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"

I was honestly surprised by how good the salads at Whataburger are! You’d expect a burger joint to treat salads as an afterthought, but they actually put effort into freshness and flavor. The grilled chicken Cobb salad is a solid go-to for me—crispy veggies, decent portion of protein, and just enough dressing without drowning everything. It’s a great option when you want to stick to something lighter but still crave that Whataburger taste.



If you're hungry for something more substantial, the Double Meat Whataburger is the perfect choice, packing in twice the beef for a satisfying meal. And if you're a fan of cheese, you can go for the classic Whataburger with Cheese or indulge in the even bolder Double Meat Whataburger with Cheese for an extra flavorful bite.Visit



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.



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>
