Text input filter not finding dynamically added rows.

nya13

So I manually added a new row node/element to my DataTable like this:

dataTable.row.add({ 'Column 1': 1, 'Column 2' }).draw();

But when I go and enter some text to filter the results, that new row is not found. Is there another method I need to call in order to update the DataTable?

Thats the proper way to add rows to the Datatable. However the syntax you have seems incorrect Column 2 doesn't have a value. Likely a copy / paste error.

I built a test case to show this works:

Click the Add Row button then type aaa in the search input.

If this doens't help then pleaser provide a test case showing the issue so we can help debug.

ok, thank you for the clear test example. I shall find out where in my side that is preventing the filter from working like it should.

If you are using server side processing, ie serverSide: true, then row.add() won't work as it is a client side processing function. With server side processing you will need to add the row to the database to have it displayed and searchable by Datatables.
