Responsive example Default initialisation

It can often be useful to be able to set a default value for DataTables' initialisation options, providing a common starting point for initialisation when working with multiple tables over many pages or even just on a single page. DataTables provides that ability through the $.fn.dataTable.defaults object which can have any of the initialisation options set.

Extending that ability, Responsive can also be set to initialise by default, as shown in this example thorugh the $.fn.dataTable.defaults.responsive property. Extending that, all of the Responsive options can also be set using this configuration option (i.e. use responsive as an object).

The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:

$.extend( $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
    responsive: true
} );
 
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable();
} );

In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:
