Datatables v1.10 - How to retrieve caseInsensitive value?

zeinerrj

Hi,

I have set up a datatable as

$("#example").DataTable( { "search": { "caseInsensitive": false } } )

I am trying to get/set the caseInsensitive value. I have tried $("#example").DataTable().caseInsensitive and $("#example").DataTable().search().caseInsensitive but nether works. Does anyone know the correct syntax?

Thanks.

Hi,

There is unfortunately no public API to get this information from a DataTable. You could use the information from the settings() object (table.settings()[0].oSearch. bCaseInsensitive I think) - but this is not a public API - it might change in future! What I would suggest, if you do use this option is that you create a plug-in API method that will return this information, so if it does change in future, you will only need to change it in one place.
