searchPanes.dataLength

Since: SearchPanes SearchPanes 1.0.0

Make use of ellipsis for a certain length of entry.
Please note - this property requires the SearchPanes extension for DataTables.

Description

This is useful as it prevents the searchPanes cells becoming mishapen and overpopulated when the table contains long strings.

Description:: Truncate options after searchPanes.dataLength characters and replace with ellipses ('...').

The default value for the searchPanes.dataLength option is 30, after 30 characters the cell will cut off the end and append with '...'.

Setting data length to a smaller value::

$('#example').DataTable( {
        searchPanes: {
            dataLength: 15
        },    
		dom: 'Pfrtip'
    });

Never truncate data:

$('#example').DataTable( {
        searchPanes: {
            dataLength: false
        },    
		dom: 'Pfrtip'
    });
