$.fn.dataTable is undefined

[sudhanshu-hytech]

I am using angular-datatables v 11.2
Now I am trying to replicate custom filtering example in my project
link: https://l-lin.github.io/angular-datatables/#/advanced/custom-range-search

In my component.ts :

ngOnInit(): void {
 
    $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push((settings, data, dataIndex) => {
      console.log("rolefilter: "+this.roleFilter+" data: "+data[6]);
      if ((this.roleFilter == "") || (this.roleFilter == data[6])) {
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    });
 
    this.dtOptions = {
      pagingType: 'full_numbers',
      pageLength:5,
      processing:true,
      responsive: true
    }; 
  }

The error I am getting is

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ext')
    at UserProfileComponent.ngOnInit (user-profile.component.ts:73:20)
    at callHook (core.js:2573:1)

why I am not able to get $.fn.dataTable?? how to fix this error?

Hi,

It looks like $.fn.dataTable is undefined. Can you upload the entire contents of the following files?

1. angular.json
2. package.json
3. HTML, TS files of your UserProfileComponent

For best results, I recommend creating a small, reproducible GitHub repo or StackBlitz link to investigate.
