# simple-datatables
A lightweight, extendable, JavaScript HTML table library written in TypeScript and transpilled to Vanilla JavaScript. Similar to jQuery DataTables **for use in modern browsers**, but without the jQuery dependency.
## Examples / Demos
See the demos [here](https://fiduswriter.github.io/simple-datatables/demos/) and the documentation [here](https://fiduswriter.github.io/simple-datatables/documentation/).
### Upgrading
For upgrading from one major version to another, check the upgrade guide:
https://fiduswriter.github.io/simple-datatables/documentation/Upgrading
**Note**: The upgrade from version 5 version 6 is the most complicated upgrade so far. Please read through the instructions before filing complaints. If you run simple-datatables from a CDN, make sure that you have fixed it to a specific major or minor version so that you do not accidentally upload to a new version that requires you to do lots of manual adjustments.
# CDN
To use the CDN version of simple-datatables use either [https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-datatables@latest](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-datatables@latest) or [https://unpkg.com/simple-datatables](https://unpkg.com/simple-datatables). You also need to add the CSS styling, so the elements you'll add to html head element can for example be these:
**Note:** For production websites, specify a specific major version. For example [https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-datatables@6](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-datatables@6) for the latest version in the 6.x.x series or [https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]) for the latest version in the 6.0.x series.

### History
This project started as a fork of [Vanilla-DataTables](https://github.com/Mobius1/Vanilla-DataTables), but it has since been converted to TypeScript.
If you want a version that works in very old browsers (IE, etc.), then head over to https://github.com/fiduswriter/simple-datatables-classic .

### Install
## npm
```
npm install simple-datatables --save
```
## Yarn
```
yarn add simple-datatables
```
---
### Quick Start
Then just initialise the plugin by import DataTable and either passing a reference to the table or a CSS3 selector string as the first parameter:
```javascript
import {DataTable} from "simple-datatables"
const myTable = document.querySelector("#myTable");
const dataTable = new DataTable(myTable);
// or
const dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable");
```
You can also pass the options object as the second parameter:
```javascript
import {DataTable} from "simple-datatables"
const dataTable = new DataTable("#myTable", {
searchable: false,
fixedHeight: true,
...
})
```
If using the CDN:
```javascript
const dataTable = new simpleDatatables.DataTable("#myTable", {
searchable: false,
fixedHeight: true,
...
})
```
