        currentPage: 1,
        totalPages: 5,
        onPageChange: (page) => loadData(page)
    }
});
MomahTable.render('#tableContainer', columns, data, {
    search: {
        containerSelector: '#tableActions',
        inputId: 'searchInput',
        placeholder: 'Search...'

Handling Search/Filter Events​

When the user searches or filters, MomahTable will call one of these functions (in order):

  1. window.performSearch()
  2. window.LoadData()
  3. filterOptions.onFilter

Define one of these in your page:

function performSearch() {
    const value = document.getElementById('searchInput').value;
    console.log('Search value:', value);
    // Fetch new data and re-render table
}

function LoadData() {
    // Your data loading logic
}

Common Patterns​

Pattern 1: Table Only​

MomahTable.render('#tableContainer', columns, data);
MomahTable.render('#tableContainer', columns, data, {
    search: { containerSelector: '#tableActions' }
});

Pattern 3: Table with Pagination​

MomahTable.render('#tableContainer', columns, data, {
    pagination: {
        containerSelector: '#pagination',
        currentPage: 1,
        totalPages: 5,
        onPageChange: (page) => loadData(page)
    }
});

Pattern 4: Table with Search + Filter + Pagination​

MomahTable.render('#tableContainer', columns, data, {
    search: { containerSelector: '#tableActions' },
    filter: {
        containerSelector: '#tableActions',
        label: 'Filter',
        targetModalId: 'filterModal'
    },
    columnPicker: { containerSelector: '#tableActions' },
    pagination: {
        containerSelector: '#pagination',
        currentPage: 1,
        totalPages: 5,
        onPageChange: (page) => loadData(page)
    }
});

Hiding Columns​

Columns can be hidden in two ways:

Method 1: Using hide property​

const columns = [
    { header: 'ID', field: 'id' },
    { header: 'Secret', field: 'secret', hide: true }, // Hidden
    { header: 'Name', field: 'name' }
];

Method 2: Using show property​

const columns = [
    { header: 'ID', field: 'id' },
    { header: 'Secret', field: 'secret', show: false }, // Hidden
    { header: 'Name', field: 'name' }
];

Notes​

  • The render function returns HTML content for cells
  • Hidden columns (with hide: true) won't appear in the Column Picker
  • Search input automatically triggers Enter key to search
  • Clear button (X) in search input clears and triggers search
  • Pagination shows ellipsis (...) for large page counts
