datatables Getting started with datatables Installation

Example

Have required JavaScript and CSS files included in your index.html. You can do this by either using the CDN files availiable at the following paths:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/css/jquery.dataTables.css">
  
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.12/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>

Or by downloading individual local files and hosting them yourself. To get a comprehensive package of required JavaScript and CSS files visit the DataTables download builder which will allow you to pick and choose features you need and condense them into a single package (or offer individual files). Include these in the order displayed at the bottom of the page.

DataTables depends on jQuery, so include it before jquery.dataTables.js:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>

DataTables are also available through NPM

npm install datatables.net    # Core library
npm install datatables.net-dt # Styling

and Bower

bower install --save datatables.net
bower install --save datatables.net-dt
