datatables.net 3.0.0-beta.1

DataTables - The Javascript table library

This package contains distribution files for the DataTables table library. While DataTables is dependency free, only the core software for this library is contained in this package - to be correctly styled, a styling package for DataTables must also be included (e.g. default, Bootstrap, Bulma, Foundation or others). Please see the npm installation documentation on the DataTables site for full details.

DataTables is a table enhancing library which adds features such as paging, ordering, search, scrolling and many more to a static HTML page. A comprehensive API is also available that can be used to manipulate the table. Please refer to the DataTables web-site for a full range of documentation and examples.
