Datatables.AspNet

Formely known as DataTables.Mvc, this project started over a year ago with small objectives, aiming to provide intermediate and experienced developers a tool to avoid the boring process of handling DataTables parameters.
More than 15 months later, we now undergo a full rewrite with support for Mvc, WebApi and AspNet (core CLR included!).
Also, unit-testing is a priority to avoid breaking your app.

Beta2 has just arrived!

`Beta2` release now ships with updated support for Asp.Net 5 RC1 Update1, along with all the goodies from `Beta1`. This is the second beta release for `DataTables.AspNet`. A full migration path (for all, including MVC 5 and WebApi) will be released as soon as Asp.Net 5 becomes stable enough to stop changing namespaces (before that, it would require multiple migration paths and paths from previous paths and so on).

NuGet packages

- [DataTables.AspNet.Mvc5](https://www.nuget.org/packages/DataTables.AspNet.Mvc5/), with support for Mvc5, registration and automatic binders - [DataTables.AspNet.WebApi2](https://www.nuget.org/packages/DataTables.AspNet.WebApi2/) with support for WebApi2, registration and automatic binders - [DataTables.AspNet.AspNet5](https://www.nuget.org/packages/DataTables.AspNet.AspNet5/) with support for AspNet5, dependency injection and automatic binders

You can extend DataTables.AspNet easier through DataTables.AspNet.Core, which contains core elements including standard interfaces and enums.

Samples

Samples are provided on the `samples` folder.
You can also check our wiki (TODO - Wiki) for guidance.

Migration path

Check a full migration path from older versions of `DataTables.AspNet` up to the most recent one.
`Beta1` also delivered some breaking changes so if you're running alpha code, check the second migration path bellow:

Migration path from legacy DataTables.Mvc (TODO - Wiki)
Migration path from alpha releases (TODO - Wiki)

Eager for some new code?

If you are, check out [dev](https://github.com/ALMMa/datatables.aspnet/tree/dev) branch. It has the latest code for DataTables.AspNet, including samples and more.

Stable code?

We're still on beta so there is no stable code/release on `master` branch yet.
As soon as we're stable, `master` branch will be populated, tagging will get in place and and Nuget packages will drop the `-Pre` argument.

Still legacy?

If you can, drop it!
Beta1 is just as stable as legacy DataTables.Mvc and if you find any bug you can easily submit and get it fixed ASAP.

Known issues with Beta2

I has been a nightmare to make tests run properly. Since beta2 I simply can't make them run correctly so I'll rely on updated sample projects to make sure everything works fine and will rewrite tests and try to make them run again.
