I am working on cascading datatable columns. It works fine. However, I am not sure how to apply reset filter to the reset button. Here is what I have. The requirement is when I click on Clear Filters, it will remove the drop-down column filter as well as search text filter. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
responsive: true,
searching: true
});
buildSelect( table );
table.on( 'draw', function () {
buildSelect( table );
} );
});
function buildSelect( table ) {
var counter = 0;
table.columns( [0, 1, 2] ).every( function () {
var column = table.column( this, {search: 'applied'} );
counter++;
var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
.appendTo( $( '#dropdown' + counter ).empty() )
.on( 'change', function () {
var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
$(this).val()
);
column
.search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
.draw();
} );
column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' );
} );
// The rebuild will clear the exisiting select, so it needs to be repopulated
var currSearch = column.search();
if ( currSearch ) {
select.val( currSearch.substring(1, currSearch.length-1) );
}
} );
}

You have to add a click listener to the "Clear Filters" button.

This code works fine for me.
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
responsive: true,
searching: true
});
buildSelect(table);
table.on('draw', function() {
buildSelect(table);
});
$('#test').on('click', function() {
table.search('').columns().search('').draw();
});
});
