[Koha-devel] REST API + DataTables

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hi all,

 

Do we have any examples of using the Mojolicious REST API to provide data
for DataTables in Koha?

 

I think the answer is probably no since the DataTables calls aren't really
RESTful. 

 

Yet, we have this growing API, and we want to use that API to make more
efficient user interfaces. Does anyone know how we might do that with
DataTables?

 

On a different project, I ended up writing a specific controller just for
handling DataTables AJAX calls since they're very particular. But even
that's easier said than done in a generic way because of business rules and
authorization. 

 

Thoughts?
