About

The Surge SlickGrid Extensions provided by the Surge Consulting Group is a set of open-sourced tools that will make using grids in your application a breeze. The product can be conceptually broken down into the following:

• A jQuery widget which wraps the open-source SlickGrid tool and gives an api for working with it that is more natural to a jQuery user. This includes the ability to define grid columns in mark-up.
• Various extensions that add some nice bits of functionality to the widget. Including:
  • Use jQuery Templates for Headers, Footers, and formatting columns
  • JSONDataSource object to easily support bottomless scrolling
  • Commonly referenced "Special Columns" and formatter aliases
• A standard set of editors and formatters.
• Utility code in the Surge namespace that is used in implementing the above.
