DataTables widget for Yii2
==========================

[](#datatables-widget-for-yii2)

The extension is inspired by the [yii2-widget-datatables](https://github.com/fedemotta/yii2-widget-datatables) by [fedemotta](https://github.com/fedemotta).

This extension provides the [DataTables](https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables) integration for the Yii2 framework.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

With Composer installed, you can then install the extension using the following commands:

```
$ php composer.phar require jlorente/yii2-datatables "*"
```

or add

```
...
    "require": {
        // ... other configurations ...
        "jlorente/yii2-datatables": "*"
    }
```

to the `require` section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use DataTables as any other other Yii2 widget.

```
use jlorente\datatables\grid\DataTables;
```

```
$searchModel = new ModelSearch();
$dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);

DataTables::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'filterModel' => $searchModel,
    'columns' => [
        ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],

        //columns

        ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
    ],
]);
```

This extension uses the Bootstrap integration plugin to provide a Yii2 style by default.

The TableTools plugin is also available. Specify the DOM and the tableTools settings in the clientOptions array as the following example.

```
DataTables::widget([
    //Other configurations
    'clientOptions' => [
        "lengthMenu"=> [[20,-1], [20,Yii::t('app',"All")]],
        "info"=>false,
        "responsive"=>true,
        "dom"=> 'lfTrtip',
        "tableTools"=>[
            "aButtons"=> [
                [
                "sExtends"=> "copy",
                "sButtonText"=> Yii::t('app',"Copy to clipboard")
                ],[
                "sExtends"=> "csv",
                "sButtonText"=> Yii::t('app',"Save to CSV")
                ],[
                "sExtends"=> "xls",
                "oSelectorOpts"=> ["page"=> 'current']
                ],[
                "sExtends"=> "pdf",
                "sButtonText"=> Yii::t('app',"Save to PDF")
                ],[
                "sExtends"=> "print",
                "sButtonText"=> Yii::t('app',"Print")
                ],
            ]
        ]
    ],
]);
```

You can also use DataTables in the JavaScript layer of your application. To achieve this, you need to include DataTables as a dependency of your Asset file. In this case, you could use yii\\grid\\GridView or using the datatables options retrieve => true to avoid errors. In both case all options must be in the Javascript object.

```
public $depends = [
...
    'jlorente\datatables\assets\DataTablesAsset',
...
];
```
