dtquick is a lightweight and fast JavaScript library that simplifies the process of displaying data from databases. With minimal code, dtquick generates queries automatically and saves time. Check out the Live Demo to see it in action!
There are several ways to use dtquick:
Include the following script tag in the <head>
section of your HTML document to use dtquick via CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mohiwalla/dtquick@mohiwalla/index.js" defer></script>
If you have Git installed on your machine, you can clone the repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mohiwalla/dtquick.git
If you have Node.js installed on your machine, you can use the following command to install the module:
npm install dtquick
You can also download the index.js file and include it in your HTML document using the following script tag:
<script src="path/to/index.js" defer></script>
Alternatively, you can copy the code from index.js and paste it into a <script>
tag in your HTML document.
To initialize dtquick, add a <div>
element with id="dtquick"
.
The following attributes must be added to the <div>
element:
Specifies the name of the table to be used in the MySQL query to fetch data from the database.
Specifies the names of the columns to be displayed in the table as a comma-separated list. Each column name should contain two parts: one for the client-side to display in the table's <th>
and another for the server-side (which is the name used to create the column in the database). For example:
cols="S. no. = S, name = Name, E-mail = Email, Pass = Password"
Specifies the name of the server-side file to which dtquick will send an AJAX request for data.
<div id="dtquick" db-table="dtquick" file-name="fetch.php" cols="User_name = name,......"></div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mohiwalla/dtquick@mohiwalla/index.js" defer></script>
The server-side file should fetch the query, the total number of rows available in the table, and the total found results as per the query. You can use any server-side language with it as per your comfort. Code samples for server-side scripts have been provided for reference in the following languages:
Before using dtquick in production, please note that this library sends a query from the client-side to the server-side, which is not traditional. Therefore, anyone from the client-side can modify the query to fetch data from your table, which is a potential risk to your data. If you want to prioritize safety, consider using DataTables as it creates queries at the server end and reduces the risk. The purpose of creating queries at the client-end was to keep the structure of both client and server-side files simple and easy to use for newbies. If you find any bugs in the code or any possible improvements without compromising the simplicity of usage, you can send a pull request or modified code to [email protected]. The existing code will be replaced by the code provided by you as soon as the examination is finished, and your name will be in the list of Contributors as well. So, don't hesitate to give it a try. Lastly, if you appreciate the effort, consider giving a star to this repository.
