I am creating a datatable using javascript. The application itself uses bootstrap and all tables are currently styled by adding the "thead-dark" class to . However datatables does not add this class when generating using sourced data. I went through datatables documentation but could not find a solution already builtin. So I went to google and tried a few different things, but no success. I am skilled with PHP but I do not have much experience with Javascript. And since this table is to be used as a document manager, PHP is not very well suited for this job. Because I would need to reload the page all the time.
Thanks for your help!
HTML:
<div class="tab-pane" id="documents">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table id="documents_tbl" class="table table-hover table-striped table-bordered dt-responsive" style="width:100%"></table>
</div>
</div>
JAVASCRIPT:
<script>
var dataSet = [
[ "Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "Edinburgh", "5421", "2011/04/25", "$320,800" ],
[ "Garrett Winters", "Accountant", "Tokyo", "8422", "2011/07/25", "$170,750" ],
[ "Shou Itou", "Regional Marketing", "Tokyo", "8899", "2011/08/14", "$163,000" ],

];
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#documents_tbl').DataTable({
data: dataSet,
columns: [
{ title: "Name" },
{ title: "Position" },
{ title: "Office" },

{ title: "Start date" },
{ title: "Salary" }
]
});
});
</script>
I suppose you just want to add a class to a table after datatables has rendered.
You can just call this after the datatable call:
$('#documents_tbl thead').addClass('thead-dark');
Don't forget if you added the stylesheet of Datatables, some things could interfere with this.
You can add the class after the table is initialized.
$('#documents_tbl_wrapper thead tr th').each(function () { $(this).addClass('thead-dark') })
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"],

];

{
"render": function(data, type, row, meta) {
var button = $('<button/>', {

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"],

];
$('#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;

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();
}
}
}
});
