columns.searchPanes.combiner

Since: SearchPanes SearchPanes 1.0.0

Set the type of logic to be implemented on the pane.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

As standard, SearchPanes will use OR logic when multiple selections have been made. However at times it may be desirable to implement AND logic instead, for example to eliminate rows from the dataset.

Note: When using columns.searchPanes.combiner along with searchPanes.cascadePanes you must make sure that your data is appropriate for the selection that you make. searchPanes.cascadePanes was developed with the default or logic in mind, using and logic will work in the majority of cases, but may yield some unexpected results when deselecting in a very small amount of cases.

Type

string

Description:: By setting the columns.searchPanes.combiner option to and when searching, the pane will apply AND logic rather than the default OR Logic.

Default

Value: or

The default value for the columns.searchPanes.combiner parameter is or, meaning that as standard the pane will search using OR logic.

Examples

Set the Combiner Option to and Logic:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable({
        dom: 'Plfrtip',
        columnDefs: [
            {
                searchPanes: {
                    combiner: 'and'
                },
                targets: [4]
            }
        ]
    });
});

Using the combiner option to eliminate rows:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var dt = $('#example').DataTable({
        dom: 'Plfrtip',
        columnDefs: [ 
            {
                searchPanes: {
                    options: [
                        {
                            label: 'Not Edinburgh',
                            value: function(rowData, rowIdx) {
                                return rowData[3] !== 'Edinburgh';
                            }
                        },
                        {
                            label: 'Not London',
                            value: function(rowData, rowIdx) {
                                return rowData[3] !== 'London';
                            }
                        }
                    ],
                    combiner: 'and'
                },
                targets: [3]
            }
        ],
        select: {
			style:    'os',
			selector: 'td:first-child'
		},
		order: [[ 1, 'asc' ]]
    });
});
