<h2>Dynamic Table</h2>
<p>To create a table with client side pagination, inline filtering and other dynamic goodies you first need to include some Javascript files. The Reporta dynamic tables use <%= link_to 'DataTables', 'http://datatables.net/index' %> under the hood so anything you can do with DataTables you can do here as well.</p>
<p>If you don't already have it you will need a copy of <%= link_to 'jQuery', 'http://jquery.com/' %> and <%= link_to 'DataTables', 'http://datatables.net/download/' %> in your app/assets/javascripts directory</p>
<p>In your application.js file make sure you have the following lines in this order:</p>
<blockquote>#= require jquery<br/>
#= require jquery.dataTables<br/>
#= require reporta/dataTables
</blockquote>
<p>Now the dependencies are loaded we can display the report below like this:</p>
<blockquote><%%= filters_for(@report) %><br />
<%%= table_for(@report, class_name: 'table') %><br />
&lt;script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"&gt;<br />
&#160;&#160;$(function() {<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;new Reporta.DynamicTable('.table');<br />
&#160;&#160;});<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
</blockquote>
<p>The only difference between this and the <%= link_to 'Basic Table', '/table' %> is we added the extra Javascript that is called after the page is loaded to make the table dynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> As we are using Bootstrap here on the demo page the styling below is not quite right. It should look more like a deafult DataTable on your page. If you are using Bootstrap checkout the <%= link_to 'Dynamic Table With Bootstrap', '/dynamic_table_with_bootstrap' %> page.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
<div class="filters">
  <%= filters_for(@report) %>
</div>
<div class="no-bootstap">
  <%= table_for(@report, class_name: 'table') %>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(function() {
    new Reporta.DynamicTable('.table');
  });
</script>
