Why filter() function not hiding/showing the row(s)?

rannie

I tried this.

dt.rows().data().filter(() => {
  return false
}).draw()

but rows are still visible.

I want to add a filter form in my data table.
I want the table to update when the user change the state of filter form.

just like this javascript array filter.

rows.filter((row) => {
  return matchInFilterForm(row)
})

rannie

Any help? Thanks!

As the filter() documentation says:

This method should not be confused with search() which is used to search for records in the DataTable - i.e. the filter method does not change the rows that are displayed in the DataTable.

If you want to search the table and update the display for that search, you need to use search() or a search plug-in method.
