Notes

  • The option names are actually used as HTML5 data attributes, so they must be formatted with hyphens-and-lower-case instead of camelCase (see https://datatables.net/manual/options#HTML-5-data-attributes).
  • Do not prepend option names with data-. The prefix will be added by the plugin.
  • Complex option values must be specified using valid JSON, wrapped with single quotes '. For example: order='[[0, "asc"]]' or search='{"search":"fred"}'.

The plugin also implements extra features beyond the options from DataTables jQuery library.

Option Description Allowed values Default value
header-rows Makes sure the table header contains at least the specified number of rows, so that it can be formatted by DataTables. It transfers the first rows of the table body into the table header if necessary. Particularly useful when formatting tables generated by other plugins, which may not have created a proper table header. integer 0 (no effect)
Attribute Example
Fixed Header fixed-header fixed-header=“true” or fixed-header='{ “header”: true, “headerOffset”: 50 }'
Fixed Columns fixed-columns fixed-columns=“true”
Responsive responsive responsive=“true”
Buttons buttons buttons='[ “copy”, “csv”, “print” ]'
