will look into it, now that l5 is out. I will also look to update to 1.10 and rewrite some parts

[TheTechnoMan]

Awesome. Do you have any eta?

PS: Vielen Dank, Nils! :+1:

No ETA at the moment, sorry. I need to test and lay out some foundations before i can start. I want to reduce the work i need to put into both engines, best would be to just maintain one general engine but i need to think about how to achieve that first.

I also want to drop the frontend part as to many people think the plugin should also handle the client side of datatable and get confused.

Another aspect is that i want to add some kind of easy to extend interface so we can stuff something like live editor or custom search into it.

[TheTechnoMan]

I see, makes sense. What do you mean with "drop the frontend part"? You mean the feature that it automatically generates the code (renders it into the actual table) and you just have to output it at the desired position? If so, in my opinion you should not remove that as it takes away the pain with manually dealing with the datatables, that is something that i personally really was happy about.

Thanks!

[Chumper]

Yeah, i mean the table() part, a lot of issues are about how to set the options in the right way and generaly on how to style the html table to their needs. That means, i also need to know about most frontend parts of datatable to help with the issues.

I worked with yii before and i want to have something like the CGridView (http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CGridView) for laravel with datatable as frontend engine.

Maybe it is a good idea to copy the concept of dataProviders to achieve a lot of flexibility.

[TheTechnoMan]

I understand your point. I would simply mention that you can't provide support for the front end part as there are too many specific parameters to know about. Let's be honest, time is money. If someone needs additional help, they might contact you for some paid freelance work.

For me personally the table() part worked really well (with Bootstrap) and gave me all features that I needed, which basically only was the fact that I need to add some buttons to the table depending on the fetch database data (basically a edit button for the corresponding user).

The dataProviders concept looks pretty straightforward though.

I do personally just hope that you come up with a support for L5 soon as I really need it to continue the work on the current project (otherwise I could do all manually and switch it out later, but thats not really the way to go).

Thank you very much, Nils! :)

@TheTechnoMan this is OSS, it will be done when its done. And although you and I and everyone else that +1'd this wants it, we shouldn't bother him, or ask for eta's.

[TheTechnoMan]

@WiR3D-kNiGhT I don't see anything wrong with asking if there are some news as long as you don't do it every day ;)

For those who are looking for step by step guidance in using Chumper Datatable with Larave5 , http://jayeshmagare.blogspot.com/2015/02/using-chumper-datatable-in-laravel-5.html

[TheTechnoMan]

@Chumper Awesome, looking forward to it. :)

@jayeshmagare Thanks, but I think it is better to just wait instead of modifying core code which will get overwritten with the next update and therefore break things for anyone who modified it.

[threesquared]

There is also a working L5 fork here - https://github.com/bart/Datatable

any estimation?

[TheTechnoMan]

Looking really forward to it as well. Hows it going?

Thanks!

[Chumper]

Still working on it. I would suggest to use any method provided in the comments. If there are working versions I can merge them in so you have something working atm.

[carlituxman]

the solution by @jayeshmagare works with some changes:

step 4: 'table_view' => 'Chumper::template', 'script_view' => 'Chumper::javascript',

and at template.blade.php at last lines:

@if (!$noScript) @include(Config::get('chumper_datatable.table.script_view'), array('id' => $id, 'options' => $options, 'callbacks' => $callbacks)) @endif

and to render view use {!! ..... !!}}

[TheTechnoMan]

Not to bug you, but do you have any update? :(

[kylescousin]

Hey Chumper,

Any updates? Please make this compatible with L5. Lots of people relying on your skills! :)

Hello everyone!

There is a branch (develop) that has support for Laravel 5. For the people that want Laravel 5 support, please try using the develop branch, testing it and if any issues come up across the way, open a new separate bug for that problem.

This "+1" business does not help anyone, we all know that this is a feature that is in strong demand.

Please stop. Thanks :)

If you would like to know when this feature is production ready, sign into GitHub and subscribe to notifications on this issue in the tracker. You will get notified when the situation changes. :+1:
