Common Settings for Multiple DataTables

Khushi2005

Hi,
I am having multiple default settings for various pages. I wanted to have common functions which can be called on tables.

'''
$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {

"searching"String: false,

"ordering"String: false

} );

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#example'String).DataTable();

} );
'''

Is it possible pass String or call function when you say

$('#example'String).DataTable(call function/string );

Thanks in advance

I don't really understand your question I'm afraid. If you want to apply common settings, you would do so using the defaults, which you mention.

Let's say I have 6 tables and I am attaching similar styles to 3 tables and other styles to remaining.
So instead of writing same code , I wanted to check if I can pass String like

              responsive: true
            , 'bAutoWidth' : false
            ,searching : true

and other styles as
responsive: true
, 'bAutoWidth' : false
,searching : false
,paging : true

Similar to using this function
$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {}

but instead of fn.dataTable.defaults pass fn.dataTable.(cssClass name or some Selector)

I hope I am able to explain.

What I want to accomplish to avoid rewriting all the default formats for different sets.
The more I am using Datatable more I am enjoying using it.

Thanks for such an awesome plugIn

You could do this:

var defaults1 = {
  responsive: true,
  ...
};

var defaults2 = {
  ...
};

$('#myTable').DataTable( $.extend( true, {}, {
  ...
}, defaults1 );
