Inline editing of a datatable without using Editor

reddogreddog Posts: 1Questions: 1Answers: 0

While I appreciate that datatables is free and Editor is a way for the devs to get some money, I can't justify buying a licence for my usecase which is allowing me to maintain a couple of tiny (sub 20 row) config tables for my application and which will require maybe 2 edits a year max.

I had been using a very old version of jQuery and datatables editable but have just updated to the latest versions for obvious reasons. Is there anything out there that already does CRUD and is free?

    Not sure if there is anything free. This example gives some tips on how this can be done. Combine that with this example of buttons in the rows to allow for inline editing and submitting the row. Add an Ajax request to send the data to the server, have the server respond with the updated data and in the Ajax success function update the table with the data from the DB.

    Wouldn't be too bad to develop for something simple.
