes. With its innovative features, it aims to enhance the user experience, whether you are browsing on a mobile device or a desktop. The project, developed by Filament Group, provides multiple modes to cater to different data display needs, making tables not just functional but also user-friendly.

What sets Tablesaw apart is its focus on responsiveness and usability, allowing users to interact with table content effectively regardless of the layout. By enabling options such as Stack Mode and Column Toggle Mode, Tablesaw ensures that critical information remains accessible without compromising on readability, even when viewed on smaller screens.

Features

  • Stack Mode: Converts table headers into a two-column layout for optimal viewing on smaller devices, keeping data organized and accessible.
  • Column Toggle Mode: Lets users select which columns to display, enabling them to customize their view according to their needs.
  • Swipe Mode: Offers gesture navigation for columns, making it easy to swipe through data on touch devices while providing a Mini-Map for visual reference.
  • Mini-Map Addition: Enhances navigation with little dots that indicate the visible columns, helping users quickly locate data while scrolling.
  • Header Management: Configurable visibility of headers for empty cells, fostering a cleaner and more organized appearance in the table.
  • Data Priority Control: Users can prioritize which columns appear at different breakpoints, allowing granular control over data presentation on various devices.
  • Overflow Management: Ideal for wide tables, this feature restricts scrolling to the table, preventing page-level scrollbars for a smoother viewing experience.
