In Angular JS how to disable column sort feature for selected columns

vinothini picture vinothini · Jun 24, 2015 · Viewed 17.4k times · Source

In jquery data table I can disable specific column sort by

"aoColumnDefs": [{
                'bSortable': false,
                'aTargets': [0, 7]
            }]

Anyone know how to do this in angular JS?

<table class="custom-table" datatable="ng" dt-options="dtOptions" id="contacts-list-table">
</table>

myApp.controller("ListCtr", ['DTOptionsBuilder', function(DTOptionsBuilder) {
  $scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions().withDOM('C<"clear">lfrtip') 
}])

this code hiding my search bar but not able to hide sort feature of my first and fourth column?

The angular-datatables equivalence to

aoColumnDefs: [{ bSortable: false, aTargets: [0, 4] }]

is

$scope.dtColumnDefs = [
   DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(0).notSortable(),
   DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(4).notSortable()
];

...

<table class="custom-table" dt-column-defs="dtColumnDefs" datatable="ng" dt-options="dtOptions" id="contacts-list-table"></table>

You must include DTColumnDefBuilder in the controller :

myApp.controller("ListCtr", ['DTOptionsBuilder', 'DTColumnDefBuilder',
    function(DTOptionsBuilder, DTColumnDefBuilder) {
       $scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions().withDOM('C<"clear">lfrtip');
       $scope.dtColumnDefs = [
          DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(0).notSortable(),
          DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(4).notSortable()
       ];
    }
])
