why is the 'btn-primary' color not applied for datatables buttons?

holstyBoy

hi team,

i stumbled across the following phenomenon:

by applying the className: 'btn btn-xxxxxx', i.e.

                            extend: 'selectedSingle',
                                className: 'btn btn-warning',
                                text: 'bearbeiten',
                                action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
                                    editContact(dt);
                                }
                            }

datatables is changing the button color to all available bootstrap button colors BUT btn-primary! if i define 'btn btn-primary' the buttons stay in the datatables defaultt color: grey.

btw, this phenomenon applies also to the datatables 'csv, pdf, excel' buttons

am i doing something wrong or is it expected default behaviour?

It has btn-secondary as a default, so that is overriding your primary.

Do:

DataTable.Buttons.defaults.dom.button.className = 'btn';
