row().select()
Select a single row.
Please note - this property requires the Select extension for DataTables.
Description
This method simply selects a single row that has been found by the row() selector method.
If the selection style (select.style / select.style()) is set to single any previously selected rows will be automatically deselected. Otherwise the row will be added to the current selected set.
Selected rows can later be retrieved using the selected extension to the selector-modifier object - for example table.rows( { selected: true } ).data() will get the data of all rows which are selected in the table.
