Export only the selected row?

jimboy

Hi,

How to export a selected row that uses checkbox as a selection? This sample here exports single row https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/print/select.html
but is it possible using checkboxes for multi-selection?

            elementID.dataTable({
                select: true,
                dom: 'lBfrtip',
                buttons: [
                    {
                        extend: 'print',
                        text: 'Print Selected',
                        exportOptions: {
                            modifier: {
                                selected: true
                            }
                        },
                    },
                ],
            });

Thanks,

Have you looked at the Select Extension Checkboxes example?

Hi kthorngren,

Although the sample allows multiple-selection in conjunction with the Ctrl keyboard button, how to allow multi-selection just by clicking the checkbox?

Thanks,

Ok, I found it from here and looks promising. https://www.gyrocode.com/projects/jquery-datatables-checkboxes/

Is there a built-in feature from the above link?

Use select.style set to multi. Example here.
