ColumnMeta

Introduction #

ColumnMeta is a process to alter your data meta information such as "label", "type", "prefix", "suffix" for all kinds of data, "decimals", "decimalPoint", "thousandSeparator" for numeric data, or "format", "displayFormat" for datetime data.

Example #

<?php
class MyReport extends \koolreport\KoolReport
{
    public function setup()
    {
        ...
        ->pipe(new \koolreport\processes\ColumnMeta(array(
            "productName" => array(
                "label" => "Product",
                "type" => "string",
                "prefix" => "prefix_",
                "suffix" => "_suffix",
            ),
            "dollar_sales" => array(
                "type" => "number",
                "decimals" => 2,
                "decimalPoint" => ".",
                "thousandSeparator" => ",",
            ),
            "orderDate" => array(
                "type" => "datetime",
                "format" => "Y-m-d H:i:s",
                "displayFormat" => "Y-m-d"
            )
        )))
        ...
    }
}

Code explanation:

In the above example, we change "productName" column's meta to string type, "dollar_sales"'s to numeric one, and "orderDate"'s to datetime one.
