jQuery dataTables - get filtered column values
You can read all about dataTables advanced selector-modifiers
here -> http://datatables.net/reference/type/selector-modifier
If you want to get filtered rows only :
table.rows( { search:'applied' } ).data().each(function(value, index) {
console.log(value, index);
});
To target a specific column, and get filtered values only (your specific request) - here all filtered values from column #2 :
table.column(2, { search:'applied' } ).data().each(function(value, index) {
console.log(value, index);
});
See demo with both -> http://jsfiddle.net/q0e1bdcz/
To create an array over filtered values for a specific column :
var array = [];
table.column(2, { search:'applied' } ).data().each(function(value, index) {
array.push(value);
});
console.log(array);
See demo -> http://jsfiddle.net/q0e1bdcz/1/
You can also get unique and sorted data if you have more number of entries.
// Datatable object
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
// Get Unique and Sorted values.
table.column(3, { search:'applied' } ).data().unique().sort().each(function(value, index) {
console.log(value, index);
});
