selectAll

Since: Select 1.0.0

Select all items in the table based on the current item select mode.
Please note - this property requires the Select extension for DataTables.

Description

The selectAll button will simply select all items in the table, based on the current item selection mode (select.items()) - e.g. if the item selection mode is rows, all rows in the table will be selected when this button is activated.

Examples

DataTables initialisation: Show select all and select none buttons with language options in the DataTables language object:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		topStart: {
			buttons: ['selectAll', 'selectNone']
		}
	},
	language: {
		buttons: {
			selectAll: 'Select all items',
			selectNone: 'Select none'
		}
	}
});

Using a selector modifier to select only rows matched by the current filter (first button), and those on the first page (second button).:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		topStart: {
			buttons: [
				{
					text: 'Select filter applied - object',
					extend: 'selectAll',
					selectorModifier: {
						search: 'applied'
					}
				},
				{
					text: 'Select current page - function',
					extend: 'selectAll',
					selectorModifier: function () {
						return {
							page: 'current'
						};
					}
				},
				'selectNone'
			]
		}
	}
});
