Customizing the Google Data table :

Before this I have created new application , configure database and created products scaffold . After all are working I created google data table . I am showin results at below url : http://localhost:3000/items/products.

In controller :

class ItemsController < ApplicationController

This for supply data to google table .

def products
    @products = Product.all

end 

end

Google Data Table :

It shows data in two dimension . Here I am explaining about that topic with a example .

In Items/prodcucts.html.erb

Customization completed start server . c:\grid_view> rails s

Then open in browser : http://localhost:3000/items/products This url shows data in table format with sorting also .
