Add rows

New rows can be added to a DataTable very easily using the ( row.add() ) API method. Simply call the API function with the data that is to be used for the new row (be it an array or object). Multiple rows can be added using the ( rows.add() ) method (note the plural). Data can be likewise be updated with the ( row().data() and row().remove() methods. )

Individual column searching (text inputs)

The searching functionality that is provided by DataTables is very useful for quickly search through the information in the table - however the search is global, and you may wish to present controls to search on specific columns only. DataTables has the ability to apply searching to a specific column through the column().search() method (note that the name of the method is search not filter since filter() is used to apply a filter to a result set).

Individual column searching (select inputs)

This example is almost identical to text based individual column example and provides the same functionality, but in this case using select input controls. After the table is initialised, the API is used to build the select inputs through the use of the column().data() method to get the data for each column in turn. The helper methods unique() and sort() are also used to reduce the data for set input to unique and ordered elements. Finally the change event from the select input is used to trigger a column search using the column().search() method.

Child rows (show extra / detailed information)

The DataTables API has a number of methods available for attaching child rows to a parent row in the DataTable. This can be used to show additional information about a row, useful for cases where you wish to convey more information about a row than there is space for in the host table.

Row selection (multiple rows)

It can be quite useful at times to provide the user with the option to select rows in a DataTable. This can be done by simply using a click event to add / remove a class on the table rows. The rows().data() method can then be used to get the data for the selected rows. In this case it is simply counting the number of selected rows, but much more complex interactions can easily be developed.

Row selection and deletion (single row)

This example shows a modification of the multiple row selection example, where just a single can now be selected. This is done simply by checking to see if the row already has a selected class or not, and if so removing it, if not then the class is removed from any other row in the table which does have it and applied to the row to be selected.

Form inputs

In order to perform paging, ordering, searching etc, DataTables can remove rows and cells from the document (i.e. those rows / cells which are not needed are not inserted into the document). This increases performance and compatibility, however, it means that submitting forms which span multiple pages requires a little bit of additional work to get the information that is not in the document any longer.

Note also that you must call the draw() method after performing the search, in order for the results to be displayed.
