@akian0 thanks for the feedback! I've not made any documentation yet as I've not fully completed the first version of the plugin, but I will surely make lots of documentation including screen casts as soon as it's all done. as a quick teaser see the following:

$grid = Grid::factory('customers_grid', Model_Customer::init()->with('country'))
   ->add_column('first_name', array(
    'index'  => 'first_name',
    'label'  => 'First Name',
   ))
   ->add_column('last_name', array(
    'index'  => 'last_name',
    'label'  => 'Last Name',
   ))
   ->add_column('created_at', array(
    'index'  => 'created_at',
    'label'  => 'Created At',
    'renderer' => 'date',
    'width'  => 100,
    'align'  => 'center',
   ))
   ->add_column('region_name', array(
    'index'  => 'region:name',
    'label'  => 'Region',
   ))
   ->add_massaction('create_invoice', array(
    'action' => 'test/url/mass_create_invoice',
    'label'  => 'Create Invoice',
   ))
   ->render();

Be sure you merge the contents of the assets folder with the assets folder in your public folder./Users/bencorlett My mate and I will have some screen casts done up very soon. we use screen flow and because we're both registered apple devs we're using mac os x lion, and screen flow isn't working with mac os x lion so we're going to have to do it on another computer.

Hi there,
Your grid package looks really nice!
To give it a try, I used something like your teaser code example above.
(With the latest version of Spark from the github repo, Fuel RC2 and fuel's orm package).

$grid = Grid::factory('customers_grid', Model_Customer::init())
   ->add_column('first_name', array(
    'index'  => 'first_name',
    'label'  => 'First Name',
   ))
   ->add_column('last_name', array(
    'index'  => 'last_name',
    'label'  => 'Last Name',
   ))
   ->add_column('created_at', array(
    'index'  => 'created_at',
    'label'  => 'Created At',
    'renderer' => 'date',
    'width'  => 100,
    'align'  => 'center',
   ))
   ->add_massaction('create_invoice', array(
    'action' => 'test/url/mass_create_invoice',
    'label'  => 'Create Invoice',
   ))
   ->render();

Then assuming that the $grid variable now contains some View (the container), I passed it strait away from my controller to some view :

$this->response->body = $grid;

But this gave me the error : "[Error]: Call to a member function get_identifier() on a non-object".
(PKGPATH/spark/views/grid/table.php @ line 30)
when doing

<table class="<?=$grid->get_identifier()?>" ...

What am I doing wrong?
