This is going to help me a lot with the app I plan on prototyping soon...right now I am trying to figure out how to call an api and get it into the app and then get displayed on the table...its actually 2 separate APIs so its a challenge because I am not too sure how to get the data together before it gets put on the table...

Hey Phil, could you make a video about using hotwire + devise? I'm having a lot of problems using both together

Hi Phil, I have an issue with DataTables where, if my user selects a checkbox, then uses the search (or changes the page of the table) and makes another checkbox selection. On submit, only the selections from the last table view will be submitted, the original/previous selections will be unchecked and therefore not submitted. Do you have any suggestions for this?

[@PhilSmy]

Sorry, because I'm not using Datatables any more it's kind of out of my brain how to do it. Just make sure that the checkbox column is an array `mycheckbox[]`. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[@shuxun3451]

I know this is last year thing, but could you add tutorial on server side processing too?

[@PhilSmy]

Server Side Processing of...what exactly? Something related to this video or just in general?

[@shuxun3451]

@@PhilSmy server side processing of datatables, i think for making the server do the most hardwork of loading bigger data and maybe continue the pagination? I really appreciate this tutorial tho, it helped me a lot already

[@PhilSmy]

​ @SHuXun I haven't looked at this video in a long time but in my 'real work' I always load the data in from the server paginated.... let me look into that.

I want to develop a SAAS Inventory management software. Which pattern would you recommend. A monolithic rails app or Rails API backend with a JS frontend.

[@MarkMenardTNY]

I hope you did a monolith.

[@kennedymwenda3357]

@@MarkMenardTNY Please shed some light on why you would recommend monolith taking into account that monolith is difficult to containerize (Deploy with Kubernetes)
