I need to create simple data presentation portlet for new version of liferay, but can't really find the proper way.
I created backend with service builder and added custom methods for listing, adding, etc. Created mvc portlet based on this tutorial [https://dev.liferay.com/develop/tutorials/-/knowledge_base/7-0/updating-the-view] and it works, but there is some problems: - It is based on deprecated alloyUI and I wan't to move it to soy/metal.js (don't have any experience with any of them), - result table should have sorting/filtering capabilities, server side probably because it have to be compatible with WCAG so I wan't to keep html and js as clean as possible.
If I understand properly, I need to replace this part below for something that works with metal.js and soy?
<liferay-ui:search-container total="<%=EntryLocalServiceUtil.getEntriesCount()%>">
<liferay-ui:search-container-results
results="<%=EntryLocalServiceUtil.getEntries(scopeGroupId.longValue(),
guestbookId, searchContainer.getStart(),
searchContainer.getEnd())%>" />
<liferay-ui:search-container-row
className="com.liferay.docs.guestbook.model.Entry" modelVar="entry">
<liferay-ui:search-container-column-text property="message" />
<liferay-ui:search-container-column-text property="name" />
</liferay-ui:search-container-row>
<liferay-ui:search-iterator />
</liferay-ui:search-container>
How is sorting/filtering implemented in liferay-7.0? Do I have to use management bar or is it possible to allow users to sort by column (clicking on column header).
