I'm using Datatables to display data in a table and I'm trying to create a button for each row and catch click event using columns.render.
I created the button using JQuery and tried to add a click event which doesn't seem to be working
I know there are other methods to do this, but why this method doesn't work?
var dataSet = [
["Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800"],
["Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750"],
["Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000"],
["Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060"],
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"],
["Brielle Williamson", "Integration Specialist", "New York", "4804", "2012/12/02", "$372,000"],
["Herrod Chandler", "Sales Assistant", "San Francisco", "9608", "2012/08/06", "$137,500"],
["Rhona Davidson", "Integration Specialist", "Tokyo", "6200", "2010/10/14", "$327,900"]
];
$('#example').DataTable({
data: dataSet,
responsive: true,
columns: [{
title: "Name"
},
{
title: "Position"
},
{
title: "Office"
},
{
title: "Extn."
},
{
title: "Start date"
},
{
title: "Salary"
},
{
"render": function(data, type, row, meta) {
var button = $('<button/>', {
html: "Click!"
});
button.click(function() {
alert("Click event working");
});
return button[0].outerHTML;
}
}
]
});

The issue is because the render logic is building a new element from the string you provide. This means that, although you attach a click handler to the element, it's lost as the jQuery object is not used to append the new content.
To fix this, you can use a delegated event handler on the button elements:
var dataSet = [
["Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800"],
["Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750"],
["Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000"],
["Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060"],
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"],
["Brielle Williamson", "Integration Specialist", "New York", "4804", "2012/12/02", "$372,000"],
["Herrod Chandler", "Sales Assistant", "San Francisco", "9608", "2012/08/06", "$137,500"],
["Rhona Davidson", "Integration Specialist", "Tokyo", "6200", "2010/10/14", "$327,900"]
];
$('#example').DataTable({
data: dataSet,
responsive: true,
columns: [
{ title: "Name" },
{ title: "Position" },
{ title: "Office" },
{ title: "Extn." },
{ title: "Start date" },
{ title: "Salary" },
{
"render": function(data, type, row, meta) {
return '<button data-name="' + row[0] + '">Click!</button>';
}
}
]
});
$('#example').on('click', 'button', function() {
console.log($(this).data('name'));

I want to customize my pagination view for DataTalble for one of my client requirement. I want pagination view same shown in the image.
For this purpose i have modified some code of datables.js.
DataTable.js:
$.extend(extPagination, {
simple: function (page, pages) {
return ['previous', 'next'];
},
full: function (page, pages) {
return ['first', 'previous', 'next', 'last'];
},
numbers: function (page, pages) {
return [_numbers(page, pages)];
},
simple_numbers: function (page, pages) {
return ['previous', _numbers(page, pages), 'next'];
},
full_numbers: function (page, pages) {
return ['first', 'previous', _numbers(page, pages), 'next', 'last'];
},
first_last_numbers: function (page, pages) {
return ['first', _numbers(page, pages), 'last'];
},
custom: function (page, pages) {
return ['previous', _numbers(page, pages), 'next'];
},
// For testing and plug-ins to use
_numbers: _numbers,
// Number of number buttons (including ellipsis) to show. _Must be odd!_
numbers_length: 7
});
In My datatable view i have added sPaginationType as custom.
$('#tblSessionList').DataTable({
"bPaginate": true,
"sPaginationType": "custom",
"bLengthChange": false,
"columnDefs": [
{ "targets": 0, "orderable": true },
{ "targets": 1, "orderable": false },
{ "targets": 2, "orderable": false }
],
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"searching": false,
"scrollX": true
});
By Creating new function i am not able to hide page numbers. Now i am not able to find out how to modify view. Please Help

