A simple but powerful library for building data applications in pure Javascript and HTML.
- Open-source (and heavy reuser of existing open-source libraries)
- Pure javascript (no Flash) and designed for integration -- so it is easy to embed in other sites and applications
- View and edit your data in clean grid interface
- Bulk update/clean your data using an easy scripting UI
- Visualize your data
- And more ... see http://reclinejs.com/
Running the tests by opening test/index.html in your browser.
We welcome patches and pull requests and have a few guidelines.
For small bugfixes or enhancements:
- Please run the tests
For larger changes:
- Cleanup your code and affected code parts
- Run the tests from
/test/index.htmlin different browsers (at least Chrome and FF) - Update the documentation and tutorials where necessary
- Update
/_includes/recline-deps.htmlif you change required files (e.g. leaflet libraries) - Try to build the demos in
/demos/with jekyll and then check out the/demos/multiview/which utilizes most aspects of Recline
Possible breaking changes
- Updated Leaflet to latest version 0.4.4 #220
- Added marker clustering in map view to handle a large number of markers
- Dataset.restore method removed (not used internally except from Multiview.restore)
- Views no longer call render in initialize but must be called client code
Lots of breaking changes to the API from v0.4 (should be very few going forwards) including:
- State only stores backend (name) and dataset url (in url field) rather than entire dataset object
- Backends heavily reorganized
- Rename Document -> Record
- Rename DataExplorer view to MultiView
- ...
