django-rest-framework-datatables

Overview

This package provides seamless integration between Django REST framework and Datatables.

Install django-rest-framework-datatables, call your API with ?format=datatables and it will return a JSON structure that is fully compatible with what Datatables expects. It handles searching, filtering, ordering and most usecases you can imagine with Datatables.

The great benefit of django-rest-framework-datatables is that you don't have to create a different API, your API still work exactly the same unless you specify the datatables format on your request.

Full documentation is available on Read the Docs !

Requirements

Python (2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8)
Django (1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0)
Django REST Framework (3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11)

Note: Django 3.0 is only supported with Django REST Framework 3.11 or superior and DRF-datatables version 0.5.1 or superior.

Quickstart

Installation

Just use pip:

$ pip install djangorestframework-datatables

Configuration

To enable Datatables support in your project, add 'rest_framework_datatables' to your INSTALLED_APPS, and modify your REST_FRAMEWORK settings like this:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
        'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
        'rest_framework_datatables.renderers.DatatablesRenderer',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS': (
        'rest_framework_datatables.filters.DatatablesFilterBackend',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework_datatables.pagination.DatatablesPageNumberPagination',
    'PAGE_SIZE': 50,
}

And that's it !

Your API is now fully compatible with Datatables and will provide searching, filtering, ordering and pagination without any modification of your API code !

Always Serialize Specific Fields

Sometimes you may want to expose fields regardless of datatable's url parameters. You can do so by setting the datatables_always_serialize tuple like so:

class ArtistSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    id = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Artist
        fields = (
            'id', 'name',
        )
        datatables_always_serialize = ('id',)
