Template tags¶

Initialization¶

You can either:

load the template tag lib into each template manually:

{% load eztables %}

load the template tag lib by adding to your views.py:

from django.template import add_to_builtins

add_to_builtins('eztables.templatetags.eztables')

Usage¶

datatables_js¶

A {% datatables_js %} tag is available to include the datatables javascript library. After loading, you can use the Datatables library as usual:

<table id="my-table">
</table>

{% datatables_js %}
<script>
    $('#my-table').dataTable();
</script>

bootstrap support¶

If you want to use the twitter bootstrap style (based on this blog post), 2 template tags are provided for:

{% datatables_bootstrap_js %} for the javascript part.

{% datatables_bootstrap_css %} for the css part.

<head>
    {% datatables_bootstrap_css %}

    {% datatables_js %}
    {% datatables_bootstrap_js %}
</head>

<table id="my-table">
</table>

<script>
    $('#my-table').dataTable({
        "bPaginate": true,
        "sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
        "bScrollCollapse": true
    });
</script>
