TableJS - HTML table generator by pure Javascript code.

TableJS facilitates dynamic creation of HTML tables from Javascript code.

Implements event handlers for each row created (rowDataBound).

How to use

<style>
    .myTable {
    
        border: 1px solid #000;
    }

    .myTable tr td {
    
        border: 1px solid #000;
    }

</style>

<script src="tablejs.js"></script>

<div id="divContainer">
</div>

<script>

    var divContainer = document.getElementById("divContainer");

    var data = [
        {
            id: 1, name: "André", genre : "M"
        },
        {
            id: 2, name: "Vanessa", genre: "F"
        },
        {
            id: 3, name: "Malu", genre: "F"
        },
        {
            id: 4, name: "Amy", genre: "D"
        },
    ]

    var trTemplate = "<tr data-id=\"{id}\"> " +
                        "  <td>{name}</td>" +
                        "  <td data-genre=\"{genre}\"></td>" +
                        "  <td><a href=\"#\" data-ok>OK</a></td>" +
                    "</tr>"

    tablejs.generate(divContainer, data, trTemplate, {
        tableClassName: "myTable",
        columnsTitle: ["Name (My Family)", "Genre", ""],
        emptyText: "No rows.",
        rowDataBound: function (rowDOM, rowData) {

            var genreDetails = "";

            switch (rowData.genre) {
                case "M": {
                    genreDetails = "Male";
                    break;
                }
                case "F": {
                    genreDetails = "Female";
                    break;
                }
                case "D": {
                    genreDetails = "Dog";
                    break;
                }
            }

            rowDOM.querySelector("[data-genre]").innerHTML = genreDetails;

            rowDOM.querySelector("[data-ok]").onclick = function () {

                var id = this.closest("tr").getAttribute("data-id");
                alert(id);
            };
