Best approach to have a button in every row?

Karlo

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to have a button in each DataTable row. I didn't find this built-in, so I created this fiddle using an unbound column with defaultContent set to some html markup:

Can you please have a look and tell me if this is good or whether there's a better way?

Thanks!

I would suggest using a renderer with a delegated event handler. However, the approach you have taken is absolutely valid as well.

hello am using the buttons to redirect to one of my routes of my app. I would like each row to have two buttons that redirect to different route that depend on the data in the Row. This method worked wonderfully for one button, but when i try to add a second i get an error any idea how i can fix it?

This thread also has some examples with multiple buttons in a column.
