                    <div class="table-responsive">
                        <table id="DepotTable" class="table table-bordered table-striped" style="width:100%">
                            <thead>
                                <tr>

```
"columns": [
                {
                    data: null,
                    className: "select-checkbox",
                    defaultContent: "",
                    orderable: false
                }
                { "data": 'DepotNo' },
                { "data": 'DepotName' }
            ]
```
Add the additional column definition shown above.

You may also what to look at the other settings for select. How I have mine is shown below. This allows clicking in all columns except the last one to select the row. If you only want the first column (the one with the checkbox) to select the row change the selector to "tr".
```
        select: {
            style: "multi+shift",
            selector: "td:not(:last-child)"
        },
```
EDIT: Make sure to add the column to the actual table definition as well.

EDIT: For a Select All and Select None button you need to add a buttons[] section to your code. You also need to define where the buttons should be by defining the dom section.
```
buttons: [
                {
                    text: "<i class='fa fa-check-square'></i> Select All",
                    titleAttr: "Select All Visible Rows",
                    className: "btn-sm",
                    extend: "selectAll"
                },
                {
                    text: "<i class='fa fa-square'></i> Select None",
                    titleAttr: "Un-Select All Rows",
                    className: "btn-sm",
                    extend: "selectNone"
                }

],

        dom: "lBfrtip",
```
The buttons appear where the B is.

Hi polachan,

According to your description, I suggest you add <th><input type="checkbox" name="select_all" value="1" id="example-select-all" /></th> in the table as the table header. Then you could attach event handler to handle clicks on "select all" control.

More details, you could refer to below codes:

  

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.7/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"> </script>
    <link href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.7/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        alert("part1");
        GetDepotList();
    });

    function GetDepotList() {
           var url = "https://api.myjson.com/bins/1us28";  
        table = $('#DepotTable').DataTable({
            "processing": true,
            "ajax": {
                "url": url,
            },
            'columnDefs': [
                {
                    'targets': 0,
                    'searchable': false,
                    'orderable': false,
                    'className': 'dt-body-center',
                    'render': function (data, type, full, meta) {
                        return '<input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="' + $('<div/>').text(data).html() + '">';
                    }
                }],
            order: [1, 'asc'],
            scrollY: "400px",
            scrollX: true,
            paging: false,
        });

        $('#example-select-all').on('click', function () {
            var rows = table.rows({ 'search': 'applied' }).nodes();
            $('input[type="checkbox"]', rows).prop('checked', this.checked);
        });

       
        $('#example tbody').on('change', 'input[type="checkbox"]', function () {
            if (!this.checked) {
                var el = $('#example-select-all').get(0);
                if (el && el.checked && ('indeterminate' in el)) {
                    el.indeterminate = true;
                }
            }
        });

        $('#frm-example').on('submit', function (e) {
            var form = this;
            table.$('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function () {
                if (!$.contains(document, this)) {
                    if (this.checked) {
                        $(form).append(
                            $('<input>')
                                .attr('type', 'hidden')
                                .attr('name', this.name)
                                .val(this.value)
                        );
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    }

    </script>


<div class="col-md-12 att-area">
                    <div class="table-responsive">
                        <table id="DepotTable" class="table table-bordered table-striped" style="width:100%">

                                    <th>Depot</th>

                            </thead>

                                    <th>DepotNo</th>

                            </tfoot>

                    </div>
                </div>

Re: how can I add checkbox button in js Datatable

Nov 18, 2019 07:58 AM|yij sun|LINK

Hi polachan,

According to your description and codes, I suggest you could check you have include the datatable’s css reference firstly.

Besides, if you have already added this reference, I suggest you could try to add some css style for the th to center the table title.

More details, you could refer to below codes:

<style>

        .table th {

    text-align: center;

    vertical-align: middle !important;

}

    </style>

    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.7/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"> </script>

<%--        <link href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.7/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />--%>

    <script>

        $(document).ready(function () {

            GetDepotList();

 

            //var data = table.rows('.selected').data();

        });

 

        function GetDepotList() {

           var url = "https://api.myjson.com/bins/1us28";      

        table = $('#DepotTable').DataTable({

            "processing": true,

            "ajax": {

                "url": url,

            },

                'columnDefs': [

                    {

                        'targets': 0,

                        'searchable': false,

                        'orderable': false,

                        'className': 'dt-body-center',

                        'render': function (data, type, full, meta) {

                            return '<input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="' + $('<div/>').text(data).html() + '">';

                        }

                    }],

                order: [1, 'asc'],

                scrollY: "400px",

                scrollX: true,

         

            paging: false,

               

            createdRow: function( row, data, dataIndex ) {

                $(row).children('td').attr('style', 'text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;');

            }

            });

 

            $('#example-select-all').on('click', function () {

                var rows = table.rows({ 'search': 'applied' }).nodes();

                $('input[type="checkbox"]', rows).prop('checked', this.checked);

            });

 

 

            $('#example tbody').on('change', 'input[type="checkbox"]', function () {

                if (!this.checked) {

                    var el = $('#example-select-all').get(0);

                    if (el && el.checked && ('indeterminate' in el)) {
