DataTables
for MongoDB

Connect your MongoDB collection to a DataTables front-end with a few lines of Python. Sorting, pagination, and search just work — even on millions of rows.

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from pymongo import MongoClient
from mongo_datatables import DataTables, DataField

app = Flask(__name__)
db = MongoClient()["mydb"]

data_fields = [
    DataField('title', 'string'),
    DataField('artist', 'string'),
    DataField('year', 'number'),
]

@app.route('/api/data', methods=['POST'])
def data():
    args = request.get_json()
    return jsonify(
        DataTables(db, 'albums', args, data_fields).get_rows()
    )
