Allow again overriding filter_records, sort_records... #228
Description
Currently, when overriding for example filter_records in a custom datatable, it's ignored due to 'load_orm_extension' being called on initialize, which overrides the custom method by the one provided in the orm.
def initialize(view, options = {})
@view = view
@options = options
load_orm_extension
end
According to the rails generator datatable template, such use should be possible:
# ==== These methods represent the basic operations to perform on records
# and feel free to override them
# def filter_records(records)
# end
# def sort_records(records)
# end
# def paginate_records(records)
# endAs a workaround I'm currently overriding retrieve_records in my custom datatable
def retrieve_records
records = fetch_records
records = filter_records_with_my_awesome_custom_logic(records)
records = sort_records(records) if datatable.orderable?
records = paginate_records(records) if datatable.paginate?
records
end
