How to obtain data with search()

ajtkulov

Hi,

I need to calculate some aggregation functions (like, sum/mean/top-5) for each column.

For standard use case, I can get access to data by
$('#table').dataTable().api().data()

The question is: how to get data with search() method?
Mean, client applies filter in the search-inputbox. I'd like to get filtered data, represented as array/object/etc.

Thanks.

use the applied option on data rows

$('#table').dataTable().rows( { search: 'applied' } ).data();

this will give you the rows left after the search is applied.
