Work in Progress. Not ready for production

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require "nullref/yii2-datatables" "*"

or add

"nullref/yii2-datatables": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Basic Usage

<?= \nullref\datatable\DataTable::widget([
    'data' => $dataProvider->getModels(),
    'columns' => [
        'id',
        'name',
        'email'
    ],
]) ?>

Add Links to row

    <?= \nullref\datatable\DataTable::widget([
        'columns' => [
            //other columns
            [
                'class' => 'nullref\datatable\LinkColumn',
                'url' => ['/model/delete'],
                'options' => ['data-confirm' => 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?', 'data-method' => 'post'],
                'queryParams' => ['id'],
                'label' => 'Delete',
            ],
        ],
    ]) ?>

Properties of LinkColumn:

• label - text placed in a tag;
• url - will be passed to Url::to();
• options - HTML options of the a tag;
• queryParams - array of params added to url

Styling

DataTables supports several styling solutions, including Bootstrap, jQuery UI, Foundation.

'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'nullref\datatable\DataTableAsset' => [
            'styling' => \nullref\datatable\DataTableAsset::STYLING_BOOTSTRAP,
        ]
    ],
],

Custom assets

It's posible to use custom styles and scripts:

'nullref\datatable\DataTableAsset' => [
    'sourcePath' => '@webroot/js/plugin/datatables/',
    'js' => [
        'jquery.dataTables-1.10-cust.js',
        'DT_bootstrap.js',
    ],
    'css' => [
        'data-table.css',
    ],
    'styling' => false,
]

Server-side processing

To enable server-side processing add DataTableAction to controller like this:

 class SomeController extends Controller
 {
     public function actions()
     {
         return [
             'datatables' => [
                 'class' => 'nullref\datatable\DataTableAction',
                 'query' => Model::find(),
             ],
         ];
     }
     
}

Searching and ordering can be customized using closures

public function actions()
{
    return [
         'datatables' => [
             'class' => 'nullref\datatable\DataTableAction',
             'query' => Model::find(),
             'applyOrder' => function($query, $columns, $order) {
                //custom ordering logic
                return $query;
             },
             'applyFilter' => function($query, $columns, $search) {
                //custom search logic
                return $query;
             },
         ],
    ];
}

In DataTable options specify:

{
    "serverSide": true,
    "ajax": "/datatables"
}
