This will return all the data that DataTables expects including all the relevant rows from the database.
# File app/datatables/subjects_datatable.rb, line 6 def as_json(options = {}) conditions = if params[:sSearch].present? ["LOWER(name) LIKE :q", q: "%#{params[:sSearch].downcase}%"] else {} end as_datatable(Subject.includes(:courses), conditions) end
This fetches the correct page of data in the correct order.
# File app/datatables/subjects_datatable.rb, line 16 def data_hash(subject) { id: subject.id, name: link_to(subject.name, admin_subject_courses_path(subject)), description: subject.description, sub_subjects: link_to(subject.courses_count, admin_subject_courses_path(subject)), action: admin_action_link(subject) } end
Provide the sequence in which columns to be sorted.
