Purpose
Customize or translate the options available in a select filter within a DataTable. This filter allows developers to dynamically modify the display text or other attributes of select filter options.
Usage
add_filter( "wr_datatable_filter_select_options", array( $this, "translate_datatable_filter_select_options" ), 10, 3 );
Parameters
$options (array)
: The current options available for the select filter. Each option is an associative array containing keys like ‘value’ and ‘text’.$selected_value (mixed)
: The currently selected value in the filter, if any.$settings (array)
: The settings associated with the DataTable, providing additional context.
Use Case
This functionality is useful when:
- You need to translate the text of filter options into a specific language using a translation function.
- Customizing the filter options dynamically based on user preferences, roles, or other criteria.
Implementation Example
The following example translates the text of each select filter option using the __()
function with the text domain example-text-domain
:
add_filter( "wr_datatable_filter_select_options", array( $this, "translate_datatable_filter_select_options" ), 10, 3 );
public function translate_datatable_filter_select_options( $options, $selected_value, $settings ) {
foreach ( $options as &$option ) {
$option['text'] = __( $option['text'], "example-text-domain" );
}
return $options;
}
