gdtest-tbl-explorer
A showcase site demonstrating the tbl_explorer() function from Great Docs. Each user-guide page exercises a different combination of data sources, interactive features, and display options.
Interactive table explorer showcase exercising tbl_explorer() with eight user-guide pages: basic sorting/filtering, pagination (custom page sizes, no pagination), column toggling (wide tables, subsets, toggle disabled), copy/download controls (various combinations), missing-value highlighting, minimal chrome (hide row numbers, dtypes, dimensions), tbl-explorer Quarto shortcode with CSV/TSV/JSONL files, and a side-by-side comparison of tbl_preview() vs tbl_explorer().

01-basic-explorer.qmd
---
title: Basic Explorer
---
The `tbl_explorer()` function creates interactive tables with
sorting, filtering, pagination, and more.
## Default Options
Pass a dictionary and get a fully interactive table:
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_cities
tbl_explorer(sample_cities())
```
Try clicking column headers to sort, or type in the filter box.
## With Caption
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(sample_cities(), caption="World Cities")
```
## Product Catalog
```{python}
#| echo: false
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_products
tbl_explorer(sample_products(), caption="Product Catalog")
```02-pagination.qmd
---
title: Pagination
---
With larger datasets, `tbl_explorer()` paginates automatically.
## Default Page Size (20 rows)
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_large
tbl_explorer(sample_large(200), caption="200 Employees")
```
## Custom Page Size (10 rows)
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(sample_large(200), page_size=10, caption="10 per page")
```
## Large Page Size (50 rows)
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(sample_large(200), page_size=50, caption="50 per page")
```
## No Pagination
Set `page_size=0` to show all rows at once:
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(sample_large(30), page_size=0, caption="All 30 rows")
```03-column-toggle.qmd
---
title: Column Toggling
---
Use the **Columns** dropdown in the toolbar to show/hide columns.
## Wide Table
This table has 16 columns — try hiding some:
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_wide
tbl_explorer(sample_wide(10, 15), caption="Wide Metrics Table")
```
## Column Subset
Pre-select specific columns with `columns=`:
```{python}
#| echo: false
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_cities
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
columns=["city", "country", "population"],
caption="Cities — 3 columns only",
)
```
## Toggle Disabled
Set `column_toggle=False` to remove the dropdown:
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
column_toggle=False,
caption="No column toggle",
)
```04-copy-download.qmd
---
title: Copy & Download
---
The toolbar includes **Copy** (TSV to clipboard) and **Download**
(CSV file) buttons.
## Full Controls
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_products
tbl_explorer(sample_products(), caption="Copy or download this table")
```
## Copy Only (No Download)
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_products(),
downloadable=False,
caption="Copy button only",
)
```
## Download Only (No Copy)
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_products(),
copyable=False,
caption="Download button only",
)
```
## No Export Controls
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_products(),
copyable=False,
downloadable=False,
caption="No export buttons",
)
```05-missing-values.qmd
---
title: Missing Values
---
Missing values (`None`, `NaN`) are highlighted in red by default.
## Default Highlighting
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_missing
tbl_explorer(sample_missing(), caption="Missing values highlighted")
```
## Highlighting Off
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_missing(),
highlight_missing=False,
caption="Missing values NOT highlighted",
)
```06-minimal-chrome.qmd
---
title: Minimal Chrome
---
Strip away table chrome for a clean, data-focused look.
## No Row Numbers
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_cities
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
show_row_numbers=False,
caption="No row numbers",
)
```
## No Dtype Labels
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
show_dtypes=False,
caption="No dtype labels",
)
```
## No Header Banner
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
show_dimensions=False,
caption="No header banner",
)
```
## Fully Minimal
No row numbers, no dtypes, no dimensions — just the data and controls:
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
show_row_numbers=False,
show_dtypes=False,
show_dimensions=False,
caption="Fully minimal",
)
```
## Filter Only (No Other Controls)
```{python}
#| echo: false
tbl_explorer(
sample_cities(),
sortable=False,
column_toggle=False,
copyable=False,
downloadable=False,
caption="Filter only",
)
```07-shortcode.qmd
---
title: Shortcode Explorer
---
The `{{< tbl-explorer >}}` shortcode embeds interactive tables
from data files — no Python code cells needed.
## CSV File
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/cities.csv" >}}
## With Caption
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/cities.csv" caption="World Cities (shortcode)" >}}
## TSV File
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/products.tsv" caption="Products (TSV)" >}}
## JSONL File
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/logs.jsonl" caption="Server Logs (JSONL)" >}}
## Custom Options
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/cities.csv" page_size="5" caption="5 per page" >}}
## No Filter
{{< tbl-explorer file="assets/cities.csv" filterable="false" caption="No filter input" >}}08-comparison.qmd
---
title: Preview vs Explorer
---
Compare the static `tbl_preview()` with the interactive
`tbl_explorer()` side by side.
## Static Preview
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_preview
from gdtest_tbl_explorer import sample_cities
tbl_preview(sample_cities(), caption="Static preview")
```
## Interactive Explorer
```{python}
#| echo: false
from great_docs import tbl_explorer
tbl_explorer(sample_cities(), caption="Interactive explorer")
```
The explorer adds a toolbar with filter, column toggle, copy,
download, and reset controls. Column headers are sortable.
The static preview is lighter and works without JavaScript.README.md
