columns.searchPanes.initCollapsed

Since: SearchPanes 1.4.0

Collapse Specific SearchPanes on initialisation.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

As standard, SearchPanes will not be collapsed on initialisation. This option allows that to happen on a per column basis. The SearchPane for this column will not be collapsed on initialisation even if this option is set to true in a variety of scenarios. Firstly, if searchPanes.collapse or columns.searchPanes.collapse are set to false. Secondly, if statesaving is enabled and this SearchPane was not collapsed at the point of the last state save.

This behaviour can be set on for all columns by using the columns.searchPanes.initCollapsed initialisation option.

Type

boolean

Description:: By setting the columns.searchPanes.initCollapsed option to true the SearchPane for that column will be initialised in the collapsed state.

Default

Value: false

The default value for the columns.searchPanes.initCollapsed parameter is false, meaning that as standard the searchpanes are not collapsed on initialisation.

Example

Collapse a Specific SearchPane on Initialisation:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		top1: 'searchPanes'
	},
	columnDefs: [
		{
			searchPanes: {
				initCollapsed: true
			},
			targets: [1]
		}
	]
});
