Determining wich row was checked MD Datatable

Topic: Determining wich row was checked MD Datatable

marco.carrillo free asked 5 years ago

Background and question I am using one of the templates provided in your webpage, which is fantastic by the way. It works well, I have been able to replicate all of the functionality. What I need to find out, is once a user has selected a row, how do I know which row, or index has been selected?
Thank you.

Please insert min. 20 characters.

Try something like this:

var table = $('#myDataTable').DataTable({/* your initialization stuff*/});

$selected_rows = table.rows({selected:true});
$selected_row_nodes = table.rows({selected:true}).nodes()

// same for rows in search filter
$found_rows = table.rows({'search':'applied'});
$found_rows_nodes = table.rows({'search':'applied'}).nodes();

// do something for each selected rows
table.rows({selected:true}).nodes().each(function(){
    // $(this) = 'tr' element of current row
});

P.S.: if you want to add custom functionality to datatables I recommend to read the official datatable documentation instead of the few samples here at mdb. Also you have more access to the datatable if you append select: "api" to the datatable initialization. You might need to get the rows tr with row.node() depending on what you want to do...

You right. You can find more advanced config on the official docs. @lemons, good solution.

Best,

Thanks, I prefer to work with the offical docs and use the build in methods as it gives more freedom when interacting a lot with the tables, especially because of pagination. Anyhow one has to read the the docs, when e.g. trying to sort non ISO8601 date formats, implementing data-range filters, export to excel/pdf, adding a multiselect as filter, etc.

Hi @marco.carrillo,

You can try to use jQuery to find elements with .selected class.

const slected = $('#tabID').find('.selected');

Best,
