Tool Specs & Status​

As mentioned above, the Dynamic DataTables tool aims to enable a powerful data table interface on top of any Flask codebase with a minimum effort. Here are the steps:

  • Define a new model in the project (an old one can be also used)
  • Execute the database migration to create/update the associated tables
  • Update the configuration to enable the Dynamic Data Table service over the model
  • Start the app
  • Access the Dynamic DataTable provided on op of the model

For instance, if the new model managed by the Dynamic Data Table Service is called books, the associate API is exposed at /datatb/books/
