This module provide two utility functions to build a part of the SQL query, depending on DataTables parameters. One function build the 'ORDER BY' part, and the other the 'HAVING' part.
my $orderby = dt_build_orderby($dt_param); This function takes a reference to a hash containing DataTables parameters and build the corresponding 'ORDER BY' clause. This hash must contains the following keys: iSortCol_N, where N is a number from 0 to the number of columns to sort on minus 1 sSortDir_N is the sorting order ('asc' or 'desc) for the corresponding column mDataProp_N is a mapping between the column index, and the name of a SQL field
my ($having, $having_params) = dt_build_having($dt_params) This function takes a reference to a hash containing DataTables parameters and build the corresponding 'HAVING' clause. This hash must contains the following keys: sSearch is the text entered in the global filter iColumns is the number of columns bSearchable_N is a boolean value that is true if the column is searchable mDataProp_N is a mapping between the column index, and the name of a SQL field sSearch_N is the text entered in individual filter for column N
my %dtparam = = dt_get_params( $input ) This function takes a reference to a new CGI object. It prepares a hash containing Datatable parameters.
my ( $query, $params )= dt_build_query_simple( $value, $field ) This function takes a value and a field (table.field). It returns (undef, []) if not $value. Else, returns a SQL where string and an arrayref containing parameters for the execute method of the statement.
my ( $query, $params )= dt_build_query_dates( $datefrom, $dateto, $field) This function takes a datefrom, dateto and a field (table.field). It returns (undef, []) if not $value. Else, returns a SQL where string and an arrayref containing parameters for the execute method of the statement.
my ( $query, $filter ) = dt_build_query( $type, @params ) This function takes a value and a list of parameters. It calls dt_build_query_dates or dt_build_query_simple function of $type. $type can contain 'simple' or 'range_dates'. if $type is not matched it returns undef
