DataTables

DataTables is a plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library. It is a highly flexible tool, built upon the foundations of progressive enhancement, that adds all of these advanced features to any HTML table.
Read the official DataTables for a full list of instructions and other options.


Basic DataTable

Here you can find basic dataTable with filter, pagination, Length Changing, information, etc.. We have added a button to Add new record in the table. You can find details in the example below :

You need to install buttons and other export extensions to use the buttons as we have displayed in this table.

We are providing Add new record functionality but this won't be useful to add record into the database, API, etc. We are fetching the data and drawing the record with fetched data. So you have to integrate add new record things as per your requirements. To remove this functionality of this template, you need to remove JS code from tables-datatables-basic.js file.

To fix datatables dropdown hide issue

If your table contains a limited number of records and you're facing a vertical scrollbar issue upon dropdown opening, consider removing the table-responsive class with card-datatables class instead to present the dropdown without a scrollbar.

Please keep in mind that this solution might not be compatible with the responsive modal script of datatables.
