What is the best way to get data from the selected rows?

[wgwz]

I'm guessing I can probably make use of this: https://github.com/frappe/datatable/blob/31264d1f4da9445c147fdc1060914aa44fa440fa/src/filterRows.js#L3-L30

But it's unclear how I could get the rows that are selected, idiomatically at least, using this library.

It might be a useful addition to the API to add a getSelectedRows function following this one: https://github.com/frappe/datatable/blob/master/src/datatable.js#L174-L176

Any suggestions appreciated.

Bingo, https://github.com/frappe/datatable/blob/67f9717827f5d960cb01f523d2f2943106b55680/src/rowmanager.js#L74-L88

I'd suggest documentation on this. I will try to submit an MR for this.

Also it's still pretty unclear, at least to me how to use the filterRows function. Again, once I get examples I'd be glad to contribute. Although it doesn't look like the docs are in this repo.

I had a situation where I wanted to get the selected data out an initial datatable object and move it to a new datatable. Getting that data out of the datatable object feels a little clunky, at least the way I did it:

function getSelectedRows(datatable) {                                                                                                                                                                                                         
  console.log("getSelectedRows")                                                                                                                                                                                                              
  console.log(datatable.options.data);                                                                                                                                                                                                        
  console.log(datatable.rowmanager.getCheckedRows());                                                                                                                                                                                         
  var selectData = datatable.rowmanager.getCheckedRows().map(x => datatable.options.data[parseInt(x)]);                                                                                                                                       
  console.log(selectData);                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  return selectData                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
}

Any suggestions appreciated, in terms of a better way to do this.
