Please upgrade to comply Meteor v0.8.3

[menway]

Hi Austin, thanks for your hard work on jquery-datatables package. It's very awesome :-) Since Meteor version 0.8.3 has just released, could you please help upgrade jquery-datatables for the new version? Thank you.

Following is my current temporary workaround F.Y.I. For maintantance considerations, I wrote these codes in an additional file, rather than modifying the existing codes in the package.

# patch for jquery-datatables v1.0.5 for Meteor v0.8.3

DataTableComponent.prototype.oldRendered = DataTableComponent.prototype.rendered

DataTableComponent.prototype.rendered = ->
    that = this
    setTimeout ->
        that.oldRendered()
    , 0
    return

DataTableComponent.prototype.setQuery = (query) ->
    if @subscription
        @prepareQuery() unless @query
        #unless @query() is query
        if true
            @query query
            @rendered()

Template.DataTable.created = ->
    @.__component__ = @.__view__
    dataTableInstance = new DataTableComponent @

@menway thanks for taking the time to help convert to v0.8.3

However I am waiting on the MDG team finalizing their component structure and animation hooks prior to porting jquery-datatables, due to the the fact that I know it will be a breaking change, and I want to limit the number of times I refactor the existing apis.

Have you experienced any other issues while using this package?

Am I to understand that meteor-jquery-datatables does not yet support meteor v0.8.3? If so, which version of meteor should I be using?

[adamwong246]

To answer my own question, I found can only run meteor-jquery-datatables on meteor v.0.8.2.

With menways patch code it "works" on v0.8.3, only had issues when I didn't use a subscription as dataset

even by applying @menway 's patch, i'm getting :
Exception from Deps recompute function: Error: Can't call non-function: undefined
i see that this recompute error also is reported in #40, witch i think is not related to my case
my basic configuration object looks like this:

// as a template helper
  collectionDT: function () {
    return {
      id: "collection-data-table",
      columns: [{
        title: "Title",
        data: "title"
      },{
        title: "Description",
        data: "description"
      }],
      subscription: "all_docs"
    }
  }

// server side
  var dataTable = new DataTableComponent({
    subscription: "all_docs",
    collection: SomeCollection,
  })
  dataTable.publish()

Hi guys,
any idea where the error belongs? Meteor 0.9 rc9 is out and I would love to use this package. But due to coffee script I am not the right guy for tracing the error.

Hey guys show some love for 0.9 version :D

Hi all,
I'm the senior dev at Luma Pictures, the company maintaining this project. @austinrivas will be off the project for the foreseeable future, but we are hoping to have a new dev assigned to this in the next month or so. In the meantime, if someone wants to fork this and carry the baton, that would be awesome. Don't worry, the project is not dead, it's just stalled for the moment.

On a slightly related note, are there others like @dohomi who feel that CoffeeScript is generally a turn-off for contributing to or troubleshooting this project?

[pajooh]

@chadrik i feel like @dohomi about coffeescript!

[ouuyeah]

I feel like you about coffee guys

[stbaer]

-1 for coffeescript

[rwillmer]

-1 for coffeescript as the only documented option; both javascript and coffeescript examples would be ideal, but if only one, please use javascript; jquery-datatables is hard enough to configure without having to learn a new language to do it.

[dohomi]

everybody who likes to use datatables try out https://github.com/ephemer/meteor-reactive-datatables it works quite neat on current meteor version.

[menway]

@dohomi +1 for ephemer:reactive-datatables
