如何将过滤器应用于特定数据表

Question

Is it possible to apply a certain filter to only one datatable? I have the following filter function that I am applying on document ready, I don't know if this is proper procedure, but as a side effect all dataTables will be affected by the filter. I would Like to affect only the $('#productTable'), but this selector appears to not have the desired effect.

//Filter Function in Stock 
//$('#productTable').
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(function(oSettings, aData, iDataIndex) {
    var checked = $('#instock').is(':checked');
    var qntStock = 1; 
    var stockCol = 3; 

    if (!checked) {
        return true;
    }
    if (checked && aData[stockCol] > qntStock) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
 });

Is it possible to apply a filter only to a particular table? How do I accomplish this?

EDIT:

dataTable initialization:

var oTable = $('#productTable').dataTable({
        "aoColumnDefs": [{
            "sClass": "my_class", 
            "aTargets": [4]
            }],
        "bAutoWidth": false,
        "iDisplayLength": 100,
        "fnDrawCallback": function() {
            $("td.my_class").editable(function(value, settings) 
            { 
                return(value);
            }, 
            {
                indicator : 'Save...',
                tooltip   : 'Click to Edit...'
            }
            );
        }
    });

Answer 1

You could create an array of tables to have the filter - then in your filter check if the current table is present in that array... something like:

// setup an array of the ids of tables that should be allowed
var allowFilter = ['productTable'];

$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(function(oSettings, aData, iDataIndex) {

    // check if current table is part of the allow list
    if ( $.inArray( oSettings.nTable.getAttribute('id'), allowFilter ) == -1 )
    {
       // if not table should be ignored
       return true;
    }
    var checked = $('#instock').is(':checked');
    var qntStock = 1; 
    var stockCol = 3; 

    if (!checked) {
        return true;
    }
    if (checked && aData[stockCol] > qntStock) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
});

Answer 2

you can do something like this: add a parameter to the configuration:

var oTable = $('#productTable').dataTable({
        "applyFilter":true,
        "aoColumnDefs": [{
            "sClass": "my_class", 
            "aTargets": [4]
            }],
        "bAutoWidth": false,
        "iDisplayLength": 100,
        "fnDrawCallback": function() {
            $("td.my_class").editable(function(value, settings) 
            { 
                return(value);
            }, 
            {
                indicator : 'Save...',
                tooltip   : 'Click to Edit...'
            }
            );
        }
    });

and then, verify if your filter is active:

//Filter Function in Stock 
//$('#productTable').
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(function(oSettings, aData, iDataIndex) {
    if(oSettings.applyFilter)
    {
        var checked = $('#instock').is(':checked');
        var qntStock = 1; 
        var stockCol = 3; 

        if (!checked) {
            return true;
        }
        if (checked && aData[stockCol] > qntStock) {
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
    else
        return true;
 });

Haven't tried, but how about something like this?

$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(
function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) {
        if ( oSettings.nTable == document.getElementById( 'productTable' )){
            var checked = $('#instock').is(':checked');
            var qntStock = 1; 
            var stockCol = 3; 

            if (!checked) {
                return true;
            }
            if (checked && aData[stockCol] > qntStock) {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
}
);

the idea came from this thread: 2 datatables & 2 filters on the same page

You can also try out my yadcf plugin for datatable , here its showcase url , its has 9 different types of filters + additional API functions that can help you load table pre filtered or add single filter for filtering multiple table and many other cool stuff..

Answer 4

It turns out filtering is global and indeed you have to filter the table element... it's quite disappointing.

Answer 5

This is what we do:

            var temporarilySetFilterFunctions = $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering;
            $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering = [function (settings, data, index) {
                // our filter function
            } ];

            this._table.dataTable().fnDraw(); // filter!

            $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering = temporarilySetFilterFunctions;

Basically store the existing filters in a TEMP variable and then revert it after we are done. Weird design descion on Allan's part to implement it like this. Ugly hack, but it works.

The following link will help in applying filter to data table. http://live.datatables.net/oyinin/3/edit#javascript,html

I have used it like this:

  drawTable = function (tableId, url,    stateEngineURL) {
        resUrl = url;
        sUrl = stateEngineURL;
        oTable = $('#' + tableId).dataTable({
            "bAutoWidth" : false,
            "bProcessing" : false,
            "bServerSide" : false,
            "sScrollY" : "150px",
            "bPaginate" : true,
            "bDeferRender" : true,
            "bScrollInfinite" : true,
            "bSortCellsTop" : true,
            "sAjaxSource" : url,
            "aoColumns" : [
                {
                    "mDataProp" : "clusterName"
                }, {
                    "mDataProp" : "type"
                }, {
                    "mDataProp" : "actions",
                    "bSortable": false
                }
            ],
            "fnServerData": function (sSource, aoData, fnCallback) {
                aoData.push({"name" : "REQUESTTYPE", "value" : "getCredentialResrcURL" });
                $.getJSON(sSource, aoData, function (json) {
                    fnCallback(json);
                });
            },
            "fnRowCallback" : function (nRow, aData) {
                onRowCallBack(nRow, aData);
            }
        });
        oTable.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(
                function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) {
                   if(aData.type=='OSS 5.x'){
                       return false;
                   }
                }
            );
        oTable.fnDraw();
