Icon on value of a cell if its empty.

bndalia

Hello everyone, I am needing to insert an icon (eg class = "fa fa-times") into the value of a cell if it is empty.
Try rendering or celldata but I have not achieved results.

I greatly appreciate your guide.
Greetings.

Hi @bndalia ,

If you only care about empty cells in a specific column, you can use columns.render to change the empty string to an icon.

If it's empty cells anywhere in a row you want to change, then the best place would be to use rowCallback to scan the data and then insert the icon if empty.

Cheers,

Colin

Thanks Colin,
Could you show me an example of how to use column.render to achieve this?

Hi @bndalia ,

Take a look at the fifth example on the columns.render page. It's doing a test for the data length, you can change that to be a test for the data, then replace it with your icon of choice,

Cheers,
