buttons.buttons.init

Initialisation function that can be used to add events specific to this button

1.0.0 Default function depends upon the button type. Please refer to the button type documentation init( dt, node, config ) DataTables API instance for the selected button - i.e. `b-api button()` for the button in question A DataTables API instance for the host DataTable jQuery instance for the button node that was clicked on The button's configuration object No return value is required or expected. No action is taken upon any value that is returned. The function given here is called when the button is built (or re-built) and can therefore be used to attach custom events to the host DataTable (or any other object) which are specific to this button. This function provides the ability to button plug-in authors to run custom code when a button is initialised. This can be useful for attaching event handlers to the host DataTable that will update the button. For example, the buttons provided by the _Select_ extension for DataTables make use of this to create buttons types which are only active when there is one or more item in the DataTable selected.
