TableTools

TableTools is a plug-in for the DataTables HTML table enhancer, which adds a highly customisable button toolbar to a DataTable. Key features include:

Copy to clipboard
Save table data as CSV, XLS or PDF files
Print view for clean printing
Row selection options
Easy use predefined buttons
Simple customisation of buttons
Well defined API for advanced control

Installation

To use TableTools, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped TableTools package into a extensions directory in the DataTables package (in DataTables 1.9- use the extras directory). This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the examples directory in your web-browser.

Basic usage

TableTools is initialised using the T option that it adds to DataTables' dom option. For example:

$(document).ready( function () {
	$('#example').DataTable( {
		dom: 'T<"clear">lfrtip'
	} );
} );
