DataTables buttons-option not supportet?

Datatables-buttons don't need anything special from MDB to work out of the box. Here's how I have it set up on our control panel:

import pdfMake from 'pdfmake/build/pdfmake';
import pdfFonts from 'pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts';
import 'datatables.net';
import 'datatables.net-buttons';
import 'datatables.net-buttons-bs4';
import '../node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.html5';
import '../node_modules/datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.print';
import * as JSZip from 'jszip';

pdfMake.vfs = pdfFonts.pdfMake.vfs;
window.JSZip = JSZip;

const $table = $('#myTableWithButtons').DataTable({
  dom: 'Bfrtip',
  buttons: [
    {
      extend: 'csv',
      className: 'btn-mdb-color mr-2',
    },
    {
      extend: 'pdf',
      className: 'btn-mdb-color mr-2',
    },
    {
      extend: 'print',
      className: 'btn-mdb-color mr-2',
    },
  ],
});

Do you have a timeframe for this? Thank you.

Using your solution as a base I got the jquery version to work by replacing the datatables.js that comes with MDB Pro. I used a copy downloaded from datatables.net which included the necessary code for the buttons. I didn't replace the CSS as everything required is in the MDB CSS files.

All that is needed then is to set the options when calling the function.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample').DataTable({
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'csv',
                className: 'btn btn-outline btn-sm',
                text: 'Save to CSV',
            },
            {
                extend: 'excel',
                className: 'btn btn-outline btn-sm',
                text: 'Save to Excel',
            },
            {
                extend: 'print',
                className: 'btn btn-outline btn-sm',
                text: 'Print Table',
            },
            {
                extend: 'pdf',
                className: 'btn btn-outline btn-sm',
                text: 'Save to PDF',
                orientation: 'landscape',
                pageSize: 'A4'
            },
            {
                extend: 'copy',
                className: 'btn btn-outline btn-sm',
                text: 'Copy to clipboard',
            }
        ]
    });
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper').find('label').each(function () {
        $(this).parent().append($(this).children());
    });
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_filter').find('input').each(function () {
        $('input').attr("placeholder", "Search");
        $('input').removeClass('form-control-sm');
    });
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_length').addClass('d-flex flex-row');
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_filter').addClass('md-form');
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper select').removeClass('custom-select custom-select-sm form-control form-control-sm');
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper select').addClass('mdb-select');
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .mdb-select').material_select();
    $('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_filter').find('label').remove();
});

This approach breaks the number of entries per page selector though.

Yes, we know that. We have a task for that to check it and implement it. MDB styles not connected with datatables buttons csv, pdf, excel . We didn't included tihs to our package yet but if you are including datatables script like :

  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.36/pdfmake.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.36/vfs_fonts.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/jszip-2.5.0/dt-1.10.18/b-1.5.4/b-colvis-1.5.4/b-flash-1.5.4/b-html5-1.5.4/b-print-1.5.4/datatables.min.js"></script>

and style like

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/jszip-2.5.0/dt-1.10.18/b-1.5.4/b-colvis-1.5.4/b-flash-1.5.4/b-html5-1.5.4/b-print-1.5.4/datatables.min.css" />

Buttons will work but styling is bad. How I said.

Hello,
I think this is not still available in our packages. You probably have to add javascript code with buttons for your own.

Best,
