TableTools

TableTools is a plug-in for the DataTables HTML table enhancer, which adds a highly customisable button toolbar to a DataTable. Key features include:

• Copy to clipboard
• Save table data as CSV, XLS or PDF files
• Print view for clean printing
• Row selection options
• Easy use predefined buttons
• Simple customisation of buttons
• Well defined API for advanced control

Installation

To use TableTools, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped TableTools package into a extensions directory in the DataTables package (in DataTables 1.9- use the extras directory). This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the examples directory in your web-browser.

Basic usage

TableTools is initialised using the T option that it adds to DataTables' dom option. For example:

$(document).ready( function () {
	$('#example').DataTable( {
		dom: 'T<"clear">lfrtip'
	} );
} );
