Dynamically turn bSearchable option when hiding columns

Dynamically turn bSearchable option when hiding columns - javascript

Is there a way to update the bSearchable parameters of the initialized columns option for an already initialized Datatable? The use case being that when dynamically hiding/showing columns using the ColVis plugin, the search box should not be able to filter based on hidden column values as this is disorienting.
This is the default behavior seen in the ColVis example page. I've tried manually updating the bSearchable value of individual columns but there doesn't seem to be a method to do so. Or is there?

Although I couldn't find it in documentation, I was able to find this post where Allan Jardine, creator of DataTables plug-in, recommends the method my answer is based on.
However the method mentioned in the post is not complete and requires table invalidation/re-draw for new setting to take effect.
Property this.s.dt in stateChange callback once it's called will contain DataTables.Settings object that we can modify to indicate that one of the columns should not be searchable.
Call api.rows().invalidate().draw() re-applies filtering rules and re-draws the table.
$('#example').DataTable({
dom: 'C<"clear">lfrtip',
colVis: {
stateChange: function(iColumn, bVisible) {
// Set searchable option based on whether column is visible
this.s.dt.aoColumns[iColumn].bSearchable = bVisible;
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api(this.s.dt);
api.rows().invalidate().draw();
}
}
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').DataTable({
dom: 'C<"clear">lfrtip',
colVis: {
stateChange: function(iColumn, bVisible) {
this.s.dt.aoColumns[iColumn].bSearchable = bVisible;
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api(this.s.dt);
api.rows().invalidate().draw();
}
}
});
});

DataTables conditional calculation on page load

I'm using this API plugin of datatables in order to calculate the sum of a column, I need to amend it slightly.
According to the docs;
The DataTables API is designed to be fully extensible, with custom functions being very easy to add using the $.fn.dataTable.Api.register function. This function takes two arguments; the first being the name of the method to be added and its chaining hierarchy, and the second the function itself.
How would I get the sum of age in all rows where office equals Tokyo, and display this outside of the table in a html element? I need this to display on page load, without clicking any button or filtering.
Code below;
html
<p id="sum"></p> <!-- display sum of Tokyo here -->
<table id="example" class="display" style="width:100%">

Why do you even need any extra plug-ins for that?
const dataTable = $('#example').DataTable();
const tokyoTotal = dataTable.data().toArray().reduce((total, row) => total += row[2] == 'Tokyo' ? parseFloat(row[3]) : 0, 0);
$('#sum').text(`Total age of Tokyo office employees: ${tokyoTotal}`);

JavaScript
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
var columns = ["Name", "Position", "Office", "Age", "Start date", "Salary"];
var rows = [];
var table_data = table.rows().data();
for (var i in table_data) {
rows.push(table_data[i]);
}
var doc = new jsPDF('p', 'pt');
doc.autoTable(columns, rows);
$('#cmd').click(function() {
doc.save('table.pdf');
});
For some reason, some extra page is printing. I haven't find any solution of this problem yet. How can i exclude extra pages from pdf ?

Cycle through data array as shown below:
for(var i = 0; i < table_data.length; i++){
rows.push(table_data[i]);
}
API method data() returns API instance instead of the plain array so that API methods could be chained. However if you access elements with [] and query array length with length property, it will work just fine.
See updated jsFiddle for code and demonstration.

Convert Pagination to Dropdown-style Pager

My team recently decided to use DataTables for our project which outputs out it's own pagination with really clean HTML. However, we had designed a specific dropdown style pager prior to this decision that we really want to use.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this with CSS and jQuery, without much luck. Hopefully someone can help. This is the HTML I'm working with:
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="paginate_button previous"><</li>
<li class="paginate_button">1</li>
<li class="paginate_button">2</li>
<li class="paginate_button">3</li>
<li class="paginate_button">4</li>
<li class="paginate_button">5</li>
<li class="paginate_button next">></li>
</ul>
Which looks like this:
What I want to do is take the list of pages and put them into a dropdown like this:
I figure I could use the :before selector and style it like a button for toggling the dropdown, however, I'm having trouble figuring out how I'd target only the pages and not the previous and next buttons since they're all nested in the same <ul>.
I haven't been able to figure out how to change the HTML DataTables outputs, but I might have to go that route.

SOLUTION 1
You can use the following code to select all li elements that represent pages and then manipulate it with jQuery.
$('.dataTables_paginate li')
.not('.previous')
.not('.next')
.not('.first')
.not('.last')
.not('.ellipsis');
See this jsFiddle for code and demonstration.
SOLUTION 2
You can use Select list pagination plug-in, see the example below:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable({
"pagingType": "listbox"
});
});

Update Specific Button HTML in Datatable

I'm using Datatables to display about 20 records and one of my columns contains a group of buttons. One of those buttons is a simple toggle button that, when clicked, sends an AJAX request back to the server and then updates the button (starred vs. not starred using Font Awesome icons) based on the response. The button and AJAX request seem to work fine, but I can't seem to make the star fill in or empty after the AJAX call. Here is my JS:
$(function () {
$('.btn-is_starred').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post( $(this).attr('href'), function( data ) {
if (data.is_starred == true) {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star"></i>');
}
else {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>');
}
});
});
});
Any advice?

You need to use delegated event handlers because links get recreated when table is redrawn.
Below is a sample code that you need to update to match your structure:
$('#example tbody').on('click', '.btn-is_starred', function(e){
// your code
});
See the example below. I have replaced $.post with setting data property is_starred for the sake of simplicity of the example.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable({
"columnDefs": [{
"targets": 5,
"data": null,
"defaultContent": '<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>'
}]
});
$('#example tbody').on('click', '.btn-is_starred', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (!$(this).data('is_starred')) {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star"></i>');
} else {
$(this).html('<i class="fa fa-star-o"></i>');
}
$(this).data('is_starred', !$(this).data('is_starred'));
});
});

</table>

You have 42 rows in your example. But your Page-Size is 10.
To get PageSize, you might want to use this:
https://datatables.net/reference/api/page.len()
Maybe this helps to make things clearer:
$(document).ready(function () {
var table=$('#example').dataTable({"pageLength": 30});
var tbl = $('#example').DataTable();
alert(JSON.stringify(tbl.page.info()));
});
I edited your jsfiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/6w8nbhr1/1/

You can get exact rows count in datatable object by using:
table.data().length;
Typically data object contains the arrays of rows, each row is an array under the object.

add this in datatable options
var table = $('#datatable_fixed_column')
.DataTable({
columns: [{....}],
"ajax": {....},
"initComplete": function (settings, json) {//here is the tricky part
var count = $('#my-table tr').length-1
$(".badge").html(count);
}
initComplete will be executed when your table has fully been initialised,
so using jquery Get all tr then -1 for the header
