I'd like to filter the datatable rows by an array of ids and redraw the filtered table. However, I could not get it to work by any bination of rows(...).invalidate().data().draw(...).
Here is a toy example
The JS snippet to show the rows 1, 4, and 10:
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
console.log("hey");
table.rows([0, 3, 9]).draw();
})
} );
My expected output would be to see only those 3 rows but I still see the full table.
I was also thinking about an ID column that I wouldn't show but could use for searching purposes only by column(0).search(id_column in ids)

- The filtered table, i.e. only rows 1 to 4 – mnist Commented Apr 26, 2021 at 7:51
-
You could update the page-size with something like:
table.page.len(4).draw();– 0stone0 Commented Apr 26, 2021 at 7:58 - Okay, bad example then. Of yourse it could also be row 1, 4, and 4000 that I want to draw. – mnist Commented Apr 26, 2021 at 8:04

Reset to default 2- Use
table.data()to get the current data. - Apply a custom
filter()to get the desired rows. - Re-draw the data rows:
Updated Snippet:
$(document).ready( function () {
// Tabel
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
// On button click
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
// ALlowed id's
const myids = [ 1, 2, 3, 25 ];
// Filter existing rows
const filteted = table.data().filter((item, index) => myids.includes(index));
// Update data
table.clear();
table.rows.add(filteted).draw();
})
} );<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

</html>If you want to filter your data, then you can use column().search() to find the rows with your data:
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
table.column(2).search('London').draw();
})
} );
Here, the code would search all rows with data "London" in the second column and re-draw the table.
To filter based on row index, you can add a custom filter and filter your data table based on that.
var ids = [];
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function( settings, data, dataIndex ) {
if ($.inArray(dataIndex, ids) > -1) {
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
);
$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable(); // The table draws with full data.
// Update your array of indexes. This can be as a result of an ajax query or your custom logic. So next time the button is clicked, table would be redrawn with those rows excluded.
ids = [0,1,2,3];
$('#getData').on('click', function() {
table.draw();
});
} );
In the above code, you can update your array ids before redraw (in your case before the button is clicked).
