Long loading time

[jarrettyew]

I have about 1000 records to load in a go. When I was loading it, it was taking around 4-5 seconds to load each time. Is there any way to put it into ajax on loading? The setting in datatable seems to prompt errors when I add them.

You need to enable server-side pagination on your app. Take a look at gem ajax-datatables-rails simple solution.

The server side rendering works well, but there's 2 issues:

• Bootstrap 4 styling is not available as part of the preset (which your gem has them configured nicely)
• It's using the datatable gem that has not been updated for 2 years, which it's still using old syntax like fnDestroy() instead of destroy() to clear cached datatable in reloading turbolinks.

Since the solution given could not be integrated with your current gem, is there any suggestion you could provide in the meantime?

@yewness, you still can use this gem along with gem 'ajax-datables-rails'. just replace the old one.

@mkhairi Yeap, I've got it working. Just need to follow through the steps from ajax datatable then the data will appear in the table.

gem 'jquery-datatables' gem 'ajax-datatables-rails'

Perhaps, it would be great if a documentation can be added for this one. Thanks a lot!
