IT:AD:AirTable:HowTo:Embed

Airtable takes a different tack then IT:AD:Ragic when it comes to embedding: they use an IFRAME instead of embedding JS. Ragic also offers multiple ways of downloading the data (csv, excel, etc.) which is practical.

  • Ragic has more options. But still offers to no way to prefilter the view.
  • Ragic only offers 1000 records for free. Maybe that's enough?
  • Ragic has a really poor solution for line returns [br], which is as awful as Dokuwiki's reliance for // * Airtable offers no params (all controlled on the server side, when you make the views)
  • Ragic doesn't offer a means to export/download the CSV, whereas Airtable does – that's useful.
  • Airtable doesn't create the CSV based on the filter provided, meaning the output has to be filtered in Excel. That's super annoying.

You just need one line:

<iframe class="airtable-embed" src="https://airtable.com/embed/shrvW411uGEsikI26?backgroundColor=gray&layout=card&viewControls=on" frameborder="0" onmousewheel="" width="100%" height="533" style="background: transparent; border: 1px solid #ccc;"></iframe>

in order to get something like this (unfortunately, everything is controlled on the server side):
