Problem with search in datatable


Topic: Problem with search in datatable

DerLino pro priority asked 1 months ago

I want to add a datatable to a tab content with search input but the search doesn't work.

I add this code: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/derlino/2887512#html-tab-view

Do you know why I have problems with that? The normal datatable functions work well but javascript seems to make problems

In your code you refer to an element with id = datatable, but in html you do not have such an element. There is only an element with a datatable class.

Ah I'm lost :D Thank you for this. But now I've the next problem.

1. The search datatable with round about 50.000 data entries is really slow if want to search something. Is there something that I could do if I have much data?

2. If I search f.e. "3875", than ther're entries with the number "903" f.e. Here the example: https://www.directupload.net/file/d/6106/6odnjnmz_png.htm

That's actually a lot of data. In this situation, you should consider loading data asynchronously. Similarly, with search, it should then be handled asynchronously. Unfortunately, datatable does not have a built-in option that will enable this.
