bloggifySequelizeDatatableViews()

Visualize Sequelize data in data tables.

When using this plugin, the Bloggify.partials.datatable_view will be available and will require the following parameters:

• columns (Array of Strings): The table headers. If you need special actions, you can pass HTML.
• name (String): The model name (e.g. users)
• type (String): The table type (default | compact)

Example:

<div class="bg-light p-3 rounded mt-5 table-responsive">
    <%
        include(Bloggify.partials.datatable_view, {
            columns: [
                "ID",
                "Email",
                "First Name",
                "Last Name",
                "Roles",
                "Actions",
            ],
            name: "users",
            type: "compact" // or "default"
        })
    %>
</div>

💡 Note: You have to initialize the datatables in your own JavaScript code.

tableDraw(headers, models, options)

Generates the action to draw the table.

Assets.tableDraw = Bloggify.services.utils.tableDraw([
    "id",
    "serial_number",
    "user.email",
    "file.id"
], {
    base: Bloggify.models.Document,
    include: [
        Bloggify.models.File
      , Bloggify.models.User
    ]
}, {
    searchFields: [
        "serial_number",
        "$user.email$",
    ],
    output: [
        "id",
        "serial_number",
        "user.email",
        // Return null elements if on the client
        // side you want to have empty columns
        // populated via JavaScript
        null, null,
        // This will resolve into an object with these fields
        [ "edit_url", "delete_url" ]
    ],
    beforeQuery (ctx, findQuery) {
       // For example, restrict the results
       // to a specific user id
       findQuery.where.userId = ctx.user.id
    }
})

The above will resolve to the following:

{
    data: [
      [
         42,            // id
         143,           // serial_number
         "[email protected]", // email
         null,
         null,
         {
             edit_url: "...",
             delete_url: "...
         }
      ]
    ],
    draw: <timestamp>,
    recordsFiltered: <count>,
    recordsTotal: <total>
}
