columns.searchBuilder.defaultCondition
Set a default condition for this column.
Please note - this property requires the SearchBuilder extension for DataTables.
Description
SearchBuilder uses this option to decide which option within the condition select should be initially selected when a user selects that column to filter. By default SearchBuilder will select the first item in the condition select, which is typically the condition title.
Types
number
When columns.searchBuilder.defaultCondition is set to a number it will select the option within the select at the corresponding index.
string
When columns.searchBuilder.defaultCondition is set to a string, it will select the option whose token is the same as this string. For example this will be "=", ">" etc. to avoid clashing with i18n changes.
Default
- Value:
undefined
The default value of columns.searchBuilder.defaultCondition is undefined. This means that by default the first option in the condition select will be selected.
Example
Set the condition to be '!=' for the third column:
new DataTable('#myTable', {
columnDefs: [
{
targets: 2,
searchBuilder: {
defaultCondition: '!='
}
}
],
layout: {
top1: 'searchBuilder'
}
