FooTable API

You can access most of the FooTable functions very easily. First, get the FooTable object from your table, which is stored in the data:

var footable = $('.footable').data('footable');

And then call a function inside the FooTable object:

//force FooTable to redraw itself
footable.redraw();

//delete a row
footable.removeRow(row_to_delete);

Some functions you may want to call include resize, redraw, toggleDetail, removeRow, appendRow, createOrUpdateDetailRow, raise

Example code from demo

$('.row_actions a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    //get the FooTable object from the table
    var footable = $(this).parents('table:first').data('footable');

    //get the row we clicked on
    var $row = $(this).parents('tr:first');

    //determine the action we want to perform
    if ($(this).text() == 'delete') {
        if (confirm('are you sure?')) {
            footable.removeRow($row);
        }
    } else {
        footable.toggleDetail($row);
    }
});
