css attribute display: none

mBeier

Hey,

in the past I used DataTables with Bootstrap 3, actually im refractoring for Bootstrap 4.

there is a strange behaviour with DataTables and Bootstrap 4.
First it always adds a 'display: none' css property to my table div.

-> this is from my rendered page

<table id="devices" class="table display responsive dataTable no-footer" role="grid" aria-describedby="devices_info" style="width:  557px; display: none;">

if I remove the display: none property manually the table shows up but looks strange .. if I also remove the dataTable class, the table looks like a normal bootstrap 4 table, but the width is not set to 100% to the div.

if I change the 'width: xxx px' property to 100% it has its full width.

I dont actually know where my failure is.

const devicesTdata = [];
for (let i = 0; i < expressData.customerDevices.length; i += 1) {
  devicesTdata.push({
    name: expressData.customerDevices[i].settings.name,
    serial: expressData.customerDevices[i].serial,
    article: expressData.customerDevices[i].article,
    gatewayId: expressData.customerDevices[i].settings.gatewayId,
  });
}

// data example

[…]
0: {…}
article: "0000"
gatewayId: "1234"
name: "Testname"
serial: "9876"

// dataTables

const deviceTableOpts = $('#devices').DataTable({
  // searching: false,
  // paging: false,
  responsive: true,
  columns: deviceTHead,
  data: devicesTdata,
});

Edit: I have the same Problem with your example Bootstrap 4 DataTable (copy&paste)**
