search in nested object

zehgeh

Hello, I have a nested object and a part of it I want to output in a subtable. I also want to search in it via a search field. However, the search finds nothing in it. I want to search e.g. "Wassermelone" and then output this row. How can I solve that it also searches in the subtable?

Thank you for the help

Datatables will only search in table columns. You can extract the keywords you want to search and place them in a hidden column. Use columns.render to extract the keywords you want and build a list for each cell. See this updated example:

Comment out "visible": false to see what the column data looks like.

Thank you very much Kevin. This helps me a lot. However, I wanted to push the column dynamically, only that does not work yet. The "details" column is created, but it is not invisible. And I can't search for the contents then either.
Where is my thinking error there?

Datatables doesn't support adding columns after initialization. I've never seen settings().init().columns.push() before. Where did you find it?

You can create a columns object variable before initializing Datatables and use that for the columns. Something like this:
