Wagtail Tables

jspreadsheet tables in Wagtail, edited and customised from the Wagtail admin

Getting started

Assuming you have a Wagtail project up and running:

pip install wagtailtables

Add wagtailtables to your settings.py in the INSTALLED_APPS section, before the core wagtail packages:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'wagtailtables',
    # ...
]

Add a wagtailtables TableBlock to one of your StreamFields:

from wagtailtables.blocks import TableBlock

class ContentBlocks(StreamBlock):
    table_block = TableBlock()

Include your streamblock in one of your pages

class HomePage(Page):
    body = StreamField(ContentBlocks())

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        StreamFieldPanel('body'),
    ]

Simply render your table block as you would render any other block.

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% block content %}
<div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-6">
            <h1>{{self.title}}</h1>
            <div class="excerpt">{{self.excerpt|richtext}}</div>
        </div>
    </div>
    {% for block in self.body %}
        {% include_block block %}
    {% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}

Configuration

Customized toolbar

TableBlock accepts a toolbar argument in addition to the standard StructBlock arguments.

The toolbar is an array of dicts, this is the default:

TOOLBAR = [
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'format_align_left', 'k': 'text-align', 'v': 'left'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'format_align_center', 'k':'text-align', 'v':'center'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'format_align_right', 'k': 'text-align', 'v': 'right'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'format_bold', 'k': 'font-weight', 'v': '600'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'format_italic', 'k': 'font-style', 'v': 'italic'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'border_left', 'k': 'border-left', 'v': '1px solid'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'border_right', 'k': 'border-right', 'v': '1px solid'},
    {'type': 'i', 'content': 'border_top', 'k': 'border-top', 'v': '1px solid'},
]

class ContentBlocks(StreamBlock):
    table_block = TableBlock(toolbar=TOOLBAR)

type should for now always be i for icon, we will provide more types later

content defines the icon (from material icons) click here for all possible keys

k means the style that should be applied to the cell

v means the value of the style should be applied to the cell
