# AutoFill



AutoFill gives an Excel like option to a DataTable to click and drag over multiple cells, filling in information over the selected cells and incrementing numbers as needed. Key features include:



* Click and drag cell content insertion

* Automatic incrementing of numeric information

* Enable and disable on any column

* Detailed callback functions for customisation

* Support for both DataTables and browser window scrolling





# Installation



To use AutoFill, first download DataTables ( https://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped AutoFill package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.





# Basic usage



AutoFill is initialised using the `$.fn.dataTable.AutoFill` constructor. For example:



```js

$(document).ready( function () {

    var table = $('#example').dataTable();

    new $.fn.dataTable.AutoFill( table );

} );

```
