DataTables Events

gavin4p

Hi does datatables fire any events, for example when the visible result set changes via a user search or next page clicked?

Hi gavin4p,

At the moment no - DataTables uses callbacks for informing of status changes in the current model. This is something that I'm actively considering for future versions though, so all input welcome! I doubt I'll get it into 1.8, or if I do it's not going to be as complete as I would perhaps like - but I'll be seeing what I can do and what is suitable.

Regards,
Allan

Hi Allan

Thanks for your response, which callback should I use and how should I set it? I need a callback for every time the table has finished drawing, be it after a page change, sort change or search filter. I have tried the following:

$('#test').dataTable({
'sPaginationType': 'full_numbers',
'bLengthChange' : false,
'aoDrawCallback' : [{
"fn" : resizeModule,
"sName": "resizeModule"
}]
});

http://datatables.net/usage/callbacks#fnDrawCallback :-)

aoDrawCallback is an internal variable to which fnDrawCallback, as passed in, will be added.
