columns.searchPanes.collapse

Since: SearchPanes 1.4.0

Allow the SearchPanes to be collapsed for specific columns.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

As standard, SearchPanes will be collapsible. A button is shown on the control row above the SearchPane table and the right most button toggles the state of the pane from being collapsed to expanded.

If this option is set to false the pane for this column will not be collapsible and the button will not be shown. It is possible to set this for all columns using the searchPanes.collapse option, and the SearchPanes can be initialised in the collapsed state by using the searchPanes.initCollapsed or columns.searchPanes.initCollapsed options.

Type

boolean

Description:: By setting the columns.searchPanes.collapse option to false the searchpane for this column will not be collapsible and the collapse button will not be shown at the top of the pane.

Default

Value: true

The default value for the columns.searchPanes.collapse parameter is true, meaning that as standard the searchpanes are all collapsible.

Example

Don't allow SearchPanes to be collapsible on a specific column:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		top1: 'searchPanes'
	},
	columnDefs: [
		{
			searchPanes: {
				collapse: false
			},
			targets: [1]
		}
	]
});
