## Description

BaraTables helps you turn site data into interactive tables and charts directly 
in WordPress. Build from manual rows, CSV uploads, WordPress content, or an external
MySQL/MariaDB database, then publish the result with a shortcode.

Tables can include search, sorting, pagination, filters, export buttons, column 
visibility controls, and custom control layouts. Charts can be created from any 
BaraTables table and displayed separately with their own shortcode.

BaraTables uses clean, theme-friendly frontend styles by default. It is designed
to look presentable immediately while staying easy to restyle with your theme or
custom CSS.

**Features:**

 * Build tables from WordPress content, CSV files, manual data, or external MySQL/
   MariaDB databases
 * Add search, sorting, pagination, and column filters
 * Use dropdown, multi-select, checkbox, and radio-style filters
 * Export table data to CSV, copy it, or print it
 * Reorder columns and control column visibility
 * Create bar, line, area, pie, and Gantt charts with ECharts
 * Customize table controls, labels, layout, and display options
 * Start with light frontend styles that are easy to override with CSS
 * Import compatible table definitions from JSON

## Installation

 1. Upload the `baratables` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Tables in the admin menu and create your first table.
 4. Use the shortcode `[bara_table id="your-table-slug"]` to embed it.

## FAQ

### What data sources are supported?

CSV files from the media library, manual data entry via the admin editor, WordPress
content, and external MySQL/MariaDB databases.

### How do I add a chart?

Create a table first, then go to Charts and create a new chart linked to that table.
Use `[bara_chart id="your-chart-slug"]` to embed it.

### Can I customize the table appearance?

Yes. The Options tab provides controls for striping, hover effects, borders, compact
mode, pagination style, button labels, search text, and info display. You can also
arrange layout zones for full control over where controls appear.

### Can I style BaraTables with custom CSS?

Yes. BaraTables keeps its frontend design intentionally light so your theme can 
stay in control. You can use your theme stylesheet, the Site Editor, or additional
custom CSS to adjust colors, spacing, typography, borders, and button styles.
