What is the: 'Bfrtip' on datatable

Question

What is the: 'Bfrtip', in the datatable? I read the documentation, but it was not clear to me what this really does?

$(document).ready( function () {
    $('#na_datatable').DataTable({
        "order": [[ 0, "desc" ]],
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
          'print'
        ]
    });

Answer 1

The dom option for DataTables "Defines the table control elements to appear on the page and in what order".

For Bfrtip, the following options are set:

• B - Buttons
• f - Filtering input
• r - Processing display element
• t - The table
• i - Table information summary
• p - Pagination control
