In this article, we will see how to add multiple filter dropdowns in datatable. This example is almost identical to the text-based individual column example and provides the same functionality, but in this case, using select input controls.
So, let's see jquery datatable column filter dropdown on top, datatable search filter, datatables search multiple columns, datatables specific column filter, dropdown filter on a specific column in datatable, individual column searching in datatable, jquery datatables dropdown filtering for specific columns, laravel 8/9 datatable specific column search, individual column searching datatables in laravel 8 and laravel 9
The API is used to build the select inputs through the use of columns().every() to loop over the columns (the columns() the selector can also be used to limit the selected columns if required), then the column().data() the method is used to get the data for each column in turn.
