[Feature req][3.4] Custom bulk buttons

In the future, I foresee the need of checkboxes in the first table column and having bulk buttons at the top/bottom of the table, for bulk actions.

This is the proposed syntax for that:

$this->crud->addBulkButton('name', 'url_to_send_a_post_request_with_their_ids');
$this->crud->setBulkButtonsOrder(['send_email', 'delete']);

Any better solutions?

BOOM! Bulk buttons are almost here - finally been able to make this a priority 😃

If you have time, please check out this PR and let me know what you think.

Cheers!

With BP/CRUD 3.4.4, this work with the official select plugin from Datatable team.

You must indeed include the plugin with cnd (seem only possible with the download tool) so I downloaded it and include it from my structure : This is added localy : <script src="{{ asset('vendor/backpack/datatable/dataTables.select.min.js') }}"></script>

Datatable config to add in datatable_config.blade.php setting for multiselect (the column 0, will have a the icon already and will be the cell that trigger the select action. So personnaly, I used the check colum type and removed the content since the class select-checkbox add already the icon :

'columnDefs': [ {
  'orderable': false,
  'targets':   0,
  'className': 'select-checkbox',
   'targets': 0,
} ],
  'select': {
   'info': true,
   'style':    'multi',/*os for single selection*/
   'selector': 'td:first-child'
}
