Has anyone used an AJAX data grid with Rails?
I am rebuilding a copy of the venture source web site as a first ruby/
rails exercise. If anyone has used a javascript data grid with
Rails, I would appreciate sample code, or notes on your experience.
The controller action would presumably communicate with the data grid
component running on the browser by extracting data from a relational
DBMS into a model, and then serializing that into XML or JSON which
the Javascript component could import. However, if there was a way
of bypassing the generation of an intermediate XML | JSON
representation, by injecting data into a rails-compatible server-side
component that sent the entire grid component (preloaded with data
from the rails model) as javascript to the client, that might be
simpler.
