GridViewv1.0

This tutorial explains how to use a core PHP class to create structured tables for displaying custom data within a site's admin dashboard. It is intended for developers building plugins or themes who need to present database information in a familiar, functional interface.

Extending the Core Class: The guide details creating a child class that inherits from the core table class, overriding its methods to define custom data sources and column behavior.

Custom Columns and Sorting: It shows how to specify which database fields to display as columns and how to make those columns sortable by the user with a click.

Bulk Action Handling: The tutorial covers implementing bulk operations, such as deleting multiple records at once, which integrates with the table's checkbox selection.

Data Preparation and Pagination: A key section explains the prepare_items method, which is responsible for querying data, applying filters, and setting up pagination to manage large datasets efficiently.

Integration with Admin Menus: The final steps demonstrate how to embed the fully functional table into a custom admin menu page, ensuring it uses the standard dashboard styling and user interactions.
