Has anyone re-created Metafizzy's Packery in swiftui? I see various Masonry solutions, but not specifically Packery.
Does anyone know of a package that's similar to this component? (choosing/uploading images on ebay, specifically after the re-order functionality!)

CSV to a HTML table

HTML Table from multiple QuerySets
2 projects | /r/django | 24 Jun 2022

I've done quite a bit of scouting for a solution, and it looks like many people gravitate around django-tables2, https://www.datatables.net/, https://bootstrap-table.com/, and a few others. The latter two are JS/HTML frameworks that can accept either Django templated HTML (of a table) or JSON, and they seem to prefer JSON to give you the most access to features.
Is there any simple way to add pagination if my app doesn't use a database?
1 project | /r/flask | 4 Jun 2022

If you’re only trying to not show 2000 results to the user at once, you could send them all and then use front-end techniques to paginate (a JS table library, for instance).
wpDataTables - does anyone know how how the search works in this plugin and why it handles search query different than WordPress's default search query—why it doesn't show search results that includes ANY one of the 2 words in search query?
1 project | /r/Wordpress | 4 Jun 2022

Don't know the plugin, but it looks like just a WordPress wrapper around the https://www.datatables.net/ datatable plugin. That plugin is very powerful and popular, there are many plugins for it too, pretty sure you can easily find a front-end developer to make the search more powerful.

Disable sorting for a particular column in jQuery DataTables

I am using the jQuery DataTables plugin to sort the table fields. My question is: how do I disable sorting for a particular column? I have tried with the following code, but it did not work:

Great, currently I am using the Datatables from https://www.datatables.net, have a hard time with column fiiltering plugin (yadcf). Keep on!
Using each_slice in Rails
1 project | dev.to | 23 Oct 2021

The design called for a grid of 12 cards that could be paginated, searched, and selected. For instance if we have 32 cards, on multiple pages, we needed to be able to select all the cards, and on submit, persist 32 cards to the need controller action. After reviewing the specification, we decided to use DataTables, which we have already used throughout this Rails 5 application.
