Topic: Table Not Displaying Correctly

oak22424 priority asked 2 weeks ago


Expected behavior

the bottom of the table should look like this in terms of formatting.

enter image description here

Actual behavior

For some reason the pagination stops at column 1 and does not extend over to all 4 columns and there is no line under the remaining 3 columns either.

enter image description here

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) Current JS code that populates this table:

const customDatatable = document.getElementById('datatable-custom');

const headers = ['Customer', 'Name', 'Phone', 'Email'];

let table = document.createElement('table'); table.className = 'table';

// Create placeholder rows const tbody = document.createElement('tbody'); const numPlaceholderRows = 7; for (let i = 0; i < numPlaceholderRows; i++) { const placeholderRow = document.createElement('tr'); headers.forEach(() => { const placeholderCell = document.createElement('td'); placeholderCell.innerHTML = ''; placeholderRow.appendChild(placeholderCell); }); tbody.appendChild(placeholderRow); } table.appendChild(tbody);

customDatatable.appendChild(table);

// Fetch and populate data from Firestore const customersRef = collection(db, "BCD_P22_Customers"); getDocs(customersRef) .then((snapshot) => { tbody.innerHTML = ''; // Clear placeholder rows

const customerData = snapshot.docs.map(doc => ({
  customer: doc.data().CONCAT_Name_No || "no data",
  name: doc.data().Contact || "no data",
  phone: doc.data().Phone_No || "no data",
  email: doc.data().Country_Region_Code || "no data"
}));

if (window.datatableInstance) {
  window.datatableInstance.destroy();
}

// Initialize the DataTable with new options
window.datatableInstance = new mdb.Datatable(table, {
  columns: headers.map(header => ({ label: header, field: header.toLowerCase() })),
  rows: customerData
});

document.getElementById('datatable-search-input').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
  window.datatableInstance.search(e.target.value);
});

}) .catch((error) => { console.error("Error fetching data:", error); });

Please create snippet that recreate all of this but provide mock data to recreate the result you get.

As of now I can only tell you that we use dispose method. With destroy you do not remove instance of datatable.
