jQuery DataTables: hide 'delete' button for the last row

Question

I have a DataTable which can return multiple pages in some cases. Each row returned, displays a delete button but what i need it to hide this button on the very las

Answer 1

May I recommend not to hide 'delete' button, when you got the last entry in your table (which will look awkward, from user standpoint), but rather to disable that?

Here's the example of my point (I'm sure, you'll grasp the idea):

//table data
const srcData = [
  {name: 'apple', category: 'fruit'},
  {name: 'banana', category: 'fruit'},
  {name: 'carrot', category: 'vegie'},
  {name: 'pineapple', category: 'fruit'},
  {name: 'kiwi', category: 'fruit'},
];
//table initialization
const dataTable = $('#mytable').DataTable({
  sDom: 'tp',
  data: srcData,
  ordering: false,
  pageLength:3,
  drawCallback: () => {
    const table = $('#mytable').DataTable();
    $(table.row(table.rows(':last')).node()).find('button').remove();
  },
  columns: [
    {title: 'Name', data: 'name'},
    {
      title: 'Category', 
      data: 'category', 
      render: data => data+'x'},
  ]
});
//'delete' button callback
$('#mytable').on('click', 'td button', function(){
  dataTable.row($(this).closest('tr')).remove().draw();
});

tbody td button {float:right}
