Datatables.aspnet

<h1>Datatables.AspNet</h1> Formely known as <strong>DataTables.Mvc</strong>, this project startedwith small objectives around 2014, aiming to provide intermediate and experienced developers a tool to avoid the boring process of handling DataTables parameters.<br /> More than a year later and after a full rewrite we are now proud to support Asp.net MVC, WebApi and Asp.Net Core (full .NET Core support).<br /> Unit-testing is a priority to avoid breaking <i>your</i> app and every stable release should provide better and wider test cases. <h3>Stable 2.0.0 version is here!</h3> `2.0.0` stable release now ships with full support for DotNet Core 1.0.0, along with extensions, tests and all the fun we can get. This is the first stable version for `DataTables.AspNet`. We dropped the full migration path because we made everything clean and simple and included some basic usage samples to guide you. <h3>Standard NuGet packages</h3>

• DataTables.AspNet.Mvc5 with support for Mvc5, registration and automatic binders

• DataTables.AspNet.WebApi2 with support for WebApi2, registration and automatic binders

• DataTables.AspNet.AspNetCore with support for AspNetCore, dependency injection and automatic binders

<h3>IMPORTANT: Deprecated (unlisted) package</h3>

• DataTables.AspNet.AspNet5

This package has been replaced by DataTables.AspNet.AspNetCore due to Microsoft renaming of the new platform.

<h3>Write your own code!</h3>

DataTables.AspNet ships with a core project called DataTables.AspNet.Core, which contains basic interfaces and core elements just the way DataTables needs.<br /> Feel free to use it and implement your own classes, methods and extend DataTables.AspNet in <i>your</i> very own way.

<h3>Helpers and extensions</h3>

• DataTables.AspNet.Extensions.AnsiSql enables basic translation from sort and filter into ANSI-SQL WHERE and ORDER BY

• DataTables.AspNet.Extensions.DapperExtensions transforms filters into IPredicate and sort into ISort

Those are still alpha1 releases but with nuget packages available. There are no tests yet, they are in a very initial phase and might change a bit in the near future. After they become stable I'll accept pull requests for other extensions (eg: NHibernate, EntityFramework, etc). For now, keep in mind that these two are supposed to set the basic extension standard for DataTables.AspNet.Extensions.

<h3>Samples</h3> Samples are provided on the `samples` folder.<br /> There is no wiki yet. I will start writing a very gorgeous wiki, just don't know when. Tons of work and no time. Sorry. I am open to contributors :) <h3>Eager for some new code?</h3> If you are, check out [dev](https://github.com/Avaruz/datatables.aspnet/tree/dev) branch. It has the latest code for DataTables.AspNet, including samples and more.<br /> For every release (even unstable ones) there should be a nuget package. <h3>Stable code?</h3> For production code, I do recommend the `master` branch. It holds the stable version. Every stable version has a stable Nuget release.<br /> <h3>Still legacy?</h3> Drop it!<br /> 2.0.0 (stable) is faster, better coded and fully tested. DataTables.Mvc is now completely discontinued. <h3>Known issues</h3> - There are some issues while trying to run all tests simultaneously. I'll try to fix that by including some test ordering. - Extension methods do not have tests yet and should not be used on production code.
