Add custom filters, extra data rows, more formatting #26
Conversation

Wow! That's really interesting! However, note, that python < 2.7 doesn't support dict comprehensions. |

I've fixed most of my issues (I think I have only one left). The main problem however is that the A typical strack trace is the following: File "/home/apyrgio/playground/django-eztables/eztables/tests.py", line 763, in test_column_search_custom
response = self.get_response('custom-browsers', self.build_query(sSearch_1='1.1'))
File "/home/apyrgio/playground/django-eztables/eztables/tests.py", line 1016, in get_response
return self.client.post(reverse(name), data)
File "/home/apyrgio/playground/django-eztables/.tox/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py", line 481, in reverse
resolver = get_resolver(urlconf)
File "/home/apyrgio/playground/django-eztables/.tox/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/functional.py", line 30, in wrapper
if mem_args in cache:
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'I'll look into it... |

The PR has been updated with a commit that fixes the failing tests that have to do with the url resolving. Briefly put, the problem occurred in tests that requested the same url more than once. By adding another url resolver, it doesn't complain anymore. You can see more in the commit log of the fix. Note that, the fix is rather hackish since I didn't have the time (or the necessary experience) to look into the Django internals. If @noirbizarre has time, I'd suggest he also take a look at it. |

The same CI problems happened with my pull request #24 |

Yes, I believe that the fix you proposed is much cleaner and consistent with the Django documentation. |
Allow the user to choose between server-side and client-side processing, while still asking the data from the server in array or object format.
The user can set a "get_extra_data_row" method, in order to collect extra data for each table row.
Instead of using always values(**...), we should use values_list, if the user has asked for an array-based JSON.
Add `format_data_rows` method that checks if the user has set a `format_data_row` method and maps it to each element of the aaData list. Also, optimize row formatting, meaning that instead of always executing a reqex for every field of every row, run it only when we're sure that we have a formatted field.
The user can trigger his/her custom filters by sending a "sSearch_*"
argument in the Datatables request.
The user can add his/her own filters in the `filters` field of the
DatatablesView class or define one or more `filter_*` methods in this
class. The latter way is similar to the custom sorting approach.
The former way is a bit more flexible and can integrate with the popular
django-filter plugin. More specifically, filters added in the `filters`
field must have one of the following formats:
* List format: [filter1, filter2, filter3]
Note that this format requires that the filters have a `name`
attribute and a `filter` method.
* Dict format: {'name1': filter1, 'name2': filter2, 'name3': filter3}
Note that this format requires that the filters have a `filter`
method.
* Django-filter FilterSet format: Simply a FilterSet class
In order to trigger a filter, its name must match the asterisk part of a
Datatables "sSearch_*" argument. The value of this argument will be
considered as the query for this filter.
Also, note that all list/dict filters should take as an argument a query
and a queryset and return a filtered queryset.

Hi @noirbizarre, I had some time today to work on this pull request. I have added some documentation for the features that this pull request introduces (client-side processing, custom formatting, custom filtering with P.S. The only reason that this Travis CI build fails is because Django 1.7 does not support Python 2.6. The rest of the tests pass. |
Hi @noirbizarre,
I've been using this plugin for some time now and I must say that I've come to enjoy it a lot. Granted, I think there are a few things missing, so I decided to contribute to this project by adding them. I haven't managed to add documentation for them yet, but I provide explanations in the commit logs.
Side note: Given that it's been nine months since this repo has been updated, may I ask if it's still maintained?
