Select 2.0.0

DataTables CDN files for Select 2.0.0. This software was originally released on 15th February, 2024.

Release notes

This is a major update to the Select extension for DataTables. It makes full use of the DataTables 2 data type APIs to introduce a new checkbox row selection renderer, in part to help accessability, but also to allow more consistent styling in an application.

Select 2 is not compatible with DataTables 1.x, it requires DataTables 2+ due to the use of the new APIs.

New

Requires DataTables 2
Row selection via keyboard with checkbox mode
Real checkboxes for row selection through a new DataTable.render.select() renderer
Column ordering is automatically handled by the select renderer. A new example demonstrates this.
A checkbox is added to the header when using the checkbox renderer, to summarise current checked state, and allow a select / deselect all action.
aria-label attribute values can be set for the checkboxes used in table row selection and the select all header checkbox.
select.headerCheckbox option which can be used to disable the new header checkbox.

Updates

Legacy select-checkbox class now uses only :before pseudo element rather than :before and :after. The styling is still the same, but it frees up the :after for other use (FixedColumns new shading specifically).

Fixes

Background colour for column and cell selection wasn't matching the row selection.
Remove use of $.inArray and replace with native function
