UIKernel is a lib, built in React, with a CRUD wrapper for building complex admin dashboards.

UIKernel tries to avoid unnecessary abstractions, giving you the opportunity to define a model as you want. Nevertheless, it includes basic implementation examples that work with client data and models linking server and client interface using API.

Features

• Data Grid

  • Interact with data. You can set up grid not only to display data but to add new records, update or delete them.

  • Filtering. UIKernel grid supports filtering by different fields.

  • Sorting & pagination. Sort data by default order or by user choice and paginate the data.

  • Data export. Export grid data in JSON or CSV formats for further interaction.

  • Bulk operations.

• Forms

  • Form management. FormService and @connectForm decorator simplify development of forms.

  • Grid to Form model adapters. You can use Grid models in forms.

• Validation. Use UIKernel validators to check fields on client, or both on client and the server. Also supports custom validation rules.

• Data source. Pass data from a static array, a REST service or any other source to the UIKernel model.

• Convenient inputs. Each form input or grid cell can be edited, including: a date picker, suggest box, number, select, checkbox.

• Synchronize multiple components. Automatic synchronization of multiple forms and grids with a shared data model.

Getting Started

To get started:

1. Setup Create React App in terminal

# Setup React boilerplate
npm install -g create-react-app
create-react-app react-app
cd react-app

# Install UIKernel
npm i uikernel

2. Open up src/index.js and replace all with:

 import React from 'react';
 import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 import UIKernel from 'uikernel';
 import 'uikernel/themes/base/main.css';

 // You can implement own data source with GridModel interface
 const model = new UIKernel.Models.Grid.Collection({
   data: [
     [1, {
       name: 'Pace',
       surname: 'White',
       age: 20
     }],
     [2, {
       name: 'Evangeline',
       surname: 'Terrell',
       age: 72
     }],
     [3, {
       name: 'Roach',
       surname: 'Potts',
       age: 14
     }]
   ]
 });

 const columns = {
   name: {
     name: 'First Name',
     render: ['name', record => record.name]
   },
   surname: {
     name: 'Last Name',
     render: ['surname', record => record.surname]
   },
   age: {
     name: 'Age',
     render: ['age', record => record.age]
   }
 };

 ReactDOM.render(
   <UIKernel.Grid cols={columns} model={model}/>,
   document.getElementById('root')
 );

3. Try it out using npm start

As you can see, we've passed UIKernel.Grid two props: cols and model. We've defined these props in the columns and model script parts as you can see in comments.

Then, to create a grid model, we've used UIKernel.Models.Grid.Collection.

And that's all. Here's the live demo and code.
