So I’m writing some classes to adapt MongoDB into this nice tool. I’m currently using the default json format in order to populate the table. Because of the nature of mongodb, it is quite possible for a column to be out of order, or even completely missing from one record to the next. Is it possible to point to a column name rather than just the position?
I no longer need this answer, as I believe even if it is possible, I’d still run into problems with the column missing. I’m writing a PHP class in order to handle the entire process of creating a jqTable and query Mongo. It will handle keeping columns in order, and ensure keys that are missing are placed in as null.
If you feel compelled though for Googler’s sake’s, have at it
