Implementing Datatables in Django

Posted on

datatables

 

DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, built upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, that adds all of these advanced features to any HTML table.

I've been using this plug-in for almost every project that I'm involve with. It has a built-in search, sorting and pagination facility. Less hassle and simple to implement specially in dealing with huge datasets such as 100,000+ or even millions. It's UI can be in Bootstrap, among others.

Implementing it in Django requires proper format, it should follow the required structure of JSON and the table itself.

Django views.py and urls.py

Create a function in views.py that will handle sorting, searching and pagination of your table. To start,


In your HTML file.

Some common error encountered is on columns, make sure the index are properly matched!

  Keep track of your Splinterlands assets or income by using this tool: http://kagkaghair.herokuapp.com/spl/calculate All you have to do is key in your username in Splinterlands.  The values are rough estimates only, exchange rates are fetch from coingecko and your DEC, CREDITS and CARDS are from Splinterlands API. The values are in PHP and computed using the following method: DEC value is computed by multiplying your DEC to its rate in peso.

SPS value is computed by multiplying your SPS to its rate in peso. CREDITS is computed by dividing it in 1000 and multiplying to dollar to peso exchange rate.

I guess because in B3 the only ruleset is Standard (no restrictions except mana costs) making it hard to select/build your splinter in battle.  In this post, I'll be sharing my water deck. I rented the cards below. Summoner : Alric Stormbringer +1 Magic to splinters and just 3 mana cost. This makes this summoner great. Tank :  Lobstradamus   For its hit points at 9 and ability to reduce damage from melee and range attacker, and just 6 mana cost this is a great tank although it is slow. Adding the +1 magic from Alric, you have 2 direct damage per attack. Support: Venari Wavesmith   This card adds armor to friendly monsters (plus +2 direct damage per turn), although it has 5 mana cost having this gives your low HP splinters protection fr...
