'Is there a way of grouping rows together as parent/children with show/hide in Datatables.js without using custom JavaScript?
I am using datatables.js (version 1.10.25) to create a table in my CMS. My issue is that I am showing/hiding some of the rows of the table under a heading row using jQuery and this breaks the sorting of the table.
Is there a way of grouping rows together as parent/children with show/hide in datatables.js without using custom JavaScript?
Solution 1:[1]
Yes, here are two options:
Option 1, Datatables Row grouping, it does not allow to hide/show children in groups (or at least I think).
Option 2, Datatables Child rows, the same but it allows to hide/show children in groups.
Always use plugins whenever you can, don't reinvent the wheel ^^
