a look at a table rendered by DataTables 2.3:

a look at a table with ColumnControl configured: {example-table-thin

This example demonstrates sorting on cells when no data is present. As an empty cell isn't very clear in a pane, a string can be used instead to denote the empty value. The default for searchPanes.i18n.emptyMessage is "No Data".

KeyTable supports DataTables' scrolling options (scrollX and scrollY) without requiring any additional configuration. As the navigation keys are used to alter the focus of the KeyTable, the DataTables scrolling position is altered to show the focused cell.

Editor can edit a DataTable locally, without saving to a database, simply by excluding the ajax option from its configuration. When operating in this mode, Editor can still be used to edit the data, including making use of its field type options and multi-row editing abilities, but the data is not submitted to the server, and thus not permanently stored. In this example, data is loaded from the server, but no Ajax request is made when saving data (refreshing the page will cause the changes to be lost). This can be particularly useful if you want to save changes using a local mechanism rather than Editor's Ajax options (for example queuing all data before submitting with a custom button).

This example demonstrates the use of searchList with a horizontally scrolling DataTable. Specifically note that the position of the dropdown is relative to the header, regardless of the horizontal scrolling of the DataTable.

This is a simple example to show ColReorder working with DataTables vertical scrolling (scrollY).

The miniTable template that is built into CardView will create a small table, with two columns. The first shows the column title and the second the data from the corresponding cell. One row per column is added. This template is simple and compact.

As with its companion example, this example shows Buttons's multi-row header and footer handling, but in this case shows how to limited the export to a specific row, rather than including all rows in the header / footer in the export. This can be useful if you have a row in the header for search input elements that wouldn't be relevant in the exported data, as is shown here. To have only one row in the header's output, we use the customizeData callback function of the exportOptions for each button (see buttons.exportData() for the full list of options available for the export options) to manipulate the data to be exported - in this case removing a row from the header. This function is shared between all buttons used on this page to help with code readability and reduce size.

This example shows the use of the layout parameter with configuration options passed directly to the layout object. Note how the object key matches the feature name and the configuration options available to pass to it depend upon the feature. Plug-ins for DataTables can add new features, each with their own options. The built in features are: info pageLength paging search In this case pageLength.menu is used to define custom entries for the select dropdown, search.placeholder is used to define a placeholder for the global search, and paging.buttons is used to set the number of paging number buttons should be shown.
