Play-DataTables

Play-DataTables is a library for play framework that allows you to easily integrate DataTables in your PlayFramework project.

This library is providing an abstraction for the DataTables requests. It is not recommended to directly utilize this library as it's the base for other libraries that implements some data providers.

List of the current data providers :

• play-ebean-datatables Directly query your database from DataTables
• play-httpquery-datatables Allow you to use an API as a source for DataTables
