SPJS List as Table

[Brett]

Hi Alexander,

Do you have something using SPJS-Utility to display a large list, 1000+ items in html table format?
I would like to specify my own id= for the table and also specify which columns to be displayed.
I’ve tried dvwp’s but when it comes to displaying all items, my SPD freezes or crashes and when I do save it, the page-load times are 20+ seconds.

I’m using SharePoint 2010 and have custom scripts (Datatables) that convert the columns into live drop-down filters.

Many thanks,

Brett

Hi,
You can use something like this to get a very simple table with all documents in a library named “LargeDocLib”:

function buildCustomTable(){
	var query = "<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='ID' /></IsNotNull></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' /></OrderBy>";
	var viewFields = ["FileLeafRef","Author","ID"];
	var res = spjs_QueryItems({"listName":"LargeDocLib","query":query,"viewFields":viewFields,"scope":"RecursiveAll"});
	var b = [];
	//console.log(res.count);
	$.each(res.items,function(i,item){
		b.push("<tr>")
		$.each(viewFields,function(j,fin){
			b.push("<td valign='top'>"+item[fin]+"</td>")
		});
		b.push("</tr>")
	});
	// change "body" to a placeholder where you want the table to show
	$("body").prepend("<table id='yourCustomTableID'>"+b.join("")+"</table>")
}
buildCustomTable();

You can change the list name (display name or GUID), and the viewFields to match your requirements.

Hope you can make use of this.

Thanks for the code sample Alexander.
I’ll give this a try with your SPJS Utility and JQuery scripts added.
Much appreciated for your time.

HI Alexander,
I tried the script in a cewp and it works great except:

1: It works with body and html tags only and shows as full screen(No menus or ribbon) with no scroll-bars.
2: When I change the “body” tag to anything else, eg: if I have

<span id=tablecode>

, with the tag as

"#tablecode"

, nothing is shown and no JS errors in console.
I’ve tried other classes and id’s with no results.

A) If I can get the table to be displayed in a cewp on a page, that would be awesome.
B) If you have time, is there a way to dynamically display the column headers? otherwise I can add them manually, if this adds more coding?
I’ll send some beers once I can get this working.

Many thanks for your time and efforts.

Hi,
Here is a more complete example – put it in a CEWP in a page:

<style type="text/css">
.customTableRow:nth-child(odd) {
    background: #ccc;
    cursor:defalult;
}
.customTableRow th{
    font-size:16px;
    padding:3px;
}
.customTableRow td{
    font-size:13px;
    padding:3px;
}
</style>

<input type="button" value="Fill table" onclick="buildCustomTable()" />
<div id="putTableHere" style="height:1000px;overflow:auto;border:1px silver solid;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/SPJS/DFFS/plugins/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/SPJS/DFFS/plugins/SPJS-utility.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function buildCustomTable(){
	var query = "<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='ID' /></IsNotNull></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' /></OrderBy>";
	var viewFields = ["FileLeafRef","Author","ID"];
	var res = spjs_QueryItems({"listName":"LargeDocLib","query":query,"viewFields":viewFields,"scope":"RecursiveAll"});
	var b = [];
    var val;
    // Add headers
    b.push("<tr class='customTableRow'>");
    b.push("<th valign='top'>File name</th>");
    b.push("<th valign='top'>Author</th>");
    b.push("<th valign='top'>ID</th>");
    b.push("</tr>");
    // Fill table with all list items
	$.each(res.items,function(i,item){
		b.push("<tr class='customTableRow'>");
		$.each(viewFields,function(j,fin){
            val = item[fin] !== null ? item[fin] : "";
            // You might want to modify the items[fin] to for example strip away the ";#" part of a people picker like this:
            // val = val.split(";#").length > 1 ? val.split(";#")[1] : val;
			b.push("<td valign='top'>"+val+"</td>");
		});
		b.push("</tr>")
	});
	$("#putTableHere").prepend("<table id='yourCustomTableID'>"+b.join("")+"</table>")
}
</script>

You must change the headers to match your fields.

Let me know if you have other question.

Alexander
