Documentation and Live Demos

Read the module documentation at http://django-datatable-view.readthedocs.org.

A public live demo server is in the works. For version 0.8, we will continue to keep the live demo site alive at http://django-datatable-view.appspot.com/ Please note that 0.8 does not reflect the current state or direction of the project.

You can run the live demos locally from the included example project, using a few common setup steps.

$ git clone https://github.com/pivotal-energy-solutions/django-datatable-view.git
$ cd django-datatable-view
$ mkvirtualenv datatableview
(datatableview)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
(datatableview)$ datatableview/tests/example_project/manage.py migrate
(datatableview)$ datatableview/tests/example_project/manage.py loaddata initial_data
(datatableview)$ datatableview/tests/example_project/manage.py runserver

The example project is configured to use a local sqlite3 database, and relies on the django-datatable-view app itself, which is made available in the python path by simply running the project from the distributed directory root.
