columns.columnControl

Since: ColumnControl 1.0

Specific ColumnControl configurations for columns.
Please note - this property requires the ColumnControl extension for DataTables.

Description

This option can take exactly the same values as columnControl. However, while that option is applied globally to all columns, this option will be applied only to whatever columns are targeted (columns or columnDefs).

It is important to be aware that if you specify column and global options for ColumnControl, the column specific options will overwrite the global ones for matching columns. The options are not merged.

Type

This option can be given in the following type(s):

object or array

Examples

Use searchDropdown in all column headers, except the final column (target: -1).:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
    columnControl: ['searchDropdown'],
    columnDefs: [{
        target: -1,
        columnControl: []
    }]
});

Create a search input in the second row of the header, but only for columns which have a class of search.:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
    columnDefs: [{
        target: '.search',
        columnControl: {
			target: 1,
			content: ['search']
		}
    }]
});
