Data Table

Data tables display sets of raw data. They usually appear in desktop enterprise products

Data Table Layout

Common Data Table layout could be treated as the following:

<div class="data-table">
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th class="label-cell">Desert (100g serving)</th>
        <th class="numeric-cell">Calories</th>
        ...
        <th class="tablet-only">Comment</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="label-cell">Frozen yogurt</td>
        <td class="numeric-cell">159</td>
        ...
        <td class="tablet-only">I like it!</td>
      </tr>
      ...
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

Within Card:

<div class="data-table card">
  <table>

Data Table App Methods

In case you add data table dynamically and you need such selecting rows or switching headers logic you need to init it manually. Let’s look at related app methods to work with data table:

app.dataTable.create(parameters)- create Data Table instance

parameters - object. Object with data table parameters

Method returns created Data Table’s instance

app.dataTable.destroy(el)- destroy Data Table instance

el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) or object. Data Table element or Data Table instance to destroy.

app.dataTable.get(el)- get Data Table instance by HTML element

el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Data Table element.

Method returns Data Table’s instance

Data Table Parameters

Now let’s look at list of available parameters we need to create Data Table:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
el	HTMLElement		Data Table element. Can be useful if you already have Data Table element in your HTML and want to create new instance using this element
