When we add a custom filter to DataTables:
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(function(settings, data, dataIndex)
...
)
it works as expected on one table. However, if we have multiple tables on the same page, all filters affects all tables. How to create custom filters that only affect a specific table?

Yes, I have over the time posted similar answers as well :) This question came out of comments to several already answered questions today; again a user was confused so I decided to find a more robust solution that works without the "is this the right table"-overhead in the filters. The overhead makes it ugly and hard to maintain, and you cannot just copy paste filters. So +1 to you, but I think I finally have found a more elegant way. Besides that, this is caused by very poor design in DT, we should never need to do hacks like this in the first place :)

I would, without a doubt, mark yours as an answer if I was the OP I know you will have to wait 2 days to mark yours. The solution is so clean and easy to understand. I don't need to hunt for specific code to remove it, just pop it! Yes, DataTables could have handled it better, but it is good at least we have an option to come up with a hack.

:) this anwer is what I was most inspired by.settings.nTable.id !== 'example'is pretty simple imo, don't need to modify how datatables works. I just didn't know before that settings had this nTable and id which you could check/compare against. Overall I think DataTables is pretty capable once you're more familiar... but I think some more common use-cases should have more examples.

@mmcrae, you are actually right, I guess. If you just have one or two filters, then perhaps it is more logical that the filter itself decides what table it should target. I was thinking many filters and reuseability. Anything I can reuse is to me a gain,, a good filter could be used over and over.

All custom filters works globally because $.fn.dataTable.ext.search is a global array any DataTable on a page takes into consideration when they are redrawn. There is no way around it, it is simply how DT is designed.
However, by using DT's plug-in architecture and simply hook into the relevant events, it is easy to replace the global array with local custom filters when needed, if any :
$.fn.dataTable.Api.register('filter.push', function(fn, draw)
if (!this.__customFilters)
var filters = this.__customFilters = []
this.on('mousedown preDraw.dt', function()
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search = filters
)
this.__customFilters.push(fn)
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search = this.__customFilters
this.draw()
)
$.fn.dataTable.Api.register('filter.pop', function()
if (!this.__customFilters) return
this.__customFilters.pop()
)
Thats it. Now, if you have a page with multiple DataTables, and you want a custom filter to work for one specific table only :
table.filter.push(function(settings, data, dataIndex)
...
)
If you want to remove the filter table.filter.pop()
Here is a demo with three tables on the same page, each of them having their own custom filter implemented -> http://jsfiddle.net/gc4ow8yr/

var detailDT = $("#staging-detail-table").DataTable();
var selectedHeaderId = $(...).click...
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function (settings, searchData, dataIndex, rowData)
// This is a global call-back, so check what table is getting sent thru
// for different search logic.
// This is triggered any time any table is re-drawn.
// Detail grid
if (settings.nTable.id == "staging-detail-table")
if (!selectedHeaderId)
// no header was selected. show everything
return true;
else
var $trDetailDT = $(detailDT.row(dataIndex).node());
var headerId = $trDetailDT.data("headerid");
return selectedHeaderId == headerId;
return true; // it wasnot the staging data table. Don't filter/limit.
)
detailDT is a reference to the DataTable I want to filter.
selectedHeaderId is the value I want to filter by - would have been set by some other jQuery user interaction etc. before calling detailDT.draw() which triggers the search.
Key part is calling settings.nTable.id == "staging-detail-table" which checks the HTML id of the data table, so you can apply filtering to the id you want.

Yes, I have over the time posted similar answers as well :) This question came out of comments to several already answered questions today; again a user was confused so I decided to find a more robust solution that works without the "is this the right table"-overhead in the filters. The overhead makes it ugly and hard to maintain, and you cannot just copy paste filters. So +1 to you, but I think I finally have found a more elegant way. Besides that, this is caused by very poor design in DT, we should never need to do hacks like this in the first place :)

I would, without a doubt, mark yours as an answer if I was the OP I know you will have to wait 2 days to mark yours. The solution is so clean and easy to understand. I don't need to hunt for specific code to remove it, just pop it! Yes, DataTables could have handled it better, but it is good at least we have an option to come up with a hack.

:) this anwer is what I was most inspired by.settings.nTable.id !== 'example'is pretty simple imo, don't need to modify how datatables works. I just didn't know before that settings had this nTable and id which you could check/compare against. Overall I think DataTables is pretty capable once you're more familiar... but I think some more common use-cases should have more examples.
– Don Cheadle

@mmcrae, you are actually right, I guess. If you just have one or two filters, then perhaps it is more logical that the filter itself decides what table it should target. I was thinking many filters and reuseability. Anything I can reuse is to me a gain,, a good filter could be used over and over.

