Angular-DataTables custom filter

Question

I am trying to add a custom filter to angular-DataTables with server side processing, which works perfectly with sorting and built in search of datatables.<

You can use withFnServerData with fromSource functions instead of withOption:

This API allows you to override the default function to retrieve the data (which is $.getJSON according to DataTables documentation) to something more suitable for you application.

It's mainly used for Datatables v1.9.4. See DataTable documentation.

$scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.fromSource('data.json')
    .withFnServerData(serverData);

function serverData (sSource, aoData, fnCallback, oSettings) {
    oSettings.jqXHR = $.ajax({
        'dataType': 'json',
        'type': 'POST',
        'url': sSource,
        'data': aoData,
        'success': fnCallback
    });
