Sometimes require to show and hide HTML table columns dynamically.
You can easily hide a column using CSS nth-child selector. But with dataTables it not works properly.
DataTables already provided a method for this.
In this tutorial, I show how you can dynamically show and hide multiple columns in DataTables.
DataTables by default comes with a search filter that can be used to search on all fields or specific fields and display records.
Sometimes, require to add the filter for the particular field only like – adding date range filter, country filter, etc.
DataTables allow for passing data that can read at the server-side script.
In this tutorial, I show how you can add a custom search filter and get records using DataTables in CodeIgniter 3.
DataTables makes pagination implementation easier.
For allowing searching it adds a search box and also adds an up & down arrow on the column header for sorting.
By default, sorting has been added to all columns.
This can remove from a column where it is not required with the columnDefs option while initializing.
