Editor example Internationalisation

This example shows the datetime option being used with translated text - in this case French. All of the text displayed by the datetime option can be modified (and therefore translated) through the i18n.datetime object.

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:

var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples
 
$(document).ready(function() {
    editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
        ajax: '../../controllers/dates.php',
        table: '#example',
        fields: [ {
                label: 'First name:',
                name:  'first_name'
            }, {
                label: 'Last name:',
                name:  'last_name'
            }, {
                label: 'Updated date:',
                name:  'updated_date',
                type:  'datetime',
                def:   function () { return new Date(); }
            }, {
                label: 'Registered date:',
                name:  'registered_date',
                type:  'datetime',
                def:   function () { return new Date(); }
            }
        ],
        i18n: {
            datetime: {
                previous: 'Précédent',
                next:     'Premier',
                months:   [ 'Janvier', 'Février', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Août', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Décembre' ],
                weekdays: [ 'Dim', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mer', 'Jeu', 'Ven', 'Sam' ]
            }
        }
    } );
 
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        ajax: '../../controllers/dates.php',
        columns: [
            { data: 'first_name' },
            { data: 'last_name' },
            { data: 'updated_date' },
            { data: 'registered_date' }
        ],
        select: true,
        buttons: [
            { extend: 'create', editor: editor },
            { extend: 'edit',   editor: editor },
            { extend: 'remove', editor: editor }
        ]
    } );
} );

In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:

The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:

				<table class="display" id="example" width="100%">
					<thead>
						<tr>
							<th>First name</th>
							<th>Last name</th>
							<th>Updated date</th>
							<th>Registered date</th>
						</tr>
					</thead>
				</table>

Editor submits and retrieves information by Ajax requests. The two blocks below show the data that Editor submits and receives, to and from the server. This is updated live as you interact with Editor so you can see what is submitted.

Submitted data:

The following shows the data that has been submitted to the server when a request is made to add, edit or delete data from the table.

// No data yet submitted

Server response:

The following shows the data that has been returned by the server in response to the data submitted on the left and is then acted upon.

// No data yet received
