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.
