select all rows in django_tables2

Question

I have tried to select all rows in a table by clicking on the upper check box in a CheckBoxColumn with the following definition:

selection = tables.CheckBoxC         


        

Answer 1

It is possible to select all checkboxes in a CheckBoxColumn by replacing the input attribute in the header cell:

selection = tables.CheckBoxColumn(accessor="pk", attrs = { "th__input": 
                                        {"onclick": "toggle(this)"}},
                                        orderable=False)

Then this JavaScript construct in the template file should do the work.
