Export only visible rows with csv/pdf/print buttons?

Sansui

There seems to be some old information on the old TableTools for limiting exports to visible or selected rows, but I'm having a hard time finding the same kind of info for the new buttons. I see there is a plugin for limiting by column visibility, but what about rows? With a couple thousand rows I really only want the filtered set to show up in an export.

Sansui

{
  extend: 'pdf',
  exportOptions: {
    rows: { selected: true }
  }
}

On another thread I found this snippet about using the row selector with exportOptions. Instead of selected:true, could I set it to a jquery selector somehow?

Found what seems to work. It doesn't export visible like I was thinking, but the actual filtered set, which is better.

"buttons": [ { extend: 'csv', text: 'CSV', exportOptions: { modifier: { search: 'applied' }}}, { extend: 'excel', text: 'Excel', exportOptions: { modifier: { search: 'applied' }}}, { extend: 'pdf', text: 'PDF', exportOptions: { modifier: { search: 'applied' }}}, { extend: 'print', text: 'Print visible', exportOptions: { modifier: { search: 'applied' }}} ]
