Buttons - customize option

rodriformiga

Hello @allan

Please, I would like to improve the documentation and standardization of the customize method, of export buttons. I checked the code, and in some places the window is simply passed, as in the case of the print, in others the configuration is sent, according to the pdf, and so on.
Would be nice if there was a property with the DataTables.Api or the config, so that inside the config function I can read some data from the datatable and apply the required customization.

To understand: I Have a custom print button:

$.fn.dataTable.ext.buttons.imprimir = {
    extend: "print"
  , name: "imprimir"
  , text: 'Imprimir'
  , exportOptions: { stripHtml: false //para grids com ícone
                   , columns: ":not(.tdAct)" //ignora colunas de acção 
                   }
  , title: $.fn.dataTable.ext.buttons.fnTitleExp
  , autoPrint: false
  , customize: function( win ) {
      console.log("print", this, win);
      var tab = $(win.document.body).find("table");
      tab.find("tr td:nth-child(3)").addClass( "dt-body-right" );
    }
};

and I use this button in many tables in my system. Inside my customize, I don't have the name of the table or any Datatable scope....

PS: I researched again, and only in the buttons excel and print is not passed the config

Sounds like a very good plan to me - thanks for the suggestion! I've committed the changes needed and they will be in the next release version.
