Overview
--------
This package provides seamless integration between `Django REST framework <https://www.django-rest-framework.org>`_ and `Datatables <https://datatables.net>`_ with supporting `Datatables editor <https://editor.datatables.net>`_.
- 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 .
How to use
----------
Install
~~~~~~~
.. code:: bash
$ pip install djangorestframework-datatables-editor
If you need the functionality of the editor, you also need to download the data editor from `here <https://editor.datatables.net/download/>`_, the JS+CSS version, and put the downloaded files in ``static`` folder.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To enable Datatables support in your project, add ``'rest_framework_datatables_editor'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``, and modify your ``REST_FRAMEWORK`` settings like this:
.. code:: python
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.
And that's it !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
