Tile View (JavaScript)

This node provides a tile view where each data row is displayed as one tile. The view offers several interactive features, as well as the possibility to select rows.

The node supports custom CSS styling. You can simply put CSS rules into a single string and set it as a flow variable 'customCSS' in the node configuration dialog. You will find the list of available classes and their description on our documentation page.

Formatters

The JavaScript Tile View maps the KNIME table data types to types in JavaScript. The types that can be displayed are:

  • Boolean
  • Number (double, integer, etc.)
  • String
  • Date and Time (legacy)
  • Zoned Date and Time
  • Local Date and Time
  • Local Date
  • Local Time
  • PNG
  • SVG
All other data types will be treated as UNKNOWN types. The node tries to display them by extracting their respective standard string representation.

If you wish to customize the format for certain data types you can use the following options. For unknown types the formatting has to be applied in preceding nodes.

Date and Time types Date and Time values are converted into string using the selected or entered conversion pattern as defined by moment.js. Examples:
  • "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a" formats dates like "Sunday, February 14th 2010, 3:25:50 pm"
  • "ddd, hA" formats dates like "Sun, 3PM"
  • "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ" formats dates as defined by ISO 8601.
Some valid pattern elements are:
  • Y: year
  • Q: quarter
  • M: month of year
  • W: week of year
  • DDD: day of year
  • D: day of month
  • d: day of week
  • dd: day of week (Su Mo ... Fr Sa)
  • a: am/pm marker
  • H: hour in day (0-23)
  • k: hour in day (1-24)
  • h: hour in am/pm (1-12)
  • m: minute in hour
  • s: second in minute
  • S: millisecond
  • z: Time zone (EST CST ... MST PST)
  • Z: Time zone (offset)
  • X: unix timestamp
Localized formats:
  • LT: Time (e.g. 8:30 PM)
  • LTS: Time with seconds (e.g. 8:30:25 PM)
  • L: Month numeral (0 padded), day of month (0 padded), year (e.g. 09/04/1986)
  • l: Month numeral, day of month, year (e.g. 9/4/1986)
  • LL: Month name, day of month, year (e.g. September 4 1986)
  • ll: Month name (short), day of month, year (e.g. Sep 4 1986)
  • LLL: Month name, day of month, year, time (e.g. September 4 1986 8:30 PM)
  • lll: Month name (short), day of month, year, time (e.g. Sep 4 1986 8:30 PM)
  • LLLL: Month name, day of month, day of week, year, time (e.g. Thursday, September 4 1986 8:30 PM)
  • llll: Month name (short), day of month, day of week (short), year, time (e.g. Thu, Sep 4 1986 8:30 PM)
For printing an arbitrary string, wrap the string in square brackets, e.g. '[today] dddd'.
