  Not sure I'm clear what you want. Is this what you are looking for?

  I would like for example to put a button beyond the table, is it possible somehow to do it?
  For an example, I will show how I did it with charts.

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-info" id="btnPdf">Export Chart <i class="mdi mdi-file-pdf"></i></button>
  
      $("#btnPdf").on('click', function (event) {
          chart1.exportChart({ type: "application/pdf" });
      });

  The direct insertion method I linked to uses the buttons().container() API to place the buttons. The buttons().container() docs have an example. From that example I put together this example to show placing the buttons in a div.
