DataTable

Data Table is an addition to the core form API which allows the creation of a datatable field type. A data table is a draggable, sortable, table of data. Not only does it provide a table full of editable data, but also allows the developer to define a custom structure to display the data which taps directly into the form API. For example, rather than showing a grid full of text boxes, the developer can specify any of the normal form API elements to be used instead(ie: checkboxes, select lists, text areas, etc..)

Usage

$form['example'] = array(
  '#type' => 'datatable',
  '#draggable' => TRUE,
  '#limit' => 25, // Use 0 for unlimited
  '#structure' => array(
    array(
      '#type' => 'textfield',
      '#title' => t('Name'),
      '#default_value' => NULL,
    ),
    array(
      '#type' => 'select',
      '#title' => t('Favorite Color'),
      '#default_value' => 'red',
      '#options' => array(
        'red' => 'Red', 
        'green' => 'Green', 
        'blue' => 'Blue'
      ),
    ),
    array(
      '#type' => 'checkbox',
      '#title' => t('Likes Cats'),
      '#return_value' => 1,
      '#default_value' => 0,
    )
  ),
  '#value' => array(
    array('John Doe', 'green', 0),
    array('Lauren Ipsum', 'red', 1),
    array('Test', 'blue', 1),
  ),
);