@davidkonrad btw I posted an answer, that I think sums of a few good ideas, to this related/popular question stackoverflow.com/questions/31458060/…

In your custom filter, check for settings.nTable.id and take action if the id matches the id of your table.

/* Custom filtering function which will search data in column four between two values */
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function( settings, data, dataIndex )
( isNaN( min ) && age <= max )
);
/* Custom filtering function which will search data in column four between two values */

);
var table2 = $('#example2').DataTable(
dom: 'tir'
);
// Event listener to the two range filtering inputs to redraw on input
$('#min, #max').keyup( function()

I just didn't know before that settings had this nTable and id which you could check/compare against. Overall I think DataTables is pretty capable once you're more familiar... but I think some more common use-cases should have more examples.

@mmcrae, you are actually right, I guess. If you just have one or two filters, then perhaps it is more logical that the filter itself decides what table it should target. I was thinking many filters and reuseability. Anything I can reuse is to me a gain,, a good filter could be used over and over.

In your custom filter, check for settings.nTable.id and take action if the id matches the id of your table.

Yes, I have over the time posted similar answers as well :) This question came out of comments to several already answered questions today; again a user was confused so I decided to find a more robust solution that works without the "is this the right table"-overhead in the filters. The overhead makes it ugly and hard to maintain, and you cannot just copy paste filters. So +1 to you, but I think I finally have found a more elegant way. Besides that, this is caused by very poor design in DT, we should never need to do hacks like this in the first place :)

I would, without a doubt, mark yours as an answer if I was the OP I know you will have to wait 2 days to mark yours. The solution is so clean and easy to understand. I don't need to hunt for specific code to remove it, just pop it! Yes, DataTables could have handled it better, but it is good at least we have an option to come up with a hack.

:) this anwer is what I was most inspired by.settings.nTable.id !== 'example'is pretty simple imo, don't need to modify how datatables works. I just didn't know before that settings had this nTable and id which you could check/compare against. Overall I think DataTables is pretty capable once you're more familiar... but I think some more common use-cases should have more examples.

@mmcrae, you are actually right, I guess. If you just have one or two filters, then perhaps it is more logical that the filter itself decides what table it should target. I was thinking many filters and reuseability. Anything I can reuse is to me a gain,, a good filter could be used over and over.

All custom filters works globally because $.fn.dataTable.ext.search is a global array any DataTable on a page takes into consideration when they are redrawn. There is no way around it, it is simply how DT is designed.
However, by using DT's plug-in architecture and simply hook into the relevant events, it is easy to replace the global array with local custom filters when needed, if any :
$.fn.dataTable.Api.register('filter.push', function(fn, draw)
if (!this.__customFilters)
var filters = this.__customFilters = []
this.on('mousedown preDraw.dt', function()
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search = filters
)
this.__customFilters.push(fn)
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search = this.__customFilters
this.draw()
)
$.fn.dataTable.Api.register('filter.pop', function()
if (!this.__customFilters) return
this.__customFilters.pop()
)
Thats it. Now, if you have a page with multiple DataTables, and you want a custom filter to work for one specific table only :
table.filter.push(function(settings, data, dataIndex)
...
)
If you want to remove the filter table.filter.pop()
Here is a demo with three tables on the same page, each of them having their own custom filter implemented -> http://jsfiddle.net/gc4ow8yr/

var detailDT = $("#staging-detail-table").DataTable();
var selectedHeaderId = $(...).click...
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function (settings, searchData, dataIndex, rowData)
// This is a global call-back, so check what table is getting sent thru
// for different search logic.
// This is triggered any time any table is re-drawn.
// Detail grid
if (settings.nTable.id == "staging-detail-table")
if (!selectedHeaderId)
// no header was selected. show everything
return true;
else
var $trDetailDT = $(detailDT.row(dataIndex).node());
var headerId = $trDetailDT.data("headerid");
return selectedHeaderId == headerId;
return true; // it wasnot the staging data table. Don't filter/limit.
)
detailDT is a reference to the DataTable I want to filter.
selectedHeaderId is the value I want to filter by - would have been set by some other jQuery user interaction etc. before calling detailDT.draw() which triggers the search.
Key part is calling settings.nTable.id == "staging-detail-table" which checks the HTML id of the data table, so you can apply filtering to the id you want.
