Conditional formatting using rowCallback

Conditional formatting using rowCallback

Hi

I want to color a cell based on it's value. All the sources recommend me to use rowCallback function but for some reason I can't get it working. I'm new to JQuery so maybe there is something really easy I'm missing.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var dt_table = $('#tbl_koond').dataTable({

        language: dt_language,  // global variable defined in html
        aaSorting: [[ 5, "desc" ]],
        lengthMenu: [[25, 50, 100, 200], [25, 50, 100, 200]],
        columnDefs: [
            {orderable: true,
             searchable: true,
             className: "left",
             targets: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo1',
                targets: [0]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo2',
                targets: [1]
            },
            {   data: 'foo3',
                targets:[2],
                render: function ( data, type, row, meta ) {
                    if(type === 'display'){
                        data = '<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/firma/' + encodeURIComponent(data) + '">' + data + '</a>';
                    }

                    return data;
            }
            },
            {
                data: 'foo4',
                targets: [3]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo5',
                targets: [4]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo6',
                targets: [5]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo7',
                targets: [6]
            },
            {
                data: 'foo8',
                targets: [7],
                    render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) }
            },
            {
                data: 'foo9',
                targets: [8],
                    render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) }

            },
            {
                data: 'foo10',
                targets: [9],
                    render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) }

            },
            {
                data: 'foo11',
                targets: [10],
                    render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) }
            },
            {
                data: 'foo12',
                targets: [11],
                    render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) }
            },
            {
                data: 'foo13',
                targets: [12],
                render(data){
                        return Number(data).toFixed(0) },
            }
        ],

        rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
            if (data[12] == 100) {
                $("td:eq(12)", row).css('background-color','#99ff9c')
            }
        },

        searching: true,
        processing: true,
        serverSide: true,
        stateSave: true,
        ajax: TESTMODEL_LIST_JSON_URL,


    });
});

    Your rowCallback looks like it should work. Without seeing it with your data its hard to say if the if statement is ever true. Please provide a link to your page or a test case representing your data so we can take a look. Or you can use some console.log statements to try debugging. Something like this to start:

            rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
                console.log( data[12] );
                if (data[12] == 100) {
                    console.log('data[12] == 100');
                    $("td:eq(12)", row).css('background-color','#99ff9c')
                }
            },
    

    Or you can try something less restrictive in your if statement to make sure it is true for one or more rows.

    Actually you probably will need to use the same Number(data).toFixed(0) in your if statement, something like this: if (Number(data[12]).toFixed(0) == 100) {....

    If I use console.log statement like this, I see the actual data passed to this column:

                {
                    data: 'rule_result',
                    targets: [12],
                    render(data){
                        console.log(Number(data));
                            return Number(data).toFixed(0) }
                }
    

    console.log results:
    50.1262703158
    50.0917736059
    50.1165706664
    51.0554469872
    58.2240238596
    11.5990452766
    100

    But if I use logging inside callback function, it doesn't return anything. It seems like function is not called at all.

            rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
                console.log(Number(data[12]));
                    if (Number(data[12]).toFixed(0) > 10) {
                        $("td:eq(12)", row).css('background-color','#99ff9c')
                }
    

    console.log results:
    25 NaN

    Everything looks the same like in your example but it seems like there is no data passing through the function.

    What do you see if you console.log the raw data, for example:

    rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
        console.log( data[12] );
    .....

    rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
                console.log( data[12] );
                    if (Number(data[12]).toFixed(0) > 10) {
                        $("td:eq(0)", row).css('background-color','#99ff9c')
                }
    

    Result:

  • kthorngrenkthorngren Posts: 21,327Questions: 26Answers: 4,949

    It might be the data: 'foo13',:

                {
                    data: 'foo13',
                    targets: [12],
                    render(data){
                            return Number(data).toFixed(0) },
                }
    

    Try removing it to see what happens. It appears your source data is arrays not objects. I added a columns.data option to my example and get teh same result of undefined:

    If I remove data: 'foo13', all column values turn to 0.

    @taavip We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

    Cheers,

    Colin

    Answer ✓

    If I remove data: 'foo13', all column values turn to 0.

    Ok, then you will need to access the data using object notation, for example:

    rowCallback: function (row, data, index) {
                    if (Number(data.foo13).toFixed(0) > 10) {
                        $("td:eq(0)", row).css('background-color','#99ff9c')
                }
    

    If this doesn't help then please post a test case as Colin asked.

    It worked! Thank you so much for the help. I thought I already tried it but I guess the condition was not met.
