New gem for rails 3.1 and datatables

Gryphon

Hello!

I just released gem which maps datatables query to meta_search format. It allows to clearly use one controller action for API, HTML and datatables output.

Please check it here:

Hope it would be helpful. Any help appreciated.

Very nice! Thanks for posting the link :-). I've just added it to the DataTables news feed. I'm sure this will prove to be very much appreciated by the community!

Hi Gryphon! Nice work! Could you please give a somewhat more elaborate explanation of how to use it?
I just started Rails 3.1 and scaffolded a couple of models. Now I have to add the code
into some controller/view files in rails but don't know how to exactly....
Is the javascript piece just going into the index.html.erb file? And should I create a search view?
Isnt there any html needed in there? Hope you can explain some details!

Thanks!
