How do I add checkbox filtering to a DataTable?

neelam_cite

I would like to add checkbox filters, I have created an example here: https://jsfiddle.net/4xpskzd9/3/ however I'm not sure what I might be missing as my checkbox filters always return 0 results.

I found some useful questions already asked (https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/53741) that are similar to what I would like to achieve but I cannot them to work.

You are referencing rowData[0] (first column) not rowData[4] (fifth column). Try making this change:

        if (elem.checked && rowData[4] === elem.value) {
          found = true;
        }

Thanks, that worked.

However I will be adding multiple checkboxes, is there a way to do this more programatically?

There's an example in this thread here - see my last comment. Hopefully that'll get you going,

You may be interested in this thread too. Its a simplified version of Colin's example. Just more options to show how this can be done
