jquery - How to search and filter which table columns are displayed -


i have data table has 100+ columns:

  • california - los angeles
  • california - sf
  • illinois - chicago
  • texas - austin
  • texas - houston
    ..... etc

how can create search input field allows me filter columns being shown? i'm thinking similar this.

except instead of searching & filtering table rows, want filter & search table columns. if full search text found in of columns, display columns.

for example, if search text "cal", "california - los angeles" , "california - sf" columns visible. if search text "t", column letter 't' in displayed.

you can make use of columns().visible() api method set column visibility.

see example below code, comments , demonstration.

$(document).ready(function() {       var headers = {};       $('#example')        .on('init.dt', function () {           // enumerate headings once           $('#example').datatable().columns().every( function (){              // store heading              headers[this.index()] = $(this.header()).text().tolowercase();           });        });           // create table     $('#example').datatable({        "searching": false     });          $('#table-filter').on('keyup', function () {        var query = this.value.tolowercase();               if(query !== ""){           // enumerate headings           for(index in headers){              if(headers.hasownproperty(index)){                 // if query not part of heading                 if(headers[index].indexof(query) == -1){                    // hide column                    $('#example').datatable().column(index).visible(false, false);                                } else {                    // show column                    $('#example').datatable().column(index).visible(true, false);                 }              }           }             // redraw table           $('#example').datatable().columns.adjust().draw(false);          // otherwise, if query empty        } else {           // show columns           $('#example').datatable().columns().visible(true, false);          }     });  });
