Datatable .makeeditable - POST to server after multiple cells edit

logeshwariram

This is my first project in JQuerry , and I'm using legacy Datatable plugin for editable. i.e i use .makeeditable for my usecase which is for commercial use case.

It's been awesome using Datatable. Now i have a use case where i want to inline edit set of cells, and then save them all together with a commit button. i have to POST to back end (C++) only when a user hits a commit button after he edited some x number of cells.

want to know how can we achieve this?

i have wrote code for doing inline editing as below and it works, but not sure how to work on the above use case (commit after multiple cells edit)

                      function populateShowConfig(items)
            {
            //alert('populate show config');
            alert(items);
            try
            {
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $('#tbl-results').dataTable( {
            "bProcessing": true,
            responsive: true,
                    "aaData": items,
                    "aoColumns": [
                            { "mDataProp": "name" },
                            { "mDataProp": "value" },
                            { "mDataProp": "description" }
                    ]
              }).makeEditable({

                    "aoColumns": [ null,

            {
            cssclass: "required",
            indicator: 'Saving...',
            tooltip: 'Click to edit',
            onblur: 'submit',

            },
            null
            ],
            "aoColumnDefs": [
            { "sClass": "readonly", "aTargets": [0] }

            ],
                    sUpdateURL: function(value, settings)
                    {
                    alert(value);
               $.ajax({
             dataType: "json",
                type: "POST",
                    data:{"value": value}
                })

                return value;
                    }
              });
              });
            } ```

It would be great if someone helps me in this. i went through new Datatable editor plugin as well, but since I'm using for commercial (work) purpose, i cannot use it as of now. Please suggest something with .makeeditable or whichever is legal to do with DataTable.

MakeEditable is thirdparty software and not supported here. You could ask in that software's repo, but as far as I am aware it has long since been abandoned.

Editor can be used for commercial work. It needs a license obviously, but it can absolutely be used in a commercial setting.
