Full OData (open data protocol) support for Datatables

Hello,

Is there any support for datatables to send Odata queries directly to support filtering, paging... like a plugin.
exemple adding the url to the odata provider when building the datatables and the plugin handles the rest (paging, next, previous....)
If not I would like to create one, but as I am new to datatables, could someone point me to the correct path to handle this?

regards

    Not as far as I'm aware - sorry. You'd use fnServerData to override the Ajax call that DataTables makes.

    Let us know if you manage to make any headway with it!

    Give us a shout if anything in the server-side processing documentation isn't clear. It might be worth considering using DataTables 1.10 with its new parameters for server-side processing (there is a backwards compatible option as well, for anyone else reading this and who gets worried!). I'm writing the documentation for that, but drop me an e-mail if you want for bit more info on this at the moment ( allan @ this domain).

    Where can we find the 1.10 release ? or when will it be released?
    If you plan to commit it in these two weeks, I'll wait.

    Hello,

    I found this post regarding odata support: http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/comment/39744

    is this the right way to do? I am thinking of translating the aoData (which is an array of keypair to the actual $filter suported by odata.

    regards

    Yes, I think that's the correct way, in as much as there is a correct way :-)

    Hello,

    before coding this, are there any differences (in the aodata array) in the futur 1.10 version of datatables ? Will my code still be working when the 1.10 will be released?

    Try it and find out: https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables/tree/1_10_wip/media/js . It should, but you are correct, there are a lot of changes in the Ajax part of DataTables. i've tried to do it as backwards compatible as possible, certainly fnServerData will continue to function as before, even if it won't be documented method (the new `ajax` option will be).

    Hi,

    Could you try this: http://vpllan.github.io/jQuery.dataTables.oData/ Integration should be simple and works on my examples.
