datatable search via data attributes

Topic: datatable search via data attributes

Pierre Grobbelaar pro premium priority asked 3 years ago

I use php to fetch mysqli data to dynamically populate the table. I want the search function to search table content through data attributes.

I cant get it to filter the data because I don't know how to activate the function. Please provide a generic example of the search function using data attributes instead of javascript. Mdb basic table example

Hi,

You just need to write this JS code

const instance = mdb.Datatable.getInstance(document.querySelector('.datatable'));

document.querySelector('#datatable-search-input').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
  instance.search(e.target.value);
});

Here is the snippet https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/d-wajszczuk/3532745#js-tab-view.

Keep coding,
Dawid
