# Tables
|
|
|
|
NetBox employs the [`django-tables2`](https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/) library for rendering dynamic object tables. These tables display lists of objects, and can be sorted and filtered by various parameters.
|
|
|
|
## NetBoxTable
|
|
|
|
To provide additional functionality beyond what is supported by the stock `Table` class in `django-tables2`, NetBox provides the `NetBoxTable` class. This custom table class includes support for:
|
|
|
|
* User-configurable column display and ordering
|
|
* Custom field & custom link columns
|
|
* Automatic prefetching of related objects
|
|
|
|
It also includes several default columns:
|
|
|
|
* `pk` - A checkbox for selecting the object associated with each table row (where applicable)
|
|
* `id` - The object's numeric database ID, as a hyperlink to the object's view (hidden by default)
|
|
* `actions` - A dropdown menu presenting object-specific actions available to the user
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# tables.py
|
|
import django_tables2 as tables
|
|
from netbox.tables import NetBoxTable
|
|
from .models import MyModel
|
|
|
|
class MyModelTable(NetBoxTable):
|
|
name = tables.Column(
|
|
linkify=True
|
|
)
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
class Meta(NetBoxTable.Meta):
|
|
model = MyModel
|
|
fields = ('pk', 'id', 'name', ...)
|
|
default_columns = ('pk', 'name', ...)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Table Configuration
|
|
|
|
The NetBoxTable class features dynamic configuration to allow users to change their column display and ordering preferences. To configure a table for a specific request, simply call its `configure()` method and pass the current HTTPRequest object. For example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
table = MyModelTable(data=MyModel.objects.all())
|
|
table.configure(request)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will automatically apply any user-specific preferences for the table. (If using a generic view provided by NetBox, table configuration is handled automatically.)
|
|
|
|
