清除搜索过滤器后，重置pimefaces数据表

Question

I have a primefaces datatable where the search filter bar is shown and hidden on the click of a button. The below javascript is being used to do the same :

function filters() {
var filterRow = $(".ui-filter-row");
if (filterRow.is(":visible")) {
$(".ui-column-external-filter").val('');
$(".ui-filter-row").hide();
} else {
$(".ui-filter-row").show();
}
}
When I am hiding the search filter bar, I am also clearing the text entered in the filter:

$(".ui-column-external-filter").val('');

But the datatable also should get reset or updated when the text in the filter is cleared. How do I achieve that?

Answer 1

How are filtering your data because in primefaces. If you refer showcase here . It is way more easy to perform.

1. oncomplete='datatablewidgetvar.filter();' . To perform filtering on the datatable.

2. To clear filtering you can use oncomplete='datatablewidgetvar.clearFilters();' . You have to write and ajax request or some sort of event which will catch that your filters are hidden and then call widgetvar.clearFilters().
