Description Agustín Moyano 2020-02-01 04:12:21 UTC
Bug 24502 introduced filtering by embedded columns. It would be great if datatables wrapper for the API in bug 20212 could use this feature.

Bug 24561: Datatables api wrapper also filter and order embedded columns

This patch adds the ability to filter and order by embedded columns.

To use it you must in JS:

$('datatable_selector').api({datatables_options})

where datatables_options are all datatables options plus:

1. embed: [list of embeddable tables]
   This option adds x-koha-embed header to request.

2. header_filter: true|false
   This option if true sets x-koha-query header with stringyfied json of filters

Oderable and searchable columns must define data option as string, otherwise filter and order won't be possible.
If you must custom the output, use the render function.

For example:

* Don't

> $('.table_selector').api({
>   columns: [
>     {
>       data: function(row, type, val, meta) {
>         return '<a href="'+row.link+'">'+row.holds.patron.firstname+'</a>';
>       },
>       orderable: true,
>       searchable: true
>     }
>   ]
> });

* Do

> $('.table_selector').api({
>   columns: [
>     {
>       data: 'holds.patron.firstname',
>       render: function(row, type, val, meta) {
>         return '<a href="'+row.link+'">'+row.holds.patron.firstname+'</a>';
>       },
>       orderable: true,
>       searchable: true
>     }
>   ]
> });

To test you must implement and test bug 20936, where it will be used.

Comment 5 Agustín Moyano 2020-02-19 14:39:43 UTC
I don't know why, but when applying this bug with git bz, bug 20212 doesn't appear as an option. Maybe it's because is in state "ASSIGNED"

To succesfully apply this bug, first apply 20212 manually.

It is inconsistent with current behavior - we do filter on any port of string

+jQuery.fn.dataTable.ext.errMode = function(settings, note, message) {
+    console.warn(message);
+};


Has this been added on purpose or for debug?
This is a non advertised change, switched from alert to console.log. I don't think we want that in production (better to display an alert to the end user to help them to report the relevant issue).
