            Description

            Currently, there is no selectall/deselectall javascript functionality for the ace:datatable. The only way to kind of do this is to use an ajax listener to modify the stateMap. This is not really acceptable because it forces you to do a submit...whereas simply selecting a single-row does not.

            I personally would like a selectall to ONLY select those columns that are visible (so only on the page shown and only those not filtered), but an option to selectall visible and selectall would be okay as well.

              r52778: added selectAllRowsInTable() and deselectAllRowsInTable() client-side-triggered utility functions, which perform a request to the server to set all rows to selected or deselected in the row state map

              r52775: added selectAllRowsOnPage() alias for selectAllRows() client-side function; added deselectAllRowsOnPage() alias for deselectAllRows() client-side function; added functionality to select and deselect all rows on the table to the Row State demo in the showcase

              It's not possible to add a client-side function to select all rows on the table that aren't being displayed on the page (either because of pagination, filtering or something else), because the row indexing is relative to the number of rows being currently displayed on the page, and this same indexing is used to communicate to the server which rows were selected. The operation of selecting/deselecting all rows in a table, whether they are visible or not, has always been possible via the row state map

              selectAllRows() and deselectAllRows() was added in 4.1 but these really should, explicitly, describe what they do which is selectAllRowsOnPage() and deselectAllRowsOnPage().

              These are also only marginally useful because there is no functionality to selectAllRowsInTable() and deselectAllRowsInTable().

              The datatable really needs this functionality because if someone makes a bunch of selections on different pages, there is currently no way of unselecting them without having to go to every page and do it. It would be extremely useful to allow for one button click to handle selecting/deselecting the whole table.
