Make a checkbox which filters content from table

ggiavelli

I'd like to make a checkbox which filters out all rows which have a column of a set value from display in the table. But so that it works like a show/hide function on those rows, but still allows the regular search to happen.

A search plugin will work well for this. Here is an example I created previously.

Hello kthorngren how would i do the exact opposite i need to hide rows that have a value by checking a checkbox

kthorngren

The search plugin docs describe how to control which rows are displayed:

The plug-in search function should return a boolean value:
true - The row should be included in the search results
false - The row should be removed from the search results

Here is the updated example - return false if there is a match to hide the row:
