language.thousands

Thousands separator.

Description

DataTables' built in number formatter (formatNumber) is used to format large numbers that are used in the table information. By default a comma is used, but this can be trivially changed to any other character you wish with this parameter, suitable for any locality, or set to an empty string if you do not which to have a thousands separator character.

Please note that unlike the language.decimal option, the thousands separator option is used for output of information only (specifically the info option). Changing it does not effect how DataTables reads numeric data.

Type

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

• string

Default

Example

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	language: {
		thousands: "'"
	}
});