You can customize the pagination button labels through language.paginate.next and language.paginate.previous.
$('#tblSessionList').DataTable({
language: {
paginate: {
next: '<img src="path/to/arrow.png">',
previous: '<i class="fa fa-fw fa-long-arrow-left">'
}
},
"bPaginate": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"columnDefs": [
{ "targets": 0, "orderable": true },
{ "targets": 1, "orderable": false },
{ "targets": 2, "orderable": false }
],
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"searching": false,
"scrollX": true
});
After did some research on datatable.js. I found a solution.
HTML:
$('#tblSessionList').DataTable({
language: {
paginate: {
next: '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-menu-right"></span>',
previous: '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-menu-left"></span>'
}
},
"bPaginate": true,
"sPaginationType": "custom",
"bLengthChange": false,
"columnDefs": [
{ "targets": 0, "orderable": true },
{ "targets": 1, "orderable": false },
{ "targets": 2, "orderable": false }
],
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"searching": false,
"scrollX": true
});
Here is all you need to change in datatable.js:
$.extend(true, DataTable.ext.renderer, {
pageButton: {
_: function(settings, host, idx, buttons, page, pages) {
var classes = settings.oClasses;
var lang = settings.oLanguage.oPaginate;
var aria = settings.oLanguage.oAria.paginate || {};
var btnDisplay,
btnClass,
counter = 0;
var attach = function(container, buttons) {
var i, ien, node, button;
var clickHandler = function(e) {
_fnPageChange(settings, e.data.action, true);
};
for (i = 0, ien = buttons.length; i < ien; i++) {
button = buttons[i];
if ($.isArray(button)) {
var inner;
if (settings.sPaginationType == "custom") {
inner = $(
"<span class='custom-pagination'> Page " + parseInt(page + 1) + " of " + pages + " </span>"
).appendTo(container);
} else {
inner = $("<" + (button.DT_el || "div") + "/>").appendTo(
container
);
attach(inner, button);
}
} else {
btnDisplay = null;
btnClass = "";
switch (button) {
case "ellipsis":
container.append('<span class="ellipsis">…</span>');
break;
case "first":
btnDisplay = lang.sFirst;
btnClass =
button +
(page > 0 ? "" : " " + classes.sPageButtonDisabled);
break;
case "previous":
btnDisplay = lang.sPrevious;
btnClass =
button +
(page > 0 ? "" : " " + classes.sPageButtonDisabled);
break;
case "next":
btnDisplay = lang.sNext;
btnClass =
button +
(page < pages - 1 ? "" : " " + classes.sPageButtonDisabled);
console.log(btnClass)
break;
case "last":
btnDisplay = lang.sLast;
btnClass =
button +
(page < pages - 1 ? "" : " " + classes.sPageButtonDisabled);
break;
default:
// To Button
btnDisplay = button + 1;
btnClass = page === button ? classes.sPageButtonActive : "";
console.log(btnDisplay);
break;
}
if (btnDisplay !== null) {
//
node = $("<a>", {
class: classes.sPageButton + " " + btnClass,
"aria-controls": settings.sTableId,
"aria-label": aria[button],
"data-dt-idx": counter,
tabindex: settings.iTabIndex,
id:
idx === 0 && typeof button === "string"
? settings.sTableId + "_" + button
: null
})
.html(btnDisplay)
.appendTo(container);
// }
_fnBindAction(node, { action: button }, clickHandler);
counter++;
}
}
}
};
// IE9 throws an 'unknown error' if document.activeElement is used
// inside an iframe or frame. Try / catch the error. Not good for
// accessibility, but neither are frames.
var activeEl;
try {
// Because this approach is destroying and recreating the paging
// elements, focus is lost on the select button which is bad for
// accessibility. So we want to restore focus once the draw has
// completed
activeEl = $(host)
.find(document.activeElement)
.data("dt-idx");
} catch (e) {}
attach($(host).empty(), buttons);
if (activeEl !== undefined) {
$(host)
.find("[data-dt-idx=" + activeEl + "]")
.focus();
}
}
}
});
I have created a table with jquery.dataTable :
var dataSet = [
[ "Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800" ],
[ "Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750" ],
[ "Ashton Cox", "Junior Technical Author", "San Francisco", "1562", "2009/01/12", "$86,000" ],
[ "Cedric Kelly", "Senior Javascript Developer", "Edinburgh", "6224", "2012/03/29", "$433,060" ],
[ "Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700" ],
[ "Unity Butler", "Marketing Designer", "San Francisco", "5384", "2009/12/09", "$85,675" ]
];
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable( {
data: dataSet,
columns: [
{ title: "Name" },
{ title: "Position" },
{ title: "Office" },
{ title: "Extn." },
{ title: "Start date" },
{ title: "Salary" }
]
} );
} );
I want to use Row created callback to highlight the salary more than $150000. How can I do this?
You can use this code:
First, replace , and the symbol $ for parse to float value.
Second compare the result and add tag <b>.
$('#example').DataTable( {
data: dataSet,
columns: [
{ title: "Name" },
{ title: "Position" },
{ title: "Office" },
{ title: "Extn." },
{ title: "Start date" },
{ title: "Salary",
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
var salary;
salary = parseFloat(data.replace(',','').replace('$',''));
console.log(salary);
if (salary > 150000){
return "<b>" + data + "</b>";
}else{
return data;
}
},
}
],
} );
Result: https://jsfiddle.net/cmedina/7kfmyw6x/52/
Another alternative (though #CMedina's approach works) is to use a rowCallback which will allow you to alter the whole row and highlight it. Like this:
"rowCallback": function(row, data, index){
if(numeral().unformat(data[5]) > 150000){
$(row).addClass("highlight");
$('td:eq(5)', row).html("<b>" + data[5] + "</b>");
}
}
I've included numeral.js to make the parsing easier. Working JSFiddle.
I have the following JavaScript with DataTables.
$(document).ready(function() {
var columns = [
{title: "Name"},
{title: "Position"},
{title: "Office"},
{title: "Extn."},
{title: "Start date"},
{title: "Salary"}
];
// Footer construction
var $tfoot = $("#example tfoot tr");
for (var i = 0, len = columns.length; i < len ; i++){
$tfoot.append("<th>");
}
$('#example').DataTable( {
data: dataSet,
columns: columns,
initComplete: function (setting, json) {
this.api().columns().every( function () {
var column = this;
var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
.appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty() )
.on( 'change', function () {
var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
$(this).val()
);
column
.search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
.draw();
} );
column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
} );
} );
}
} );
} );
var dataSet = [
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"],

