  Hi,

  Thanks for your message. We don't have a Django server-side library I'm afraid, but I can certainly help with the manipulation of the data that the client-side is sending to the server into something that your framework is expecting.

  To do that, we use the preSubmit event - e.g.:

    editor.on('preSubmit', function (d) {
      var keys = Object.keys(d.data);
      $.extend(d, d.data[keys[0]]); // Flatten field object
      d.id = keys[0];
      delete d.data;
    });
  

  What that will do is to take the first row being edited (to make sure to limit the UI to single row editing - use the editSingle button type) and put its parameters and values at the top level of the object. Just make sure you don't use the field name action (as Editor uses that to tell the server-side what it is doing; create, edit or remove).

  Equally, for the returned JSON, you may need to use postSubmit to modify the data being returned from the server into something more like what Editor is expecting.

  I haven't looked at these in detail but here is a Django Datatables Editor framework you can try. This link contains a tutorial of creating your own.
