Utilizing the power of basic jQuery functions, achieving this task is entirely feasible.
Before proceeding further, I recommend reviewing these two instances:
Sample 1 and Instance 2
As illustrated in the demonstration;
"columnDefs": [ {
"targets": -1,
"data": null,
"defaultContent": "<button>Click!</button>"
} ]
you have the option to include a "defaultContent" attribute to the specified column (which can be a button!). In the provided example, it is assigned to the final column within the table. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to assign any functionality to the onclick event of this button.
Alternatively, you could also detect row clicks using;
$('#example tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
var data = table.row( this ).data();
alert( 'You clicked on '+data[0]+'\'s row' );
} );
and trigger a bootstrap modal such as $("#myModal").modal()
, instead of displaying an alert message like,
alert( 'You clicked on '+data[0]+'\'s row' );
.
