buttons().active()
Set the active state for the selected buttons.
Please note - this property requires the Buttons extension for DataTables.
Description
Buttons can be placed into an "active" state which is purely a styling function to visually show to the end user that the button is active (i.e. whatever operation it performs is currently active). This can be useful if you have a number of different modes of operation that the user can select from, but only one can be active at a time.
This method can be used to dynamically change the active state for the selected buttons.
