Buttons

In every database application we want to have the possibility do do someting with our data. 

The buttons setting should be enable you to create in a standardized way.

Form:

If an button click should do an create or edit action, we have to open a form. Here you can define which one. This enable you to use different forms for different actions if the data is mapped from the table to both forms.

Types:

• Default
  Display the Button above the table like create buttons or custom actions
• Form
  Display the button in the row, so the button relates to the data row, like edit or delete an entry.
  This also works for subtables
• FormDataTable Specific

Actions:

Payload: (DEPRECATED)

In some special cases we want to provide the action more information. Here you could add data in json style like follows:

"identifier":"pdf_a", "filename":"export.pdf"

Example: Option: onclick with code

jQuery('###datatable_identifier##').DataTable().ajax.reload();

Sort Order:

This defines the order of the displayed buttons

Options:

• add_entity_to_update : true –  Updates Datatables with Entity after Submit

• add_parent_entity_to_update : true – Updates Datatables with Parent Entity after Submit

• class_column
  This allows referring to a select field of the query, for example, if the query result has a column named calculated_css_class, then this option can be used to assign the value of that class.
  key: class_column, value: calculated_css_class

• parent_form_identifier

• tooltip_column

  • key: tooltip_column, value: column_name
  • The same principle as class_column is applied here.

• id_column

  • Default ID Column is the row id. If you what to use another id column you can set it:
    • key: id_column, value: column_name

• create_as_entity
