simple pivot tables generation script out of any JSON encoded array of objects

Pivot Tables

Creating Pivot Tables in JavaScript

Usage example

the usage example can be seen in ./index.html

Define dataset

an example dataset can be seen in ./dataset/mps.json though it's just a simple array of json objects (preferably of the same structure)

[ 
    {"Province": "Quebec", "Party": "NDP", "Age": 22, "Name": "Liu, Laurin", "Gender": "Female"},
    {"Province": "Quebec", "Party": "Bloc Quebecois", "Age": 43, "Name": "Mourani, Maria", "Gender": "Female"}
]

Transform Data to a Model

var model = new Model(
    ['_row','am','carb','cyl','disp','drat','gear','hp','mpg','qsec','vs','wt'],
    dataset
);

a model should contain columns list as a first variable, and the dataset as a second

Create a query object, that would be the interface for handling model data

var query = new Query();

there is a ready example of a query, but you can craete your own with a simmilar interface

Render everything

var renderer = new PivotTableRenderer(
    $('.container'),
    query,
    model,
    ['Party', 'Gender Imbalance'],
    ['Age Bin', 'Gender']
);

last two arguments represent rows and columns to group by the data

Define custom aggregate functions

renderer.render(function(model) { return model.getDataset().length; });

and aggregation function gets model (representing a dataset of a given grouping) as first parameter

TODO

• add custom events/classes for binding additional functionality to the table
• add promises for data manipulation within the renderer
