Should footerCallback be called when clearing a search filter?

wjens

I have custom footer code displaying during the footerCallback but when I clear a search filter only the <tbody/> gets updated and there doesn't appear to be a footerCallback so my footer data is stale. Is there another callback for search filter clearing?

If you call draw() then yes, the footer callback should be called. It is called everytime the table is redrawn.

I don't think I was clear. My footerCallback is not being called when someone clears their search criteria using Datatables built-in search field. I'm not programmatically doing anything with search, just trying to show sum/counts in the footer.

I don't mind calling draw() manually but what do I need to hook into in order to know when the search field has been cleared. This feels like a bug.

This example seems to work when clearing the builtin search field:

Can you post an example showing the issue?
