DataTables comes with few themes, including those for Bootstrap 3 and 4. These themes work really well for Material Design for Bootstrap (MDB) as is, but...
This work enhances the Bootstrap 3 theme and takes advantage of the nice pagination and inputs available in MDB to make it look even even better!
Initially only the pagination was implemented but, with some help and advice from Allan I got the filter input as well as the length select to work, using Input Fields and Material Select respectively.
There is presently no support for custom renderers for these elements so the "initComplete" function has been hijacked. Once custom renderers are implemented I'll move the work over to a that mechanism.
Once I have more time I'll also adapt it so that it will work with BootStrap 4 and MDB4.
