resTables - jQuery plugin for responsive tables

The resTables jQuery plugin allows you to easily make your table responsive. It has been created based on the stacktable.js concept by John Polacek.

Installation

You can download the plugin regular way or use the npm to install it:

npm install restables --save 

Usage

The initialization of the plugin is simple:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('table').resTables();
});

Make sure to add the necessary CSS classes to display and hide both tables under certain window sizes:

table.restables-clone {
    display: none;
}

@media (max-width: 991px) {
    table.restables-origin {
        display: none;
    }
    
    table.restables-clone {
        display: table;
    }
}

How it works

When the script is initialized it will create a sibling table but with 2-column layout only. Consider the following table structure:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Header 1</th>
            <th>Header 2</th>
            <th>Header 3</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Value A1</td>
            <td>Value A2</td>
            <td>Value A3</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Value B1</td>
            <td>Value B2</td>
            <td>Value B3</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Based on the above the plugin will create a new table with this structure:

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 1</td>
            <td>Value A1</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 2</td>
            <td>Value A2</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 3</td>
            <td>Value A3</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 1</td>
            <td>Value B1</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 2</td>
            <td>Value B2</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Header 3</td>
            <td>Value B3</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Options

merge

Default value: {}

An object containing columns that will be merged with other columns. In the below example columns with indexes $2 and $3 will be merged with column $1 and column $6 will be merged with column $5.

// Example
$('#my-table').resTables({
    merge: {
        1: [2, 3], 
        5: [6]
    }
});

move

Default value: {}

An object containing columns that will be moved. In the below example column with index $1 will be placed at the top of the new table (index $0) and column $6 as the second row with index $1.

$('#my-table').resTables({
    move: {
        1: 0,
        6: 1
    }
});

skip

Default value: []

An array of columns that should be skipped in the cloned table. In the below example columns with indexes $3 and $5 will not be present in the new table.

// Example
$('#my-table').resTables({
    skip: [3, 5]
});

span

Default value: []

An array of columns that should be spanned - the colspan="2" attribute will be added. In the below example columns with indexes $2 and $4 will have the colspan="2" attribute added and will appear as one cell.
