Skip state save in particular cases

xtech_dev

Hello,

I have read documentation about stateSave callback's. Is there any way to cancel state saving i particular cases.

I mean something like:

var allowToSaveState = false;
var dt = $('#example').dataTable( {
  "stateSave": true,
  "stateSaveParams": function (settings, data) {
     return allowToSaveState;
  }
});

dt.state.save() // save should be skipped
allowToSaveState = true;

dt.state.save() // save should be preformed

How to make it work?
I'm using DataTables 1.10.18

You need to delete the items you don't want from the data object - e.g.:

delete data.columns;

Will it stop saving (storage not touched) or only prevent from saving particular state components?

or only prevent from saving particular state components?

This.

There isn't currently a way to stop it saving if state saving is enabled (also, even if there was, the last state that was saved would still be present).
