How to get values of multi selected rows

kaustubh.agrawal2000

Hello,

I have a datatable created like below..

I am using select 1.2.3 plugin and I am able to select multiple rows.. but when I am trying to get the data of selected row
it only returns the first row data and not of all the rows..

       receiptTable = $('#receiptModalTable').DataTable( {
            dom:  "RBt",
            ajax: base_url + 'api/partyreceipt?' + $.param(_params), 
            idSrc:  'receipt_id',
            select: {
                style: 'multi'
            },
            autoWidth: false,
            columns: [
                { data: "dispatch.parent_id" },
                { data: "receipt_id" },
                { data: "dispatch.dispatch_id"},
                { data: "receipt_date"},
                { data: "delivered_weight"},
            ],
            buttons: [
                {
                    text: 'Use Selected Receipts',
                    action: function ( e, dt, node, config) {
                        var data = receiptTable.row('.selected');
                        console.log(data);
                            //var receiptId = data['receipt_id'];
                        //editor.field('purchase_parent_id').val(receiptId);
                        //editor.field('dispatch.dispatch_id').val(data['dispatch']['dispatch_id']);

                        //$('#receiptModal').modal('hide');
                    }
                }
            ]
        });

There is no documentation related to getting data for all the rows..

Kindly help..

This example shows how to get multiple rows:
https://datatables.net/extensions/select/examples/api/get.html

You need to use the plural version of rows.
var data = receiptTable.rows({ selected: true });

Hi Kevin.. that works for only single row selects..
What I needed was user should be able to select multiple rows and when he clicks a button .. data for all the selected rows should be available...

I gave up and used the following plugin..

Hope this helps someone..

Are you sure that you are using rows() rather than row()?

The example Kevin linked to shows that working (i.e. it gets multiple rows).

Sorry.. I missed the rows....

Thanks Kevin and Allan.
