buttons.buttons.enabled

Since: Buttons 1.0.0

Set a button's initial enabled state.
Please note - this property requires the Buttons extension for DataTables.

Description

This option provides the ability to set the initial enabled state of a button using a boolean value. It is most likely to be of use when using the API methods that can control the button's enabled state after initialisation:

buttons().enable() / button().enable()
buttons().disable() / button().disable()

Type

boolean

Description:

A boolean flag to indicate the initial enabled state of the button upon initialisation:

false - disabled
true - enabled

An undefined value is the same as true.

Default

Value: true

Examples

			{ extend: 'excel', enabled: false }
		]
	}
} );

Instance initialisation: Disable a button on initialisation:

new $.fn.dataTable.Buttons( table, {
	buttons: [
		'copy',
		{ extend: 'excel', enabled: false }
