Savestate

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about savestate, how long does it save your settings, like i set rows per page max to like 100, but i added options to change it to allow users to set more or less, but i notice it keeps going back to default after a while, so im wondering how long does it last?

It is up to you to set state duration.

I just read a diff page, it said 2hrs is default, if I want it unlimited i need to do "stateDuration": 0
correct?

The documentation tangerine linked to states:

This option is also used to indicate to DataTables if localStorage or sessionStorage should be used for storing the table's state. When set to -1 sessionStorage will be used, while for 0 or greater localStorage will be used.

Could you clarify what is not clear about that and I'll fix it?

I realised now, that 0 means it don't clear, btw what's the difference between -1 and 0?

• When set to -1 sessionStorage will be used

Otherwise localStorage is used.

Which do you want to use? Do you want it to be session based, or not? That's your answer :-)
