Set table width to 100% on PDF export in Datatables

Posted on
I've been using DataTables a lot these days, it's good. Actually, it's a very good plug-in for displaying data in table (haha), with lots of interaction.

Few and should be implemented feature:

  • Can't export multiple table headers
  • API for table width in PDF Export 
  • Adding header and footer for Excel Export
DataTables uses pdfmake library for its pdf export module.

Sample output of pdf


To make the table width 100%, as per pdfmake documentation we should set its width to "*".

 Here it goes:

 Edit the datatables JS file, find t.table.widths="auto", change it to t.table.widths="*".

 You might want to change the alignment of the table header also:

 Find 
tableHeader:{bold:!0,fontSize:11,color:"white",fillColor:"#2d4154",alignment:"center"

 Set the alignment to left.
sample output after the tweak

Splinterlands has been fun for me!  I love strategy games, coming from NarutoArena way back 2000s, this NFT game is enjoyable. Being a beginner, to get your rank up from Bronze III to Bronze II is hard compared to Bronze II to I. I guess because in B3 the only ruleset is Standard (no restrictions except mana costs) making it hard to select/build your splinter in battle.  In this post, I'll be sharing my water deck. I rented the cards below. Summoner : Alric Stormbringer +1 Magic to splinters and just 3 mana cost. This makes this summoner great. Tank :  Lobstradamus   For its hit points at 9 and ability to reduce damage from melee and range attacker, and just 6 mana cost this is a great tank although it is slow. Adding the +1 magic from Alric, you have 2 direct damage per attack. Support: Venari Wavesmith   This card adds armor to friendly monsters (plus +2 direct damage per turn), although it has 5 mana cost having this gives your low HP splinters protection fr...
