    //fromRow - the row component from the sending table
    //toRow - the row component from the receiving table (if available)
    //fromTable - the Tabulator object for the sending table
    },
});

Receiving Stop

The movableRowsReceivingStop callback is triggered on a receiving table after a row has been dropped and any senders and receivers have been handled.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    movableRowsReceivingStop:function(fromTable){
    //fromTable - the Tabulator object for the sending table
    },
});

Validation Callbacks

Validation Failed

The validationFailed event is triggered when the value entered into a cell during an edit fails to pass validation.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    validationFailed:function(cell, value, validators){
    //cell - cell component for the edited cell
    //value - the value that failed validation
    //validatiors - an array of validator objects that failed
    },
});

History Callbacks

History callbacks are triggered when undo and redo actions are triggered.

The history callbacks are passed three arguments, the first is a string representing the action being undone/redone, the second is the Row or Cell component relating to the action, the third is the data object related to the action. The table below outlines the possible actions and their associated data objects:

Action	Description	Component	Data
cellEdit	Cell value edited	Cell Component	{ oldValue:"", //the original value of the cell newValue:"", //the nev value of the cell }
rowAdd	Row added to table	Row Component	{ data:{}, //the data contained in the row pos:0, //the position the row was inserted into the table index:0, //the index column value for the row }
rowDelete	Row deleted from table	Row Component	{ data:{}, //the data contained in the row pos:0, //the position the row was removed from the table index:0, //the index column value for the row }
rowMoved	Row moved to new position in table	Row Component	{ pos:0, //the position the row was moved from to:null, //row component for the row this row was moved next to after:false, //row was moved before or after the "to" row }

Undo Occurred

The historyUndo event is triggered when the undo action is triggered.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    historyUndo:function(action, component, data){
    //action - the action that has been undone
    //component - the Component object affected by the action (could be a row or cell component)
    //data - the data being changed
    },
});

Redo Occurred

The historyRedo event is triggered when the redo action is triggered.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    historyRedo:function(action, component, data){
    //action - the action that has been redone
    //component - the Component object affected by the action (could be a row or cell component)
    //data - the data being changed
    },
});

Clipboard Callbacks

Data Copied to Clipboard

The clipboardCopied event is triggered whenever data is copied to the clipboard.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    clipboardCopied:function(clipboard){
    //clipboard - the string that has been copied into the clipboard
    },
});

Data Pasted into Table

The clipboardPasted event is triggered whenever data is successfully pasted into the table.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    clipboardPasted:function(clipboard, rowData, rows){
    //clipboard - the clipboard string
    //rowData - the row data from the paste parser
    //rows - the row components from the paste action (this will be empty if the "replace" action is used)
    },
});

Data Paste into Table Failed

The clipboardPasteError event is triggered whenever an attempt to paste data into the table has failed because it was rejected by the paste parser.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    clipboardPasteError:function(clipboard){
    //clipboard - the clipboard string that was rejected by the paste parser
    },
});

Download Callbacks

Mutate Data Before Download

If you want to make any changes to the table data before it is parsed into the download file you can pass a mutator function to the downloadDataFormatter callback.

In the example below we map the numerical age column into a string of "adult" or "child" based on the age value

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    downloadDataFormatter:function(data){
    //data - active table data array

    data.forEach(function(row){
    row.age = row.age >= 18 ? "adult" : "child";
});

return data;
    },
});

Intercept & Manipulate Download Blob

The downloadReady callback allows you to intercept the download file data before the users is prompted to save the file.

In order for the download to proceed the downloadReady callback is expected to return a blob of file to be downloaded.

If you would prefer to abort the download you can return false from this callback. This could be useful for example if you want to send the created file to a server via ajax rather than allowing the user to download the file.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    downloadReady:function(fileContents, blob){
    //fileContents - the unencoded contents of the file
    //blob - the blob object for the download

    //custom action to send blob to server could be included here

    return blob; //must return a blob to proceed with the download, return false to abort download
    },
});

Download Complete

The downloadComplete callback is triggered when the user has been prompted to download the file.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    downloadComplete:function(){
    },
});

Data Tree Callbacks

Row Expanded

The dataTreeRowExpanded callback is triggered when a row with child rows is expanded to reveal the children.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    dataTreeRowExpanded:function(row, level){
        //row - the row component for the expanded row
        //level - the depth of the row in the tree
    },
});

Row Collapsed

The dataTreeRowCollapsed callback is triggered when a row with child rows is collapsed to hide its children.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    dataTreeRowCollapsed:function(row, level){
        //row - the row component for the collapsed row
        //level - the depth of the row in the tree
    },
});

Scrolling Callbacks

Vertical Scroll

The scrollVertical callback is triggered when the table is vertically scrolled.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    scrollVertical:function(top){
        //top - the current vertical scroll position
    },
});

Complex Functions This function is called many times during a scroll. It is strongly recommended that you don't carry out any intensive actions or call any other functions on the table in this function as it will slow down the table rendering and result in a poor user experience.

Horizontal Scroll

The scrollHorizontal callback is triggered when the table is horizontally scrolled.

var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    scrollHorizontal:function(left){
        //left - the current horizontal scroll position
    },
});
