formOptions

Form configuration options for the editing types Editor offers.
Please note - this property requires the Editor extension for DataTables.

Description

Editor provides a number of styling and behavioural options for the forms it displays,through the form-options object. The main editing methods provide the ability to set these options when calling the API methods, but it can also be useful (particularly if you are using the provided Buttons buttons) to specify default options that will be applied when those methods are called.

Editor has three editing modes:

• Main - create(), edit() and remove()
• Bubble - bubble()
• Inline - inline()

As each editing mode provides a significantly different interface for the end user to operate, this configuration object provides the ability to configure the form options for each individually. This is done through three object parameters:

• formOptions.main - Main editor
• formOptions.bubble - Bubble editor
• formOptions.inline - Inline editor

For full details of the form options available, please refer to the form-options object's documentation.

Type

This option can be given in the following type(s):

• object

			closeOnBackground: false
		},
		bubble: {
			title: true,
			closeOnBackground: false
		}

});