As you can see, when you run the code snippet, I can filter the every column with drop down list at the bottom.
But what I intend to do is only to apply the column on 2nd (position) and 3rd (office) columns . How can I achieve that?
every() function pass an index parameter to the callback.
You can use it to check if you want to add a filter or not.
this.api().columns().every( function (index) {
if (index != 1 && index != 2) return;
$(document).ready(function() {
var columns = [
{title: "Name"},
{title: "Position"},
{title: "Office"},
{title: "Extn."},
{title: "Start date"},
{title: "Salary"}
];
// Footer construction
var $tfoot = $("#example tfoot tr");
for (var i = 0, len = columns.length; i < len ; i++){
$tfoot.append("<th class='select-filter'>");
}
$('#example').DataTable( {
data: dataSet,
columns: columns,
initComplete: function (setting, json) {
this.api().columns().every( function (index) {
// just continue if index 1 and 2
if (index != 1 && index != 2) return;
var column = this;
var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
.appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty() )
.on( 'change', function () {
var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
$(this).val()
);
column
.search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
.draw();
} );
column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
} );
} );
}
} );
} );
var dataSet = [
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"],
["Angelica Ramos", "Chief Executive Officer (CEO)", "London", "5797", "2009/10/09", "$1,200,000"],

<table id="example" class="display" width="100%">
<tfoot><tr></tr></tfoot>
</table>
Change the js from -- this.api().columns().every( function () { to this.api().columns('.select-filter').every( function () {,
then add class "select-filter" to table-header:
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th class="select-filter">Position</th>
<th class="select-filter">Office</th>
<th>Extn.</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
SOLUTION
You can specify an array with column indexes in a call to columns() API method.
For example, to display filter in second and third columns only:
this.api().columns([1,2]).every( function (index) {
DEMO
$(document).ready(function() {
var columns = [
{title: "Name"},
{title: "Position"},
{title: "Office"},
{title: "Extn."},
{title: "Start date"},
{title: "Salary"}
];
// Footer construction
var $tfoot = $("#example tfoot tr");
for (var i = 0, len = columns.length; i < len ; i++){
$tfoot.append("<th class='select-filter'>");
}
$('#example').DataTable( {
data: dataSet,
columns: columns,
initComplete: function (setting, json) {
this.api().columns([1,2]).every( function (index) {
var column = this;
var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
.appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty() )
.on( 'change', function () {
var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
$(this).val()
);
column
.search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
.draw();
} );
column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
} );
} );
}
} );
} );
var dataSet = [
["Airi Satou", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "5407", "2008/11/28", "$162,700"],
["Angelica Ramos", "Chief Executive Officer (CEO)", "London", "5797", "2009/10/09", "$1,200,000"],

I am interested in creating a function that creates DataTables dynamically with the Data parameter passed in the function.
Below is what I wrote so far, the DataTables can add rows dynamically, but not the column header - can use some help here (I've read the DT API, but didn't find much help there).
var table2 = $('#example2').DataTable({
"paging" : true,
"ordering" : true,
});
// header row
table2.columns().header(data["header"]).draw();
// create rows
for (var prop in data["staff"]) {
table2.row.add([
data["staff"][prop].name,
data["staff"][prop].position,
data["staff"][prop].office,
data["staff"][prop].age,
data["staff"][prop].Start_date,
data["staff"][prop].salary
]).draw();
}
The Data passed into the function:
var data = {
"header": [
"Name",
"Position",
"Office",
"Age",
"Start_date",
"Salary"
],
"staff": [
{
"name": "Tiger Nixon",
"position": "System Architect",
"office": "Edinburgh",
"age": 61,
"Start_date": "2011/04/25",
"salary": "$320,800"
},
{
"name": "Garrett Winters",
"position": "Accountant",
"office": "Tokyo",
"age": 63,
"Start_date": "2011/07/25",
"salary": "$170,750"
},
{
"name": "Ashton Cox",
"position": "Junior Technical Author",
"office": "San Francisco",
"age": 66,
"Start_date": "2009/01/12",
"salary": "$86,000"
}
]
};
