Topic: How to get search box at every column in datatable.

Shashank Tiwari free asked 5 years ago


How to get search box at every column in datatable. I have tried const data = { columns: [ { label: 'Name', field: 'name', sort: 'disabled',
searchable: true and even searching:true , width: 150 }] My table is working absolute fine . Just searchbox is not set at every column as I want that .

Hi Shashank. You need to do the following in your table initialisation:

$(document).ready(function() { // Setup - add a text input to each footer cell $('#example tfoot th').each( function () { var title = $('#example thead th').eq( $(this).index() ).text(); $(this).html( '' ); } );

// DataTable
var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
    colReorder: true
} );

// Apply the filter
$("#example tfoot input").on( 'keyup change', function () {
    table
        .column( $(this).parent().index()+':visible' )
        .search( this.value )
        .draw();
} );

} );

I think column filtering is a paid-for feature in mdbootstrap. But if you add the above code, it will work the same as the original Datatables implementation

HI @Shashank Tiwari,

Putting a search box in every column is not possible at this moment. Your search box is filtering whole data table data.

You can try to do it with your custom code in your project, but I can't help you with that.

Best, Kuba

Hi @Jakub Chmura, How can we add css to the search box??? Also can we have click option on each cell rather than whole row because i want to achieve different funtionality when clicked on individual cell.
