Simple-DataTables

A lightweight, extendable, dependency-free javascript HTML table plugin. Similar to jQuery DataTables for use in modern browsers, but without the jQuery dependency. Note: If you want a version that works in very old browsers (IE, etc.), then head over to https://github.com/fiduswriter/Simple-DataTables-classic .

Based on Vanilla-DataTables, but written in ES2018.

See the demos here.

npm

npm install simple-datatables --save

Yarn

yarn add simple-datatables

Quick Start

Then just initialise the plugin by import DataTable and either passing a reference to the table or a CSS3 selector string as the first parameter:

import {DataTable} from "simple-datatables"

const myTable = document.querySelector("#myTable");
const dataTable = new DataTable(myTable);

// or

const dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable");

You can also pass the options object as the second paramater:

import {DataTable} from "simple-datatables"

const dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable", {
	searchable: false,
	fixedHeight: true,
	...
})

If using the CDN:

const dataTable = new simpleDatatables.DataTable("#myTable", {
	searchable: false,
	fixedHeight: true,
	...
})
