I am trying to create a text dropdown with autocomplete feature to filter the fields.But it's not working properly. The custom filter search function is also calling the previous filter value.Code working for the static data but not for dynamic input text box data.
Here is the HTML code:
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="Stylesheet">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.2/jquery-ui.js" ></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.15/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script src="fil2.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="filter_css.css">
</head>
<body>

Here is the jquery code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#example').DataTable({
initComplete: function () {
var allcolsData=$('#example').DataTable().columns().data();
this.api()
.columns()
.every(function (){
var column = this;
var c_idx=column.index();
var colData=allcolsData[c_idx];
$.each(colData,function(i,v){
var p=v.split('value="');
if(p.length==1){
colData[i]=(p[0]);
}
else{
colData[i]=(p[1].split('">')[0]);
}
});
colData=Array.from(new Set(colData)).sort();
var select = $('<input type="text" />').appendTo($(column.header()))
.autocomplete({
source: colData,
minLength: 0,
scroll: true,
close: function(event, ui) {
// Close event fires when selection options closes
$('input')[0].value = ""; // Clear the input field
}
}).focus(function() {
$(this).autocomplete("search", "");
})
.on('autocompleteselect', function (e,ui) {
//console.log(ui.item);
var filterValue = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(ui.item.value);
console.log(filterValue);
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function (settings, data, dataIndex) {
console.log(filterValue+new Date($.now()));
if(data[c_idx].indexOf(filterValue) != -1){
return true;
}
return false;
});
column.draw();
});
});
},
});});
Here is the codepen link- https://codepen.io/prakshu/pen/JjLjdoJ
Filter autocomplete work fine for first time but not next time.
