Search

As standard, Custom panes will be titled with the string "Custom Pane". Setting searchPanes.panes.header to any other string value will cause that string to be displayed in the title of the Pane.

By setting a class name, specific panes can be targeted for custom styling. Custom Panes can have custom classes applied in a similar way to how columns.searchPanes.dtOpts are applied to panes. You can declare the searchPanes.panes.className option within an object of the panes array, this will apply the custom class to that pane.

Empty cells will be represented in the panes by the option searchPanes.i18n.emptyMessage. This is useful as it's a more user-friendly way than just having a blank cell. The value is passed through the i18n() function. This value supersedes searchPanes.emptyMessage (deprecated) and columns.searchPanes.emptyMessage. If it is desired for those values to be used searchPanes.i18n.emptyMessage should be undefined, as it is by default. When this is the case the two previous options will be used. This option will default to the value given by language.searchPanes.emptyMessage, which should generally be preferred over this option as the language strings can be loaded by Ajax and shared for the whole table, but if needed, this option is available to override that on a per instance basis.

This method provides the ability to rebuild the panes should a change occur on the associated DataTable. If no argument is provided to searchPanes.rebuildPane() then all of the panes will be rebuilt. Otherwise, the searchPanes.rebuildPane() function takes in the index of the pane. The index of the panes include hidden panes and custom panes - to rebuild the second column's associated pane call searchPanes.rebuildPane(1). As custom panes come after the column's panes, to rebuild the first custom pane where a table has five columns then the command to run would be searchPanes.rebuildPane(5) (note counting starts from zero). A second parameter is available which allows the selections to be maintained when a rebuild is called. It is a boolean value with a default of false.

This method provides the ability to clear all of the selections that have been made in the panes should a change occur on the associated DataTable. searchPanes.clearSelections() takes no argument - all selections are cleared in every pane.

This will set the text between the two value input elements, by default this is 'and'. This language option is available in custom conditions and plugins also.

This will set the placeholder text for the data select element, by default this is 'Data'. This dom element is available in custom conditions and plugins also.

This option allows custom conditions to have their names customised. This object contains the following properties, whose value is a further object of the type language.searchBuilder.conditions[type]. More details for the types can be found at columns.type. string - Condition names for string and html conditions. date - Condition names for date, moment and luxon conditions. number - Condition names for simple numbers, and formatted numbers, including html with no formatting array - Condition names for array conditions More details on the structure that is used can be found at language.searchBuilder.conditions[type].
