Hi All,

I want to delete selected rows from datatable on a button click. How can I do that? Can anyone share a sample working code.

Thanks Raj, But I am looking for How to use standard function which comes with datatable, 'getSelectedRows' is one of the function which comes with datatable. I am not finding any working example of that.

It may be a little late but others as I did, can came for the same information, 

What I used was,

In the markup side of the component:
<lightning:datatable keyField="id" data="{! v.ResLines }" columns="{! v.ResLineColumns }" aura:id="linesTable"/>
Note de aura:id attribute


In the controller side you can do something like:
let lines = [];
lines = cmp.find('linesTable').getSelectedRows();
console.log(JSON.stringify(lines));

So, your find the lightning:datatable by its aura:id and the you can use the method
