- Have used :after for the information about what type of link it is -
this stops it from being included in a copy / paste which was annoying
- The postfix is a bit more informative than a letter about what
software it relates to
- With the move to the 1.10 API for all of the extensions, showing the
extension letter was redundent anyway
- Adding -button link type
- Improved the colours
New: `dt-api row().child.remove()` and `dt-api row().child().remove()` methods to provide the ability to remove and destroy child rows
Fix docs: Note that the row().child() method's return value can have an effect on the chaining
* This fixed DataTables/DataTables issue #326.
* Special thanks to `Scottmitch1` (on github) for help with this one!
DataTables which character is used as a decimal place in the table's
data, so that number which are formatted using characters other than a
dot as the decimal place can be correctly detected and sorted.
- A large part of the world uses the comma as a decimal place, so it
makes sense to have this option built-in directly to DataTables,
rather than needing to use plu-in sorting types as before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
- However, the decimal place character cannot be detected automatically
since there are far to many ambiguities. As such, a new
`language.decimal` option is defined which is passed through to the
type detection functions. The type detection functions can then use
that character to alter their detection functions to transform numbers
into the dot formatted equivilent for parsing in Javascript.
- The numeric sorting methods have been bundled together in the function
`_addNumericSort` which is called when a character is given for the
decimal mark, adding the sorting functions required specifically for
that mark. This means that any character at all can be added, while
keeping the table's sort performance as it was.
- Code size in increased a little for this new feature, but a lot of
work has been done to keep it to a minimum (while still optimising for
the most common use case of a dot decimal place), and this is a good
feature to have in DataTables' core code.
- All required documentation added and updated.
- Special thanks to Tobias Bäthge for suggesting and sponsoring this
feature.
- Added new orthogonal data example
- Updated columns.data and columns.render documentation
- Reordering the manual a little
- Add note to the old orthogonal data blog post to direct people to the
new manual page
- Showing and hiding details about a row in a child row is very useful
and proven to be a popular part of DataTables. This commit provides
that ability in the new API and extends it. It also fully modularises
the child rows aspects, so it could be removed from the core without
effecting any other aspects (it may be moved into a seperate file in
future).
- This will effectively replace fnOpen, fnClose and fnIsOpen
- Added methods:
- row( selector, opts ).child()
- row( selector, opts ).child( str, class )
- row( selector, opts ).child( str, class ).show()
- row( selector, opts ).child( str, class ).hide()
- row( selector, opts ).child.show()
- row( selector, opts ).child.hide()
- row( selector, opts ).child.isShown()
- Note that unlike the old API you need to specify the data first, and
then use the show() method to show the child row. This allows the
details rows to be configured before they are actually shown.
- Additionally multiple child rows can be attached to a parent (pass
`str` (from above) as an array to use this feature. API plug-ins could
use this ability to show fully nested tables.
- Not just a string can be passed in now, but also a TR node which will
actually be used (rather than put into a nested row), any other type
of node (which will be inserted into a wrapper row/cell) or a jQuery
object.
