Rails Helpers for Vendors
Hello and thank you for this thoughtful template integration into rails 7. I've been through all files and rails help documentation but I do not understand how to use the rails helper in controller or view for datatables?
JS and CSS are loading correctly for datatables.
Examples from documentation:
helpers.addVendor('datatables')
Does this go in the controller?
addVendor(vendor)
Does this go at the bottom of the view template?
I am trying to use the following code in my view template
table id="kt_datatable_dom_positioning"

Hi! The `helpers.addVendor('datatables')` line is typically used in asset management setup (like a custom helper to manage JS/CSS includes), not in the controller or view directly.
If your JS and CSS for DataTables are NJMCDirect loading correctly, you just need to initialize the table in your JS file like:
```js
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#kt_datatable_dom_positioning').DataTable();
});
```
No need to use `addVendor` in the view or controller.
Whether you're a long-time fan or someone looking to try Whataburger for the first time, knowing the menu prices can help you plan your next meal like in whataburger menu photos. Whataburger is known for its generous portions, high-quality beef, and customizable options, making it stand out from other fast-food chains.
Glad you solved it. Feel free to let us know if you have any issues.
Thanks
Hi,
In the Rails controller, you can call any helper functions from /app/helpers/* files using helpers object. Eg. helpers.addVendor('datatables')
The addVendor function is defined in /app/helpers/application_helper.rb
The vendors' entries will be printed in the /app/views/layout/master.html.erb. JS files at the bottom and CSS in the head.
getVendors("css")
getVendors("js")Thanks
Thanks for the response. I was able to get it working after adding the DataTable script at the bottom of the master.html.erb
<script>
$("#kt_datatable_dom_positioning").DataTable({
"language": {
"lengthMenu": "Show _MENU_",
},
"dom":
"<"row"" +
"<"col-sm-6 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-start"l>" +
"<"col-sm-6 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-end"f>" +
">" +
"<"table-responsive"tr>" +
"<"row"" +
"<"col-sm-12 col-md-5 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-start"i>" +
"<"col-sm-12 col-md-7 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end"p>" +
">"
})
</script>
