Closes #50
Closes #121
Closes #172
Closes #178
Closes #207
Closes #208
Closes #231

TODO

• Is opt.css still useful? Do we need both the css and the style argument?
• Can we make the bundle configurable / support different bundles for different tables?
• What is the proper way to call npm during the package build?
• Test the offline/connected version in VS Code (=> Well I can't get the connected mode to work in VS Code Tables are not displayed in VS Code when using connected=True in itables==2.0.0rc0 #237)
• Fix ITables in Quarto (ITables 2.0.0rc0 fails to work in Quarto #238 )
• Test ITables in Google Colab
• Test the Binder link (dt_bundle is missing ATM)

@AllanJard, this works in a web browser and in Jupyter, but unfortunately not in VS Code (which complains that DataTable below is not defined). Would you have .mjs extensions for the bundles ? Or do you think you could export DataTable explicitly in the .js file? Thanks!

I am moving this conversation to #237

[AllanJard]

There are no plans for a single combined file with ESM exports at this time. But each individual module does have an ESM file - e.g.:

• https://cdn.datatables.net/2.0.1/js/dataTables.min.mjs
• https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/3.0.0/js/dataTables.buttons.min.mjs
• https://cdn.datatables.net/buttons/3.0.0/js/buttons.html5.min.mjs

So just the same as the UMD loader file names with with .mjs rather than .js.

Thanks @AllanJard , I'll try that, then!

An exciting overview of what we can do with the v2 / the datatable extensions is available in the future documentations, on binder: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/mwouts/itables/latest_dt_use_imports?urlpath=lab/tree/docs/extensions.md. I love the SearchBuilder and SearchPanes extensions!

Unfortunately there is one major issue upholding this release: #238 . Now that we have a rc (thanks @mahendrapaipuri) I will reach out to the Quarto maintainers.

Re #237 I am not yet sure what to do: I think import maps are not an option, reverting to datatables==1.12.1 is not an option neither, and I don't have the know-how to host esm bundles 😉
