Bootstrap Server Side Pagination - alternative to data tables

Background

Most of the Web developers are familiar with the Datatable.Net for pagination. DataTables can integrate seamlessly with Bootstrap using Bootstrap's table styling options to present a consistent interface with your Bootstrap driven site / app. The main disadvantage with Data table.net is it is applying the pagination at the client side and for the large data set it can take minutes to load the data. Like every other designer I also faced the problem with Data table.net. So what is the best option to replace the client side paging and searching. So I forced to create a custom module to do the pagination and searching. The below sample don’t support the sorting, but got an option to extend the functionality. Please check my Next Post for sorting functionality
The technologies used include, MVC 4.0, HTML5, Bootstarp.css, Knockout. js, Ajax, Web Api 2.0, Linq to SQL and C#.

Knockout.js Model’s

Filter Model

var filter = function () {
var self = this;
self.searchText = ko.observable('');
self.totalCount = ko.observable('0');
self.pageSize = ko.observable('10');
self.currentPageIndex = ko.observable('1');
self.sortBy = ko.observable('');
self.sortAscending = ko.observable(false);
self.countLabel = ko.observable("");
self.enablePrev = ko.observable(true);
self.enableNext = ko.observable(true);
self.totalPageCount = ko.observable('1');
self.individualPageList = ko.observableArray([]);
return self;
}
Adarsh Log Model
var adarshLog = function () {
var self = this;
self.Id = ko.observable('');
self.Name = ko.observable('');
return self;
}
Adarsh Log List Model (Binding both the filter and Adarsh log list)
var adarshLogListModel = function () {
var self = this;
self.adarshLogList = ko.observableArray([]);
self.filterModel = new ko.observable(new filter);

SRT THE REAL HERO

Lets Start with something quite interesting. So I am selecting SRT ( As an Indian too much dedicated towards cricket). For me cricket means Sachin . When ever Sachin is in crease i never looks the score. Like to see Sachin plays at least 35 to 40 overs. Usually by that time he will reach his century. My passion is to study the statistics of Sachin. You know Sachin looks almost 72 games to hit his first century. After 17 years now ( more than 350 matches he played after) he had 46 ODI century, what an amazing batsman. Till 1992 -1993 if you looks his ODI average its in late twenties. But now its after that 350 matches now more than 45 . I know one thing Sachin will play till his wish. I like to see him score more than 100 odi century( Sachin personally enjoys this). Its not a barrier , but a guy got that much passion towards game can achieve it. I always ideals Sachin. While i am working and have difficult situations, I always think how Sachin played 137 against Australia ( dessert ...

Emergence and Creative Confidence

I started my career on 1st of September 2008 as a software developer at Manchester. Some people in my personal life might know about it. I like to say, that day as the day I found an aura in my life, transformation from the worst possible situation into a new beginning in a matter of 1 hour. The week before, I got an interview confirmation from that company and I was not at all excited about it because I know it is going to be the final interview in UK if I am unsuccessful. I was in that mental state because I was not successful for past 12 such occurrences and not expecting anything different. This shows I was not a brilliant person but had a strong passion and hardworking nature to achieve success. I passed my masters on Sep 2007 and after that, I decided to work only in software development, and lots of people including my parents told this as a worst possible decision. To be precise, they have no issues in choosing software development, but on my adamant decision only software de...
