- When invalidating a DOM row, DataTables wasn't taking into account the
fact that the columns in the row might be hidden. This means that the
array of data read is shortened by the number of hidden columns, and
thus the data is corrupted.
- Fix is to read from the known cells if the row already exists
- Th old comma as a decimal place plug-in isn't needed anymore since
DataTables now has that ability built in using the `thousands` and
`decimal` options
- The piplining example didn't have any method to submit additional data
with the Ajax request, other than to modify the library function.
- This commit adds a `data` option which provides the same functionality
as the `ajax.data` option in DataTables - i.e. it can be an object or
function
and result set for the plural methods.
Fix: Row details events were itterating over non-DataTables rows
creating a Javascript error
Fix: Example - Server-side processing row details example updated to be
able to restore the details row on a redraw.
Update: Documentation - Most examples which used `flatten()` are more
correct to use the new `eq()` method, so they have been updated.
- This set of changes is based on the discussion in thread 19377. While
working on the fix, I realised that the use of flatten() is too broad,
so the new `eq()` function is introduced. It is similar to the jQuery
eq() method in that it reduces the instance to just the selected
index, although in DataTables this is both the context and the result
set. Its a small addition, but I think it will provide to be very
useful
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
- The jQueryUI option is depricated in 1.10 and will be removed in 1.11
to be replaced by style integration files int he same way that
Bootstrap and Foundation use. This helps to reduce the size of the
core for a feature that is no longer used that often, while also
ensureing that DataTables remains modular and supports many styling
libraries.
- As a result of this change, I want developers to be able to implement
1.10 without needing to use a depricated option, so this highlights
the newly added jQuery styling integration files from the plug-ins
repo.
