Overview
========

[](#overview)

This library acts as a server-side processor for the [Datatables](http://www.datatables.net) plugin, written for [jQuery.](http://www.jquery.com)

The plugin made for the jQuery JS library is a configurable table renderer for the front-end. This library is meant for interacting with data on the server side that may be requested from the front-end plugin.

Datatables processes and manipulates data in one of two ways: client side and server side.

Communication Protocols
-----------------------

[](#communication-protocols)

Both versions of the Datatables communication protocol are supported.

- [Legacy](http://legacy.datatables.net/usage/server-side) (version 1.9 and lower)
- [Modern/Current](http://www.datatables.net) (version 1.10 and higher)

Features
--------

[](#features)

Features in this library:

- Supports and auto-detects both Datables protocols
- Able to process, filter, order, paginate data on [server side](https://datatables.net/reference/option/serverSide)

### Server-Side Processing

[](#server-side-processing)

The strength of this library lies in its ability to perform server side pagination, filtering, ordering, and other result set manipulation.

This is a big advantage when large data sets are involved. Problems arise with the use of large data sets and the way that the Datatables jQuery plugin handles them when client-side processing.

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

[](#installation)

This library uses [Composer](http://www.getcomposer.org) as its package manager.

Add this library to your composer.json in one of two ways.

composer.json

```
"require": {
  "mclassic/datatables": "dev-master"
}
```
