This package provides seamless integration between Django REST framework and Datatables with supporting Datatables editor.
- It handles searching, filtering, ordering and most usecases you can imagine with Datatables.
- You don't have to create a different API, your API still work exactly the same .
$ pip install djangorestframework-datatables-editorIf you need the functionality of the editor, you also need to download the data editor from here, the JS+CSS version, and put the downloaded files in static folder.
To enable Datatables support in your project, add 'rest_framework_datatables_editor' to your INSTALLED_APPS, and modify your REST_FRAMEWORK settings like this:
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
'rest_framework_datatables_editor.renderers.DatatablesRenderer',
),
'DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS': (
'rest_framework_datatables_editor.filters.DatatablesFilterBackend',
),
'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework_datatables_editor.pagination.DatatablesPageNumberPagination',
'PAGE_SIZE': 50,
}For using Datatables editor you should use DatatablesEditorModelViewSet instead ModelViewSet or add EditorModelMixin to your views.
Your API is now fully compatible with Datatables and will provide searching, filtering, ordering and pagination without any modification of your API code ! For using Datatables editor you should use DatatablesEditorModelViewSet instead ModelViewSet or add EditorModelMixin to your views.
- The URL for connecting datatables is the URL of your view with
