in SearchPanes
Hello,
I use searchPanes with a custom pane based on these kind of options:
options: [
{
label: 'Autumn 2019',
value: function(rowData, rowIdx) {
return rowData[3] >= '2019-07-01' && rowData[3] <= '2019-12-31';
}
},
{
label: 'Spring 2020',
value: function(rowData, rowIdx) {
return rowData[3] >= '2020-01-01' && rowData[3] <= '2020-06-30';
}
}
etc...
It works fine if I use:
preSelect: ['Spring 2020']
However, I would like to set the preSelect value based on todays date. If todays date is between '2021-07-01' and '2021-12-31' the preselected label will be [Autumn 2021]. Is it possible? If yes, how can I do that?

That
preSelectin your code is just a string - so you could calculate the season and generate that string in a variable before you initialise DataTables, then pass that string in where your constant currently is. This SO thread has a nice algorithm to work out the season,Colin
