Buttons example Foundation styling

This example shows DataTables and the Buttons extension being used with the Foundation framework providing the styling. The DataTables / Foundation integration prove seamless integration for DataTables to be used in a Foundation page.

Note that for ease of implementation, the buttons option is specified as true to use the default options, and the buttons().container() method then used to insert the buttons into the document. It is possible to use the dom option to insert the buttons like in the DataTables styled examples, but the default dom option used for Foundation styling is quite complex and would need to be fully restated.
