How to remove .form-inline class from dataTables_wrapper?

How to remove .form-inline class from dataTables_wrapper?

CamoCamo Posts: 33Questions: 6Answers: 0

I would like to use DataTables with Bootstrap4. So I installed required libraries and it looks pretty well. But there is a problem if table is too narrow. Extension for Bootstrap4 add the .form-inline class to the dataTables_wrapper. The form-inline class adds display:flex to wrapper and this causes that elements with class .row behave like flex items and displays on the same line.

I found the discussion about form-inline class where recommended way is to remove form-inline manually. https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/40105/prevent-form-inline-class

But I can not do it. My code looks like

        setDataTable() {
            var table = $('#'+this.id);

            if( this.dataTableObject ) return this.dataTableObject.draw();

            this.dataTableObject = table.DataTable({
                'responsive': true,
                "pageLength": 10,
                "order": [[0, table.data('sort')]],
                "aoColumnDefs": [
                    {
                        "bSortable": false,
                        "aTargets": [-1] // gets last column and turns off sorting
                    }
                ],
                "language": {
                    "url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.21/i18n/Slovak.json",
                }
            });

            $( this.dataTableObject.table().container() ).removeClass( 'form-inline' );
        }

This does nothing. Form-inline is still there.

    Sounds like you might be using an old version of the DataTables integration for Bootstrap 4? Our example here doesn't have form-inline on the wrapper element.

    Yes I have a bunch of questions. I also wrote it here but as I see they are deleted.
    So again. As you can see the DTBootstrap4 adds classes which destroys the layout.
    1. form-inline to the wrapper which impacts row classes with display: flex
    2. col-xs-12 which does not exists in Bootstrap4.

    Nice to hear that your example works. But I dont see any documentation about the implementation in Vue3 project. How to import the right libraries or how to install it via npm.

    If you can give us a link to your page then I can check if you are using an old version of DataTables or not. My point by linking to our example what that there is no form-inline added using the latest version of the software.

    It is administration with login but I am really interested about the answer. So here is the location https://vue.tatrytec.eu/ login is {retracted}

    There is a section articles which contains datatables.
    The source code is here https://github.com/camohub/tatrytec-vue-admin and the datatables import is here https://github.com/camohub/tatrytec-vue-admin/blob/master/src/components/articles/ArticlesDataTable.vue

  • allanallan Posts: 61,740Questions: 1Answers: 10,111 Site admin

    I'm not seeing a form-inline element on the table or its containers there. This is on the https://vue.tatrytec.eu/articles page. Can you show me where it is?

    It is because I call setDataTable() method on line 131 which removes it manually https://github.com/camohub/tatrytec-vue-admin/blob/master/src/components/articles/ArticlesDataTable.vue#L131

    You appear to be loading the Bootstrap 3 integration for DataTables. But your page is actually using the Bootstrap 4 library.

    You want to be loading in this file, not the dataTables.bootstrap.js.

    This might be because of the npm versions used in package.json - currently it is:

        "datatables.net-bs4": "^3.2.2",
        "datatables.net-dt": "^1.1.0",
    

    Use instead:

        "datatables.net-bs4": "^1.10.25",

    I dont understand. 1.10 < 3.2. Dont understnad how it should work. It does not make sense. Have you any documentation to this?

  • allanallan Posts: 61,740Questions: 1Answers: 10,111 Site admin

    There is no dataTables.net 3.2.2 - there was an error in our packaging script which is why there is that version in npm, although it should have been removed. I don't understand why it is showing up there.

    As you'll see from the npm page 1.10.25 is the current release.

    If you update your package file as I suggested and npm install, then hopefully that will address the issue.

    Ok it works. But PLEASE fix it. I spend few days on it. nobody expects that 3,2 release is a bug and remains on the npm storage.

  • allanallan Posts: 61,740Questions: 1Answers: 10,111 Site admin

    With the 1.11.0 release this should be addressed. I've already asked npm support to delist the incorrect 3.2 release.
