button.searchPanes

Enable SearchPanes through a button.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

When working with SearchPanes you will typically wish to configure SearchPanes options to customise either appearance or functionality.

By providing an config object buttons.buttons.config the SearchPanes within the button can be customised as desired. The config object is structured in the same way as the SearchPanes config Object is normally.

SearchPanes makes use of the following Buttons properties.

• buttons.buttons.text - This can be configured using the searchPanes.collapse option of the DataTables language object, or using the buttons.buttons.text option for this button.
• buttons.buttons.init - Initialises the SearchPanes.
• buttons.buttons.action - Displays the SearchPanes floating above the table with focus on them.
• buttons.buttons.config - Sets the config for SearchPanes in the same way as normal for the SearchPanes config.

Example

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		topStart: {
			buttons: [
				{
					extend: 'searchPanes',
					config: {
						cascadePanes: true
					}
				}
			]
		}
	}
});
