# With the DataTables Light Column Filter

The `angular-datatables` also provides an API in order to make the plugin `Light Column Filter` work with datatables.

You need to add the file `angular-datatables.light-columnfilter.min.js` to your HTML file.

The Light Column Filter only works with serverside processing!

You also need to add the dependency `datatables.light-columnfilter` to your Angular app.

See the API for the complete list of methods of the helper.
