Angular module that provides a
datatable
directive along with datatable options helpers.
The required dependencies are:
- AngularJS (tested with version 1.3.0+)
- jQuery (tested with version 1.11.0)
- Datatables (tested with version 1.10+)
This module has been tested with the following datatables modules:
- ColReorder with version 1.1.0
- ColVis with version 1.1.0
- TableTools with version 2.2.0
This module also has a Twitter Bootstrap support (tested with version 3.1.1).
Manually
The files can be downloaded from:
The CSS file only contains
Twitter Bootstrap
styles to support datatables.
With Bower
bower install angular-datatables
Include the JS file in your index.html
file:
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="angular-datatables.min.js"></script>
IMPORTANT: You must include the JS in this order. AngularJS MUST use jQuery and not its jqLite!
If you want the Twitter Bootstrap
support, then add the CSS file:
<link href="datatables.bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Declare dependencies on your module app like this:
angular.module('myModule', ['datatables']);
See github page.
- RequireJS is not supported.
- A DataTable directive instance is created each time a DataTable is rendered. You can fetch it by calling the service
DTInstances.getLast()
to fetch the last instance orDTInstance.getList()
to fetch the entire list of instances.
For instance, for the given dataTables:
<table id="foobar" datatable dt-options="dtOptions" dt-columns="dtColumns"></table>
<table id="foobar2" datatable dt-options="dtOptions" dt-columns="dtColumns"></table>
You can fetch the instances like this:
DTInstances.getLast().then(function(lastDTInstance) {
// lastDTInstance === {"id": "foobar2", "DataTable": oTable, "dataTable": $oTable}
// loadedDT.DataTable is the DataTable API instance
// loadedDT.dataTable is the jQuery Object
// See http://datatables.net/manual/api#Accessing-the-API
});
DTInstances.getList().then(function(dtInstances) {
/*
* dtInstances === {
* "foobar": {"id": "foobar2", "DataTable": oTable, "dataTable": $oTable},
* "foobar2": {"id": "foobar2", "DataTable": oTable, "dataTable": $oTable}
* }
*/
});
For more information, please check the documentation.
-
Angular Datatables
is using Object.create() to instanciate options and columns.- If you need to support IE8, then you need to add this Polyfill.
-
When providing the DT options,
Angular DataTables
will resolve every promises (except the attributesdata
andaaData
) before rendering the DataTable.
For example, suppose we provide the following code:
angular.module('yourModule')
.controller('MyCtrl', MyCtrl);
function MyCtrl($q, DTOptionsBuilder) {
var vm = this;
vm.dtOptions = DTOptionBuilder.newOptions()
.withOptions('autoWidth', fnThatReturnsAPromise);
function fnThatReturnsAPromise() {
var defer = $q.defer();
defer.resolve(false);
return defer.promise;
}
}
The fnThatReturnsAPromise
will first be resolved and then the DataTable will be rendered with the option autoWidth
set to false
.
