Is the table empty?

GeorgeHelmke

I would like to be able to know if the table is empty. Starting editor.inline(this) with no rows available ends up with a crash.

Hi,

How are you currently adding event listeners to start the inline() edit? What you could do is modify the jQuery selector to ignore the empty row - for example:

$('#myTable').on( 'click', 'tbody td:not(.dataTables_empty)', function () {
  editor.inline( this );
} );

Another option would be to use the data() method and check its length. If the length is 0, then there are no records in the table:

$('#myTable').on( 'click', 'tbody td', function () {
  if ( table.data().length !== 0 ) {
    editor.inline( this );
  }
} );

Regards,
Allan

I went for the second option, worked perfectly. Thanks!
