Custom buttons

Option wpda_buttons_custom allows plugin users to add standard and custom buttons to a data table. The following advanced settings adds three buttons to my data table. A custom button calling a custom function and two standard buttons with custom labels. The inline demo below shows the result.

{
	"dom": "Bfrtip",
	"wpda_buttons_custom": [
		{
			"text": "Custom Button",
			"action": "function ( e, dt, node, config ) { alert('call your own javascript function here'); }"
		},
		{
			"text": "Print selected rows",
			"extend": "print"
		},
		{
			"text": "Export to CSV",
			"extend": "csv"
		}
	]
}
